The chart shown here is the for the exact Sun square Saturn aspect on December 17, 2025, at approximately 08:31 UT (as shown: 08:31:17 EET-2:00, Sofia time). The Sun is at 25° Sagittarius 28', Saturn at 25° Pisces 29' (retrograde). .This alignment on the MC-IC axis in Sofia is striking in mundane astrology. The MC (Midheaven) represents the government, national leadership, authority figures, and public reputation of the state. A hard aspect like Sun square Saturn exactly culminating on the meridian suggests a peak moment of tension between leadership (Sun) and restriction, accountability, or structural limits (Saturn). Classically, Sun-Saturn squares in mundane charts often correlate with crises in government, falls of leaders, austerity measures facing resistance, or moments where authority is tested and found wanting—leading to resignations, collapses, or forced accountability.The resignation on December 11 came just days before this exact square (which perfects on the 16th/17th depending on timezone, but orbs extend influence). This fits well as the culmination of building pressure, with the square representing the "hard reality check" that forces a breakdown in the old structure.The combination was pre-triggered by: transiting Mars which entered Sagittarius on December 7 and rapidly approached the Sun's position. By December 9–11, Mars  (ruler of 5th house - younger generation) was within close conjunction orb to the transiting Sun (both in mid-Sagittarius), igniting action, confrontation, and public anger. Mars-Sun conjunctions energize the collective will, often sparking protests or bold challenges to authority—exactly the youthful, fiery Gen Z-led demonstrations against corruption and economic policies. This acted as the spark, with the impending Sun-Saturn square providing the inevitable cold-water restraint that toppled the government.

 

Regarding the fixed stars near 25° Sagittarius: The transiting Sun (and Mars) conjoined the cluster Aculeus (M6 Scorpii, around 25–26° Sag tropical) and Acumen (M7 Scorpii, around 28–29° Sag). These are part of the Sting of the Scorpion, traditionally described as bringing attacks, resilience in facing adversity, but also a willingness to confront entrenched power or endure hardship for a cause. Interpretations (e.g., from Robson, Ebertin, and modern sources like Brady) often link them to "endurance under attack," sharp criticism, or standing firm against "powers that be"—which resonates strongly with protesters directly challenging government corruption and injustice. Overall, this is a compelling mundane signature: Mars-Sun ignites the uprising, the Sun at a confrontational degree on sensitive fixed stars amplifies the "head-to-head" defiance against authority (Diana Rosenberg) , and the exact Sun-Saturn square on the meridian (in the capital) marks the moment the government could no longer withstand the pressure. It reflects a classic fall-of-power dynamic, driven by generational demands for change.
