Japan has been making strides forward in the past five years since Shinzo Abe took over as PM, almost entirely making up the ground it lost during the long 1990s slump. That started on a crash which wiped out more wealth as a share of its economy than the United States did in 1929.
What interesting about Shinzo Abe’s Term chart, 26 December 2012 is that it has – in addition to an innovative and controlling Sun Pluto square Uranus – an expansive Yod of Pluto sextile Saturn in Scorpio inconjunct Jupiter with Jupiter opposition a financial Venus. Well handled, an apex Jupiter can effect great social change.
His own personal chart, 21 September 1954, has a lucky Uranus Jupiter conjunction which trines the Japan Mars and his Virgo Sun opposes the Mars so he’ll be a great motivator for the country. Plus his Pluto opposes the Japan Sun for extra push and transformation.
It won’t be plain sailing ahead for him with a major setback coming in 2019 from Solar Arc Saturn conjunct his Mars. In many ways he’s through his lucky phase when his Solar Arc Uranus Jupiter crossed his Sun, so maybe into more troubled times ahead personally or politically.
The Japan 11 February 1889 chart is being rattled by the Leo Eclipses this year and next; and has a Solar Arc Uranus square the Neptune for high anxiety in 2019. And a fair amount of upheaval from tr Pluto square the Uranus in 2018/2019. Followed by a considerable setback with Solar Arc Saturn square Mars in 2020. There is a rectified time of 10.44 am though how useful it is I’m not sure.
Thank you Marjorie!
Have a nice weekend,
