Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, imprisoned in Iran in 2016 for allegedly spying has been allowed out for three days to stay with her parents and daughter whom she has only seen on prison visits since she was 22 months old. A British resident with a dual passport, she works for the Thomson Reuters Foundation and was sentenced to five years in jail, although she insists she was only on holiday to allow her daughter to spend time with relatives. Boris Johnson’s replacement as Foreign Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, appears to have helped ease the pressure on her – Boris in contrast made her situation worse. The theory is that Iran wants money from the UK and support on lifting sanctions so she became a pawn in a political game. She spent 8 months in solitary confinement early on without a lawyer.
Born 16 September 1978 in Teheran, she has her Sun, Mercury and Saturn in Virgo with her Sun square Neptune and a Pisces Moon.
Her chart looks mixed ahead – lucky breaks in this November and February with tr Uranus trine her Jupiter/Node; mid February onwards, on and off till late 2019 as tr Pluto trines her Jupiter/Uranus; and the second half of April 2019 with tr Uranus square her Jupiter. All of those will boost her confidence and give her hope. However it looks edgy and agitated this September and October; and she has stuck, scary and disappointing influences through till late 2019 as well. On the best case scenario they let her out and she is suffering from the aftereffects of ill-treatment and mental stress. But it could drag on.
Her relationship chart with the Iran 1 February 1979 Islamist coup chart isn’t favorable at the best of times and is none-too-cheerful until 2021. Was she warned it would be dangerous to return?
