Astrology of Eclipses: Lunar Eclipse of September 7th - Turkey

Lunar Eclipse Astrology - Harbor in the Levant
We can see the very interesting - and troubling - way that the astrological consequences of the September 7th Lunar Eclipse have played out in Turkey. First, there was the deadly explosion earlier this week in the city of Diyarbakir, which killed 10 people. It looks as though the group behind the explosion is the PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party), a group that seeks Kurdish independence from Turkey. Most of the victims of the bombing were children. In the chart set for Diyarbakir, the eclipse is in the 5th and 11th house; the 5th house is the house of children. The eclipse was in the constellation Eridanus (the River), which is Saturnian and indicates danger by water. The bomb was placed in a water cooler.

The Lunar eclipse was ruled by Jupiter, and so increases the fame of religion and religious people, both of which are ruled by Jupiter. The Pope’s comments on Islam caused scandal in the Muslim world, and have certainly increased the Pope’s fame, though not in a good way. EuroNews reported that tensions in Turkey are running particularly high, as the Pope is scheduled to visit the country in November, and the leading party representative compared the Pope to Hitler and Mussolini. The visit is now in question. Given that the eclipse’s effects in Turkey will be strongest between September 17th and October 1st, this row will not die down anytime soon, and perhaps could culminate in the cancellation or postponement of the visit. So much for soothing inter-religious tensions.

This is a chart for the Lunar Eclipse of September 7th, 2006, set for Diyarbakir, Turkey:

    Dear Linda,
    I have just discovered your site and looking through it with interest. Thank you for this informative site. I am self teaching in traditional astrology. So my comment on the outcome of the Pope’s visit is six months late.

    I am Turkish and live in Ankara, the capital. The Pope’s visit turned out to be a success. He was given all dıe honor and protocol in his dual role of head of state and head of church. He also had contact with the Greek Orthodox Patriarchy in Istanbul. Judging from his official comments later, he was happy with the visit.

    The Turkish population is generally Muslim by religion (as I am) but it is a constitutionally secular country. So the Pope’s previous critical comments on Islam was regarded coolly, but was not a political issue. He was given
    top level plus security against any extremist adventurers.

    Sorry if this sounds somewhat official, but I wanted to say that, on this point at least, the lunar eclipse did not make trouble. :)
    Best regards.

    Dear Behiye,

    Thanks for your comment - I appreciate it very much. I love getting comments on politics-related astrology articles from people from affected countries.

    I do feel you missed my point a little bit in the above post, or read something into it that wasn’t there. My point was that the eclipse indicated Turkey-related problems, and this post enumerated ways that this had manifested. The eclipse did indeed “make trouble” with the bombings, and the huge furor preceding the Pope’s visit would be considered trouble in my book. We don’t need a full scale fiasco to consider something “trouble.”

    Warmly,
    Nina

    PS: No problem on the name issue - the web is a big place :)

    Dear Nina,

    I see your point. The visit was stressful for all concerned, of course. The lunar eclipse sets the stage. But in spite of it, in this case, the visit turned out very well and I believe it generated good will. In my opinion, the sextile aspect between the prog Moon of the Pope and the prog. Moon of Turkey at the time of the visit (24 Nov 2006) had something to do with it.

    On the other hand, the other issues you point out were indeed big trouble.

    I am looking forward to go through the site and enjoy the art as well :)
    Best regards
