I'm not too experienced about mundane charts so i'm hoping someone will help me....
As I understand it, the ascendant represents the country- Australia...Taurus on the asc, a fixed sign and the sign that rules income and possessions. The moon is in this house showing where the concerns of the country are focussed...The moon is late in degree...not long before it changes sign into Gemini...(the media)...The public very interested in the result. The country's wealth is ruled by mercury and mercury is in the seventh in scorpio, the seventh representing the *house of foreign affairs*...pacific neighbours...
The house of the media, house 3 is ruled by cancer, the moon, so a definite interest in foreign affairs/ foreign policy and the fiscal state of the nation.
Apparently the *opposition* is ruled by house 4 and leo, the sun, rules this house...The sun is square the nodes and in the house of foreign affairs (also open enemies)...The sun and moon are moving to opposition...A result the public will not like? Saturn is in the house that rules Kevin Rudd's party, not too strong in virgo and applying to an opposition with uranus in the 10th which is said to signify the *reigning monarch* Uranus is unpredictable, but even stranger is the close contact made by neptune to the MC...the point that represents Howard.Mercury and neptune are square (H7- H10)..Lies to the media? lies exposed BY the media? Certainly a very deceptive influence...
The ruler of H4, rep Rudd,is the sun, newly in jupiter's sign sag...The sun will square saturn in the fourth and when the moon changes sign it will also square saturn there...(The media made a big deal of Rudd having health problems some time ago- perhaps sat in virgo reflects that....)
I also notice that the ruler of the tenth is in the fourth...suggesting victory for Howard.The asc (country) will sextile uranus AND mars (the media- or action taken by them....
House six, the house that rules the workers has venus on the cusp trine to neptune on the MC> Will the workers truly be deceived again? Bribed with cash back short term solutions? While their jobs are outsourced to (cheaper) overseas businesses? Venus and mars are still in orb of a square...mars on cusp of house that relates to the media, news....but mars is sextile the asc, the country and its people...mars in cancer is weak and doesn't *do* much...perhaps the media could have done a better job in reflecting more truthfully the concerns of the people?
In the eighth house of *overseas finances* is the jupiter/Pluto cj. A coup in a neighbouring counytry that affects our financial state? AN ECONOMIC COLLAPSE???? or is that what the people fear?
On balance I would say that the current government will be re-elected, but the opposition will have an increased majority but that foreign affairs will be taking center stage on the day....
Please help me with this someone?
Thanks, Lillyjgc
