India’s chart and the upcoming October eclipse


Pegasus freeing Andromeda


In this post we analyze the  current progressions and transits in the chart for the Republic of India [26 Jan 1950; 10:15 am,Delhi] . The most important  progression is the solar arc Sun [9ar] opposite radix Mars [9li]. The now familiar  transiting Uranus [9ar] – Pluto [9cp] square activates the progression in a big way.

Uranus serves to break us from the conformity of the past, propelling us into entirely new realms of consciousness. Uranus, in mid-sidereal Pisces, at the time of the synodic square, conjoins Algenib and  Erakis, the Garnet Star of Cepheus. Close by is 14 Andromeda, the chained hand of the princess.  Here the chained woman is an apt  symbol for the troubled  Indian masses. Algenib, a star in wing of Pegasus, the flying horse stands for the need to lift ourselves up and out of an entrapping situation. 


Erakis, the  Garnet Star lies on the crown  of King Cepheus forming a triangle with Alderamin and Zeta Cepheus.  Alderamin represents King Cepheus  as an indifferent monarch who has allowed a deterioration in circumstances which has led to the entrapment of Andromeda. Quite opposite of this, Erakis  exemplifies the role or crown of the King—to govern without being lost in the drama of that which he may need to govern thereby  bringing order to previously chaotic areas. It imparts a significant astrological influence along with fortuitous Algenib, especially regarding financial affairs and opportunities.

This last point regarding financial affairs and opportunities is a key to the area of revolutionary change in human society that Uranus is now catalyzing. In fact from the ecliptical longitude of Algenib / Erakis through Revati of Pisces  is very much associated with financial wealth and its control and dissemination in the world. [1]

During this time, leading into the synodic square,  (Nov 2013) the Uranian stimulus is motivating humanity to change the human condition from being constantly thrashed around by the turbulent waters of existing techno-bureaucratic paradigm. [1]




The upcoming Full Moon lunar eclipse at Delhi places the solar progression [Sun opposite radix Mars] on the sensitive horizon axis with the T-square involving Kronos-Hades-Pluto-Uranus on the angles. The meaning of the elements of the T-square as given by Martha Wescott are reproduced below.

Kronos-Hades: to see disgust with government, with regulations or legislation or leadership; to see government or authorities indulge in “dirty business” or hidden activities.

Kronos-Pluto: to be aware that prominent persons are under substantial pressure; to see abuses of power through misuse of office, position, laws and procedures.

Uranus-Pluto-MC: Sudden pressures force a change of plan for the government

 The eclipse chart appears to confirm that a struggle is about to take place in which the masses will fight  against corruption in high places and successfully expose and bring down corrupt leaders.
