Back in the 1980s, one of my very favorite cartoonists, Tom Toles (then at the Buffalo News<\/em>) drew a map of the “Muddle East.” It had countries like Irant and Irave. Toles must have been looking at the astrological chart for Egypt when he gave it the name Edgy.<\/p>\n

It’s the perfect description for this chart, with the very last degree of Aries rising, and two centaur planets in the house of government. Chiron in particular is pressed right against the 10th house cusp — in Capricorn, the sign of antiquity. I can hardly imagine a more fitting image for the modern government of a country that can rightly trace its roots back more than 5,000 years. Even when Egypt was ruled by other empires, it was reasonably autonomous. I believe that the Great Sphinx is the oldest architectural artifact on Earth, with its age greatly underestimated by most archeologists.<\/p>\n

Chiron retrograde on the 10th house looks like a claim to the past, and it’s constantly being confronted by tests. The presence of Anwar Sadat, the venerated leader who was assassinated in 1981, stands as a haunting presence inside that Chiron in Capricorn, so intimate with the affairs of state — the fallen emperor.<\/p>\n

Pholus in Aquarius is close by, directly on the North Node. This has the feeling of wild populism that was bound to burst out sooner or later — we are seeing it now. Pholus, of course, represents the uncontainable force, and in Aquarius, that’s about the people of the country. It is more than interesting that when the government tried to cut off the power to the citizens, it went for cellular phones and the Internet first — both of which are Aquarian in nature — but that Pholus only came out more powerfully. <\/p>\n

Take a look at the Sun at 27+ Gemini. The Sun is a representative of the leader of a nation (there will be several such symbols in the chart for a country) though for Egypt the Sun is particularly poignant. It is now being squared by Uranus — the same aspect that took down Richard Nixon. And it is being trined by Chiron and Neptune, suggesting that there is a way to healing if people are interested in finding it. There always is, really, but the interest level is the variable. It’s easy to make nose and it’s difficult to run a country.<\/p>\n

As for the role of the military: that is a 6trh house matter, and Virgo is on the 6th cusp. The Moon is right there, conjunct its own osculataing apogee (Black Moon Lilith). The Moon’s presence speaks of the reputed closeness between the Army and the people (represented by the Moon) though the relationship is not stable. There is something two-faced here. Virgo’s ruler is Mercury, and this we find in Cancer (again, a reference to the people) and square Neptune and Saturn. Mercury is making a lot of aspects, and notably it is in mutual reception to the Moon — they occupy one another’s signs and are in aspect. It’s almost as if the military plays any role that is convenient at the moment.<\/p>\n

For now the situation is entirely up for grabs, however, with a powerful New Moon on Wednesday, there is almost certainly going to be some enormous turn of events right around that time. The New Moon is up in the 11th house — it looks like the populist view will prevail, for now. With Jupiter coming up on Eris, we shall see if yet another Muslim theocracy is not born out of the chaos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
