The once-feted Aung San Sui Kyi sank deeper into ignominy and dealt her already tarnished reputation another blow in the Hague this week. She argued that charges of genocide for the treatment of the Rohingya people should not be laid against Myanamar. The atrocities were carried out by the same military who held her under house arrest for 15 years, which turned her into an international icon for democracy and won her a Nobel peace Prize along the way.
Born 19 June 1945 in Rangoon, she’s a late Sun Gemini with Uranus also in Gemini and both in an expansive square to Jupiter in Virgo. And she has a tough-minded, hard-edged and obstinate Venus Mars in Taurus square Pluto. It’s not a sentimental chart.
This July’s Solar Eclipse was conjunct her Saturn which should have brought a sharp reality check.
In general she’s in a period of some turmoil with an insecure tr Uranus conjunct her Mars continuing from this year into early 2020, tr Uranus in a disruptive square to her Pluto from mid 2020 and conjunct her Uranus in 2021 – so it’ll be a rocky path. With a ‘car-crash’ Secondary Progressed Mars conjunct her Sun in about two years’ time.
She’s the daughter of the founder of Myanamar and her Jupiter falls in the country’s 10th so she’ll feel it is her destiny to lead, but she’s Stockholm Syndrome-ed herself into a corner with the generals from whom she couldn’t escape even out of house arrest, and has ruined her good name in the process.
“I do not hold to non-violence for moral reasons, but for political and practical reasons.” Aung San Sui Kyi, 2007. So, it seems, she has changed her tactics or beliefs now, for political and practical reasons no doubt. She was I think twice offered freedom from house arrest, on the understanding that she became an exile. Neither her children, nor her dying husband, were sufficient reason for her to leave Myanmar when she had the chance. She is married to her country. I agree, she should hand back the Peace Prize. I think she cared about democracy, but has also publicly rejected the idea that she is a human rights activist. Clearly, this is horribly true.
She needs to hand back her Nobel Peace Prize!!!
