Sudan’s Astrology Piece
Tropical Ascendant (20AQ55)
Tropical Midheaven (29SC39)
Sudan’s astrology is made up of at least two birth times. I will give one for now. I will present the other time on an earlier unilateral declaration chart.
The dates and times were provided by the Cultural Affairs Specialist. From the National Records Office. Embassy of the United States of America, Khartoum , Sudan.

Aquarius is the sign of unexpectedness, revolutionary change, reform and new epochs. It claims Sudan’s tropical Ascendant.
The natal Capricorn Sun represents Sudan’s leaders. It functions in the 11th House of groups and governing bodies. This house relates to organizations of people, instead of a single person. The higher ideal is that the many can choose, without loss of individuality, to act as One. The 11th House is the natural house of Aquarius.
Sudan started out as a parliamentary government. This political form highlights the Sun’s 11th House connection to legislative bodies.
Astrological Analysis of the Military Plus the North and South Divisions
All planets except Uranus are above the horizon line. This illumines the split between the north and the south. But this division was already active before independence. It intensified when the central government decided against a previously promised federal system. The system would have been patterned after a union government. Both regions of the country would have shared power .
The natal Moon is in Leo. It rules the 6th House of the military. The Moon also squares Mars in Scorpio. Mars co-ruler of the 9th and 10th Houses. And Mars has rulership over government military forces, militias, and violence. From a more esoteric angle, Mars is associated with the solar Plexus chakra. This center is known as the place of the Sun and therefore Peace. Peace and harmony endures when it circulates freely through the feeling body. This peace arises from the inner spiritual Being within.
The natal Moon rules people, public force and women. Its disposition denotes how well the country fundamentally functions.
The Moon is less than 4 degrees from conjunction with Pluto. It is 2 degrees past a square with Mars and a little over 5 degrees from squaring Saturn. Tendencies are for military or authoritative power systems to violently tackle national issues. At present this is the way these energies have being deployed.
First Coup d’état
The first coup d’etat in the country was carried out on Monday, 17 November. It was executed by Staff Major General Ibrahim Abboud. So, the parliamentary regime was replaced by a military one. On that day Sudan’s prog. Mars was 14 min. away from an exact square with the natal Moon. The Moon ruled the 6th House of military and armed forces. This was an alignment of morphic fields. One, which was the people and two the morphic field of armed groups.
On the day of the first coup:
Transiting Mars squared the natal Moon and opposed progressed Mars
This created a T-square.
The transiting Sun also conjoined progressed Mars.
Transiting Mars opposed the transiting Sun, which also conjoined progressed Mars.
Prime Minister Abdallah Kahlil, is represented by the transiting Sun. He was replaced by a military body. This political maneuvering was apparently by forceful means. It is clearly illustrated by the progressed Sudanese chart for 17 November 1958. Yet there was another angle to this.
