        Between 2008 and 2010, photographer Pawel Jaszczuk walked through Tokyo's empty streets at night, capturing something that looked absurd but revealed a deeper truth about work, success, and pressure. https://x.com/interesting_aIl/status/2034993998801105267     The most commonly used national horoscope (mundane chart) for Japan among astrologers in mundane/political astrology is the chart for the post-World War II constitution coming into effect (May 3, 1947; 0:00; Tokyo; Japan). This marks the modern democratic Japan's "rebirth" after defeat and occupation, as the country transitioned to its current constitutional framework.   Shown above is the horoscope of Japan from Solar Fire for this data. The Capricorn Ascendant at 26°32' in Japan's chart strongly aligns with the archetype of a nation whose national identity and outward presentation emphasize discipline, structure, ambition, and a pragmatic, results-oriented approach to life.In ...

              By March 19, 2026, the pattern is unmistakable. What began as a war centered on Israel, Iran, Lebanon, and the waters around the Strait of Hormuz has now spilled decisively into the infrastructure heart of the Gulf monarchies. The most firmly established Iranian strike on Gulf energy infrastructure so far is the missile attack on Qatar’s Ras Laffan industrial complex, the largest LNG hub on earth, carried out after Israel struck Iran’s South Pars gas field. https://www.rt.com/news/635540-israel-iran-chain-reaction/   The national horoscope (mundane astrology chart) for Qatar is commonly based on its independence from British protection and the formal establishment of the State of Qatar.This occurred on September 1, 1971; Time: 8:00 PM Local Time; Doha, Qatar. The Ascendant of Qatar’s chart is [2 Aries] which is close to where the current Saturn-Neptune conjunction is taking place.   Extract from The Great 2025–26 Sa...

        Saudi Arabia’s natal chart (23 Sep 1932, 06:00 UT, Riyadh; tropical, Placidus) shows Sun (≈29° Virgo to 0° Libra range, depending on exact rectification). The progressed Sun is currently activating a sequence involving Lachesis (fate, cutting the thread of a process, "in the middle of a sequence"), Moon (public emotion, the people, national mood), Makemake (leadership as protector/provider vs. manipulative old-paradigm politics; sorting worthy vs. unworthy leaders; environmental/societal abundance conditions), Siwa (interruptions from rage/anger, destructive cycles recognized, "time out" or reassessment), and Pandora (surprises once underway, "more to it than anticipated," sudden turns, new doors from crises, Eureka moments that redirect the train).   Martha Wescott’s orb-of-10° approach treats this as a unfolding process rather than pinpoint events. The progressed Sun moving through these points (roughly 2024–2027 window per the report, with ...

  Attached table from Solar Fire gives Iran’s directed draconic solar arc Sun’s aspects to elements of Israel’s chart (progressed synastry). Martha Wescott advises not to focus on an exact date but to try and see the process unfolding using an orb of about 10 degrees.   The primary aspect is Iran’s directed draconic solar arc Sun’s conjunction to Israel’s natal Neptune. The other elements are asteroids are “Siwa-Pandora-Atropos-Diana”   Martha Wescott provides the following interpretations.   Pandora/Siwa Crisis situations that involve Asia or the Middle East (and people from those areas) will occur, but I think there will be concern about upsets that catch people off-guard in connection with those countries too. As well, I think that expressions of anger will sometimes be "unexpected" or bring consequences for which one was unprepared.   Neptune/Siwa  Part of the PURPOSE of recent and current events and circumstances is to upend concepts...

    Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, has reportedly been secretly advising Donald Trump to continue striking Iran hard, despite Riyadh’s public calls for restraint, according to The New York Times. Officials cited in the report say the Saudi leader has privately encouraged stronger military pressure on Iran, while the kingdom publicly promotes de-escalation and diplomacy.   https://x.com/TodaysNewsco/status/2033445146965012732     In the horoscope of Saudi Arabia [23 Sep 1932; 12:01 LMT; Riyadh] the natal Sun is at [0li06]. The Solar Eclipse of 21 Sep 2025 [29vi05] (opposite Saturn [28pi27] - Neptune [0ar48]) fell within a degree of Saudi Sun. The eclipse was also conjunct the TNO KAGARA   About Kagara, astrologers write: “Trickster energy: Deception for survival or play; Represents "wearing a false face" to navigate obstacles, leading to exposure and flight. Risk of self-sabotage: Over-reliance on tricks leads to isolation”...

  The astrological configuration in the Sibly chart (USA's founding chart, often used for mundane/national interpretations) is highly charged right now, around March 15, 2026. The solar arc directed Sun at ~21° Pisces and directed Saturn at ~22° Gemini form a T-square with the radical Mars at 21° Gemini 22' and radical Neptune at 22° Virgo 25'. This is tightly activated by the transiting Sun moving through 21°-22° Pisces in recent days, illuminating and triggering the pattern. Radix Mars-Neptune square (7th house Mars in Gemini opposing/ squaring into 9th/10th house Neptune vibes) classically points to confusion, deception, illusions, or weakness in foreign affairs (9th), military/enemies/open conflict (7th Mars), idealism vs. reality in actions, or "fog of war" scenarios—dissolution of martial energy, misguided aggression, or hidden/ subversive enemies.   Directed Saturn adding to this brings a sobering, karmic reality check—limitations, consequences, authority...
