Eclipse ends Evo Morales’ term as President



Evo Morales was and remain’s Bolivia’s first indigenous president since elected in December 2005, taking office in January 2006. In October, he was reelected for the third time, defeating challengers Carlos Mesa and Chi Hyun Chung, his popular support topping theirs combined. His victory margin over lead challenger Mesa exceeded 10% to avoid a runoff. James Petras earlier explained that no president in Bolivian history “secured consecutive electoral victories (now four), and ruled democratically for such an extended period of time…with political stability” as Morales. https://www.globalresearch.ca/us-coup-plot-oust-bolivia-evo-morales/5694446




Eclipses tend to bring about endings and new beginnings. The influence of an eclipse is strongly felt if it aligns with the horizon or meridian. A chart for the July 16, 2019 lunar eclipse at Sucre, Bolivia has it aligned with the horizon and opposite Saturn-Pluto.

Mars’ square to the ongoing Saturn-Pluto conjunction is the big news this past week.  Mars is the planet of war and when it faces off with Saturn, the planet of boundaries, or with Pluto, the planet of power, it is  likely to heat up the atmosphere and cause intense conflicts. Saturn-Pluto alignments are associated with power struggles  that lead to  crisis and conflict, empowerment of reactionary forces and totalitarian impulses, organized violence and oppression, all sometimes marked by lasting traumatic effects.

It is a scary transit at times and it can be a portend of danger. It can lead to outbursts or violent anger and  can also represent the moment in which a situation reaches its culmination, exploding, and giving rise to some new circumstance. There is always a danger of becoming a victim of another person’s aggression. 

Yesterday (Nov.10) as Morales announced his resignation transit Mars [24li] moved to form a T-square with the eclipse axis thereby triggering it and bringing an end to a long innings as President.
