On Sunday, it was reported that Israelian troops had occupied Fort Beaufort, an old very strategically located crusader’s castle. Not only militarily, but also symbolically a big step, Israel has begun to expel the Arab population from all of southern Lebanon with heavy violence, forcing people to leave their homes.It will not be long before the first settlements with heavily armed settlers appear, but Lebanon, which is already so weakened, can do little against the actions of the Jewish state and is close to total collapse. So there must be some heavy stuff to be seen in Lebanon’s chart.
De Jure
The mundane chart of Lebanon that works well is that of the official legal independence of January 1, 1944 at the beginning of the day (00:00). It does feel a bit artificial such a “de jure” chart, but it works, for example, the disastrous explosion in the port of Beirut in August 2020 is clearly visible in it. The Firdaria, the time phases of several years ruled by a planet, also seem to be very effective with that chart. Lebanon’s reasonably prosperous period with Beirut as the elegant “Paris of the Middle East” ended brutally at the beginning of the Mars-Firdar in 1975 when the civil war broke out. The red planet of violence is in the Lebanese radix in House 8 of death conjunct the painfully restrictive Uranus and on Prima Hyadum, one of the stars from the so notorious crisis zone.
Saturn
The current progressions also show the problems well. The primary Ascendant of the mundane radix is in opposition to the progressed Saturn on Capella, the main star of the Chariot, also connected to technical ingenuity (of Israel). Normally you would not count the position of the progressed Saturn on a star, because it moves too slowly, but when a slow position is activated by a faster factor, as here by the Ascendant, you can. The progressed Sun has also come into opposition to the chaotic Neptune, Neptune is not this pleasant mystical seer of the modern astrologers but more often causes massacres and mass slaughter.
Quick factors
These two slow progressions have not yet become full, the end of the crisis is not yet in sight. The rapid progression of the Moon, the Pars Fortunae and the Pars Solis make the picture more precise, they move one degree per month. The progressed Moon has just passed over the natal Moon, always an important moment, the natal Moon is on the very powerful Achernar associated with the rudderless Solar Chariot crashing and burning the land. The progressive PF is in opposition to the painfully limiting Uranus and to the radix-Mars while the PS is in opposition to radix-Saturn via antiscion!
