i have 3 or 4 charts for syria.. marjorie orr has had some success in the past with the chart for 1944.. the one i have for 1944 is jan 1 0:00am 13 libra 19 ascendant using damascus as location. a quick look at the transits to this chart highlight the mercury retro we are presently experiencing which went retro at about 20 sag back on nov 24th.. using the jan 1/44 chart makes this is a 3rd house transit opposite natal saturn at 22 gemini... on nov 27th - yesterday - the arab league imposed sanctions on syria which is a first and suggests the friendship that assad and syria have had with the arab league is coming to an end or being strongly challenged... this appears to be a reversal of fortunes for assad which means increased pressure on him to either change, or step down. also, the nov 27th data coincides with transiting sun opp the mars/uranus conjunction in the jan 1 1944 chart, indicating a surprise reversal.. this is the first time the arab league has done something like this and perhaps they don't want to see a repeat of what has happened in libya..
