Astrology of the Maoist attack in Chattisgarh

Maoists ambushed a security patrol killing 16 people including 11 of the CRPF in a daring daytime attack in the worst-hit Sukma district of Chhattisgarh, India. The attack took place on March 11, 2014 at 10 15 am close to  Dantewara.

Shown above is the current solar return chart  for the Republic of India [26 Jan 1950; 10:15 IST,Delhi]. Notice the Uranus-Pluto square on the angles. Every time we look at the Uranus-Pluto square we need to remind ourselves of the French Revolution which took place under a Uranus-Pluto opposition. This combination contains potential for revolutionary action that can overthrow existing governments. Bill Herbst describes the action of these two planets as follows:

Uranus-Pluto square

In collective terms, Uranus’ symbolism implies awakening into awareness by  being jolted out of habitual, conditioned, or otherwise automatic modes of  behavior or judgment. This is achieved through sudden shocks and unexpected, revolutionary challenges that hit humanity like lightning bolts. We cannot know from Uranian symbolism alone whether that sudden awareness will take the form of mature consciousness that becomes permanent or merely a willful shift into the temporary revolutionary fervor of “out with the old, and in with anything different.” The latter is more common, the former more rare, but both are possible, and either may lead to the other.

Pluto’s symbolism is best explained through either natural or psychological correspondences. The release of inconceivable energy in nuclear fission is one example. Whether that fission takes the destructive form of a weapon (nuclear bombs) or the seemingly benign form of an energy source (nuclear reactors), the specter of invisible toxic radioactivity is ever-present. Pluto is a dangerous arena where even angels fear to tread. Volcanic eruptions are another example, caused by the pressure of invisible magma pushing up from within the earth’s molten core and eventually exploding through fissures between tectonic plates. The paradox of volcanic eruptions is that they destroy and create — life-sustaining environments can be devastated by an eruption, both locally and, in extreme cases, globally, but this process is how new land is created that will eventually support renewed life. As an astrological symbol in the collective, Pluto is associated with the revelation (eruption) of immensely powerful forces previously hidden from view that signal “death and rebirth,” or profound endings followed by new beginnings. Pluto takes no prisoners and says, “We have reached the end. Enough is enough. Everything must now be revealed.”

Combining these two outer-planet symbols (i.e., transpersonal wild-cards) through their shared cycle implies a long-term, evolutionary process of sporadic shocks and unexpected challenges arising from the seemingly sudden welling-up of primal forces that are always present, but which we ordinary don’t see or experience directly, and which then foment a revolutionary leap away from a collapsing status quo.

In the T-square Uranus-Pluto-Jupiter-Kronos-Hades, Saturn [22sc] forms a sesquisquare aspect to apex Uranus [9ar]. Progressing the solar return by the quotidian method to 11 March, the date of the attack,  brings the Ascendant [22s] to a conjunction with Saturn triggering the entire configuration involving Uranus-Pluto. So do the leaders who today are paying lip-service “homage” to the martyrs understand what is required to “appease” Uranus-Pluto or will they be plowed under as the nobility in France during the Revolution?

P.S.

Here is a quiz for my readers. On the day results of the General Elections are scheduled to be declared, [16 May 2014] India's progressed Solar Return chart has the MC triggering the  Uranus-Pluto  square  through a quincunx as shown below. What can we expect?
