Rodrigo DUTERTE and PLUTO, another kind of power HEALING POLITICS Born March 28 1945, at 2:00 AM, Maasin Philippines, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte manifests an initiating, pioneering energy. He is independent, bold, courageous, assertive, fiery, inspirational, direct, decisive. He can be egotistical, impulsive, impatient, aggressive, lacking subtlety but with a heart of gold -- Carmen Pedrosa on Rody Duterte

Rody Duterte is not perfect. He is as flawed as any of us Filipinos. But given the situation in the country today of unpunished crime and rampant graft running amok, he is the right man to put the country back on the right path.

He is a strong Aries man. His Sun in Aries on 7 Aries is close to the Philippine Moon in Aries, indicating a karmic link. His Sun in 2nd house of values (material and spiritual values) –may be seen as healing Filipino values with regards to politics. Positively, his initiating, pioneering energy is much needed at this time when the country needs a leader who is independent-minded, bold, courageous, aggressive, fiery, and direct. He only needs to become more subtle, more steady and more decisive. But his fluctuating energy is due to fear of ill health and must be the cause of his lack of decisiveness during his election campaign having a bunch of planets in the 8th House of death- and- rebirth, triggering fear of taking risks that may lead to his untimely demise yet some mysterious force is pushing him to move on, showing him another kind of power -- that he need not fear for he has the ability for hard work and serious, purposeful action. That when applied with tremendous willpower he has the kind of energy to produce a maximum of useful results. He is highly ambitious and will work hard to attain a position of authority and managerial command. Often shrewd in politics he has the quiet yet hammering energy of Mars in favorable trine to Saturn, planet of karma, and destiny that confers on him patience combined with skill and daring in action. He knows that this ability favors those who must shoulder serious responsibilities and gives him the courage to endure hardships, to face when necessary dangerous situations. Under stress there is a high measure of stamina and strength. But what exactly is this other kind of power?

 There’s a new energy that’s coming in, which is miraculous and feminine, the MOON which is well aspected by a series of conjunctions in Duterte’s chart is also prominently well aspected in the Philippine chart. It’s miraculous, it defies the ageing process particularly among Arien Filipinos who have learned to trust in the Divine plan for his salvation, along with Humanity’s. This new energy is fiery and miraculous and gently feminine (read below our invocation to and reply from our Lady of Guadalupe, who is miraculous and feminine. The new energy comes from the Divine Feminine.

Here are words of our Lady of Guadalupe spoken to St Juan Diego on Dec 12, 1531 manifest the new energy. “Hear and let it penetrate into your heart, my dear little son. [Awaken to her addressing your heart] Let nothing discourage you. Do not fear illness or vexation (cancer now can be healed by supplications and natural means) Am I not here who am your mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Are you not in the folds of my mantle, in the crossing of my arms? Is there anything more you need?) A resurgence of the devotion to our Lady of Guadalupe is now occurring in the world coming from Mexico backed up by scientific findings based on our Lady’s picture of apparitions in Mt Tepeyac, Mexico to Juan Diego, a humble working peasant. Our Lady is patroness of both countries Mexico and Philippines with close historical links.

SUN on 7 degrees Aries -- symbol: A feudal lord wearing his armor, the headgear over his eyes, holding a bow and arrow. A wary and cautious conservative, sometimes sluggishly fond of his own groove, his country, often watchful, always endowed with great presence of mind, he will go out of his way to shirk clashes and to dodge risks, and may go so far as to run away altogether from them. Should the worse come to worst he knows how to come out of a scrape by a sudden brainwave or a lightning-like makeshift. This last line determines his victory, and the Shift comprises both a slow physical retreat from danger suddenly catapulting to a swift brainwave shooting like a lightning bolt out of fiery Aries He loves the country and rural life and is a great sportsman. Yet, he hates violence and is a subtle diplomatist. His success in life is assured provided he can stay in his natural abode and avoid the hated novelties. Marriage will be happy, unless other influences point to the contrary. 

MERCURY on 11 Aries 25 -- This degree can apparently produce diametrically opposed effects, which are however to be traced back to the same cause: lack of balance between rights and duties, between one’s own and the others’ dues. If therefore, he is by the rest of his horoscope predisposed to selfishness, his self-conceit will go so far as to make him extravagant and ridiculous. Such are the conflicting features of the Zodiac’s 128th degree (in his chart the biblical passage called ‘‘The Burning Bush’’ where Pluto the powerful planet of death-and-rebirth stands conjunct Pars Fortuna, his joy in consciousness) in 7th house of partners, and supporters, most angular. No wonder his supporters are overwhelming, and they like to call him Tatang Duterte, he certainly likes to be father of his people.

 He is here on a divine mission for regenerating himself as well as his people, the Filipino people. The Burning Bush represents God as you will soon see symbolically described here. Read on. Again: PRRD is a wary and cautious conservative, sometimes sluggishly fond of his groove, Davao, often watchful, always endowed with great presence of mind, he will go out of his way to shirk clashes and dodge risks, and may go so far as to run away altogether from them (Neptune in 8th house of death conjunct Chiron, trine Uranus in 4th house).

 Should the worse come from the worst he knows how to come out of a scrape by a sudden brainwave or a lightning-like makeshift. Wow, can you beat that? That’s an act of God that is granted Duterte similar to that escape from captivity cum/slavery of the Israelites led by Moses when they were chased by the Pharaoh's Egyptian armies when God parted the waves of the Red Sea as it were at the wink of his eye. So you can see how the alchemy of the law of transfer of supernatural energy to Digong Duterte. a mere mortal, manifests a miraculous act of coming out of a scrape or a tight situation by a sudden brainwave or a lightning-like makeshift to make him together with his people escape a catastrophe preventing the country from drowning into the murky depths of the sea of uncontrolled proliferation of drugs, victimizing the youth, the future of the country. They may be or a number of them are slowly dying, causing others to be terrorized, to be killed in cross current, if not attended to be healed.  
     
How does PRRD’s own “burning bush” given in his birthchart's 7th house of loyal supporters  apply
to him ?   First and foremost he, Rody Duterte needs to battle with his own demons cycling within his psyche.  He has first to know who he is and why he has been chosen to lead his country. Definitely, and maybe,  he is a mystery to himself and to others particularly in one area: how to distinguish his rights from his duties causing diametrically opposed effects which can be traced as always to a lack of balance between rights and duties, a battle that's fought by every human, but in the case of the one that leads a country and its people, the enormity of the effects of diametrically opposed values, is hard to conceive. For the leader Duterte who's born symbolized by Aries the Ram he must choose either to run away into the woods or ram his bloody antler-head against a tremendous thicket of obstacles symbolic of evil forces politically in collusion arrayed against him, he must overcome them for the sake of his subjects or be trammeled.  Should he, on the contrary, tend towards altruism or unselfishness, he would be done for, he cannot move, he cannot fight. But he is born to fight the evils of the world as he is by human nature, a conservative. Like Trump of the great country America, he is a Conservative, he must conserve his God's creation, though at times his idea of the Creator does not entirely coincide with the church's fundamentals. Being born Aquarius Rising, he may be an agnostic, but definitely he knows the Creator of all life wants him to protect the lives of those entrusted in his care, living in a land of great riches, natural resources with a Panatag shoal plus others to protect, and now suddenly rising out of the ocean within the country's territorial limits, comes an incredible Benham Rise, another great mass of land super rich in natural gas and minerals beside Luzon island. A sign that we are in a large space, part of a sunken broken-up continent with the peaks of mountains jotting out as islands?  Mystery of mysteries.

 Back to the mysteries of Duterte's mind, we are in an open forum attempting to analyze how he can attain balance between rights and duties to carry out a mandate from the Divine super being who's in charge of all the living as well as the dead. The rest of the pattern will show in which of the two senses-- rights and duties, there will be exaggeration. Potentially, both excesses are present, and their expression may sometimes alternate. If Tatang Duterte allows his ego to dominate his higher self he may set in a grotesque and harmless way, as well as prove really evil, and slander all others by cursing them for rendering so much trouble to the President of the land.   But Moon conjunct Jupiter on 26 Virgo gives him a profound mind able to foreshadow ages to come, very remote events seem to be within his ken or understanding, yet no light helps it to see nearer things, on which he may stumble at any step. Any arbitrage or game of hazard is a sure trap for the native who will on the other hand succeed with certainty in all undertakings ruled by logic and method with a lot of commonsense.

      To the mild natured people born under this sign the warning can be given that indiscriminate generosity is not goodness, but weakness; that to yield to the first comer and to resign one’s own duties towards oneself and resign one’s human dignity is not strength. Weakness and submissiveness are vices so great as the virtues they pervert. The lopsidedness and disproportion of Mercury in Aries’ 11th degree may extend their influence to the body and render it crippled or misshapen. Apart from this, the features will be fine and delicate, beauty being not at all excluded; on the contrary a beautiful face can often go with faulty limbs if female. In astrophysics numbers have meaning, eleven stands for duality, the twins that are separate in consciousness, one is conservative, the other is too liberal inclining to radicalism. Both impulses may reside in the same person yet balance will preserve unity amid diversity and reverence for life, to save mankind. Both Duterte of the Philippines and Trump of the United States shine through their creativity in putting together unlikely elements to create effective surprise -- the sort of surprise which makes the explosion of a recognition inside us, making us utter in disbelief, Yes. of course! People who create effective surprise who make their own story, are no longer bound by the walls of separation and conservation around them.

VIRGO STRONG Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic. CHIRON 29 Virgo 42 retrograde – Sincerity and love of truth as implied by this degree can only belong to an irresponsible being or to a great sage or a Man of Wisdom, which is really apparent in PRRD. While talking, he will tell anybody the truth, and will consider no price too high when it comes to discovering it. The price may even be mental sanity. Probably more our sanity the readers’ or observers who are inclined to be more attracted to their comfort zone, luxury or to appearances. For example, President Duterte advised his staff not to hide the image of existing poverty in the country during the Miss Universe pageant; let the true picture of the vast economic imbalance between rich and poor greet the incoming flow of international beauty candidates.   In the case of diplomats coming for brief state visits the same principle of keeping true to form applies, and not to appearances. He took distinct pleasure in taking the Prime Minister of Japan to his native town Davao to partake of his native culture like eating durian, definitely no steak for dinner at Malacanang in Manila and Davao. And yes to sleeping under a kulambo a mosquito net on the night of the minister's stay with his wife. Work is done by leaps and bounds, overwork is not shunned and, as others throw themselves headlong into pleasure, he may go into spells of meditation for whole nights or even undertake risky experiments of witchcraft or yoga or that modern form of necromancy which is today blasphemously labeled as “spiritualism.” But as he is conservative in character that would not apply to him. Should the whole of the pattern show balance and self-control, this bold explorer would then have access to the mysteries of true spiritual science, the one arising from the heart, he easily gets teary eyed visiting soldiers who are dead or dying on line of duty, or crying at his mother’s tomb after getting elected president of republic, imagine the enormous duty or responsibility that it carries, but not to the so-called official sciences. His intelligence is sharp. His character melancholy but smooth, his habits secretive and lonely. The need of avoiding mental overload must be borne in mind. Where on the contrary other factors point to a less sound whole, wounds in the head, cerebral hemorrhages followed by palsy, maniac depressive folly, deaf, dumbness or neurasthenia are to be feared. Dangerous strains like extravagance may show up in the character. These are certainly extreme cases, which had however to be prospected as caution is never too great when health is at stake. Miracles arrive though for the unsteady warrior king to keep him well and strong. A courteous, friendly, likable talker and a persuasive reasoner, he will inspire devoted affections and especially sincere friendships. The disinterested support and loyal cooperation of others, rather than his own methods but wingless and excessively long-sighted intelligence, will allow him to reach his aim, at least after going through some ordeals. Take note of his methods described here as “wingless and excessively long-sighted intelligence will allow him to reach is aim” after going through some ordeals. Yet he couldn’t have done it without the “disinterested” support and loyal cooperation of others. As to his private life, he will be happier in ripe age than youth and will close his days surrounded by his children’s obedient affection and unanimous solidarity. 

Aspects of the MOON: Moon quincunx Mercury, conjunct Jupiter, conjunct Neptune, conjunct Chiron, the wounded healer. Take note of where the dots are connected… His birth pattern, destiny pattern is incredible JUPITER on 20 Virgo 45 retrograde -- he is not utterly devoid of fairness, but cannot unfortunately afford to live at peace with those who hold different views from his own. A very courageous being and one conscious of his own strength, he is not so happy in victory as in the fight. Shunning a quarrel would be a dishonor to him. If a brawl is in the air, he cannot even wait for the probable opponent to attack him first, and is bound to provoke him. He seems especially keen on picking up quarrels with foreigners. While ignoring the meaning of such an expression of “getting round obstacles” he nearly always succeeds in overthrowing them. A good tradesman and mathematician, wakeful and brimming over with initiative, he may become rich thanks to his intelligence and courage, but will not be able to escape mishaps, but miraculously escapes serious ones. For all his watchfulness, which may drift into paranoia or suspiciousness, he will always be beset by lowly and despicable foes, who will lurk cautiously in the dark, and refuse to disarm. But again, he has divine protection While ignoring the meaning of such an expression of “getting round obstacles,” he nearly always succeeds in overthrowing them.

A healing energy for politics.   3RD STRONG The Third House is about communication. It also refers to early learning, siblings, immediate environment and short journeys.

Other exoteric and esoteric keywords include: Transformation and regeneration, resources of others, sexuality, death, transmutation, battles, the Path of discipleship.

 MOON on 26 VIRGO in 8th House, conjunct Jupiter A profound mind able to foreshadow ages to come, but not to lay concrete plans for the morrow. Very remote events seem to be within his ken or understanding yet no light may influence things to come, he will strive to conform to his principles – whether scientific, religious or artistic – but his own uncompromising purposefulness may stray into self-centeredness and misanthropy, but not hardness of heart. Moon conjunct Jupiter is an aspect that confers sympathy and generosity. The native's wish is to do good to others. If he wants to be remembered for anything after he is gone he says it is this… that he wanted to do good to his people. The concern for social justice yields a return of good karma, consequently, they are usually trusted—especially by women – and receive the cooperation and help of others. If well aspected the conjunction confers honesty, integrity, and business ability. There are only mild negative aspects to Venus, Ascendant, and a semisquare to Midheaven from Moon. 

BALANCE OF QUADRANTS Scores: 1st Quadrant 9; 2nd Quadrant 2; 3rd Quadrant 6; 4th Quadrant 0 1ST QUADRANT STRONG. He sees himself as an independent individual, capable of organizing his own life. He could be self-centered. The planets in this quadrant will highlight the areas of life in which he wants to express himself. 

BALANCE OF HEMISPHERES Scores: Eastern 9; Northern 11; Western 8; Southern 6 The hemispheres are balanced in this chart. AQUARIUS ON 1ST HOUSE CUSP PRRD’s approach to life is gregarious and unconventional, original and objective. He views life from an intellectual stance. He need not become too scathing of the intuitive and emotional side of life, which covers Religion, man’s heartfelt need for the Divine Source of light and love, the occasional need to follow rules. PISCES ON 2ND HOUSE CUSP Duterte may feel confused about money matters and have difficulty making both ends meet. He values his sense of compassion, his concern for the needy. Neptune rules the heart, ruler of Pisces conjunct Chiron on 29 Virgo 42 in flowing trine to Uranus in angular 4th house of the soul's foundation, on 9 Gemini 47, Gemin rules duality. He has undoubtedly formidable and persuasive or seductive powers a strong character, a hard worker’s temper and can weave and unravel plots. Like Alexander Dumas, who had reached perfection in his system for appropriating other people’s work, he will lead, correct, reform, giving finishing touches and collect royalties. He will not feel diminished if he gives away royalties, funds have been appropriated for government infrastructure such as roads and long span bridges connecting islands as well as to salary raises for long neglected public school teachers and ailing military veterans, free schooling, and health services. He receives sudden intuitions on how to expand and utilize his present knowledge to further improve the status quo, with Uranus sextile Pluto bringing about revolutionary changes in the environment. He makes discoveries in science and metaphysics, actively seeking higher knowledge and understanding of intuitive revelations. Uranus in positive trine to Neptune indicates sudden and unexpected good fortune for him, because there’s more to it where it comes from... From heaven, one can surmise, that he is intuitively creative and have original ways of doing things, being generally happy, having many friends, and exciting adventures created by alchemical ties between him and the Source, for the source is infinite. This is where that “black magic” talk is all about. It’s not black after all but white magic with probably shades of grey.

ARIES ON 3RD HOUSE CUSP He is a fast-talker. He is better at initiating ideas and communications, rather than following through.

TAURUS ON 4TH HOUSE CUSP He is a reliable and responsible family member. He values his home and family, particularly the family traditions. Home may reflect his earthy and sensual nature preserving the national traditions and culture.

URANUS on 9 GEMINI 47 – Symbol: The good Samaritan succors the Jew whom the highwaymen have beaten within an inch of his life. A great heart and inspired with the wish to help mankind. Sympathy for the poor and the sick is apt to take concrete shape, and there is a sincere wish to succor and heal social misery. The reverse of the coin consists in the delusion of reaching such aims with merely material means. Should the horoscope not bear the imprint of a deeply religious spirit, and uncannily it does,  the native, acting on purely human grounds, will stick to the fad that vice and crime can be fought by spreading well-being and strengthening the police forces. In a word, a well-meaning, well-fed, well-bred humdrum middle-class fellow, whose limited mental powers will not prevent delving deep into medicine and political economies, to pursue his ambitions, but charitable aims. Luck may smile on this good fellow and lavish him the means to carry out his beneficent plans later in life. Aspects of Uranus in Gemini in 4th House of beginning and end of life – Sun sextile Uranus, trine Neptune, sextile Pluto, involving all major octaves or higher consciousness planets,  trine Ascendant in Aquarius

GEMINI ON 5TH HOUSE CUSP A trickster. He likes to play, especially games that amuse his quick-thinking mind. SATURN on 4 CANCER 16 -- Symbol: Walpurgis night The challenge to the existing spiritual order will reach here its uttermost degree. True, this is why Duterte has been sent to wage war against drugs that serve to magnify all kinds of orgiastic intoxicants feeding an orgiastic temper, a defiant impiety in himself he needs also to transform (for example, his cursing the Pope whose visit in the land had caused heavy traffic for which he sent his apology later to the Vatican).

CANCER ON 6TH HOUSE CUSP He likes to take care of loved ones on a daily basis. He finds routine comforting and safe. 

NORTH NODE on 14 Cancer 42 -- He will unaccountably be laden with titles, honors and benefices in spite of his feeling of unworthiness, as he will be able to hide his slow wits, although this will be contradicted or neutralized by other laudable merits on his own turf …already covered in this chart analysis.

LEO ON 7TH HOUSE CUSP He is an enthusiastic and generous partner. He likes to have fun in his relationships and gets bored if they lack life and romance, needing to have attention from his loved one. PLUTO on 8 LEO 1 retrograde -- Symbol: “The Burning Bush” (As Above so Below. Principles from the “Emerald Tables.”) R.Levi’s “Dogma and Ritual of High Magic”. In a highly spiritual horoscope this degree’s influence will endow him with the power of heavenly fire surging forth with unquenchable, unsullied and all-consuming ardor. Its light will be hidden from the sight of the unworthy and may even stay invisible to most eyes or escape notice altogether.

 In the bush blazing with unearthly flame, much too human beings will fail to see the light of the Absolute and will only be alive to the fact that the thorns in the bush sting anyone attempting to violate its mystery. Here I would refer you to the one who owns this horoscope which contains this biblical passage of the Burning Bush from the holy book, regarding the time when Moses was given the Tablet of the Ten Commandments by the Divine to the people below the Mount Sinai in Egypt where they took refuge at a time of war. This story is followed by the great miracle called the “Parting of the Red Sea”, when the Egyptian Pharaoh’s armies were pursuing the people led by Moses out of their captivity, and the people WERE ABLE TO ESCAPE, for such is the Will of God for the Israelites led by Moses. PRRD of the Philippines can likewise lead his people out of the evils of drug addiction and the tremors shaking the foundations of our socio-political society borne by corruption at this chaotic time. Back to the huge miracle of the Escape from Egypt’s captivity of the Israelites thru the Parting of the waves of the Red Sea now confirmed to have actually happened in scientific reports.

 See photos in the news media. Back to the encounter of Moses with the Holy One hidden behind the Burning Bush, a bush that was seen wrapped in blazing flames but was not consumed by it. At this point while Moses was walking in the ground of the Sinai mountain a Voice boomed from behind the burning bush, calling him: “Remove your sandals, you are treading on sacred ground”. This encounter with the Divine speaks of the fact that one is expected to be clean and chaste as he is in the Holy Presence. That's another clue to the mystery why Digong Duterte is the chosen one to lead us to the promised future of a great land of a lost continent MU. To those previously unacquainted with Mu, which the sages call, "the cradle of humanity" Mu developed into a supercivilization, but this will take another story, an epic of mankind.
