Astrology of Pakistan's crisis


Pakistan's Supreme Court has ordered the arrest of Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf over corruption allegations. Mr Ashraf denies accepting bribes when he approved power generation projects as minister for water and power in 2010. The court ordered the arrest of 15 other people over the allegations. BBC





Mundane astrology , the most ancient branch of astrology , is the study of the affairs of a nation  judged from a horoscope set up at the time of its official inauguration, the birth chart of its leader, and various phenomena such as eclipses etc. The modern state of Pakistan was established on 14 August 1947, 9:30am, Karachi, gaining independence from the British together with India. [1] The analysis of the annual solar return chart is considered an important tool for understanding the fate of a nation for that year. Shown here is Pakistan’s solar return chart for 2012. Notice the Venus-Pluto-Uranus T-square (along with TNPs Hades-Kronos) positioned on the horizon axis.

In a previous post I had mentioned  that this combination means:

A rebellion (Uranus) is brewing. Leaders  are under pressure (Kronos-Pluto) for misappropriation (Pluto-Hades) of funds (Venus)[2].

Since all these form an aspect to Pakistan’s radix Sun this combination  acquires even more importance. The Sun in  mundane astrology represents people in authority like the prime minister.

The next question that comes  to mind is when would this pressure be felt. This can happen (a) when there are transits over the relevant points (b) when by progression of the solar return chart the angles once again align with any planet in the combination setting off the meaning of the combination.




On 15th Jan 2013 both these conditions are satisfied (a) Venus is transiting conjunct Pluto and opposite its own  solar return position (b) the progressed  solar return brings Sun to the midheaven triggering the entire combination!
