France Encircled by Flames: Explosion - the Harsh "T-Square"

We are hearing about the latest developments in France, where a massive wave of student protests and demonstrations is currently unfolding. This wave has led to the blockade of hundreds of schools, thousands of arrests, and severe clashes with the police. It is one of the largest student explosions in recent years, which began in mid-September in the Parisian suburbs and has now expanded across the entire country.

We see on the astrological chart that a T-square has been activated, peaking at the Mars-Uranus conjunction and Pluto, along with a second, parallel T-square formed by Pluto, Saturn, and Jupiter.

Transiting Jupiter is sitting right on the country's natal Uranus in the 10th house, a fact that clearly reflects the situation: Uranus brings sudden tensions and a revolutionary mood, while Pluto triggers violence within the country (4th house). These events are taking on massive proportions (Jupiter), making them visible to the whole world (10th house). At the same time, the 10th house shows the intense problems the government is facing (Uranus/10th house).

This situation will not defuse easily; on the contrary, it will continue and expand. Jupiter will station retrograde at the 27th degree of Leo, affecting France's natal Mars for a long period of time. This means that the crisis will escalate, and we might see heavy repression and violence from the authorities and the police (Mars). The most dangerous period will be when transiting Mars passes through this point, fully activating the T-square. We have a lot more to see.
Additionally, Mars is the time-lord (chronocrator) of this period, which gives it double significance. Thus, the 6th house is activated (security forces, daily life, public services, the working class), where we expect to experience many explosive situations. Meanwhile, Pluto is affecting natal Jupiter, bringing to light infamy, speculation, and scandals involving the country (1st house), which will heavily occupy the media (3rd house) as well as the youth. Furthermore, through the square to natal Saturn, we see repression, violence, and restriction, as the Saturn-Pluto axis is the axis of dictatorship, repression, and collective restriction.
At the same time, transiting retrograde Venus will form a square to Pluto, while Mercury (representing youth) will also enter the configuration later on. This shows us that things will not calm down; instead, greater violence and repression are expected (Pluto), as well as the probability of several casualties.

Paris

Moreover, the Venus square may bring financial difficulties, as well as rifts in partnerships and alliances (7th house). At the same time, tensions and problems are expected in the healthcare system, as well as in institutions and vulnerable social groups, such as immigrants (12th house).

Horary Astrology and Event Chart: Political Trends for the Spanish Elections Political Upheaval in Spain – The Elections

We chose this horary question following the snap elections announced by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.

Pedro Sánchez temporarily remains at the helm of the country. According to the official announcements on October 5, 2026, he proceeded to call snap elections, leading the country to the polls after the parliament rejected government measures regarding the housing crisis. The snap elections in Spain will take place on Sunday, November 29, 2026. In this country, the polls traditionally open at 09:00 AM and close exactly at 8:00 PM local time. According to current polling data and betting odds for the upcoming elections on November 29, 2026, the People's Party (PP), led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, is considered the heavy favorite to win the most seats.

This is the horary chart, and we asked who will ultimately emerge victorious in this showdown.

HORARY CHART

Since we are inquiring about a foreign country, we will work with derived houses. Specifically, the 1st house represents us (the querent) and the 9th house represents the foreign country. The current prime minister of the foreign country is shown by the 10th derived house from the 9th—meaning the radical 6th house—while his main opponent is shown by the 7th derived house from the 6th, which is the radical 12th house. It should be noted that Sánchez is still the incumbent prime minister and has not resigned. Therefore, our significators are:

Mars is the Prime Minister of the country, whom we see high in the Midheaven sitting on his "throne". Venus (the opponent) is in the 1st house, retrograde in Scorpio. Since the 1st house is the 2nd derived house from the 12th, Mars also represents the allies and supporters of the opponent. Both significators do not portend positive developments for the people, as both the one and the other harm them. What a shame!

Nevertheless, the Moon (the electorate) is placed in the 10th house, and the first aspect it forms—having already aspected the Ascendant—is with this Venus. These might also be the seats they will receive. This element indicates a high probability of a victory for Alberto Núñez Feijóo. At the same time, another important element is that the Sun (ruler of the radical 10th house) is in the detriment of Mars and the exaltation of Venus, while the Sun itself is in its fall, a fact that very characteristically describes the current situation of the country's prime minister.

Election Chart

Looking at the chart for election day, and given that Feijóo is considered the favorite and Sánchez the underdog, meaning Mercury (ruler of the 7th house). By the evening when the polls close, the Moon will have reached 18 degrees of Leo. This position "points to" the Sun, the Sun in turn points to Jupiter, and the last aspect the Moon will form before the polls close will be a trine to the Ascendant (which represents the favorite).

In Feijóo's natal chart, we see his 1st house (personality, radiance) activated. Jupiter in Leo is on his Ascendant and in conjunction with Uranus (sudden, heaven-sent luck).

At the same time, Uranus is currently transiting his 10th house. This means that, in some way, his 10th house is being activated. The Moon has already "caught" Venus (ruler of the 10th house), while the Ascendant of election day forms a trine to his natal Ascendant. Finally, from the profections, the timelords of the year are Saturn along with Jupiter.

Transit Carth and Birth 

In summary of all the above astrological data, the chart clearly reflects the intense political trends and dynamics shaping up ahead of November 29, 2026. The indicators and activations we examined offer a strong initial picture of the climate surrounding the showdown; however, the astrological analysis of such a critical electoral battle does not stop here. We await the developments in Spain with great interest, and we will return very soon with a detailed examination of the natal chart of the prime minister, Pedro Sánchez. There, we will thoroughly study his own trends and personal transits, so that we can have a complete and comprehensive view of what the future holds.

Alberto Núñez Feijóo - Leader of the People's Party (PP) of Spain

Alberto Núñez Feijóo is the leader of the People's Party (PP) of Spain and the main political opponent of Pedro Sánchez.

According to current polling data and betting odds for the upcoming elections on November 29, 2026, the People's Party (PP) is considered the grand favorite to win the most seats.

Born on 10/09/1961 in Ourense, Galicia, Spain, Feijóo has a New Moon in Virgo and in the 2nd house. Virgo is associated with the working class, organization, and labor. Its ruler, Mercury, is in Libra, conjunct Mars and in the 3rd house. This placement strongly highlights his communication skills, speech, and writing, while the presence of Mars there lends him dynamism and sharpness. At the same time, due to the influence of Libra, he strives to maintain balance and keeps his speech highly diplomatic.

But let's look at his chart in more detail and see how the transits are affecting him.

The New Moon in Virgo in the 2nd house: Virgo governs the working class, service, organization, and detail.

In the 2nd house (finances, resources, values): The New Moon in this position gives him the mindset of an "accountant" or a crisis manager. He is not the leader who will captivate the crowds with grand words, but the one who will present balance sheets, charts, and practical solutions for the economy (a trait that, after all, characterized him as a successful administrator in Galicia).

Mercury and Mars in Libra in the 3rd house:
The Mercury-Mars conjunction in Libra constitutes his communication "weapon."
Dynamism & Diplomacy: Mars (action, assertion) in Libra (balance, justice) is "forced" to wear a suit. Thus, his speech (3rd house) turns into a "velvet glove." He possesses the sharpness to launch political attacks, but he does so in such a diplomatic and civilized manner that it is difficult for anyone to accuse him of extremism. In this way, he always tries to maintain balance both within his party (PP) and in the country.

The North Node in Leo in the 1st house: A Karmic Lesson
The Lesson: His South Node in Aquarius (in the 7th house of partnerships) makes him feel secure when hiding behind groups, parties, systems, and "circles" with common interests. This represents the impersonal, cool, and technocratic element of his personality.
The Challenge of Leo: The North Node in the 1st house in Leo asks him to step forward as an autonomous personality. He is called to become the "King" (Leo), to assume power personally, to employ passion and warmth, and to speak to the heart of each citizen individually—not generally to the masses. This is, after all, the reason he is often accused of being a "boring technocrat," because he is still struggling to integrate the warmth and charisma of Leo.

Uranus on the Ascendant (Leo): Although Feijóo appears entirely systemic, Uranus in the 1st house (near the Ascendant) gives him an underlying eccentricity and the ability to make unexpected turnarounds when under pressure. It pushes him to abruptly break away from the past (as the ruler of the South Node) if he realizes it no longer serves him. Furthermore, the fact that Uranus is the ruler of the South Node and is conjunct the North Node means he can easily "marry" the old with the new, utilizing his pre-existing talents in order to express his North Node in the best possible way.

Venus in the 12th house square Neptune: Hidden Charm and Delusions
Venus in Leo (in the exaltation of Neptune) in the 12th house (a hidden house, behind the scenes, and a house ruled by Neptune) acts as the final ruler of his Mercury and Mars.
· What this means: He has the ability to charm (Venus/Neptune) but also to deceive or conceal (12th house). His communication can become extremely foggy when he wants to avoid a pitfall. There is a tendency not to show all his cards or to lead others into delusions, creating an image that does not correspond 100% to reality.

Transit of Jupiter: Could this be the Karmic Rendezvous with Power?
From the perspective of transits, Feijóo seems to have unique opportunities to dynamically emerge into the spotlight. Transiting Jupiter is moving through his 1st house, where it not only activates his Ascendant but also forms a catalyst-conjunction with his natal North Node and Uranus. This astrological condition is a clear sign of a major, sudden turnaround and radical change, bringing him face-to-face with the grand karmic lesson he is called to experience and integrate during this very period.
This event gains even greater weight on election day, as Jupiter will be located exactly at that point. In fact, it will station right on top of his natal Uranus before turning retrograde. The stationing of the planet of expansion and luck (station) on top of a planet of turnarounds (Uranus) turns things upside down.
This confirms that the time has come for him to receive his great lesson, which is defined by the North Node in Leo: the assumption of personal leadership and power. Since the North Node represents an energy unknown to us—an area we have not conquered and must learn in this lifetime—Jupiter's station there shows that the universe is pushing him forcefully, yet protectively, to leave behind the safety of the technocrat and claim his "throne."

At the same time, transiting Uranus is in his 10th house (which concerns career, social standing, and legacy) and forms a trine aspect with his natal Mercury in the 3rd house (the house of communication, speech, and intellect).
This combination allows him to present something entirely unconventional and pioneering, overturning the facts established until now. Although the eccentric nature of his ideas may initially shock or surprise the public, this very "difference" is what will magnetize attention, establishing him as an authentic and innovative voice in his field.

We will discover all of this definitively at the ballot boxes of the elections on November 29.

The Crisis in Spain, Housing, and the Gradual Deconstruction of Europe

The immigration crisis is directly linked to this month's lunar cycle, as it profoundly impacts Europe’s two pillars: its borders and its economy. Recent events in Ceuta (the Spanish enclave in North Africa) serve as a stark manifestation of this reality, demonstrating how geopolitical pressure gradually reverberates across the entire continent.

Chart of Spain

In Spain's alternative chart (November 22, 1975) —widely utilized by astrologers as it marks Juan Carlos’s ascension to the throne, the transition to democracy, and the country's deep Plutonian capacity for rebirth through crises— transiting Pluto is now square natal Uranus in the 9th house (governing immigration and foreign affairs), while also triggering natal Saturn (evoking themes of repression, dictatorship, and collective restriction).

The European Union and the New Moon

• Diplomatic Shortcomings: The New Moon in the 3rd house (in the sign of Libra) highlights the failure of the EU’s efforts to project a cooperative, egalitarian, and fair image. Treaties and border-control agreements signed with neighboring nations are proving fragile against real-world pressures.
• The Spanish Paradigm: A prime example is the collapse of Spain's bilateral agreements with Morocco. Despite heavy European funding and diplomatic deliberations, the sudden influx of thousands of migrants proved that bureaucratic paperwork cannot stem the tide at the borders.

New Moon

• The Taurus-Scorpio Axis: Taurus rules land, territorial integrity, and tangible security, whereas Scorpio governs high finance, hidden agendas, and systemic crises. This Full Moon brings a harsh truth to light: Europe is forced to allocate massive financial resources (Scorpio) toward strict enforcement and infrastructure, while everyday citizens feel their personal financial stability and livelihood (Taurus) under siege.
• The Housing Crisis: A direct reflection of the public's reaction (Taurus) is the housing crisis in Spain, which has driven thousands to the streets. Rents have nearly doubled over the past decade. The tipping point was the violent eviction of an 87-year-old woman in Madrid, sparked by a conglomerate purchasing her building and demanding a staggering 275% rent increase.
• Pluto Pushing the Masses: Pluto’s transit through Aquarius (the sign representing the collective, social movements, and human rights) acts as a catalyst, driving social undercurrents to absolute extremes.
• Declining Political Leadership: Because transiting Pluto forms a harsh square to the European Union's natal Sun, this intense pressure targets those in power. We are already witnessing heads of state falter. In Spain, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez was forced to navigate snap elections, losing political leverage due to the volatile combination of the housing shortage and the immigration crisis.
• A Fundamental Shift for Europe: This astrological alignment shakes the very foundations of the European Union. Pluto exposes systemic flaws, signaling that Brussels can no longer effortlessly impose its mandates on member states. The rise of nationalism and intra-state friction are not random events; they are the direct symptoms of a profound pressure driving Europe into an existential identity crisis.

The Full Moon

Full Moon

• Borders (4th House) as a Geopolitical Battlefield: Scorpio governs covert power plays and crises. Under Pluto's relentless pressure, immigration is weaponized into a tool for political leverage. This forces Europe into a critical dilemma: maintain its progressive, humanitarian ideals (Aquarius) or resort to draconian containment measures (Scorpio).

Ultimately, Pluto is forcing a radical metamorphosis upon the European Union—demanding that its outdated structures "die" so that a new entity can emerge. Whether the Union adapts or disintegrates depends entirely on its capacity to endure this harsh, transformative pressure.

Christa Gail Pike - Colleen Slemmer-True crime case

I recently read about the case of Christa Gail Pike and the murder of Colleen Slemmer in 1995. Behind the shocking brutality of the crime lies one of the most extreme, neglected, and abused backgrounds ever recorded in the judicial chronicles of the US.

Christa Gail Pike

The execution of Christa Pike (now 50 years old) was scheduled for September 30, 2026. If carried out, it would have been the first execution of a woman in Tennessee in more than 200 years. However, the process turned into a thriller.

Failed Execution: On the scheduled date, an attempt was made to put her to death by lethal injection. After two failed attempts to administer the drugs, Pike did not pass away.

The Crime (January 12, 1995)

Christa Pike, then 18 years old, her boyfriend Tadaryl Shipp (17 years old), and their friend Shadolla Peterson (18 years old) were classmates at Job Corps (a vocational training program for vulnerable youth) in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Pike mistakenly believed that 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer was trying to "steal" her boyfriend. The three of them lured Slemmer to an isolated wooded area. There, Pike and Shipp brutally tortured her for about 30 minutes. They beat her, cut her with a box cutter (in fact, they carved a pentagram on her chest), and Pike killed her by striking her in the head with a piece of asphalt.

Systematic Sexual and Physical Abuse

From childhood: Christa Pike began suffering sexual abuse from the age of 2 to 5 by her grandmother's partner. As she grew older, the abuse continued by various individuals in her family and social environment.
Violent rapes: At the age of 11, she was raped by a neighbor. At her 17 years, just one year before the crime, a stranger grabbed her on the street and brutally raped her. The police never arrested the perpetrator, and Pike was left without any psychological support.
Physical cruelty: She frequently endured beatings from her relatives, including an aunt and her mother's partner, who also sexually abused her.

Abandonment and Juvenile Facilities 

Her mother suffered from severe alcoholism (in fact, Pike was born with organic brain damage due to her mother's alcohol use during pregnancy). Due to complete parental abandonment, social services moved her to various institutions.

Today, the State of Tennessee itself no longer disputes that Pike endured all this horror. Legal experts emphasize that if she were tried today, with the modern understanding of childhood trauma and the brain development of an 18-year-old, she would never be sentenced to death.

From the transit of that day, I see that a grand trine is created in her chart. 

Transiting Venus and Mercury, inside the natal 9th house (house of God), form a trine with the natal Moon and natal Mercury, as well as a conjunction with natal Uranus.

Venus rules the natal 8th house, and if we take Cancer as the 1st house, the 8th house becomes Aquarius (Saturn/Uranus). Saturn is in opposition to Pluto inside the 8th house, which is in Libra! I consider that Saturn "froze" and prevented the death. Also, from secondary progressions, the Moon activates Venus, while the Chronocrator for this year is also Venus. This progressed Venus is precisely on top of her natal Jupiter, constituting a powerful indication of protection and luck... but Neptune, as the dispositor of her Sun, receives a trine from Saturn. Neptune also functions protectively, just like Jupiter.

What has essentially troubled me in this entire case is the physical and sexual abuse this child experienced from the very first years of her life (I read that from the age of 2 to 5, her grandmother’s partner on her mother's side was sexually abusing her), the neglect, the abusive family environment she lived in until she was 17, the institutions, and of course, all her years that ended up being spent growing up inside prison. In other words, I see it as a social phenomenon as well, because children are not born murderers; upbringing and the family environment play a major role in how a person's character and personality can be shaped.

Greece vs Netherlands: What the stars say about the epic battle at Toumba (Thessaloniki)

The Greek National Team's match against the Netherlands for the UEFA Nations League will take place this Thursday, October 1, 2026, at 21:45.

The National Team has made a stunning start with 2 wins out of 2 in the group (2-1 victories over Serbia and 1-0 over Germany), sitting in 1st place with 6 points, compared to the Netherlands' 4.

Astrological chart for the Greece vs Netherlands match - AstroMytistic

If Greece wins, they will reach 9 points, pulling 5 points clear of the Dutch and becoming the absolute favorite to capture first place in their League A group.

The Netherlands has been one of our worst "bogeymen" in recent years. In the Euro 2024 qualifiers, they beat us twice (3-0 in Eindhoven and 0-1 in Athens with a 90th-minute penalty by Van Dijk), denying us direct qualification.

The Astrological Chart of the Match

Therefore, in this event chart—which is drawn based on the exact time and location of the match—I apply a specific approach: since the Netherlands is the absolute favorite at this stage and Greece is the underdog, the 1st house represents the Netherlands and the 7th house represents Greece.

Astrological chart for the Greece vs Netherlands match 

Examining the event chart, we notice that the favorite, the Netherlands (1st house), is represented by Mercury, while the underdog, Greece (7th house), is represented by Jupiter.

Almost exactly on the cusp of the 1st house, we find Uranus. This element reveals that the Netherlands might play in an eccentric or highly nervous manner, while also leaving the door open for a sudden upset. Although this alone is not definitive proof of the final outcome (victory or defeat), it is undoubtedly a very significant indicator.

Jupiter (Greece) is located inside the 4th house—which is the 10th derived house from the 7th, representing the prize and victory. While its position there is positive, it would be even more ideal if it were closer to the cusp of the 4th house, as that would clearly offer more hope for a triumph.

Searching for additional favorable elements, we examine the Part of Fortune (using the day formula), which is located at 12°37’ Aquarius. The Part goes and "sits" right on the cusp of the Netherlands' 10th house. This is a difficult sign, initially showing that luck aligns with the favorite. Uranus (the modern ruler) is on the cusp of the ascendant. Furthermore, the traditional ruler of the 10th house, Saturn, is in Aries, making no significant aspects.

However, the Moon holds the key to the upset. The Moon has just passed Saturn, and its final aspect is a sextile with Jupiter (Greece) inside the 4th house. This final aspect is a very strong indication that Greece can rise to the occasion and get the highly desired result!

Although the chart shows that the Netherlands will have the upper hand and control at the beginning, the final indications turn in favor of Greece for the victory. We wish the best of luck to our National Team, hoping they secure the coveted win and become the absolute favorite to win first place in the League A group!

Anaretic Degrees & Dwadasamsas (Part 3): Practical Interpretation with Simple Examples

As we saw in our previous articles, Anaretic Degrees show a "cancellation" or undoing. They mean that something has come to a definitive end so that something brand new can be born (read here for part 1 and here for part 2).

Anaretic Degrees

If we look at history, the word anaireo (αναίρεση) in Ancient Greek also means death. In traditional astrology, the "Anaretic" planet is the one that takes away life. These planets are Mars and Saturn (the two so-called "malefics"). The reason why the very last degrees of the signs are considered so heavy and difficult is precisely because they fall into the Bounds of Mars/Saturn.

The Karmic Side

In Karmic Astrology, however, things take on a whole new meaning. Here, anaretic degrees show a deeply lived, accumulated experience. This is something our soul has experienced over and over again. We know it perfectly, and we have developed an innate, almost inherited talent there.

The problem is that because we feel so safe and comfortable using this sign's energy, we don't want to let it go to move on to the next sign.

Let’s look at a few simple examples:

• 29th degree of Aries: The person has an innate tendency for leadership, risk-taking, adventure, and speed. They know how to act this way; it feels natural. However, they often display too much individualism or aggression because they refuse to leave this energy behind.
• 29th degree of Gemini: There is a huge, natural talent for communication, writing, or trade. The person literally has it in their blood.

Dwadasamsa

But what happens if we misuse these degrees or overindulge in their energy? If we handle this energy negatively, we will face problems not only in that sign and house but also in its dwadasamsa.

The 29th degree of every single zodiac sign always has its dwadasamsa in the exact previous sign!

Let’s look at a very clear example to understand how this works:
Imagine a planet at the 29th degree of Virgo. Its hidden dwadasamsa will fall into Leo (the previous sign).

• The Positive Side (Virgo): The person has an innate, inherited ability for analysis, attention to detail, offering service, and healing.
• The Negative Side & Consequences (Leo): If the person misuses these healing qualities or the services they offer (Virgo), then the problem will "hit" their Leo themes. This means they will face issues with their reputation, visibility, authority, vitality, or even their children. In simple words: Mismanaging Virgo energy will destroy the shine and recognition (Leo) they deserve.

29th degree of Cancer (Dwadasamsa in Gemini)

Let's look at another characteristic case: a planet at the 29th degree of Cancer. Because it is the last degree, its dwadasamsa will be in the previous sign, meaning Gemini.

• The Innate Talent (Cancer): The person has a deep, accumulated experience and talent in matters concerning the family, nurturing others, real estate, inheritance, or patriotism. They know how to protect and provide safety.
• The Trap & Problem (Gemini): If they do not handle these qualities correctly and overindulge (for example, by becoming overly suffocating with their family, possessive about property, or trapped in the past), the problem will show up in Gemini themes.

What does this mean in practice? Mismanaging family or property matters (Cancer) will cause serious communication problems, bad decision-making, issues with contracts and signatures, travel disruptions, or even arguments with siblings (Gemini).

29th degree of Libra (Dwadasamsa in Virgo)

Let’s see an Air sign example: a planet at the 29th degree of Libra. Its dwadasamsa falls, naturally, into the previous sign, which is Virgo.

• The Innate Talent (Libra): The person has a natural gift for relationships, partnerships, justice, and harmony. They know how to bring balance and bridge differences.
• The Trap & Problem (Virgo): If they handle these qualities poorly or do not manage them correctly (for example, by people-pleasing too much to keep a bad relationship, becoming codependent, or tolerating injustice just to keep the peace), they will pay the price in Virgo themes.

In practice, poor management of relationships and partnerships (Libra) will directly affect their health and daily routine. The person will experience intense anxiety, nervousness, and stress, which will often turn into physical symptoms, such as gut or digestive issues (Virgo).

Closing this journey into Anaretic Degrees and Dwadasamsas, we understand that the 29th degree is not a "curse" or just a sign of destruction, as people used to believe in the past.

Yes, it carries the energy of Mars and Saturn, but let’s not forget that Mars/Saturn is also the midpoint of immense endurance. Therefore, it brings pressure and demands a sacrifice—the "death" of an old habit (anaretic degree). However, Karmic Astrology shows us the way: this degree is the point where we are already "masters." We have accumulated so much experience there that all that is left is to use it wisely, without overindulgence and ego.

And don't forget: your dwadasamsa is your hidden guide. Instead of overdoing things and causing problems in our lives, we can look at this hidden sign to understand what it asks of us. The 29th degree does not come to stop us, but to move us forward to the next "chapter" of life.

In which zodiac sign do you have a planet at the 29th degree?
