Astrology of the Iran Election: Rigged or Written in the Stars?
June 21, 2009 by Nina Gryphon
The 2009 Iran election is over, and the people had filled the streets in protest. Now, there is a minor lull as the authorities have cracked down violently on the protesters. What will happen next in this stalemate?
Astrological omens indicate that the action is not yet over, and indeed, may just be beginning. The summer of 2009 will bring violence and bloodshed in Iran, specifically violence involving the government committed in the name of Islam. Women will be very important in these events, particularly women from Iran’s ruling class. The rulers will display their enemies’ injured bodies as public deterrents, perhaps ensuring that images of death get out to the public and the world. The astrologer Masha’allah said that in years where Mars governs and is in the 10th house, the king will “put his enemies in a gibbet.” Among the president’s enemies will be those from his own circle (from domicile of significator of the president). There will be great conflict among the clerics, and also contention between the common people and the clerics.
The horoscope for the summer promises serious conflicts, with Mars aspecting Saturn out of the Midheaven, indicating the weakness of the ruler. The horoscope for this summer in Iran is below:
Mars governs the horoscope, as it is at the top of the chart, and it is about to enter the 10th house, the house of the king. However, it will be shortly overtaken by Venus, and then trine Saturn. This is likely indication that the violence (perpetrated in the name of Islam, as it is a Venusian religion, and Mars is in Venus’s sign) will be done with the help of the government and of the people (paramilitary groups?), and that the current rulers will harm their enemies. Mars is in Taurus, the sign of its detriment, indicating violence and harm to the rulers.
This horoscope is similar to the Capricorn Ingress of 1978, presaging the exile of the Shah, who fled the country in early 1979. In that horoscope, Venus was in the Midheaven in the sign of her detriment.
End of July (around the Solar Eclipse of July 22, 2009, which will be visible in Iran) indicates possible changes in leadership in Iran this year. There will be more on this eclipse later, but for now, suffice it to say the eclipse shows difficulties for the existing government.
The horoscope for 2009 promised violence and death this year in Iran, particularly the deaths of young people, indicated by the Mercury-Saturn opposition out of the 8th house of death. Again, Mars was prominent in the 7th house.
Interestingly, the Iranian regime is having its own Saturn return, a time said to be difficult for individuals and organizations alike; Ruhollah Khomeini returned from exile in February 1979, when Saturn was at 12 Virgo.
Regardless of the short-term outcome, this summer’s events plant the seeds for a much more serious showdown in Iran several years from now.
P.S.: Late last year, Gryphon Astrology did a seven-part series on the astrological history of revolution in Iran.
