Astrology of the Middle East Revolts 2011


Revolt on the Nile

Last UPDATE for now - As you already know, Hosni Mubarak has finally stepped down on 11 February 2011 at 16:02 GMT (18h02m Egypt time). I was quite worried that the passage of Mars in Aquarius, plus all the other planets congregating in difficult places would cause much violence.

In fact, and although there were a few dead people and injured during the 18-day revolution, the Egyptian people showed great maturity and a blood bath was avoided. With hindsight - of course I would be right with hindsight - well, I think it was the mutual reception of the planets Mars and Uranus (in the helio chart) - traditionally considered as beneficial, that gave the final verdict: a peaceful revolution. I probably had underestimated the strength of this particular configuration.

That being said, the Nile Revolution is going to prove the first of the dominoes of the Arabian unrests. The planets are not getting any better in the next few months, so expect rather larger difficulties for other countries - which is what I already hinted at somewhere lower on this post.

As usual, I'll try and complete the articles, as and when I get time... There are a few more dual charts I'd like to post for Egypt, then I'll split the article so as to have a proper Tunisian backgrounder article with horoscopes.

Tonight, 15 February 2011, I hear that Bahrain, Yemen, Jordan and Algeria are experiencing the seeds of revolt as well. I'll get to these as soon as I can - but I do have a full time-table. So, again, be patient and come back.

OK, here below are relevant charts for the fall of Mubarak. Below them, a part-live blogging of the Egyptian Nile Revolt and some more relevant charts towards the middle/end of this post. There are also some more astrology charts of unusual interest, such as the Internet BlackOut Chart, on the other post about Egypt as well as some astrological analysis of other Egyptian charts..

.
Horoscopes of Mubarak's fall on 11 February 2011 at Cairo, at 18h02m (local time, GMT 16h02). Geocentric on the left, heliocentric on the right.

Note in the heliocentric chart that Uranus has just gone into Aries - within hours. This ingress is very important - it's likely going to be the drive to other revolutions in Arabia.

No-one could ever swear that the time of the downfall of Mubarak was chosen with the stars and astrology - even though Ancient Egypt had very sophisticated astronomers. Yet, look at the angles, which perfectly describe the situation: Neptune, Chiron and Sedna on the angles in the helio chart. The same ones plus the Moon and Fortuna conjunct on the MidHeaven. The Asc rising on the very last degrees of Leo, "the end of the reign". Sedna is corruption personified, Neptune is deception. These aptly describe the state of Egypt when Mubarak fell. The position of Neptune on the DSC is exact within 4 minutes of arc!

Mars was just approaching the Sun, showing the rise and takeover by the military, in Aquarius, in a peaceful manner. Uranus and Jupiter, opposing Juno, from the VIIIth to the IInd show illegal profits, selfish money and hidden money.



UPDATE - Live Blog - I'm now (21h00m GMT - 3 February 2011) having difficulties in obtaining some of Al Jazeera's website pages. Hopefully it's just a little glitch and Internet will be functional again soon. So I was right! The blog page was off for a while - no indication if it was on Al Jazeera's side or an Internet problem though.


Meantime, violent clashes continue, the live cameras show horrific scenes. The army is just not doing a decent job to either calm either side or separate them. Molotov cocktails are flying from roof tops, shots are heard above the heads of protesters.

Protesters are locked in Tahrir Square, they cannot get out.

Al Jazeera says that the situation is calmer, perhaps the calm before the storm. Other big towns are continuing demonstrations. There are no news about the seaside resorts at the moment.

I'm off now, but watch tonight and tomorrow afternoon very carefully, the horoscopes are not good. Cross fingers it does not end up in a blood bath!


UPDATE 3 February 2011

Christiane Amanpour has just interviewed Mubarak this evening - see her story here.

During the previous night (from 2 to 3 February), more shots were fired directly at the protesters. I don't have the exact time the slaughter started, but when I woke up in the dead of night, at 4h24m am (Egypt time), I heard the machine guns on the Al Jazeera live reports, with a journalist quoting that the gunning had started about an hour previously, so about 3h20m or thereabouts Egypt time (1h20m GMT).

As always, armies or attackers, follow the classical strategy of attacking during a New Moon, just when the skies are the darkest. 

Reports say that the first heavy gun fire started at about 00h45m am Egypt time (22h45m GMT), being shots  fired in the air.

I have heard or read reports on both French and English-speaking media that journalists are being chased brutally, arrested. French International Radio reports that one foreigner was beaten to death (identity not yet confirmed). American CNN lead anchor Anderson Cooper was injured by stones and his crew attacked (born 3 June 1967 at 15h46m, New York, United States). In the late afternoon, a Greek journalist was stabbed.

More prisoners have escaped from prison. Rumors say that this was deliberate and that they were sent to battle the anti-Mubarak protesters.

In the afternoon, the army has tried to separate the two groups, with little success.

Egypt's Health Ministry claims that 13 people were killed and 1'200 were injured in the previous night.

In the Lebanon, protesters clashed in front of the Egypt Embassy.

Vice-President Suleiman claims the chaos is provoked by unfriendly news media - same line as in Mubarak's speech the day before.



2 February 2011 - Although the first shots were fired in Alexandria the night before, clashes started to become severe on the afternoon of 2 February 2011 in Cairo, in Tahrir Square. Pro-Mubarak protesters attacked the anti-Mubarak ones charging with horses and camels (see Al Jazeera photographs) with people defending themselves with pavings or stones, in what could be aptly described as medieval scenes. Rumors were made that the attacks were engineered by the PTB to scare the unarmed anti-Mubarak protestors. The time of the entry of the horses and camels charge was at 12h59m GMT in Tahrir Square.

News media crews started being attacked. The number of dead, and it's difficult to ascertain due to the confusion in the field, was quoted as between 5 and 8, but the number of injured, according to most sources, numbered in the hundreds. Ambulances were prevented from picking up the casualties until late into the night. Attackers starting throwing Molotov cocktails from the upper floors of the buildings surrounding Tahrir Square.

Meanwhile during the day, the Internet was switched back on and the time when it started functioning again was 10h32m GMT, just shy of a day before my own prediction (see the other article):

If any luck, then the geo charts should kick in on 3 February with both Mercury and Venus changing signs, the first goes into Aquarius, the second in Capricorn
However, reports about Internet functioning say that it's not up and running well everywhere - which is to be expected in this chaos, despite the RIPE organisation showing acquired addresses in the same numbers as prior to the crisis.

1 February 2011 - Panic and clashes 22h15m GMT - It's in Alexandria

Clashes are beginning in Alexandria between the two groups, for and against Mubarak.

Another reporter says that there is no real violence, just a bit of over-excitement in Alexandria, nothing serious. (But I heard the shots myself in the background of the first reporter). He says misunderstandings and arguments.
FIRST SHOTS FIRED 22H21 GMT MACHINE GUN PANIC, next shots at 22h26 GMT, Alexandria

Al Jazeera says clashes erupt in Portsaid and Alexandria when the army departs (from the areas where demonstrators are) between pros and anti Mubaraks.

Well I've just heard more shots 22h48 and 22h49 GMT in the background of the reporter who says it's not serious. And some more shots at 22h49 (I don't have the seconds on this clock). That's in Alexandria.
Reporter in Cairo says clashes occurring also.

MUBARAK'S main points on tonight's speech (on 1 February 2011with times) are written below, scroll down. I'm off to bed now. Will continue this live blog tomorrow, morning or evening depending on the events happening in Egypt. For the moment, at the time of writing, 21h33 GMT, the crowds are angry, but not violent.

Mubarak will not step down. States he defended Egypt soil, he will die on Egypt soil. SEE DETAILS BELOW, I WROTE AS HE SPOKE.

Egyptians not happy, Tahrir square erupting in chanting "Leave, leave, leave"

STAY TUNED - this night is important

Astrological charts can be found on this post. It includes a chart for the Internet interruption by the Egyptian government. In the next few days, another article on the astrological transits of the 4 main people involved and of Egypt's horosscopes. Tonight Monday, there seems little happening more than the previous days. The government has stopped the railways to prevent people pouring into large towns and Cairo for tomorrow's call for a million demonstrators. The Americans have made an aerial lift to evacuate their citizens, other countries are doing so.

OK, this is Tuesday 1st February 2011, I'm on line and writing this blog live while listening to satellite TV. Follow online live coverage by Al Jazeera. UPDATE as of 21h36m Cairo time (19h36m GMT). It's been announced that Mubarak will talk on TV shortly. Waiting for this to give you the first news.

The call for protests today has drawn about 2 million people throughout the country. More than a million are in Tahrir Square, chanting and shouting. The demonstration is, for the moment, peaceful. Outside the square, along the Nile (or on the bridge), there are also many demonstrators in support of Mubarak. The army is keeping in between. The army is also controlling the access to Cairo centre, checking IDs and making sure no-one bears any kind of arms.

The Americans are sending in planes to evacuate non-essential personnel. The British are sending charters tomorrow. The Chinese also.

The Turkish government has sided with the demonstrators.

There are TV screens on Tahrir Square. On the announcement that he would give a message, the crowd started celebrating. Al Jazeera claims from diplomatic sources that Mubarak will announce that he will not claim another mandate again at the next elections.

It seems that the crowd will not be content until he leaves. The motto is "Victory or Martyrdom".

Iranian Government says it supports the protestors.

Members of the US government have met with opposition leader El Baradei.

I've been hearing from other sources that there are problems in Yemen now (to be confirmed)

Myanmar Military Government is now handing power to new parliament.

NY times says that Obama has told (ordered?) Mubarak not to run for the forthcoming elections next September...

From other sources, family members of Mubarak have already flown to Britain. Since Mubarak's mother is British, he holds dual citizenship and so his family, who can then fly to Britain quite anonymously...

People in Tahrir Square have the good will of the population, they have erected tents and receiving drinks and food from the population. They are prepared to sit it out. The crowds will not be happy unless Mubarak quits. Suez and Alexandria are also very determined. It looks like a grass root movement throughout the country.

People are saying that 25 January is the new birthday of Egypt.

Tahrir Square's name means "Liberty Square"

From Al Jazeera live blog:

- 10:00pm Reports of protests being held all over the world, with more being planned in the coming days. See Al Jazeera's meetups around the world here.

Near real time activity of the Internet networks in Egypt. Very interesting, as at 08h00m GMT on Sunday 30 January 2011, still no Internet activity. Go see the graphs and history below (it's too big to put in my article).


Do-it-yourself Internet connection when your governments shuts-it down: Article courtesy of PCWorld.



The astrology of the entry of Pluto in Capricorn and of Jupiter in Aries are signing the start of revolutions in North and West Africa. Uranus will soon join the flow of revolts in Aries and this should herald more unrest this year. Totalitarian governments should beware throughout the world. Horoscopes for countries which routinely deny basic human rights to food, work and opinions will be afflicted for the next few years. We are witnessing the start of another world, shifts in the world balance of power.

Keep refreshing your screen (F5) as I am adding to this article as events unfold.


This article documents live events and keeps changing by the minute. The astrology of the Egypt Revolution will have to come a little later as I keep busy bringing here, in one place, all the information I can find useful to the astrology community so you can start collating the data to draw up the horoscopes. Fascinating and beautiful pictures of the Egyptian Revolts here, and here.

President Mubarak made a speech on TV on Friday 28 January 2011: start of speech 22h17m GMT - end of speech at 22H29M GMT. He said that riots occurred because of political freedom and that there was a fine line between chaos and freedom. That he would use all his powers to keep society together.He announced that the government would resign and that another would be appointed on Saturday 29 January 2011. Which happened on the said date, with Messrs. Air Force Air Marshall Ahmed Shafik appointed as Prime Minister and Omar Suleiman appointed as the first Vice-President of Egypt in its history.

I have put two rss feeds on the post, so you can see the progress of events in Egypt. They are unfolding quickly. Whereas the Tunisian revolts were more or less calm and haven't as yet provoked too many dead or injured, Egypt looks like it might become a case of terrible violence if the government continues to harden its stance.

Friday 28 January 2011, the crowds were cheering the army, having defied the cover fire which had been decreed. The army was not firing on the people.

However, all international media had been interrupted, such as all Internet, Twitter, Facebook, land telephone lines as well as cell phones. This was the first time that there is such a total block on communications in a country. How they did it, article from Scientific American.

Prices for oil went sky high during the night because of fears on the stock markets. The Dow Jones has registered its largest drop since last November 2010. French TV mentions that if Egypt continues to have trouble, Europe may have problems in getting the oil it needs. A number of companies which use the Suez Canal extensively are likely to encounter financial problems if the riots continue.

Saturday 29 January 2011, on the appointment of the new government, the crowds are not happy and are defying the curfew. It has been reported that the Army, after requesting people to respect the extended curfew from 4 pm to 8 am, has started firing at crowds. It looks like, from witnesses reports, it's really the police which has fired. The ruling party HQs in Luxor and Aswan have been torched in flames. Israelis flee Egypt on emergency flight.

Saturday night 29 January 2011, rumors are very worrying. Looters, police stations attacked. Contradictory information. Complete breakdown of law and order. Ordinary citizens patrolling also to protect from vandalism and looters. Witness reports to be verified, water cut off in one district, civil patrols shot looters. But army does not seem to react. Airport is blocked (no details). Witnesses say that the police force has fled, leaving only the army and ordinary citizens. Chaos is now happening if no leader comes forward. It does look like the Army seems unwilling to fire on the crowds.

LATEST at 20h30m GMT on Saturday 29 January 2011
  • Heavy gunfire heard coming from the direction of Interior Ministry in Cairo.
  • Reports of confrontation between guards at the Interior Ministry and Protesters (approx. 20h25m GMT)

IMPORTANT - JUST IN FROM AL JAZEERA on
30 January 2011 
(times are local to Cairo)

11:40 am: Al Jazeera issues a statement denouncing the closure of its bureau in Cairo.

"The Al Jazeera Network strongly denounces and condemns the closure of its bureau in Cairo by the Egyptian government.  The Network received notification from the Egyptian authorities this morning.

Al Jazeera has received widespread global acclaim for their coverage on the ground across the length and breadth of Egypt.

An Al Jazeera spokesman said that they would continue their strong coverage regardless:

"Al Jazeera sees this as an act designed to stifle and repress the freedom of reporting by the network and its journalists.   In this time of deep turmoil and unrest in Egyptian society it is imperative that voices from all sides be heard; the closing of our bureau by the Egyptian government is aimed at censoring and silencing the voices of the Egyptian people.

"Al Jazeera assures its audiences in Egypt and across the world that it will continue its in-depth and comprehensive reporting on the events unfolding in Egypt.  Al Jazeera journalists have brought unparalleled reporting from the ground from across Egypt in the face of great danger and extraordinary circumstances.  Al Jazeera Network is appalled at this latest attack by the Egyptian regime to strike at its freedom to report independently on the unprecedented events in Egypt."
  • 11:27 am: Al Jazeera's Evan Hill, tweeting from Cairo, says: Several aspects of the apparent government shutdown of AJ remain unclear. We're all waiting now. 
  • 10:55 am:  Al Jazeera's correspondent Dan Nolan and web producer Evan Hill say Egyptian state television report that Egyptian authorities have ordered the Al Jazeera Arabic offices in Cairo closed and have suspended its correspondents' accreditations.
  • "The team watched the announcement go out live on Nile TV. They said our broadcasting license and press credentials are being revoked," Hill reported from Cairo.

WIKILEAKS - has issued two articles (here and here) on what is presently happening. The list of the US Embassy Cairo Cables is here.

WARNING

Do NOT ACCESS the WIKILEAKS

links ABOVE if you live a country

where you could come to harm

for visiting this site...!!!


I'm sure you'll be able to read extracts of these cables in some mainstream media later tonight or tomorrow, such as The Guardian, the New York Times, Le Monde and others - where there will be no risk to you.

Whereas Western governments were timid in issuing encouragements for freedom in Egypt a few hours ago, the EEC has issued a pro-revolution speech tonight. The US are also, in the last hour, coming round to the idea that this revolution is serious and are showing anxiety. The French radio I'm listening to while writing this article has just mentioned that from unofficial medical sources, there are:
  • Cairo: at least 50 dead and 1-2'000s of injured people. Other figures (Al Jazeerah) 1030 injured. (figures keep changing). Witnesses say body count increasing. Hospital looted.
  • Cairo: at least 50'000 people in the two main squares of the capital
  • Suez: Al Jazeerah mentioned 38 dead and more than 170 injured in Suez on Friday night, no updated figures yet.
  • Alexandria: 36 dead
  • Travel advisories - most countries recommend not going to Cairo, Suez and Alexandria at this time, but report that the southern towns resorts for diving are untouched (as yet) by the revolution. In fact, travel agents are offering to rebook travellers to Egypt from the towns where the revolution is happening to these sea resorts.

The rioters claim that the Army will not shoot them - that remains to be seen. Headquarters for the ruling party have been set to fire twice and subject to looting. On the other hand, protesters are presently trying to protect a Museum from damage.

Below are the basic astrological data for astrologers, I will write articles as and when I can, but will try and provide the astro data as events unfold, so you can use it.

  1. The vote in the House of Commons in London, which abolished the Protectorate, at 10h43m pm on 14 March 1922; this vote took effect in Cairo at the same time. In his words the chart "represents the de jure restoration of Egyptian independence. Click: Chart for London, Chart for Cairo

  2. The official proclamation of Egyptian independence and Egyptian kingdom took place at 10h00m am on 15 March 1922 in Cairo. Chart

  3. Nick Campion suggests that one could also use the chart of the proclamation of the Republic at around 11h00m pm on 22 July 1952. Chart

  4. Another proclamation of the Republic occurred after a second coup on 18 June 1953 in Cairo at 11h30m pm. Chart
