As Afghanistan’s benighted, backward-looking Taliban ruler, lays down increasingly draconian edicts restricting women’s lives, there are signs of discord from within the ranks. Some senior figures have openly criticised the policies of the leadership towards women. An official inside the Taliban’s morality ministry told The Telegraph most of the rules it was told to enforce were about “controlling women” and “often don’t even make sense”.
Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada, the Taliban’s supreme leader since 2021, has vowed to publicly stone women to death for adultery.
The Taliban has said Afghan women are not allowed to:
Drive a car
Speak in public
Speak loudly inside your house
Travel alone
Own a smartphone
Wear bright clothes
Wear high-heels
Go to high school or university
Sing
Read the Quran aloud in public
Look at men they don’t know
Attend a protest
Go to the gym
Go to the park
Work in the civil service
Ride in a taxi
Go abroad
Show their faces in public
Speak to a male doctor
Play sport.
The Afghanistan, 19 August 1919, 12 am Kabul chart has a hidden 12th house Taurus Moon conjunct Algol and the South Node and square a Leo Sun Mercury which makes sense of a punitive, destructive, primitive attitude to women. There is also a yod of Mars in Cancer sextile Venus inconjunct Uranus hinting at lawless defiance and a contrary and eccentric outlook.
The Afghanistan Islamic State 25 April 1992 chart is ruthless, brutal and also inclined to fanatical views with Mars trine Pluto, sextile Uranus Neptune in Capricorn. With (maybe) an Aquarius Moon (square a stubborn Taurus Sun) sextile Mercury inconjunct Jupiter.
There is no birth date for the present Supreme leader Mullah Akhundzada but he took office on 15 August 2021 after the USA withdrew. This chart is dominated by a strained yod of Pluto sextile Neptune inconjunct a Leo Sun. The downside of a Sun on the focal point of a yod is a tendency to abuse power and authority though the drive for absolute domination usually backfires. His term chart has an undeserved dollop of good luck built in with a helpful Jupiter but it will be under massive, perhaps terminal pressure come 2026/27.
The Islamic State 1992 chart is also under significant pressure at the same time with tr Pluto is moving to square the Sun in 2026/27 alongside SA Neptune square the Pluto and SA Uranus square the Pluto.
The Afghanistan 1919 chart is showing disruptions through 2025 with tr Uranus conjunct the Moon, Algol and South Node and square the yod focal point Uranus.
Will be instructive to see which chart most accurately reflects events.
Thanks Marjorie, this is a very important topic. The image of the little girl all covered up like her mother is heartbreaking.
The history of all of this is so convoluted. However, I noticed that 24 December 1979 might be relevant. This was when Soviet tanks entered Afghanistan, ostensibly to restore stability. A rebellion by the mujahideen fighters followed. They had shadowy support from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and the USA. Al Qaeda was the eventual result.
The Solar Arc for Afghanistan 1919 you post here has Neptune 23 Scorpio, Pluto 21 Libra. These are the same degrees for Uranus in Scorpio and Pluto in Libra as those for December, 1979. The SA Virgo Moon and South Node are close to the Mars 12 Virgo and Jupiter 10 Virgo for 1979.
Saturn at 26 Virgo for ’79 is conjunct Venus for Afghanistan 1919 – Saturn now in Pisces opposes that next Spring, and connects with both the Pisces Lunar Eclipse last September, and the one in Virgo, March 2025. Both Venus and the Moon with Saturn suggest restrictions connected with women, as well as the citizens, and perhaps how they’re (badly) affected by appalling poverty in the country. The health and well-being of the population could also be highlighted? The fluctuating, feminine Moon is an important symbol in Islam, which may also have relevance here.
Those rules virtually deny life, horrifying. However, it is probably better for the long term future of Afghanistan and its people if revolt against such oppression comes from within. In the 1992 chart, maybe transiting Pluto approaching a conjunction with the Moon and square the Sun + Uranus trine that Pluto, indicates just such a revolution.
The list is not far from rules in small conservative towns in Amerika.
Oh my goodness!
The Saturn at 0Virgo on the IC is conjunct the Leo Sun-Mercury and squaring the Taurus Moon so that is a huge part of the cruelty. Also one I’m fairly sure I’ve read that the Virgo Virgin symbolism wasn’t connected to avoiding sex but that it represented women who were whole for themself and needed no man – so again Saturn trying to disrupt that.
Here is the Mulla’s Government chart, it contains a quadralateral CRADLE,
a Yod and T-square all controlled by Mullah, the Sun. The cradle is like
a prison to keep woman, Moon, and girls, Venus inside the prison, lest
they fall out of the cradle to the opposite side, Uranus, and gain freedom.
The red line on top of the cradle acts like a barrier, to keep women and
girls inside. Women are controlled, Pluto aspects Moon, and girls are
fully shrouded, Neptune opp Venus. as are women, Moon trine Neptune.
The Mullah, the Sun is the focal point of the Yod and t-square giving
him full authorative control in his gov’t.

Fixed Stars and Parans for Mullah Akhundzada Government chart:
Star on an angle, Zuben Eschamali…”A person who seeks power.”
Mirach rising as Mars sets….”A person absorbed with their own needs.”
Zuben Eschamali culminates as Moon culminates….”To feel responsible
for social problems.”
Polaris culminates as Sun rises….”Single-mindedness, strong focus.”
Mirfak rises as Jupiter sets….”Achievement thru’ decisive action.”
Sualocin sets as Venus rises….”Bending the rules, intellectually or legally.”
Transiting Pluto transits the Moon in the 1st house of Islamic States Chart. This could either mean more draconian rules, or furies surfacing. The Moon is square it Taurus Sun which is ruled by Venus. So it looks like Pluto will be stirring something within the feminine psyche. A quick calculation ( which isn ‘t always right) places the Sun/Moon midpoint at 18 of Pisces. Which is sextile the Islamic’s Charts Uranus in Capricorn. This could manifest in a fight, or at least some awakening to another way. As Uranus is the ruling planet of Aquarius. Pluto will be working with enlightenment or pushing for it. Uranus is also conjunction Neptune. In sone way this conjunction may be why the is a confusion about these harsh edits not making sense. As the ruler is ruling opposite to what the Islam as a religion stands for stands for. No Prophet has written that women should be held prisoners. Not allowed to learn, sing or breathe fresh air. The Islamic Charts Pluto in the 10th house is quintile to its Moon. Pluto transiting back and forth during 2025 may break down some barriers for women. What is interesting is its Sun conjunct the IC, as this could be more about an undercurrent power, which is driving this harshness. Sun in Taurus is normally very in tune with sensuality and beautiful art and objects. This may be more to the leaders not handling women very well, than a country.
Apologies typed “stand for” twice. Getting use to varifocal glasses.

Could be both, maybe? Afganistan coming under attack first, followed by crumpling of the Islamic State? To be fair, I haven’t been paying as close attention to the region than
10 or so years ago, but dominos from Russia having to concentrate in Ukraine will eventually start to fall.
Intuitively correct. Putin may fall under the Saturn-Neptune conjunction. Some of the effects of a new Russian government may spill over into the entire region and destabilize it.
