GREEK STUDENT DEATH – NATIONAL UNREST by Roy MacKinnon The unlawful killing by police in Athens of a student has led to tremendous repercussions throughout the country. What is particularly interesting is that the incident concerning the 15 year old seems to have acted as a trigger for social unrest. It seems to be the case that the student’s death has given firstly an opportunity to protest by young people but secondly by people in general about the state of the Greek economy and their desire to topple the government. The prime minister and the government are greatly concerned in view that this is the third day of riots. Riot police all over the country in different towns and cities are sorely pressed in trying to maintain a kind of peace and it will come as nor surprise to see this reflected astrologically. Modern Greece as a democratic parliamentary republic came into being on 24th July, 1974 at 4 AM EET (02:00 UT) in Athens when Constantine Karamanlis was sworn in as prime minister. (See Nick Campion). It is a somewhat negative chart in that with Saturn on the Ascendant in mid-Cancer there is a rather gloomy heavy authoritarian presence. However, what interests me greatly is that the Greek Venus is in Cancer at 3-29 and the U.S. Sibly Chart Venus is at Cancer 3-05 and that financially what happens is Greece can also be an indicator of what could happen to the other. Looking first at the Transits some of them speak loud and clear. The rights of the individual can no longer be sacrificed as Transiting Uranus at Pisces 18-46 squares the Moon’s Node at Sagittarius 18-34. The incident seems to have started on Saturday, 6th December, 2008 in Athens as 9pm EET (19-00 UT). At that time the Transiting Moon was at Pisces 25-45 just past the MC of Greece at Pisces 24-42. The Transiting Midheaven was at Aries 26-35 in trine to the Greek Mars at Leo 27-49 and may have been absolutely exact when the student was shot. Transiting Pluto, now in Capricorn is at 0-20 in close quincunx to the Greek Sun at Leo 0-49. There is in the Transiting chart a very interesting T-Square of Mercury at Sagittarius 21-11, Saturn at Virgo 21-12 and Centaur Pylenor at Gemini 21-21R. Note also that as the troubles started Mars was at Sagittarius 14-48 and in conjunction with the Sun at Sagittarius 15-02. Secondary Progressions also speak volumes. As with the Transit chart there is evidence of stand alone qualities. Progressed Moon at Capricorn 5-21 squares Progressed Pluto at Libra 5-27. Progressed Mars at Virgo 19-30 is conjunct the Progressed Sun/Pluto midpoint at Virgo 19-37. The progressed chart also relates to the natal chart. Progressed Sun at Virgo 3-48 is conjunct the Greek chart Uranus/Ascendant midpoint at Virgo 3-32. Lastly, the Progressed Venus/Saturn midpoint at Leo 0-17 conjunct the Greek Sun at Leo 0-49 interestingly quincunxes Transiting Pluto at Capricorn 0-20. Note how all charts can be found to be stand alone charts and also all relate one to the others.
