PHILIPPINE RETURN CHART 2017

IF WE FILIPINOS are afraid of fear we will lose the battle ON illicit drugs.  The Return of the Sun to June 12 1898, is a historic event depicting the Declaration of Philippine Independence by  the revolutionary Katipunan forces against Spain as a colony. This is the birthday of the Republic and as such serves as an annual anniversary to be celebrated.

TRUE the stars do not compel they only impel.  Stress is put on the interior life.  If we have an active, intuitive inner life, we know that we enjoy our time of sleepful indulgence because we apparently lack the vitality and vigor and idealism of Fire to oppose, to fight evil, because it behooves us to tolerate diametrically opposing values.  But upon entering August in the month of LEO this year the tenor changes as Fiery elemental energies come sweeping across the land like the raging forest fires in California to awaken  people spiritually.

How does the fiery element awaken us Filipinos?  With other astrological aspects in the Return annual chart bearing it out, the native who leads the republic will be a deep investigator of Nature and love it from the depths of his soul -- Pres. RRDuterte.  A clever and unrelenting worker, he will be modest and stubborn enough but simple enough without the trappings of intimidating arrogance of oligarchy to shoulder willingly the hard, ungrateful tasks which the majority shuns, though necessary to science and society.

Luck it says here (Lunar North Node on 26 Leo 9 in 12th house) is likely to reward the native's (already mentioned) firmness and practical skill and with well-deserved success. welfare and even renown.  It may be presumptuous to say the Philippines may even lead the world in the fight against the evils of the time... drugs, corruption, global greed for power based on DRUGS, human trafficking or degradation of women and children in pedophile rings.  Think of the Hundredth Monkey Effect..? Already the strategic War of God on evil has begun ...the planets SATURN AND URANUS ARE NOW IN POSITIVE favorable trine aspects, read on.

Trines of Saturn indicate good fortune and lasting success through disciplined creativity and a serious philosophic outlook/ The natives' (referring to Filipinos who are led by Pres Duterte and who support him) high moral conduct inspires confidence and trust in others. While Uranus trines indicate sudden and unexpected good fortune. The natives are intuitively creative and manifest original ways of doing things.  Being generally happy they have many friends and exciting adventures.

For many decades, we the people were losing . Now Uranus a higher octave cosmic body comes up like a high-grown tree under the blast of hurricanes, the image is both symbolic and real in the natural world.

With Lilith the Black Moon posted at the foot of the Mystical Rectangle of security under divine protection we get the 13th degree in Sagittarius  which states: "Ye cannot serve God and Mammon" (Matthew vi, 24; Luke vi, 13)  This zodiac degree glaringly denounce the greed of filthy lucre in   order to achieve wealth, for it is ill-gotten and ill-fated.  This black moon is not a planet but a karmic dot in the sky and it's location completes the Mystical Rectangle which glyph does not show in the chart as composed here.      

But there are less harrowing storms now hitting the Philippines. where the Mystical Rectangle is manifesting as a protective cover or shield against natural or man-made calamities indicative of improved karma or evolutionary growth.  The word "Mystical" refers to the relationship between human beings and God. In the case of Filipinos there seems to be more of it in terms of intensity in relating to the Almighty than most many others though this is debatable, others, meaning peoples inhabiting the earth.  And it's a union with God that goes beyond reason that's why it is called "mystical"  In another article we can explain this more coherently with more feeling that consumes your mind, soul and spirit when in contemplation of God's Majesty, Power and Glory.

      The Grand Trine between LUNAR North Node (purpose of incarnation), SATURN (karma) and URANUS (evolutionary shifting spiral) gives intuitive insight into the working of laws of the universe.  The natives understand the meaning of karma and are, therefore, in a position to structure their lives with this in mind. The positive trine of Saturn to Uranus is now operating through out the world.  The Grand TRine of  Lunar North Node with the powerful trine of Saturn and Uranus in the Philippine
solar return chart is an indication that a well-aspected ARIES MOON in 4th House of roots, family values in flowing positive trines to Saturn and Uranus conjunction in SAGITTARIUS demonstrating the great sacrificial service to mankind overseas by OFWs is now being rewarded by God. Take note of the interplay of planetary energies all in Fiery resonance with Lunar North Node of destiny in Fire sign LEO delivering the purpose of incarnation of a certain group of entities.  A SIGN OF AVATARIC DESCENT ?          
             
Strong willpower of Saturn and Uranus when combined gives the ability to make practical use of creative inspiration.  This aspect is excellent for mathematicians, scientists. astrologers, yogis, and esotericists in general. The natives can control subtle energies in an exact, systematic and scientific way.  For Pinoys it means alchemy through prayers particularly when beset with unspeakable difficulties of adjusting to brutal and unjust alien employers as  well as the disruptive effect of separation from families. So much soulful pain of this kind that blasted them to suffer for the sake of families in the homeland who needed the money earned makes up the stuff of the book we wrote and published titled The Filipino and the World, an astrological study in search of the Filipino Soul.            

In work overseas Filipinos are appreciated for they have a genius for organization. which along with their clear vision and insight, makes them excellent employees (more or less) as well as good executives and coordinators of large projects.

There is also skill in public relations with an understanding of human motivation. For example, Pres. Duterte after his SONA last monday of July 2017 took time out to talk to a big crowd of rallyists, supporters of the Opposition openly against him and his governmental objectives.  This confrontation was naturally uncalled for and may mean danger to his life, but nonetheless Pres Duterte showed a side of his nature that is both fearless and naive yet endearing to the potential rioters and the scene was both surprising rollickingly funny as well as electrifying.  Pres. Digong even teased, kung may armas kayu paputukin na niyo yan  (if you have arms, get them out now)  He continued his banter with 'hurl the grenade, just be sure it's far away from this point...' Ha, ha, the dialogue was nonetheless one-sided...his would-be assailants  must have been floored.  Never has anyone before heard a head of state speak that way in front of rioters. one foreign journalist was heard to remark.


 Aha, I thought this must explain the fact that the "Mystical Rectangle" planetary formation| has appeared in this year\s Solar Return chart which carries the symbolic image of St George who Slays the Dragon, on 10 degrees Aries. right flank of the Four Walls of the Rectangle, a Walled City indicating Security Under Divine Protection... Courage, nay daring: yet the borders of recklessness are skirted.  Let's continue with the symbolic meaning of St George:  Led by a successful ambition, barring signs to the contrary. the native (PRRD) is likely to beat his foes, to reach the highest standing, to attain peerless distinction.  His career will be at any rate exceptional or uncommon.  Furthermore, the natives along with their Chief- in- command will be blessed with an inborn righteousness as well, and with a mind open to truth. Remember this is the annual chart of the nation, indicating ascending collective energies.  Should Filipinos be gifted for  mental work, natural sciences would be their branch.
Should they be sensitive to spiritual forces, they would have the gift of clairvoyance. perhaps of prophesy.


On the Left flank of the Walled City called "the Mystical Rectangle"... we see JUPITER IN SECOND HOUSE OF VALUES which carries the symbolic image of a man a woman turning spitefully their backs to each other. signifying great Presence of Mind.  We notice this special quality in the personal chart of President Duterte. as well as the Good Samaritan. also in the Walls of Mystical Rectangle, which is elaborated in the Duterte birthchart. For ordinary Filipinos this also is visible having the intensity of want as opposed to need in Sun conjunct Pluto and the confused unworldliness of Sun conjunct Neptune in Philippine independence chart for both higher octaves or higher consciousness planets are negatively aspected to the Midheaven, peak of chart.  It's the Moon the divine feminine aspect of the soul, mind and body, personifying the mother. that serves as the Filipino's savior.    
 

PRRD has Aquarius Ascendant which makes him Uranian in his approach to human relations.  This gives Tatang Duterte a strong will and mental independence, insisting on making his own decisions and drawing his own conclusions.  He knows intuitively that he is safe with his own people in an open confrontation since he is one with them in heart and soul  His independent. intellectual mind is bent on discovering the impartial truth. he will discard yesterday's ideas and methods if they cannot be proved scientifically or if they fail to conform to fact.  Direct experience is his final test for determining the truth of any matter.
