Al-Sisis’s Egypt – a media revolt

General Al-Sisi’s government is facing ‘the toughest challenge of his leadership as journalists joined unprecedented protests against a crackdown on human rights.’ (Times). Mass demonstrations are prompting calls for a national strike, regarded as an act of terrorism in Egypt.

His Presidency chart, 8 June 2014 11.18am, has the revolving crises Cardinal Grand Cross of Pluto opposition Jupiter square Uranus opposition Moon Mars. Mars Jupiter Pluto is ruthless and pushily confident; Mars Uranus is explosive.

As the planets in the Grand Cross move by transit or Solar Arc to close aspects to exact there will be clashes. Tr Pluto is moving to square the Presidency Moon in June which will inflame popular feeling; with a destabilising tr Pluto square Uranus thereafter.

Solar Arc Pluto will square the Uranus which is possibly the most unsettled aspect by this time next year.

There’s also a Yod in the Presidency chart of Sun sextile Uranus inconjunct Saturn which is also shifting around at the moment and in 2017 to bring the aspects to exact, which will heighten the sense of strain.

But he’s pretty unbudgeable with a Scorpio Sun Venus (Saturn Mercury) on the focal point of a Fixed T square to a Mars in Aquarius opposition Pluto. So the possibility of any flexibility is very remote indeed.
