Millions
of Turks will head to the polls on Sunday to vote in a tight referendum race
that could transform the country into a presidential republic, in what could be
one of the most significant developments in the nation’s history since its
founding after the collapse of the Ottoman empire. April 15, 2017 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/apr/15/turkey-prepares-for-tight-vote-that-could-strengthen-erdogans-grip-on-power
The Turkish
referendum is best understood if we begin with the chart for the September 1,
2016 solar eclipse at Ankara. Notice
that the eclipse is placed in the 10th leaders that rules government
leaders like the PM or President of a country. It forms a T-square with Saturn-Neptune. This
New Moon eclipse lies in the midst of the stars of Leo and under the auspices
of Thuban of Draco and Alioth of the Great Bear. It also conjoins the stars of
the Sextant, and Suhail Velorum of Argo Navis.
Writing about this eclipse in his blog post entitled New
Directions [1], Nick Fiorenza states:
This area dramatizes the separation between those choosing to fight
for a greater evolutionary vision and those wanting to maintain totalitarian
control of the Earth.
Solar eclipses can invite a new beginning or way of life. But whether Turks will choose a
dictator like Erdogan or reject him in the referendum is entirely up to their
collective will. The stars do not impose a choice. They simply highlight the
issue at stake.
That this choice is to be made on Sunday, April 16 can be
seen if we progress the eclipse chart to this date. Notice that the progressed
angles trigger the eclipse T-square on this date.
In general, a Saturn-Neptune cycle is about
the structuring of our ideologies into concretized form, whether those
structures are beliefs that uphold and defend those ideologies, or physical
constructs we build in our lives. It is also about the structuring of, as well
as constrictions about, society's ideologies and sociopolitical orders. When
Saturn and Neptune conjoin and initiate a new synodic cycle, as occurred in
1989, two primary things occur. Neptune wants to dissolve Saturn's previous
constructs and segregations into universality, and Saturn wants to solidify the
visions and ideals inspired by Neptune into societal structure, ideals which
had been gestating from the previous cycle, in essence wanting to birth a new
sociopolitical order as the cycle begins. This energetic can also accentuate
resistance from long-established sociopolitical structures to any new
ideologies trying to emerge.
Neptune's more visionary and purer spiritual
resonances are embodied only by more mature and older souls, self-aware
individuals. For the masses however this generally is not the case, as many
people experience Neptune's lesser expression, being impressionable, lost in
following others, the glitter and glamour, and phenomenology of life. Thus, a
Saturn-Neptune synthesis can still result in the formation of new religious or
political dogmas, their rules and regulations, and their idealistic followings.
In the sociopolitical arena, Saturn-Neptune
cycles are about the ebb and flow of more conservative, controlling and
authoritarian ideals, although this specific cycle was also influenced by the
Saturn-Uranus synthesis as well, adding a rebellious progressive element to
create change in conservative currents and authoritarian political orders. [2]
