French Colonial Africa
France is planning “neocolonial coups” across Africa in an attempt to destabilize governments it deems “undesirable,” particularly in the Sahel, where it has suffered major losses in recent years, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has alleged.
Paris has lost its foothold in several former colonies amid a wave of anti-French sentiment driven by allegations of aggression, military failures, and interference. Burkina Faso, Mali,
and Niger have all severed ties with France, expelling French troops and accusing the former colonial power of supporting armed groups fueling a deadly jihadist insurgency in the Sahel. France has said it will not recognize
the legitimacy of the military governments in the three West African countries and vowed to support efforts to restore civilian authorities that were overthrown.

Astrologers consider the progressions of the Sun and Moon as significantly more important compared those of planets. Here is a table from Solar Fire which gives France’s directed solar arc Moon’s aspects to elements of Burkina Faso’s horoscope (progressed synastry)

Martha Wescott defines the elements as below:
Toro — raw power, brutality, might, intimidation, bullying, "might makes right."
Vulcanus — immense strength, force, power amplification, unstoppable energy (often "super-strength").
Apollon — expansion, success, commerce, multiplicity, globalization, "big picture" growth.
Jupiter — expansion, success, authority, benevolence (but can be overreach).
In her work (e.g., books like Mechanics of the Future: Asteroids, Angles and Prediction, The Orders of Light, and Architects of Time), Martha Wescott stresses that astrological contacts—especially slower-moving ones like solar arc directions or midpoint activations—manifest as gradual themes, life phases, or evolving dynamics rather than isolated "on/off" events tied to a single precise date.
There are many ways these elements can interact. Here is one scenario that is clearly visible here.
[Toro-Vulcanus]-[Apollon-Jupiter]
“Be on the look-out for situations in which it is strongly implied that a person MUST do certain things---as though there were a form of intimidation or some concern about abuse.
And this may be when a person wishes to expand and become successful.
I think you'll be aware of both instances where one HAS TO "be strong" (physically, emotionally) and instances where you realize that "strength" (on any level)
can invite a "contest" or competitive interaction”. (Martha Wescott)
Applied to the France-Burkina Faso dynamic :The Toro-Vulcanus (brute force, intimidation, enforced strength) activating Apollon-Jupiter (expansion, success drives, big-picture opportunities) via directed Moon isn't a "single event". Instead, it's an unfolding process over several years: France's national "emotional/security" sphere (Moon) increasingly encounters themes of coercive power plays or "must comply" pressures in relation to Burkina Faso's growth/autonomy ambitions (Apollon-Jupiter emphasis).
This could manifest as escalating diplomatic tensions, perceived threats of interference, competitive assertions of influence, or Burkina Faso resisting what feels like bullying—mirroring real-world Sahel developments (e.g., AES alliances, anti-French rhetoric, security pacts shifting away from Paris).
This method makes the astrology more holistic and observational—letting the chart "tell its story" through interconnected symbols within the orb window, rather than forcing tight timings. It's particularly useful in the kind of directed synastry the Solar Fire report highlights, where the France Moon's solar arc path sweeps through a 10°-ish zone activating Burkina Faso's points over years.If we apply this here (as of February 6, 2026), the unfolding "conversation" in the Toro-Vulcanus Apollon-Jupiter area might currently be building or active in phases—manifesting as ongoing geopolitical "strength vs. expansion" tensions (e.g., France's perceived need to reassert influence meeting Burkina Faso's push for sovereignty and alliances). The exact peaks in the report (2026–2027) are intensification points within a longer dialogue.
Contributing to the evolving astro-picture is the annular solar eclipse on February 17, 2026, at 28° Aquarius (New Moon/Solar eclipse). It carries potent mundane symbolism, especially when cast at the midpoint between Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso (12°22'N, 1°31'W) and Paris, France (48°52'N, 2°20'E). This midpoint location places the eclipse chart's Midheaven (MC) or meridian very close to the eclipse degree itself . In mundane astrology, an eclipse on or near the angles (especially MC/IC axis) amplifies visibility, public impact, and authority themes for the nations involved. It acts as a high-profile "spotlight" on national identity, leadership, status, and relational dynamics between the two entities.
Recalling the core eclipse configuration: Eclipse at 28° Aquarius conjunct Lempo (perversion/ distortion of energies, discernment of "good" vs. "bad" flows) and Alicanto (ethical pursuit of "true gold"/treasures, karmic justice for greed vs. purity).
Tight square to Uranus (at ~27° Taurus, stationing direct ~February 3, 2026, at 27°27' Taurus — final station before leaving Taurus later in 2026). This creates a dynamic T-square tension: Aquarius eclipse (collective innovation, liberation, anti-authoritarian shifts) vs. Taurus stellium (stubborn material/values/resources transformation, sudden shocks to security/wealth/earthly stability).
In the France–Burkina Faso synastry/context (building on prior solar arc Moon contacts, Toro-Vulcanus to Apollon-Jupiter midpoint themes of coercive strength vs. expansive success, this eclipse evolves the unfolding process as follows:
Short-Term Evolution (February–Mid-2026 Peak): The eclipse acts as a catalyst/intensification point in the longer "dialogue" of power imbalances, resource pursuits, and sovereignty clashes. Aquarius energy emphasizes collective/humanitarian ideals (e.g., pan-Africanism, anti-neocolonial alliances like the AES — Alliance of Sahel States) clashing with Taurus-grounded material stakes (uranium/gold/minerals in Burkina Faso, French economic/security interests, perceived "treasure" grabs).
Uranus station direct (Feb 3) + eclipse square: Sudden "awakenings" or exposures around distorted pursuits (Lempo: selfish/perverted grabs) vs. ethical ones (Alicanto: pure intent rewarded with true abundance). In geopolitical terms, this could manifest as sharpened revelations or shocks — e.g., accusations of interference (France backing destabilization/ terrorist proxies or coup attempts in Burkina Faso, as per Russian SVR claims in early February 2026), or Burkina Faso's leadership (Ibrahim Traoré) asserting radical independence breakthroughs.
Meridian placement: Heightens public/national visibility — any developments feel "on stage" for both nations' identities. For France: Potential embarrassment or forced reassessment of African policy (shifting to "new models" amid losses in Sahel). For Burkina Faso: Empowerment moment for sovereignty narrative, but with risks of disruptive shocks if resistance hardens.
Medium-Term Unfolding (2026–2028, Process-Oriented View): Following Wescott's emphasis on unfolding processes over exact dates (with 10° orbs allowing asteroid/TNP "talk"):The eclipse seeds a metamorphosis phase in bilateral ties: Old colonial/resource paradigms (Taurus distortions) dissolve under Aquarius liberation pressures, but only through discernment — release greed/illusion (Lempo) for ethical realignment (Alicanto).
Toro-Vulcanus (brute force/intimidation) "talking" to Apollon-Jupiter (expansion/success drives) gets amplified: France may face situations where "must be strong" (reassert influence, counter Russian/AES gains) invites contests/resistance. Burkina Faso experiences this as coercive pressure but channels Uranus shocks into breakthroughs (e.g., deeper Russia/China ties, AES unified force against threats).
Karmic/resource themes: Spotlights ethical vs. distorted "pursuits of treasure" — Burkina Faso's nationalization/resource control vs. perceived French neocolonial revenge (coup accusations, terrorist support claims). Purity of intent (sovereign alliances) could yield "true gold" (stability, abundance); distortion (external meddling) invites misfortune/shocks.
Broader Sahel context: Eclipse partial visibility over southern Africa (not directly over Burkina Faso/France, but symbolically relevant) + Aquarius focus on networks/groups suggests ripple effects — AES deepening (Mali/Niger/Burkina Faso joint actions), US re-engagement attempts (shifting from France), Russian influence expansion.
As of early February 2026, tensions (coup claims, Russian accusations, US outreach to AES) already echo the themes, with the eclipse likely marking a visible escalation or turning point in the process.
