The horoscope of Greece: Search for Soul (Part II)

The Greek Soul (part II) door Myrthe Sardjoe:
The 24th of July 1974: the 2nd Greek Horoscope Till 1946 the map of Greece kept changing shape. After World War II, a civil war followed. Then some years of democracy which ended abruptly in 1967 with a military coup and the colonels-regime. In November 1973 there was a big student revolt. Students occupied the Polytechnion of Athens. The riots last year took place in the same area in Athens as in 1973. The 24th of July 1974 the dictatorship had fallen. From Paris, where he had lived in exile, Konstantinos Karamanlis was called back to Athens to lead the country. Karamanlis was sworn in the same day as prime minister. He led an interim government till the elections in November. These elections he won with his new party, the Nea Dimokratia and so Karamanlis stayed prime minister until 1980. Until 1985 he was president. The moment we take for the horoscope of modern democratic Greece is 4:00 a.m., the moment Konstantinos Karamanlis arrived at the airport of Athens. He was welcomed by wild jubilation of a huge crowd.
Horoscope of the 24th of July 1974, 4:00 a.m. Athens

In this horoscope the Sun is in Leo. Again it shows a fierce and proud nation. Again the Sun makes an connection to Neptune (trine) and Uranus (again square). Greece didn’t loose her faith nor her extreme hang for freedom and rebellion since 1821. Just as in the 1821 horoscope Venus and the Moon are making a square. In this horoscope the Moon is in exact conjunction with Pluto which shows us intensity of emotional issues. Greeks are very passionate. The prototype Greek mother is intense, protecting. In Greece it’s still quite normal that children stay at home till they get married. Pluto and the Moon are in the 4th house. Greeks can be very patriotic. They feel themselves in the very first place: Greek. Ascendant in Cancer correlates with Greece’s tourist industry. Tourism has been very important for Greece the last decades. It’s been an important source of income and a very fruitful way for Greece to connect to the rest of the world. Greece is famous for her hospitality, good food, nice hotels, restaurants etc. The Moon is ruler of the 1st house. And she is conjunct Pluto .And debts are Pluto’s area too. Pluto is ruler of the 5th house. It isn’t surprising Greece got into financial trouble by some 5th house activities: Olympic Games, Eurovisie Song Festival. This chart shows a very serious, passionate Mercury (Mercury conjunct Saturn/Venus square Moon/Pluto). It fits the mode of communication of the Greeks I know. A certain heaviness, thoughtfulness and emotional way of making conversation. More about the 24th of July 1974 horoscope in: ‘Greece, what’s going on?’
