CANBERRA,
Australia (AP) — Australia’s beleaguered prime minister has been ousted from
his position by an internal government challenge and the party’s former leader
has been elected to replace him. Prime Minister Tony Abbott lost a leadership
ballot by members of his conservative party on Monday following the second
challenge to his position this year. The change in leadership comes as the
2-year-old conservative coalition government struggles in opinion polls. http://time.com/4033194/australia-prime-minister-tony-abbott/?xid=homepage
Tony
Abbott’s horoscope is available at Astro-databank [1] and is shown above. The two most powerful current directions operating
in the chart are (a) Pluto transit opposite MC …about to go direct on Sept. 27.
(b) solar arc Saturn [11aq] completing a T-square with radix Sun-Node[11sc] –
Uranus [11le].
Pluto transit opposite MC: To be “called on the carpet” by life, authorities or career situations; to
have others test your authority, position, credibility or competence through
confrontation, “dirty tricks” or attempts to manipulate; to have intense
encounters that affect the reputation or future and to experience these as
final, irrevocable, relentless and threatening; to be aware of power plays[2].
And since
Pluto is also conjunct the IC, the crisis is coming from inside his own “family”
(party).
Directed Saturn square Sun-Node-Uranus:
Inability to integrate oneself into a group, provocative conduct; joint
resistance to a common opponent; quarrels and separations [3].
Finally, it
would be interesting to see the current developments in the light of Australia’s
Federation chart (Jan.1, 1901; 1:35 pm
AEST, Sydney) [4]. Here are the major directions currently operating in the
chart.

In a
mundane chart, Sun and Saturn stand for leaders. With Uranus and Pluto making
hard aspects to Sun-Saturn, we can see why there is a rebellion and a collapse.
Recall that Uranus-Pluto combinations are associated with rebellions and
collapses of existing orders (e.g. French revolution). In addition precession
corrected Pluto is transiting over radix Sun – another indication of power
struggle amongst leaders.
The solar
return chart and its daily progression often serves as a good “second” hand of
the cosmic clock. Here is the precession corrected return chart progressed to
Sept. 14. Notice the Sun-Uranus-Pluto combination triggered by the progressed
angles (Asc-MC).
