Astrological Forecast Australia 2012
A Mundane Astrological analysis.
By Gregory Clare ©
Horoscopic Astrology as we know it comes from the combined efforts of the Babylonian’s, Egyptians and Greeks. Sometime during nineties as the Fabric of Antiquity was being deciphered, translated and transliterated by the endeavours of Project Hindsight that I connected with a phrase uttered by Robert Schmidt and Robert Hand, “Astrological Antiquity of the Greeks can best be described as Mathematical, Geometrical and Grammatical.” That phrase has become part of me, and what follows is I hope an example of how I use it to understand Time.
A Greek Tragedy is set to unfold on the Australian political stage!
First let me set the scene for you. Keep in mind that this is theatre and as such the setting or background scenery will change with each new Act.
In 2007, the then Opposition Leader, Kevin Rudd, commissioned the Garnaut Climate Change Review on 30th April. The planetary characters are; Rahu – North Node of the Moon, Ares (Mars) co-joined to Ouranos (Uranus) in the Image of the Two Fishers (Pisces) at 18 degrees; A volatile explosive and emotional charged revolutionary idea, which will be shared, or challenged with others.
Prime Minister John Howard announced his own plan for a carbon trading scheme on 4th June 2007.
The Rudd Government published a final white paper on 15th December 2008. The Government then announced that the legislation was intended to take effect in July 2010.
An ETS or Emission Trading Scheme is first introduced to the Upper House (The then Senate was a Liberal majority) in early 2009, and again for the last time on 2nd December 2009. The Bill fails to pass after two attempts. Rudd could have called a double dissolution leading to an early election in 2010, but decides against it.
Meanwhile during these two controversial attempts to present the Bill to the Upper House, the then Leader of the Opposition, Malcolm Turnbull, is confronted by a hostile leadership faction led by, as Turnbull called him “a great big new tax”, Tony Abbott. Turnbull, who had done a deal with Rudd to amend and support the passage of the amendments through the senate, loses his position to the anti-ETS group and is replaced by Tony Abbott as opposition leader.
On 24th June, 2010, Julia Gillard replaced Kevin Rudd as leader of the Labor Party and Prime Minister. On 21st August, 2010, she calls a Federal Election after which no party has a mandate to Govern in their own right. Gillard then forms an alliance with the four Green and Independent members of the Lower House.

The Greek God "Ares"
Known for Separation/Severance,
dissociation and Differentiation!
Kevin's natal Mercury is conjunct the Federations natal Mars.
When ever he communicates to the nation he will invoke Mercury/Mars - Contestation and Differentiation
My forecast's will include the Yearly Ingress of the Sun into Aries as well the quarterly Ingress, Cancer,Libra and Capricorn. The Aries Ingress will occur on the 21st of March (Vernal Equinox) the Cancer Ingress, 21st June. I will also make use of the MSR, Modified Solar Return, which I explain in my article on Pauline Hanson. MSR
First up is the Australian Government chart; Referred to as the; Australian Federation Chart, 1st January 1901.
The chart I always refer to is the rectification by Gwen Stoney 1st January 1901, at 13:35:42 AEST -10, Sydney. I'll be using whole sign (place) Houses for most charts, other house systems will be referred to if necessary.

New updates will appear soon for Australia
Astrological Forecast Australia 2012
Act 1 - Note; All Event charts are cast using Regiomontanus House Cups.
Opening of the Polls for the 2007 Federal Election @ 08:00hrs AEDT, Sydney , November 24th, 2007, Kevin 007 is elected to the Office of Prime Minister. This Event chart which I used to predicted his rise and subsequent fall is set as the first scene.
The scene opens like this; The Ascendant, 05 degrees Capricorn. The Ruler Saturn is in Virgo trine to the Ascendant in the 9th house. This aspect is signifying the incumbent Government (the Howard led Liberals) and is reasonably strong! However the Descendant which is 05 degrees Cancer representing the opposition Rudd led Labor Party has as its ruler an Exalted Moon at 20 degrees Taurus. (This degree of the Event Moon is very significant to the plot of our play. This is the exact degree of the Natal Moon in the Proclamation 1901 chart .) This 5th house Taurus Event Moon is stronger in essential dignity then the Event Ascendant ruler Saturn.
I made the first statement in my forecast as follows; The Labor led Rudd government will be successful in gaining government. But!!! Mars is in the 7th house close to the descendant. This will cause leadership problems and the Party to be divided. I made this statement because Mars nature, when its essential dignity is compromised, is to divide or separate by accusation; assigning blame to or upon the character that Mars signifies.
One result of this action is the Exile by dissociation and loss of reputation! Mars also rules the 5th house, the Senate, The Event cusp is Aries, and as such his Fall will come from the Senate. What I also noted was the MC/IC of the Event chart was 17degrees 40’ Virgo/Pisces, this degree was same axis degree that Mars and Uranus were at when Rudd commissioned the Garnaut Climate Change Review. Uranus was also stationed at 14 degrees Pisces on the Garnaut review North Node.
Act 11
Opening of the Polls for the 2010 Federal Election @ 08:00hrs AEST, Sydney, 21st August, 2010. No Party wins enough Seats in the Lower House to Govern in their own right. Gillard, after a long delay, puts together a Labor /Green /Independent alliance. The Event chart Ascendant set for Sydney is 00:31 degrees Libra, the Image of the Scales. The ruler, Venus, is in the 1st House co-joined to the Descendant ruler Mars. What I said about this is as follows; At first glance it seems that while Venus is in her own Sign and Mars the ruler of the opposing party is also in the 1st, that the incumbent Government, Labor, will retain office.
But!! It is not a foregone conclusion.
While the essential dignity of Venus is strong, Venus may be in a state of Besiegement. This is due to the presence of the two Malefics in the House. Venus has left Saturn and is now co-joined to Mars. Also Venus is in the Confines of Mercury. This will greatly affect how Venus is able to act, as Mercury is in the 12th and has just stationed. I mentioned that while Jupiter is in the 7th house on the Descendant, this aspect looks strong. But Jupiter is retrograde, which will compromise the benefic qualities of the planet to act. I also mentioned as Saturn is on the Ascendant (although in an exalted state) this will cause delays and constriction.
My comments when asked who would gain office were: In light of what I have mentioned the fact that Saturn, Jupiter/Uranus and Pluto were all in a tight T-square and co-joined to the angles that this would be a battle of the Titans. Gillard-Labor would retain office, but this would not come easily as concessions will need to be made.
Furthermore that every time in a 7 day period that the transiting Moon entered one of the Cardinal signs during the reign of the Government, this tension filled battle would be heard everywhere!
One more aspect I commented on was Ketu- the South Node in the 10th House of the Event chart. The South Node, 11 degrees Cancer, is the exact degree of Mars in the 2007 election Event chart.
Act 111
On 12th October 2011, at 09:24hrs AEDT, in Canberra, ACT, the Lower House of the Australian Parliament passed the controversial Carbon Tax bill. The legislation is aimed at big polluters and is Australia’s contribution towards a greener planet. The Upper House or Senate will vote on the bill in mid November which will be around the time of the 25th November Partial Solar eclipse. The bill is expected to be passed without too much concern as the Greens are holding the balance of power in the Senate.
However people feel about this carbon trading scheme, one immediate glaring astrological aspect jumps out. This is a long astrological intertwining quandary.
A Greek masterpiece!
Using the local chart, 12th October, 2012, as an Event chart, the 11th house is the House of Representatives, and using the Regiomontanus house system, it is easy to see the conundrum.
A turbulent divided time is coming and therein lies the dilemma! Or maybe something else is about to take place. These Greek Tragedies are full of captivating intrigue, with the narrative having many twists and turns, just as does real life.
On 24th January 2012, at 11:53:37hrs, Canberra, ACT, Ares, aka Mars, will station at 23 degrees 05’ Virgo, which is the exact degree of the 11th house cusp in the October Event chart of the bill passing through the Lower House. Mercury in this chart is at 23 degrees Capricorn.
Now, two...no, three, maybe four more characters make their entry onto the stage. The event chart for the Mars station has Saturn (in Mundane astrology representing limitation, i.e.Taxation collecting) at 29 degrees Libra. So what is so important about this Saturn?? Firstly Saturn is also about to station at this 29 degrees Libra on 8th February 2012 at 13:03:27hr AEDT, Canberra. This chart has Sun/Mercury co-joined at 18 degrees Aquarius, in the Mars station chart of 24th January, the 11th House cusp is 18 degrees Aquarius.
Julia Gillard, born 29th September 1961, Aberdare, Wales, has her Natal Mars at 28:27 degrees Libra. Enter Tony Abbott. He was born 4th November 1957, London, UK. Tony has his Mars at 26 degrees Libra. So stationary RX Saturn has some work to do. He will encounter both Gillard’s and Abbott’s natal Mars.
More intrigue awaits as Gillard has natal Saturn at 23 degrees Capricorn and Abbott’s MC is 11 degrees Cancer. The curtain is about to go up for the final act of our drama.
Additionally Abbott’s 2011 solar return on 4th November has his return MC at 13 degrees Leo. This was the position of Mars in the 12th October 2011 chart, The Carbon Tax bill passed through the Lower House when Mars was at 13 Leo. What's more, this 2011 return has Mars at 26 degrees Leo, the degree that the Sun (Leader) was at in the 21st August 2010 election chart!
There is still more in this Abbott Return. Mercury is co-joined to Venus at 2 degrees Sagittarius. On 25thNovember 2011 there will be a Partial Solar eclipse at 2 degrees Sagittarius. There are some very interesting times ahead! This eclipse numbered astrologically as Saros cycle 14 North holds some really intriguing aspects through its psychological correlation.
According to Bernadette Brady “this is a peculiar eclipse family, heralding an acute time of confusion in personal relationships, unexpected happening in finical maters, and possible illness. Unrequited love, despair, confusion, a draining of energy, a peculiar turn of events. No important decisions should be made concerning incoming events as t is too much confusion and possible delusion to make clear judgments.”
Finally on 23rd January 2012, one day before Mars stations there is a New Moon at 2 degrees Aquarius. Wow!! This is the degree of the 1901 Federation MC, and whether you set the chart for Sydney or Canberra it gives a very interesting Ascendant. Sydney has 10 Cancer rising which opposes the 1901 natal Sun. Canberra has 07 Cancer rising which is opposing the 1901 natal Saturn. As if that’s not enough, using whole sign zodiacal profection, 1st January 2012 will be 111 years since Federation. So the profected whole sign is Cancer and the house is the 4th. The Solar return for the 1901 chart has Pluto partile natal Saturn.
The return Moon, which is the profected ruler for the year, is 8 degrees Aries, squaring the natal Saturn and transiting Pluto. These factors, or should I say planetary characters will make for a colourful year ahead on the Australian Political stage. A Greek masterpiece unfolding through the Cosmological dance in the Sky.
A note; I have not disclosed the birth time for Tony Abbott, which was given to me from an AANSW astrologer who got the data from Tony’s mother because Tony has not given his permission to use it. Nevertheless as his mother did give it freely my ethics on drawing up the chart will be set aside in the interest of completing my play.
I use Sydney as the base for any Federal election as the January 1st 1901 proclamation declaring Australia a Federation was read from Centennial Park and as such I feel it should be used to set the chart for any Federal election, opposed to Canberra, which did not exist at the time.
Data source: Gwen Stoney. "Australia's Heritage" Astrological Monthly Review. September 1986 -rectified Proclamation chart of the Swearing In, at 13:35:42hr AEST, 1st January 1901, Centennial Park, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
One of the 5th house significations is the Senate in Mundane astrology.
Cancer is the Depression or Fall of Mars, and Mars is also contrary to sect. In this diurnal chart the Sun is above the horizon.
Besiegement is said to occur when a Benefic planet is between two Malefic planets. This state is said to hinder the planet from being able to Act with its essential power.
Confine Lords are more commonly known as the Egyptian Terms or Bounds and play a very important role to advising about the quality of the planet and its ability to deliver. They are five irregular divisions of a zodiacal sign, with one of the five visual planets ruling one of the irregular sections, the Sun or Moon can’t be Confine Lords.
