Australia's National 'Sorry Day'!

[Solastro]

A REMARKABLE DEMONSTRATION OF ASTROLOGY!!!

On Feb 13, 2008 at 9am AEDT.. Australia's new PM.. Kevin Rudd(Sept 21, 1957, 6am? Brisbane, wikipedia).. a Virgo(*Jupiter in Libra sextile *Saturn in Sag).. delivered the long awaited appology to our nation's aboriginal people.. something our previous PM John Howard(July 26, 1939, 2.21am Sydney).. a Leo(Sun/Pluto conj).. refused to do..

So I looked at our national transits & progessions for this historic event.. with some miraculous alignments.. espcially when adding Kevin Rudds chart to the picture.. Australia Federation Chart (Jan 1, 1901, 1.25pm Melb, www.astro.com)

The standout feature being an almost exact *'Yod' or 'finger of fate' channelled through Kevin Rudd's natal *Sun-Mars in Virgo(*27deg).. inconjunct (150deg) the national *prog Aries Sun(*27deg).. also inconjunct (150deg) *trans Aquarian Nth Node(*27deg).. with the *prog Sun sextile *trans Node..

While this pattern also tied in nicely with the national Mercury-Neptune opposition(*27deg Sag-Gem) forming a *'mystic rectangle'.. with the trans Nodal Axis(Leo-Aqu 27deg) while off to the side.. Kevin Rudd's Sun-Mars(27degVir) exactly squaring off this natal Merc-Neptune oppostion..

So was this his destiny then or what!!! It certainly seems so according to astrology!!!

Meawnhile *the Taurus Moon (*7deg).. in the national 1st house.. closely trined the nation's Saturn in Cap(*7deg).. 9th house.. while both also clsoely opposed & sextiled Kevin Rudds natal Venus in Scorpio(*7deg).. in the nations 7th house!!

While *Chiron in Aquarius(16deg).. also closely trined our nations Pluto in Gemini(16deg).. meanwhile transiting *Mercury in Aquarius(10deg).. moved to closely oppose Kevin Rudd's Uranus in Leo(10deg).. while both closley sextiled the national Venus in Sag(10deg)..

So all this delivering a great symbolic moment in our nation's history.. especially with *trans Chiron involved with the national Pluto.. 'the wounded healer'.. symbolising a 'cathartic moment' for the native people of this ancient land!!!

Reaching back to 'the ancestors' in the 'great beyond'.. ie. Pluto's realm!!!

ALL THIS "REBIRTH" OCCURRING>> WITH THE *PROG ARIES MOON.. CROSSING THE NATIONAL ARIES ASCENDANT!!!


**Meawnhile as a side note.. it is rather intertesting that Kevin Rudd is possibly teh first ever foriegn leader to have ever delivered a speach in fluent mandarin to a packd hall of university students in Beijing.. truly a talented man with words.. *Sun-Mars conj in Virgo(ruled by *Mercury in Virgo!!! ) while also maintaining his criticism of China over the recent Tibet crackdown.. all this in the heart of China.. while also simultaneously invoking an ancient Chinese idea of 'true friendship'.. being able to be frank & honest with eachother.. without destroying the friendship...

It is also worth mentioning that Mr Rudd's Sun-Mars exactly aligns with China's Virgo Sun at *27degrees!!! Current Republic Chart (Sep 21, 1949 12 noon, Peking, members.tripod.com/tra_nations/a_china1.htm)

He spent a number of years living in China as a diplomat.. & developed a deep understanding of Chinese culture etc.. Rudd studied at the Australian National University in Canberra where he resided at Burgmann College and graduated with First Class Honours in Arts (Asian Studies). He majored in Chinese language and Chinese history, became proficient in Mandarin and acquired a Chinese alias, Lù Kèwén (traditional Chinese) His thesis on Chinese democracy activist Wei Jingsheng[9] was supervised by Pierre Ryckmans, the eminent Belgian-Australian Sinologist.[ All this as China rises as a world economic power...

A BREATH OF "FRESH AIR" FOR THIS COUNTRY.. & PERHAPS THE WORLD TOO.. OFFERING HIS DIPLOMACY SKILLS.. WHO NOT AFRAID TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST ALL "OLD STYLE" UNTHINKING POLICY... ie. A man of the *Pluto in Virgo generation.. replacing the "Old Style" *Pluto in Leo of the past.. Is Barack next? Also of the "new" Pluto in Virgo generation of leaders emerging.. Is America ready for such an Earth driven leader? Even though Barack is a Leo Sun.. with Gemini Moon!!

Let's hope this 'breath' of change can sweep over the world now.. refreshing & renewing us all & this planet!!!

Hi Solastro

The Australia Swearing In chart (1 Jan 1901, 1.35.42 pm, Sydney, Australia) discovered and researched by Gwyn Stoney is probably the correct chart for our country.

Australia was officially declared a Commonwealth with the swearing in of the Governor General, Prime Minister and Members of Parliament in Sydney on 1st January 1901. Melbourne had its big celebration at the opening of Parliament on 9th May 1901. http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/publications/federation/page10.htm

It was the first time the birth of a nation was filmed - by the Salvation Army http://www.multiculturalaustralia.edu.au/library/media/Video/id/315

The story of the celebration of the formation of the Commonwealth is absolutely fascinating. People from all over Australia, including delegates from all the States in Australia came to Sydney for a huge procession and the swearing in ceremonies. There was a big electrical storm overnight that cleared up just in time for the procession to start at 10.30 am.

The procession included Australian dignitaries, workers from various areas of expertise and dignitaries from other countries, including Canada and Italy.

The ceremony started at 12.30 pm, with prayers, and then each of the dignitaries were sworn in one by one. Shortly after the ceremony was over, the skies opened up again and the storm resumed!

Using this Swearing In chart at the time of the Apology the Solar Arc MC at 20Taurus24 was conjunct natal Moon at 21Taurus19 and Secondary Progressed Midheaven was conjunct SP South Node. Also SP Sun (ruler of 4th house of indigenous people) was trine natal Mercury.

Interestingly on the date and time for the Swearing In of Pirme Minister Kevin Rudd (3rd December 2007, 10.31 am, Canberra, Australia) Jupiter was conjunct the Anti-Vertex and also conjunct our natal Jupiter-Mercury conjunction in the 9th house, indicating something of destiny was in play. Pluto, the ruler of the Scorpio MC, was also conjunct an applying Jupiter, indicating considerable success.
