China is becoming a focus of concern and dislike for a litany of sins. Having stitched up Hong Kong, dishonouring the 1997 deal, Beijing has then turned its increasingly hostile gaze across the Pacific region, notably targeting Taiwan. This pits China against the USA and its allies amongst them Australia, New Zealand and the UK. There is also a dangerous standoff with India over one of their border regions (see post June 17 2020). And the EU is digging in its heels, refusing to sign a China trade deal because of the plight of the Muslim Uygurs and other minorities in detention camps and the extensive use of forced labour.
Xi Jinping’s Term chart, 24 October 2017 12.30 pm Beijing, has a confident and successful Sun Jupiter in a risk-taking opposition to Uranus, so he’s not afraid to go for expansionist gambles. Jupiter in a term chart usually bestows luck, whether deserved or not, so it’s tricky to know quite how 2021 will shake down with tr Pluto square the Term Uranus from late February for two years which can on its own be destabilising. What is certain is that tr Neptune square the Term Saturn from late May 2021, on and off till late 2022 will cause considerable uncertainty and some panic.
This coincides with tr Neptune square his Gemini Sun (yet another one!), which or may not give rise to yet more questions about his health. His Term chart given that he’s now into an infinity presidency will run into a dead halt come 2024.
The two China charts do indicate an exceptionally rocky road ahead. The 1 January 1912 chart (which showed up the Covid-19 crisis most clearly) has tr Pluto continuing to assault the natural-disaster-prone and highly-strung, can-be-fanatical Neptune opposition Uranus for another three years. There will be frustrations and anger from tr Pluto trine the Mars till late 2021; and economic hiccups from the middle of this year as tr Uranus is conjunct the Saturn in Taurus into 2022. 2022/23 will be years of major disruption, perhaps rebellions, certainly a degree of mayhem not seen for decades.
The China 1 October 1949 chart has a worrisome, explosive tr Uranus square the aggressive 7th house Mars Pluto from the middle of 2021, exacerbating in 2022 as both tr Uranus square tr Saturn hit on the Mars Pluto. There will be setbacks, high insecurity which could lead to rash actions.
Joe Biden’s chart relocated to Beijing isn’t as aggravated as his astrocartography to Iran, Russia and the Middle East. Though his relationship charts with both China charts, will be up and down with a discouraging sense of slog from late January 2021 and some reversals mid year onwards.
Add On: From Mark Annand. “To add further credence to your outlook for crises ahead, we need look no further than the chart for the CCP which controls practically everything that moves in China. It’s start date is 23 July 1921 Shanghai putting the Sun at 29Cancer15 nicely lined up for the first demolition hammer blows of a Pluto opposition, in orb by 20 March 2022 and exact for Pluto’s first pass 11 months later on 20 February 2023. All of which seems to correspond closely with the timings given in your report.
Hello Marjorie. Are there any indicators as to how the Chinese/Afghanistan relationship may (or may not) develop with the withdrawal of the USA troops? There have been several articles about the possibility of Chinese heightened interest in the area once the troops withdraw. With the threat of Taliban strengthening in the area once again, I wondered how it might pan out. Thank you
Hi Marjorie,
A fascinating analysis. But just to add further credence to your outlook for crises ahead, we need look no further than the chart for the CCP which controls practically everything that moves in China. It’s start date is 23 July 1921 Shanghai putting the Sun at 29Cancer15 nicely lined up for the first demolition hammer blows of a Pluto opposition, in orb by 20 March 2022 and exact for Pluto’s first pass 11 months later on 20 February 2023. All of which seems to correspond closely with the timings given in your report.
Mark, thanks. Have added your thought to the bottom of the post since it’s easier to find in future. Interesting, the world is changing fast over mid decade.
Thank you Marjorie, China possibly didn’t set out to dominate the worlds manufacturing but it has and it abuse of people and resources is making us all poorer in the long run. Just look at the every expanding battery market were China dominate with 73% based on resources produced by African children.
China is trying its best to become a global darling, making friends and influencing people, isn’t it?
“‘Good riddance,’ China says as Germany leaves UN Security Council”

Such obnoxiousness is a prime example of the Chinese government’s oxymoron: “wolf diplomacy”. As opposed to the decency and excellent diplomacy of the German ambassador pleading for two of my countrymen held hostage by China’s loathsome government.
Oops. It’s “wolf warrior diplomacy”. Insulting to wolves.
Surprised why no mention of the India-China armed faceoff. Two nuclear-armed neighbours involving over one-third of the world’s population strikes me as a worrying flash point.
See post June 17 2020.
‘Running out of steam’ couldn’t be more appropriate, as China is facing energy problems – dependence on coal has brought horrible pollution, which they’ve tried to reduce, while coal supply is being affected by their aggravated relationship with Australia, a coal supplier.
So the people are having to get by with less heat and electricity … while billions are spent on the lunar mission.
Quote “His Term chart, given that he’s now into an infinity presidency, will run into a dead halt come 2024.”
Xi Jinping, like all human beings, has a finite physical life. He may well have created an infinite presidency for himself, but he, just like the rest of us, has no control over the length of his life. That is in the hands of the Great Spirit.
My father had a number of quotations which he used when appropriate. When I read your article the one which came into my mind was “Man proposes but God disposes.”
@An Ancient Mariner, what a wise message. What’s also interisting, in light of this is that Chairman Xi has spent a decade creating a void around him for succession. So, if anything happens to him, there’s no apparent contingency plan at place, except maybe Military taking over. This is always an Achilles heel with totalitarians.
