Is there a way to compare or overlay USA and Iran’s chart to see how the fallout might affect both nations?

If you say that “Astrologia Gallica 25″ is a superb book on mundane astrology, then I believe tha’s is true and I’ll try to get it as soon as possible.:-)

Thanks. I am always learning, too, and am happy to share. Morin says that a planet in the Ascendant (and probably MC, and to some extent the other angles) will always be the ruler, but we don’t have one here. But Saturn rules the angle following the Moon. It is also exalted and triplicity ruler of the Ascendant, as you point out. Morin says that when one planet rules the key angle (here, the IC) and the preceding angle, it is very strong. Secondary considerations (because they are not local) are that it also rules the dispositor of the Moon, and the square to the luminaries. Saturn is also above the horizon, which helps and makes it stronger than Jupiter, which disposits the Moon.

If you are interested in this topic, I highly recommend Astrologia Gallica 25. It’s perhaps the clearest text on mundane astrology I’ve read.

Best wishes,

Very instructive explanation of the full Moon chart,I always learn something new when I drop by to see what’s going on here.
I was wondering about this ruler of the chart per Morin’s definition…how is it possible that it is Saturn? It’s in the 12th, peregrine,rules the 4th and is the Almuten of the ascending degree(preceding angle)-perhaps that’s the reason? Or is it because it closely aspects the syzygy by square? Or(what I think is most probable explanation) both?

Grateful in advance for your response.
