Astrology of the coup in Egypt

Mr Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected leader, is under house arrest after what he says was a military coup. The army said he had "failed to meet the demands of the people". The upheaval comes after days of mass rallies against Mr Morsi and the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood movement he comes from. Protesters accused them of pursuing an Islamist agenda and of failing to tackle Egypt's economic problems.

In mundane astrology great importance is given to the horoscope of a nation. For modern Egypt the commonly accepted chart is  based on the Proclamation of the Republic.

Egypt’s  radix Uranus [17cn26] placed in fourth house cusp [IC]. H.S. Green in his book  “Mundane or National Astrology” writes:

Uranus in Fourth House

This generally troubles the Government, putting many difficulties in their way either in Parliament or in the country. The Opposition may be stronger than usual and may score against the Government, or unpopularity with the people may tell against them in the country or contrary events may prove unfortunate for them. If afflicted (and it here afflicted by Saturn) trouble amongst the workers, discontent, strikes, ill-feeling between master and man or between the upper classes and the masses.
