Japanese
PM Shinzo Abe has announced his resignation for health reasons. He said he did
not want his illness to get in the way of decision making, and apologised to
the Japanese people for failing to complete his term in office. The 65-year-old
has suffered for many years from ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel
disease, but he said his condition had worsened recently. Last year, he became
Japan's longest serving prime minister. His current period in office began in
2012. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-53943758
The mundane
horoscope of Japan as provided by Campion, in his "The Book of World Horoscopes" [1] is
reproduced here. There are two significant transits in this chart. First Uranus station retrograde on Aug. 15 right on
top of the radix Sun square radix Pluto. Among other things the Sun in a national
chart symbolizes the Prime Minister. For Ebertin Uranus-Pluto is “the process of transformation - the collapse
of the old order of things”. That
would definitely seem to apply to Japan's PM.
The second
significant transit is Saturn-Pluto conjoining the Ascendant with Mars now
coming up to square the two.
In a
previous post, I wrote:
Mars’ upcoming retrograde cycle
square to the ongoing Saturn-Pluto conjunction is the big news for the rest of
this year. Saturn–Pluto activated by the Mars transit
reflects a lesson about the right use of power, so the combination is also
associated with the karmic consequences of corruption and abuse of power.
Among the
several mundane phenomena that astrologers study, one of them are charts for
exact planetary aspects. Shown here is the chart for the exact Mars-Saturn
square that took place on Aug. 25. This is drawn for the co-ordinates of Tokyo.
Notice that Mars is placed on the MC – the point which rules the head of the
nation. And moreover it forms a T-square with Saturn-Pluto and the medical
asteroid Hygiea.
Once again
referencing Ebertin we have for Mars-Saturn: “Harmful or destructive energy, inhibited or destroyed vitality.”
But this is
where things get really interesting. Mars [26ar] is conjunct the star Al Pherg
about which Nick Fiorenza [2] writes:
Al Pherg, Eta Pisces (conjoining
Cas-A) Intestinal issues and ailments are not uncommon at the sidereal
Pisces-Aries cusp.
Is it at all
a surprise that the Japanese PM Shinzo
Abe announced his resignation for health reasons and that he suffers from
ulcerative colitis – a disease that affects the intestinal tract?!
