Greek election: Anti-austerity Syriza battles New Democracy




Greeks are voting in a general election which could result in Greece trying to renegotiate the terms of its bailout with international lenders. The leader of the left-wing Syriza party, Alexis Tsipras, has pledged to write off Greece's huge debt and revoke austerity measures. However, the current conservative prime minister, Antonis Samaras, says the austerity measures are working. He has urged voters not to take Greece to the brink of catastrophe. Greece has endured tough budget cuts in return for its bailout, negotiated with the European Union, International Monetary Fund (IMF) and European Central Bank (ECB).

To understand what is really at stake in this Greek election, I would like to go back to the chart for the current sidereal Cancer Ingress of July 17, 2014 and its progression to Jan.25.  Notice that the Sun is placed in the 8th house which is linked to “national debt and financial relations with foreign countries” [1]. The Sun forms a hard aspect to the Ascendant which is conjunct the star Antares about which Nick Fiorenza writes [2]:

In classical astrology, Antares is the star of war and weaponry, and with expounded meaning, to challenge the established opposing politics (an arena common to the Antares / Aldebaran axis) with tenacious adamancy. This is especially in regard to taking a stand against the established conditions of our personal lives and against the established order or authority directing our lives when those conditions or that authority are no longer in our best interest nor supporting our evolutionary freedom and fulfillment.

So we can already begin to see that in connection with the national debt, the chart supports action against the established order that no longer serves the interest of the people. A further confirmation comes from the Sun’s conjunction with the asteroid Amor and the TNP Vulkanus. Martha-Wescott gives us following keyphrases and delineation.

AMOR: can you/ should you set boundaries or limits on what happens in the name of love?
VULCANUS: feeling forced to associate; compulsion.


Amor-Vulkanus
Events and reflections are apt to show you that people really have to  have boundaries; they have to have an imaginary circle around themselves  that only lets certain things come through, that's only willing to have  certain things happen at its perimeter--and that remains in place even  in very pressing circumstances (and in the company of very forceful or  persuasive human beings.)


Just a day before the ingress there was a phenomena called Moon Wobble which I discussed extensively in a post [3] dated July 13, 2014. The following is a summary extract from that post.

On July 16 at 11:22:52 UT, the Sun [23cn52] was square the Mean Node [23li52]. This is a phenomena known as “Moon Wobble”. While it is exact on July 16, 2014 it may be felt for approximately a week on either side.

Moon Wobbles were discovered in the 1930's, when research by astrologer Carl Payne Tobey (1902-1980), the original editor of Astrology Magazine, revealed that disasters occur in cycles associated with the conjunction (0°), opposition (180°) and square (90°) from the Sun to the Moon's Node. These powerful contacts occur when the Sun and the Node are in the same sign, or the opposing sign, or when the Sun is in a square aspect to the nodal axis.

During Moon Wobble the instability factor is high, resulting in more accidents, fires, plane crashes, freak accidents, floods, feats of nature, bizarre weather patterns, earthquakes, tornadoes, violence, Terrorism, riots, and political and personal upheavals. These Cycles bring suppressed energies in people and Mother Nature to the surface, erupting and disrupting.

 Moon Wobbles are potent archetypal gifts to identify experiential and existential tension. If we have been working on ourselves then this is an opportunity for “spiritual release” from patterns of behaviour that we have now outgrown.






I guess there is enough here to tell us why the Greeks need a break from the EU. If we now progress the chart to Jan.25, the date of the elections, we find that the apex Sun of the Moon Wobble aligns with the horizon triggering a potential change.
