Seychelles Astrology Piece
Seychelles tropical Ascendant (2AR38)
Seychelles tropical Midheaven (2CAP18)
Soccer stadium in Port Victoria
Prime Minister James Mancham stood to the right of the governor general. To the governor’s left stood France-Albert René. All three were saluting the two flags. The Union Jack was being lowered and the new Seychelles’ flag was being hoisted. Two moving flags reached the same midpoint in their opposite journeys. The stadium’s crowd broke out with cheers. Fireworks pierced the darkness with colored light. Sirens from boats sounded. “It was zero hour,” according to James Mancham in his book, Seychelles, Global Citizen. President James Mancham and Prime Minister René, like the two flags, would go their separate ways. In 341 days.
Their political inspirations and thinking were like the two fishes of the symbol of Pisces that swim in opposite directions. The constellation was on Seychelles’ Ascendant on that midnight. Fish is one of their greatest natural resources contained within Seychelles economic zone. But there was something fishy about the time that the coalition government came into being.
There were at least three different symbols of duality at that independence moment:
1) The Pisces Ascendant
2) The Gemini Sun
3) The Saturn/Uranus square.
What if the in-coming government had spoken to a (hypothetical) Minister of Astrology. They could have been informed that 29 June was not a good time to launch their ship-of-state. He or she could have advised that the two men work out their differences. Then, the minister could have chosen a time where the Tenth and Fourth House rulers were well disposed and in harmonious aspects. Another approach could have been to fortify the Tenth House (President James Mancham) to be able to absorb all attacks from the opposition.
