Astrology Of The Saudi Power Struggle



Political instability in Saudi Arabia is growing as King Salman bin Abdulaziz begins to overhaul the Saudi government, putting a long list of family members into positions of influence while increasing the power of his son, Deputy Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman. These actions have the potential to lead to a direct conflict with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef. The expected internal power collision, predicted by many analysts, finally seems to be heating up. http://oilprice.com/Geopolitics/Middle-East/Saudi-Power-Struggle-Could-Destabilize-The-Entire-Middle-East.html







The horoscope of Saudi Arabia [1] provided by Astro-databank is used here.

In a national chart the 10th house is the King or ruling government while the 4th house is the opposition. Here the Gemini Moon in the 4th  square Mercury refers to family and siblings constituting the opposition. The progressed Sun opposite the Moon implies trouble in the family  enhanced by Saturn currently transiting over the progressed Sun.

Astrologer Martha Wescott [2]  has researched extensively on the use of asteroids and TNPs. She has shown conclusively that adding asteroids and TNPs to a chart brings precision to delineations. For our purposes here we list the solar arc progressions in the chart for Saudi Arabia.
