The main thing to understand here is that astrology is not concretely
predictive, but archetypally predictive. That is, the birth chart and transits
indicate which universal principles are emphasized, in what combination, and
when. Richard Tarnas
With the
above mentioned quote in mind let us look at the major progressions and
transits in India Independence
Aug 15, 1947; 0 00 hrs, Delhi (b) Republic
chart 26 Jan 1950; 10: 15 am, Delhi Independence
The most important directions in the
Independence chart are (a) solar arc Sun [26li] in a forming square to radix
Moon [27cn] (b) solar arc Uranus square [0vi] forming a square to radix
Ascendant [0ge]
In a
mundane chart the Ascendant and the Moon
represent the public in general. A
solar arc Uranus square the Ascendant
means that the public is restless and may act in ways that are contrary to
expectations. With the solar arc Sun square to Moon, the public (Moon) is
reviewing its allegiance to authorities (the Sun). The masses having been
stewing and recognize that they need to
readjust their external situation. Alan Leo, in The Progressed Horoscope, considered the period of the square to be
very challenging and even "unfortunate". However, he wrote the
following: "Viewed from a higher standpoint this is a good vibration, as
it quickens the personality and calls out all its strength to battle with the
changing fate; for the changes, although apparently disastrous, are for
eventual good."
The April
15 lunar eclipse fell in hard aspect to the following entities in India ’s
Independence
Amycus [24ar32]; Hades [26ar40]; Moon
[27cn06]; Hybris [26li05]
MOON: the
masses or the public in general
HADES: debilitation or deterioration; the past or
history; mistakes
HYBRIS:
Expectation, glass-ceilings, limits-what one future-paces as their fate, their
slot in life-and what can be expected of others; conditioned limitations.
AMYCUS:
Possible change in one’s long held or fixed point of view when new data or
insights are integrated that improve the current position.
Hades/Hybris - Amycus
People will...expect to make mistakes...be sure that
something bad is happening...feel
constrained by the past...or feel limited by their own glass ceilings (or by the ones others have
convinced them exist.) You'll also see
that people "don't have high expectations" (of others, of situations, of outcomes,) and I guess the
real problem here is that a person's
expectations strongly dictate what happens... Please note: These expectations
CAN (and are apt to be) WRONG! The
presence of Amycus in the mix offers hope for a change in long held points of view!
Regular
readers will be aware that in April 2014 when India
The slowest
moving planet in this pattern, Pluto, is the hub of this process. Its presence
in hierarchical Capricorn is partially reflected in the increasing
concentration of wealth that enriches the few at the top at the expense of the
many in the middle and bottom economic rungs. It’s likely that social disorder
will occur if we continue in this direction. And it’s common to blame the government
and big corporations for this growing imbalance. Trust in institutions
(Capricorn) is breaking down. But the deeper meaning in all of this is the need to reassess our internal
institutions: the beliefs and behaviors that structure our lives instead of
blaming others. [2]
Uranus-Pluto
square, on the one hand, can bring attention to radical and self-destructive
patterns rippling through generations .
On the other, it can motivate
mind-expanding change in the very foundation of consciousness that
breaks us from very deep-seated and long-standing genetic, cultural and social
behavioral patterns.

P.S. A note for advanced
readers
Another
significant transit in the Independence Chart is Pluto [13cp] quincunx its radix position Pluto-Saturn [13le] on the IC [14cp]. Some keywords that describe
quincunxes are: redirecting, challenging, requiring adjustments or change. The
IC or the 4th house cusp in a mundane chart is the foundation or base of the society and
its traditions. It is a place which reflects the culture or the folk-soul of
the nation. In his excellent essay “The
Saturn-Pluto Synodic Cycles - A Historical Exploration 1851 – 2020” Nick Fiorenza describes the stellar backdrop of the August 1947 Pluto-Saturn synod that that
is relevant to the Indian Independence chart.
A
Saturn-Pluto synodic cycle, in general, will be about societal structures of
consciousness and how we learn about responsible use of power. It will be about
our administrative systems governing the use of power. These cycles can also
initiate a dismantling or destructive process of long-standing established
administrative constructs and systems of belief so that we can evolve our
societal structures. In the process, this can articulate as power struggles,
wars and the like; but Saturn and Pluto will ultimately demand we take
responsibility for the discord and destruction we have created.
Aug 22, 1947 - Saturn Pluto
Synod
Geocentric conjunction: 1
trigger - Aug 10, 1947
Location: 18° 49' Cancer
Primary stars: Acubens of
Cancer; Zeta Hydra, Dubhe of Ursa Major. This is also the exalted location in
the ecliptic for Pluto.
Synodic
Theme (abbreviated): A multifarious source of destruction: The Great Bear, Ursa
Major, lies north of the Lion, but also extends west over sidereal Cancer, and
slightly east of Leo, just into the cusp of sidereal Virgo. Ursa Major’s wide
variety of stars fall into the ecliptic throughout these two signs. The Stars
of the Great Bear are associated with the global scene and world powers. Dubhe,
Alpha Ursa, embodies the pursuit for a greater vision beyond the accepted
political-religious dogmas of the human world that keep humanity in darkness
and delusion; and against the controlling global forces perpetuating that
dogmatic rule. At a personal level, Dubhe asks us to do all we can to
achieve the greater vision that we hold for the unfoldment of our lives--for
the true nourishment, fulfillment, and freedom we seek. Dubhe asks us to emerge from the
collective and our own personal dogmas (our belief structures) and our limiting
life patterns that keep us bound in life scenarios that are less than those we
truly want. Dubhe supports us to strive for a new and better future rather than
merely staying reactive to the limitations we have already created and
reinforce with our existing beliefs.
Acubens,
Alpha Cancer, indicates entrapment in dogma. This can be the current political
/ religious beliefs of the times, as well as that created by our personal
belief structures--the ideas we have about our lives and experiences we have in
our lives. Acubens indicates a tenacious hold and stubborn resistance to
release the patterns we hold that keep us entrapped in our limiting life
scenarios.
Zeta
Hydra lies immediately south of Acubens. Delta through Zeta Hydra and Pulsar
CP0834 (which conjoins Gianfar of Draco, the poisoned place) create Hydra's
head. Zeta Hydra and surrounding stars indicate a multifarious undermining
source of destruction (every time Hercules took off one the Hydra's heads, it
immediately grew another). The conjunction of Acubens and Zeta Hydra reveals
that the repetitive undermining experiences in our lives are manifest from our
own tenacious belief structures.
Associated
Quasar 3C206 of Hydra, one of the brightest & closest quasars, suggest that
although our dogmatic beliefs can take rather strange and unexplainable forms,
they are not outside the realm of our own creation. They are however laser-like
in their power. Quasar 3C206 reminds us to not be naïve to the powerful
momentum of our beliefs and the undermining behavioral patterns they can
create. This quasar tells us to not turn our backs on that momentum, to know it
may take more than one attempt to overcome our dogma's hideous tenacity.
These
three conjoining stars reveal that any experiences that repetitively undermine
our greater fulfillment are due to the very dogmatic beliefs we hold
crystallized within. They reveal that we must eradicate those beliefs along
with the willingness to fight to achieve a greater vision for the evolutionary
freedom and fulfillment we seek. Ultimately, any perpetuated undermining
experiences occurring at a global level or in our personal lives serve to
catalyze a breakthrough in human conscious, specifically to emerge from
blinding following mass dogma that keeps us bound in human darkness and
delusion. This area of
the zodiak between the Scarab (or Crab) and head of Lion is where we find the
free-thinkers willing to step from mass darkness and delusion, those willing to
break the bounds of mass consensus and strive for a greater vision of cultural
freedom
