THE ZUMA DEBACLE
WILL RESONATE THROUGH-OUT 2006 - 2008
There is no mistaking the source of Jacob Zuma's immense popularity. He was born on April 12, 1942 with the Sun and Mercury in Aries, a strong, energetic symbol that suggests power and drive. Mercury symbolises mind and communication, and in Aries, which is the sign of the head, it signifies a persuasive speaker and charismatic presence.
In Zuma's birth-chart Venus, sign of grace, charm and popularity is exalted in Pisces.
The exaltation of Venus is the strongest point in his chart and is the Morning Star, called by the Xhosa Ikhwezi, the most transcendent and powerful star. Small wonder that Zuma has won so many ardent followers and supporters.
His warmth and energy is attractive and insofar as Venus is the sign of love, Zuma and his followers were having a genuine public and political love affair.
Just to demonstrate how the power of this Venus exaltation: it was a key feature in the charts of Martin Luther King, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and novelist Victor Hugo.
They all had the ability to speak directly to people about the people's problems, to energise a feeling of patriotism and public spirit, and they all evoked a sense of kinship with humanity.
In Zuma's chart Venus of fair play combines forcefully with the Mercury energy and signifies clear public communication and an easy connection with the public's desire for freedom and a better life in the future.
This strength is also, not surprisingly, a source of weakness. His great ability to inspire public adulation also breeds the need for, and dependency on, that kind of attention.
This Venus quality registers prominently until 2007, Zuma's 65th year. It was a great omen for his hope of the presidency.
That's what we see in Zuma's chart, but an individual's chart must always be seen in the light of what's happening in the sky right at this time.
Uranus entered Pisces in March 2003 and it remains active until 2011. It's a disruptive, unpredictable energy. Uranus represents the power-brokers of our society, people who have been voted into the highest rank by popular consensus.
Disruptive Uranus conjoined the Venus in Zuma's chart from 2003 to 2005 and that's exactly where the rumours, accusations and legal proceedings began.
Uranus is a symbol of dissatisfaction, legal procedure and a divorce from the positive rewards of the Venus energy.
Venus rules Taurus and Taurus in Zuma's birth-chart has Saturn and Uranus conjunct, which is wilful and ambitious. This is the crucial point of balance. Saturn and Uranus are great leadership planets, they signify strength and energy.
Saturn is the traditional figure, convinced and confident about its power. Uranus is the rebel, the need to assert an individual freedom and power outside the existing structure. It's a breakaway energy, looking to stand alone and use its charismatic energy to attract followers towards it. It is the sign of the eternal rebel.
In Zuma's birth-chart, these two planets are powerfully linked to two Fixed Stars - Algol and the Pleiades.
This is startling symbolism for those who hold high office: as both these Fixed Stars signify great insight and prominence but also downfall and a cause for weeping.
The Pleiades popularly known as the Seven Sisters, were the seven mythological figures who weep. In African cosmology they are known as Selemela for the Sotho and Tswana, and isi-Limela for the Zulu and they relate to the change of seasons.
Algol is more serious, and is the symbol is the malevolent Medusa, the snake-haired demon who lured people and turned them to stone with her baleful gaze.
Algol is associated with decapitation because that was the only way to kill Medusa. It is signifies panic, and losing your head and is also associated with downfall and loss.
When Zuma was charged with rape on December 6, 2005 Mercury of the media and news was opposing Algol. Whe the trial begins Mars, symbolising anger and dispute, will be conjunct Algol, from from February 9 to 18, when will meet both Algol and the Pleiades.
When the alleged rape took place Venus was in harmful aspect to the fixed star Algol. And Venus was conjunct Pluto (see Celestial Focus dated 10 December 2005)
Pluto, the revealer of secrets that brings hidden things to light, is also exactly quincunx a discordant and fateful degree with Algol from February 14, 2006 and for the rest of the 2006 suggesting that events started here will resonate throughout the next two years until 2008.
