Here is the Summer Solstice Astro*Cartography for 2009. I initially cast this chart to look at what was going on in Teheran. It struck me that there was a lot of instability in the area due to the election in Iran as Jupiter made its first station. The Astro*Cartography chart shows that Jupiter is angular on the 7th house with Neptune (the claims of an electional fraud). I wonder whether Mars is sufficiently close to the MC to explain the situation coming to a boil.
What is Uranus doing on the Midheaven of London? Is this the next episode of the Gordon Brown story? The rebellious and explosive nature of Uranus might give reason for some extra precautions? Or will astrologers once again be admitted to Buckingham Palace? New thinking and new solutions certainly embrace the essense of the configuration.

Blame the Moussavi protest rallies in Tehran on the solar Eclipse at 26 Jan 2009. Cast this eclipse chart for Tehran and you will find Mercury rx. and Mars tightly cnj the Mc. This chart was recently activated just as transit Venus hit the chart's Asc, while transit Mars went over the Mc of the chart of the Iran Islamic Republic (Apr 01 1979 3:00 PM Tehran).

The New Moon chart (May 24 2009) for Tehran also had Mars exactly square Mc and Opposit the Eclipse Mc.

Well, The January solar Eclipse was cnj Jupiter, which traditionaly rules the persians.

Have to say I'm more struck by the uranus going through England (and not scotland) and through France and then the west of Africa, mainly Algeria, Mali, benin, togo and Ghana areas to be interesting. Will Uranus bring water? it is a wet uranus, water in that area is a problem, I wonder what it will mean for them.

Note too that Saturn line skims the west coast of ireland, Protugal, and slips through further west in Africa, namely the mauritania, western mali, Guinea, possibly even Sierra Leone areas... saturn in virgo??? I'm too tired to think so I'm probably missing a lot.

I am stretching it a bit, but notice the Uranus line over London. London WAS to be the arena for Michael Jackson's sensational come-back & farewell conserts. Now, with his sudden and unexpected death, all that is turned around. Uranus was also on the descendant at the time he was taken unwell.

Tertiary progressed Uranus also hit MJ's natal Venus lord of his first sidereal house. Wasn't it the late Richard Houke who wrote the book "The Astrology of Death" where he used tertiary progressions and the sidereal chart to predict the native's date of demise?
