Current transits in Turkish President Erdogan’s chart





Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been shooting from the lip over the past week since the fatal shooting down of a Russian fighter jet. He truculently denied accusations of supporting terrorism, challenging Russia to prove it. The oil smuggling operation has been going for at least two years since the so-called Islamic State (IS) terror group took over the oilfields in eastern Syria near the city of Deir Ezzor. The illicit trade is reckoned to have been earning the jihadists up to $3 million a day to help fund their war against the Syrian government of President Assad. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article43607.htm




 The horoscope of the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan  (26 February 1954 at 04:25 AM  EET Istanbul) is  based on the data provided at Astrodatabank. The most relevant configuration for our present analysis is the T-square with Sun at the apex squaring Moon-Mars-Jupiter.

For Mars-Jupiter Ebertin writes “rebelliousness; an inclination to exaggerate, hastiness and also immoderation”.

Notice that the current Saturn-Neptune aligns with the T with Saturn conjunct  Mars and Neptune conjunct the Sun. In previous posts we have written extensively about how one manifestation of the Saturn-Neptune square is a Saturn reality check on Neptunian deceptions. This is exactly what is happening to Erdogan. His lies are being exposed. Additionally, Neptune rules oil so that this exposure deals with illegal oil trafficking.


As Saturn transits over Mars there are alternating experiences and expressions of limitation and/or frustration followed by angry episodes of havoc and/or chaos. It is not good for forcing any issues and one needs to watch one’s aggression. Patient Saturn requires that one work on  dealing with problems instead of ignoring them. 

In addition also note that Pluto is moving over the Ascendant (which the current Mars transit is activating). Steven Forrest refers to Pluto’s transit over the Ascendant as a season of unmasking.  A false note or an old lie in the external presented self  begins to unravel. Isn't this exactly what is happening to Erdogan.
