Bootes ‘driving’ the Great Bear
This combination is excellent for
those who have to undergo hardship or danger.
The Martian influence is, as it were, tempered, and rendered more
adaptable, ordered and controlled, while the Saturnian is energized and made
more enterprising and courageous. Such
people have as a rule small regard for personal comfort or even safety, and may
be excellent explorers, rulers of savage tribes or organisers of men needing
firm control. It denotes orderly and courageous
action, endurance and sound practical abilities. It (also) tends to hardship, self-abnegation
and a disciplined life. [CEO Carter on Mars-Saturn]
Margaret
Thatcher has Saturn in Scorpio (the sign ruled by Mars) on her Ascendant while
Modi has Saturn conjunct the Sun and MC in a sextile aspect to Mars in Scorpio.
Thatcher has been called the Iron Lady while Narendra Modi, who hails from the
State of India’s Iron Man Sardar Patel, has often himself been referred to as
the Iron Man.
The
upcoming eclipse of 26 April straddles a Mars-Saturn opposition. Eclipses are known
to mark the end of a chapter in life and the beginning of a new one. All oppositions need to be referred back to
the conjunction of the planets since
that is the start of the cycle. The conjunction of Mars-Saturn at 24li49 on 15
August 2012 at 10:36 UT was on the Ascendant at London
and on the MC at Delhi
At Margaret
Thatcher’s death on April 8, the Ascendant progressed by the solar quotidian
method is at [23cn25] square the Mars-Saturn [24li49] conjunction. Just about a
week before, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) reinducted Gujarat Chief Minister
Narendra Modi into the party's Parliamentary Board on 31 March 13.[2] Modi's
selection is being seen as a major boost
to his prime ministerial ambitions. On that day the progressed Ascendant (PSSR)
at Delhi London and square to it at Delhi London
Finally, our
analysis would be incomplete without looking at the star Arcturus [24li24] to
which Mars-Saturn were conjunct. Alpha (α) Bootes, Arcturus, is a golden red
star situated on the left knee of the Herdsman, the 4th brightest in the sky.
The constellation Bootes is
represented by the figure of a herdsman, commonly said to be herding bears,
though some report him driving oxen. He has been variously known as 'the Bear
Keeper', 'the Wagoner', 'the Ploughman', the Shepherd' and 'the Driver (of the
Wain)', and is situated in the heavens near Ursa Major - the Great Bear whom he
is said to pursue around the Pole.
As the principle star of 'the
Driver' modern authors have recognised the symbolism of organisation: the
'behind the scenes' planner whose strong energies are capable of driving events
forward. Ebertin and Hoffman claim that
it makes the native "belligerent and quarrelsome" with an
"enterprising spirit". [3]

Note:
Natally
Thatcher has a radix Sun-Pluto square – a combination that we associate with a
powerful, pushy and obsessive personality. Thatcher’s converse solar arc Pluto
[20 ar] is now opposite her radix Sun
[20li] and Mercury [24li] also lord of the 8th house of death. If that can be considered the ‘hour hand’ of
the clock, the ‘minute hand’ is the opposition from the Mars-Saturn [24li] conjunction
of Aug 2012 discussed above and
finally the ‘second hand’ is the upcoming New Moon at 20ar and the Mars transit
at 20 Aries on 8 April.
