With the start of the XXX Olympic Games in London, the latest installment of athletic (and yes, political) competition continues a tradition that began over 2700 years ago at the ancient Greek site of Olympia. The echoes of those past games still resonate today both in the heavens as well as on the field of competition. Comparing the chart of those first games with the “natal” chart of the 2012 London Olympics reveals a powerful synastry reaching across the mists of time and space with the potential to impact far more than who will win a gold medal.
The term “synastry” describes the analysis of the interaction between two or more astrological charts in order to predict how their relationships will affect events in the future. When a planet aligns with another at a moment in time, this is known as a “transit”. In this case, I have looked at the chart for the date of the first Olympic Games August 22, 776 B. C. at Olympia in relation to the chart for the opening ceremonies in London on July 27th, 2012. There are several profound aspects and transits that could impact not only the Games but the world at large.
Perhaps the most significant aspect is the Pluto Opposition Pluto Transit. This is not a normal time and there is a true sense that what is occurring is, in fact, fated. . With this transit, we all are extremely vulnerable to the impact of deep and profound change. This is a time of endings and new beginnings. Authority and existing power structures will be challenged-and will not give up willingly.
The location of the Pluto at the first Olympic Games was in the sign of Cancer. Its present day position resides in Capricorn. As mentioned in several of my previous articles, Pluto in Capricorn is dynamic and transformative on a global scale. In contrast the placement of Pluto in Cancer the emphasis is on radical changes on a personal or social level. The combination of internal and external transformation makes this a unique moment in time that could radically alter what we know as “reality”.
The conjunctions between Pluto and Mars, and Pluto and Uranus heighten this kinetic frenzy. As this intense energy ramps up, expect wild fluctuations in the world of finance which could lead to an upheaval on the existing status quo before the Torch is extinguished in London at the Olympic Games. Some of the existing political structures will collapse in dramatic and probably violent fashion, including some that are less expected than others.
On the personal side, the Pluto the Dark Lord finds itself squared to Venus. While this heightens intense physical relationships, it can also result in receiving what is believed to be wanted, but, in truth, not what is actually needed. As a result, scandals, both personal and political could make the beginning of August truly the start of “the dog days”.
The Moon, representing our emotions and the very tides of existence is also under duress. With squares to the Sun, Neptune, the Midheaven and the North Node, the battle between ego of certain leaders and emotions of their constituents could add a lot of tension. This could be a harbinger of the “have-nots” deciding to try and take matters from the “haves”. Again, this is more on global scale than one individual country.
Emotional excess and over-reaction will add to the confusion with the result being uniformly poor choices both on the home front and beyond. This can be a precursor to the Euro-crisis dissolving into a revolution, perhaps in Greece, but possibility elsewhere in Southern Europe within the next three weeks. The ripple effect could cause even more confusion with the common question being: Who is really in charge?
