Tun
Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad born 10 July
1925 is a Malaysian politician currently serving as the Prime Minister of
Malaysia for the second time. Mahathir is now the oldest currently serving
state leader in the world (Age: 92 years, 347 days), with Queen Elizabeth II
(92 years, 62 days) being second. He is also the 10th oldest ever serving state
leader in the world. Mahathir
has been a highly controversial figure, and a subject of harsh attacks by his
critics. Former de facto Law Minister Zaid Ibrahim writes in his memoirs:
"In my heart, I cannot accept allegations that Dr Mahathir personally was
a corrupt man. Corrupt people are never brave enough to speak as loudly as Dr
Mahathir. Wealth is not a major motivation for him. He only craves power".
Rising
living standards, together with Dr. Mahathir's showpiece buildings and
outspoken defence of Malaysia's interests, contributed to a sense of national
identity, pride and confidence that had not existed before. He put Malaysia on
the map, and most Malaysians were pleased about it.
In this post we will look at the noon chart for Dr. Mahathir
bin Mohamad. Notice that the most prominent configuration in his chart – Sun-Pluto
opposite Jupiter is highlighted for at least three important reasons (a) his
progressed Sun [17li] squares this axis (b) he is going through his Pluto half
cycle that regenergizes his radix Jupiter-Pluto (c) the upcoming solar eclipse
of July 13 – close to his birthday activates the same axis.
Jupiter represents faith as well as the reward hoped
for. Jupiter is the capacity to see (and
believe in) the big picture. Pluto deepens and empowers what it touches to the
nth degree. When Pluto forms a dynamic
aspect (conjunction, square or opposition) with Jupiter, beliefs become
powerful and dreams larger than life. Most people with Jupiter Pluto aspects
are ambitious and determined to make it big.
Jupiter moves the
mind toward positive, uplifting expression – except when you’re caught up in
ego struggles (in which case, a king-complex might emerge.) Pluto can amplify Jupiter’s positive outlook
so that you develop a powerful optimism that says ‘no problem is insurmountable.’
The eclipse and Dr. Mahathir’s Sun are placed in the Indian
lunar Mansion Punarvasu - “Return of the Light ” or the return of good times.
So it is no surprise that Dr. Mahathir is returning for a second term!
