Something is happening in Hong Kong

I’ve been tracking the Hong Kong protests against the astrology — as the Mercury retrograde approached, and as next week’s Full Moon eclipse conjunct Uranus draws nigh, the pressure is building. We are seeing the first protests in the spirit of the Occupy movement since the Uranus-Pluto square began in 2012.

Hong Kong is an island once ruled by England (briefly occupied by Japan during World War II), and returned to China in 1997. So there is a tradition of Western-style living, even though Beijing is now the official seat of government.

The pressure is rising as hundreds of thousands of people come out into the streets each night. Local rulers, appointed by China, are demanding that the protests stop, but nobody is listening. And they don’t seem especially concerned that Chinese tanks will come rolling in like they did in Tiananmen Square in 1989.

I think they know that there is strength in numbers — and that unlike in 1989, when the word ‘Internet’ did not exist in its current mode of usage — a government cannot just get away with that kind of massacre without serous consequences. In other words, now everyone knows that everyone is watching.

Presently there is a deadlock between protest organizers and local authorities, who are unwilling to negotiate with one another. Organizers know that if they give up the struggle without real concessions from the government, nobody will ever take them seriously again.

The Chinese government knows that if they come in and create a bloodbath, it will be big, it will be ugly and it will create global outrage.

Yet the deadlock-breaking qualities of the Full Moon will be especially strong with the upcoming total lunar eclipse conjunct Uranus on Oct. 8. The scenario is likely to have its biggest shift at that point, with an unexpected outcome due to the combination of Uranus and the eclipse.

Notably, with the eclipse at 15+ Aries, that is close to the Aries Point, it’s aspecting the critical degrees of the Thema Mundi (15+ cardinal) and we are likely to have some kind of global event at that time.

Here is what the chart looks like, cast for Hong Kong.
