China to end its decades-long one-child policy




All couples will now be allowed to have two children, the state-run news agency said, citing a statement from the Communist Party. The controversial policy was introduced nationally in 1979, to reduce the country's birth rate and slow the population growth rate. However, concerns at China's ageing population led to pressure for change. The one-child policy is estimated to have prevented about 400 million births since it began. Couples who violated the policy faced a variety of punishments, from fines and the loss of employment to forced abortions. Over time, the policy was relaxed in some provinces, as demographers and sociologists raised concerns about rising social costs and falling worker numbers. The Communist Party began formally relaxing national rules two years ago, allowing couples in which at least one of the pair is an only child to have a second child. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-34665539









The cardinal ingresses of the Sun have a traditional reputation as  important mundane events.  Among these the Capricorn ingress (Capsolar) is the “master chart” of the year.  The chart for the current Capricorn Ingress drawn for Beijing is shown here. Notice that a powerful Grand Cross straddles the meridian axis.  The five planets along with the TNP Cupido in the first house form a stellium that becomes one of the legs of the Grand Cross opposite the TNPs Kronos-Hades. Using key phrases provided by Martha Wescott  and Ebertin we have following interpretations:

Cupido-Kronos: Laws and regulations that apply to families
Hades-Kronos: Mistakes have been made in connection with laws or authoritative action; laws that  have caused a decline or just made things worse or are  felt as demeaning or humiliating.
Uranus-Pluto: Transformation; the collapse of an old order and the beginning of a new one.








One of the planets in the stellium is Venus isthe ruler of the 5th house, which in mundane astrology rules “children” [2] so that it is laws concerning children that are being transformed. If we now progress the Capricorn Ingress chart to October 29, the date of the news, we find that the progressed Ascendant conjoins Pluto, thereby triggering the Cross.
