A case study for mundane and natal astrology enthusiasts and students through the lens of traditional astrology This book is an astrological analysis of the correlations between major planetary cycles and significant political crises and crossroads in Chilean history from Pinochet to Piñera, Boric, and beyond. In it, you will read about the correlations of:
- Saturn-Jupiter conjunctions and Chile's constitutions
- Saturn-Pluto conjunctions and reigns of terror, beginning with that of Chile's founding father, Bernardo O'Higgins.
- Jupiter-Pluto conjunctions with economic crisis and inequality.
You will also learn about:
- The same planetary transit that coincided with Boric's election and Pinochet surviving his attempted assassination.
- Why, in astrological terms, Piñera and Boric are practically twins.
- How the second round of the presidential election between Boric and Kast marked the final phase of a cycle that began with a Uranus-Saturn conjunction on the day of the plebiscite on Pinochet's rule in 1988
And much more.
In late 2019, with Saturn and Pluto approaching a conjunction in Capricorn, Chile experienced a wave of violent rebellion, repression and retaliation with what ostensibly began as a coordinated demonstration against a rise in metro fares. However, the protests quickly took on an anti-neoliberal tone, coloured by the common public perception that Chile had become a plutocracy tilted in favour of a small elite. The scope of the protests soon expanded to include more general demands for greater economic equality and mobility, pension reform, the resignation of President Piñera and a new constitution. Sadly, the protests were hijacked by anarchists and common criminals and quickly metastasized into a months-long downward spiral of mob violence, vandalism, looting, arson and a general sense of anarchy, all of which seriously debilitated Chile's once robust economy. Chilean democracy, restored when Saturn was last in Capricorn in 1990, was facing its dreaded Saturn return, essentially Father Time's cosmic scythe coming to reap what post-dictatorship rule had sown. This revolt posed an enormous challenge to the ruling elite and, with the gradual intensification of the Saturn-Pluto conjunction, was responded to with increasing repression and violence that resulted in human rights abuses, a common theme of uprisings during Saturn-Pluto conjunctions. President Sebastián Piñera came under scathing criticism for his response, and his ratings sunk to an all-time low of just eight per cent as protesters demanded a new constitution. In mid-November, Chile's rulers announced a referendum on constitutional reform. The vote was scheduled for 26 April 2020 but later postponed to 25 October of the same year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which has only compounded the deaths, fear, economic destruction and misery that began with the riots. For many Chileans, all of this felt like a return to some of the darkest days of Chile's military dictatorship and the chaotic years preceding it; astrologically speaking, it was. This time warp was the culmination of cardinal outer planet cycles involving Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto. These cycles began in 1980 with Saturn and Jupiter entering the cardinal sign of Libra to join Pluto (which had been there since October 1971), ending with the final exit of both Jupiter and Saturn from the cardinal sign of Capricorn in December 2020, and Pluto's definitive ingress into Aquarius in 2024.
