South Africa – financial problems worsening

The South African economy is ‘in crisis’ says the finance minister Pravin Gordhan. There is shrinking growth, 25% unemployment, and widespread poverty. The South African rand has halved over the past five years, losing 30% since last year’s Chinese crisis.

The South Africa 1910 chart has a 9 degree Gemini Sun which is catching the tr Neptune square, usually an indicator of collapse of financial confidence. That repeats in magnified form in 2018 with Solar Arc Jupiter opposition Neptune. Before then tr Pluto will oppose Neptune in 2016/17 which is devastating; with a frustrating, trapped tr Pluto opposition Mars in 2017/18. Plus a rebellious tr Uranus square Uranus this year – so all fairly grim.

The May 10 1994 chart, has tr Uranus square Neptune in 2016 and Uranus in 2017; with tr Neptune square tr Saturn hitting the Solar Arc Sun this year; and tr Pluto square Mars in 2017/2018 – much the same story.

The Bank of South Africa, 30 June 1921, starts several years of a Neptunian swamp as tr Neptune is conjunct Uranus and moves on to oppose Jupiter Saturn in Virgo until 2012, so it won’t be easy or quick to turn the situation round.
