Iraq is threatened by distant country, symbolized with Mars in Aries in the ninth house. Events that happened in history of Republics of Iraq under Bass party and Saddam Hussein rulership are clearly described with this horoscope: authoritarian governance of Pluto in the first house, which successfully oppressed every internal resistance with military force (Pluto trine Mars), constant territorial claims toward neighboring countries (conjunction of Moon – Venus in Taurus in the eleventh house), which finished unsatisfactory (opposition of Saturn with conjunction Moon – Venus) and pan-Arabian idealism of Bass party which was not accepted by other Arabian countries (Uranus in conjunction with Mercury in square with Neptune and in opposition to Chiron). Dynamics of this horoscope doesn’t promise success; ideal way would be really Arabian union according to Bass party original ideals (Moon Nodes from Aries to Libra, from the ninth house to the third), but Mars in conjunction with South Node doesn’t allow tighter connections between Arabian neighbors… It is militant horoscope which will explode into violence with every Mars’ transit; if USA want to control Iraqi people and natural resources, they have to constitute new government, which completely breaks with identity and integrity of still existing country with international status.

Iraq 2005

Transiting Mars in opposition with natal Mars in the ninth house during October and November 2004 will cause new conflicts and stronger use of American military force. Transiting position of Saturn in conjunction with natal Saturn and in square with Mars is extremely bad sign for establishing and maintaining of imposed government, until second half of 2005. Transiting Saturn will afflict position of Mars in Iraq’s horoscope… it is hard to expect truly free elections with this constellation, resistance won’t stop… Fatal failure of American politics from astrological view is rushed election of transitional government; horoscope of state is the same, transitional government acts the same as government of Saddam Hussein, in interest of preserving rulership and Iraqi wholeness, they repress own people – with current transits these attempts cannot bring satisfactory results. Iraq in 2005 has to expect continuation of bad political and economical situation; in this moment, after all mistakes which were committed by American army wanting to normalize life, we can only predict continuation of occupation, even stronger use of force and constant resistance of guerrilla; yet during 2006, when transiting Saturn enters conjunction with Ascendant and sextiles with conjunction Moon – Venus, we can expect calming of situation, political reconstruction and positive changes in economical situation.
