I have been studying the astrology of Singapore lately, and it is somewhat intriguing.
The country is best known for several things: it is an island approximately the size of London; it has no natural resources of any kind (and indeed must import water from neighbouring Malaysia), and is spectacularly developed.

The history of Singapore is complex, but in short, the country started to exist at 1000H, 9 Aug 1965, when it was expelled from the Malayan Federation. The chart has 9 libra rising. The sun is in 16 Leo (which is appropriate because Singapore is Sanskrit for "Lion city") and the moon is in 10 Capricorn.

What is most interesting about the chart is how most of the the planets lack essential dignity, but make up for it spectacularly with accidental dignity. The lord of the 2nd, Mars is fallen in libra. However, Mars is conjunct Spica and trine Jupiter. The country, far from being poor, has one of the highest GDP per capita in the world-- derived from trade and financial services It is also worth noting that the country's mercury- the planet of trade- is also in Leo, conjunct regulus.

Singapore's midheaven is in Cancer; its ruler, the Moon, although in her detriment, is conjunct the 4th house and is received by her ruler, Saturn, with a sextile. These are evidently enough to allow the same political party, the PAP, to hold over 90% of the country's parliament since independence.

Singapore's politics has been dominated by one party, the People's Action Party (PAP), since independence. Between 1968 and 1980, the party controlled every seat in parliament. This changed in 1981 when Joshua Benjamin Jeyeratnam (Worker's party) was elected, the sole opposition member of the 75-member parliament. This incidentally happened shortly after progressed sun of Singapore had changed signs, from Leo to Virgo (12 nov 1979). the worker's party is still the major opposition party in Singapore. The worker's party had 10 seats out of 95 in the parliament.

The PAP was founded on 21 November 1954 and the Worker's party was founded on 3 November 1957. Here are the charts for reference

PAP Worker's party As a final note, homosexuality has long been illegal in singapore, until the relevant law was repealed in 2023, after much campaigning by activists. This is an article about that campaign written by a singaporean astrologer in https://athirdeyeseer.com/2020/06/27/pr ... singapore/
