Full Moon and the Brazil riots

 



Thousands of protesters have ransacked Brazil's Congress, presidential palace, and Supreme Court in Brasília. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was on an official state trip to Sao Paulo and Congress was on recess, leaving government buildings largely empty. Supporters of former president Jair Bolsonaro refuse to accept that he lost October's election and have been calling for military intervention and the resignation of Lula. https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-latin-america-64209957

 

National horoscopes are a treasure house of information. As in the chart of an individual, predictive tools such as progressions and transits can be applied to national charts to identify periods when radix elements are activated and manifest as events. Reproduced here is the national chart of modern Brazil as provided by Astrodienst [1].

 


The most important current progression in this chart is: “Solar arc progressed Sun [17sc] square radix Moon [17le]”.

 

In mundane astrology the signification of the Sun and Moon are as below [2]. 

SUN : The Sun is the indicator of government, authority of the state.

MOON: The Moon is an indicator of masses or the public in general. 

A square aspect between the two implies a crisis between the government and the people. Since the Moon is square the Cupido/Pluto combination...this too has been set off by the progressed Sun and transiting Uranus. 

Cupido/Pluto

Awareness of: upheavals, power dynamics, control issues in groups. You may also see events or interactions that cause or bring: questions about "who's in charge" within a group setting. 

Uranus/Pluto

You will also see shifting power dynamics & power struggles in groups. And let me make this comment: things that seem to happen suddenly aren't really sudden; they've been brewin' and stewin' a while... But it sure can seem as though ALL OF A SUDDEN, ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE (or, in practically an instant, things are changed irrevocably.)

 


Finally take a look at the chart for the Full Moon of Jan.6 at Brasilia. The Sun/Moon opposition is of course once again about a clash between the government and the masses...more so because the Cancer/Capricorn axis means much the same thing. Cancer being Moon ruled is the masses and Capricorn ruled by Saturn is the government. But as always any entity brought to angles has a powerful effect. Here Uranus (the planet of revolutions) is on the MC. Going further we notice that the Sabian symbol for the rising degree is: 

Leo 8 (7° - 8°): A Bolshevik propagandist 

In the social context this appears as unrest, movements that challenge authority and the status quo. Whether Bolshevik or hippie, violent protests occur and Order is shaken vigorously.
