URANUS CYCLE CHART CHINA 2011

On April 9, 2011, Uranus will cross the celestial equator from south declination to north declination, commencing a new planetary cycle that will influence people of the Earth until January 2012.  The following sets forth conditions for China.

Uranus is positioned in China's 5th house, thus, radical activities and sudden events will focus on the birth-rate, children and places where children congregate, such as schools, and on China's stock market.  With Uranus conjoined Mars in Aries and squared by retrograde Pluto, some rather explosive events are indicated.  We can look for power struggles and disagreements with neighboring countries...and there are a few of them.  The retrograde condition suggests that China is rethinking prior agreements.  India?  Russia? Other tension-causing difficulties include upheavals relative to transit systems, communication systems and decaying bridges.

The Jupiter/Saturn opposition occurs across their 6th/12th house axis, Jupiter in the 6th accompanied by the Sun and retrograde Mercury, placing a focus on both their military forces and their food supplies.  Harvests will be poor in 2011. 

The 30th degree of the 3rd decanate of Libra is on the Ascendant, the decanate in the sign of partnership and open enemies next to the sign of death (Scorpio)...there is often a peculiar fatality associated with it.

Of the 30th degree astrologer Martin Goldsmith writes of the symbology:  A turbaned mind reader surreptitiously hides something in the sleeve of his robe.  Description:  playing one's cards close to the chest; keeping tabs on other people's underhanded maneuvers vs. subtle control of people's emotions and desires.
