Venezuela: The Beginning of the End to Chavez

Dear Carrie,

You have probably read the news that we have just ended an election process, a referendum actually. And your calls seem to be right on the mark, except Chavez is still in power. You are probably confused on how and why this has happened. How can Chavez have won. Well, the truth is that he didn´t. It is very clear to 82% (recent poll) of the population that some kind of manipulation was made. This is clear from both sides of the political fight. The government knows it, we know it and the international community knows it. However, for reasons we do not fully understand, the international community is keen on accepting Chavez. Some say, that with high oil prices, the US government does not wishes that political instability affects the supply of oil at this time. And there are many interests in the international community for a Chavez continuation. So, you were right: elections were indeed held, Chavez lost, yet he is still in power. What can we expect going forward?

FYI - we are working on dismantling the electoral fraud, but it will be difficult to prove given it was all made in an electronic format. So we still have a small hope that this is actually proven and that Chavez´ decision backfires on him (such as the case of Fujimori - Peru, and many others).

Thank you.

A Reader's Request

Dear Carrie,

The main concern is to find out when and how (democratic solution or by force) Hugo Chavez will leave the Presidency of Venezuela.

What will be the role of the foreign forces active in Venezuela to shore up the regime, Cubans, Colombia FLN guerrilas, and all sorts of Arabian terrorists.

Will Venezuelans be able to defeat them- who will fight them? Our institutional military, or civilians, or both?

Next, what is Venezuela's two to three year outlook in the area of future democracy, violence vs. reconciliation, and economic recuperation.

Best Regards,

Venezuela: The Beginning of the End to Chavez

(July 25-August 16, 2003) To put it simply, Hugo Chavez is going to have to be booted out of office. His drive to control is simply too powerful. Astrological indications say by force. He is going to take his time. I am very comfortable saying that this is the beginning of the end of Hugo Chavez. The lucky streaks for him are over. There is a significant amount of astrological pieces to say that he is on his way out of office. Yet, it will take some time. It appears that he will hold onto his continued weakening position until summer of 2004. Elections are likely to predominate in the news - Winter 2004.

I would like to caution that there is a ticking time bomb due to go off in October and November of 2003 that weakens the leadership of Venezuela. The homeland is very unstable. The likelihood of riots and looting are great October 2003-January 2004. If another coup attempt occurs at this time, it is highly likely that it will be a weak leader that is put in Chavez's place. It is best to leave Chavez in for now. His position is weakening. Chavez begins to face real limitations 2004.

History is being made. Note the time frame after October 25, 2003 on your calendar. This will tick off tensions. Opposition parties are seriously moving forward. The judicial system is fixed, oil prices or output are due to increase. Watch the banks where many transactions are due. Something, like this August 19 election poll, is going to explode tensions. Expect a catastrophe. Military force increases.

The true question is not so much will Chavez be ousted, but where is the leadership going? More specific, what power will win the next elections at the end of 2004? I do not have enough concrete information to know whether the next person to become president will be a Chavista, democrat or other.

I can say that democracy remains unstable and a lot of hard work needs to be done to bring the Venezuelan economy back. Your country faces a long hard economic recovery - the strength to do such a feat exists.

Astrological Significators:

Astrologers look to the past to understand the future. The last time Saturn danced in opposition to Chiron in harsh aspect to Venezuela's Sun at 13 degrees of Cancer was in 1989. (Please see the tri-wheel that illustrates the similarities between 1989-90 and and what is up and coming for Venezuelan leaders.)

In the spring of 1989 Carlos Andres Perez Rodriguez was re-elected. In 1989 a spirited campaign led to a food riot and looting. Masses struck out against bus drivers who unfairly raised prices. A gas price hike was the last straw. This ended by a vicious massacre of some 2000 people by military and police. Venezuela moved toward a type of democracy. Perez nationalized oil, iron, steel and controlled foreign enterprises. This type of behavior is what to expect for 2003-04. When a Venezuelan president is under these vulnerable aspects that exist for the Fall 2003-Summer 2004, Venezuelan history speaks of a rebellion.

2) Chiron Return for Chavez.

Between September 1991 and May 1992, Chavez experienced three passes of Chiron over his natal Sun position at 4 degrees of Leo. It was In 1992, Chavez landed in jail after he led a coup attempt against Perez. A simple translation.....a wounded ‘wannabe' leader.

3) Saturn conjunct Chavez's south node.

Any time Saturn comes up to conjunct anyone's south node, it is over. Saturn comes within ONE degree of conjuncting Chavez's south node on October 25, 2003. Another attempted coup is likely in the works, but Saturn DOES NOT pass over the south node! Amazing how close opposition comes to ousting him a one more time. Nevertheless, the writing is on the wall. June 21, 2004 Saturn will FINALLY pass over Chavez's south node. All of 2004, the country pushes for another election. Winter 2004 an election is in the works.

In astrological research, three is a charm. If you see at least three different aspects saying the same thing, you know that you are onto a truth. It is the beginning of the end to Chavez.

If you are not satisfied with three here is one more for the road...

4) Saturn began to pass over the Sun (leader of a nation) summer of 2003 and will continue to restrict the president's activities.

As I made mention in the first Venezuela Report, It was Jupiter that passed over Venezuelan Sun and Chavez's Sun that gave him a lucky streak between July 2001-Spring 2003. The lucky streak is coming to an end. Where Jupiter is lucky, Saturn makes life more difficult. That is what is up and coming for Chavez. Please view chart.

What will be the role of the foreign forces active in Venezuela to shore up the regime, Cubans, Colombia FLN guerrilas, and all sorts of Arabian terrorists?

Chavez has planted seeds in the minds of too many people. I do not need astrology to say that it is unlikely that the Chavez regime will completely die, or that the FLN guerrilas and Arabian terrorists will disappear. There will always be extremists in any society that are ready to take over a government. Each country has their own.

I am more concerned about the strength of the next government. Given specific astrological data, I believe that the next government will be mostly interested in rebuilding the economy, yet the region will remain unstable and disruptive towards democracy for years to come. I am lacking enough information on the next elections. I have ni idea who will be running or what their platform will be. I do see elections at the end of 2004.

Will Venezuelans be able to defeat them- who will fight them? Our institutional military, or civilians, or both?

The group that led the business strike from December 2002-February 2003 is due to come around again with more momentum and strength. Again, it would be unwise for another coup attempt the last half of 2003 as the new appointed leadership would be weak. Again, it is best to wait. Chavez will be out by the end of 2004. Patience is best.

US is also involved. U.S. Independence Day is July 4 and Venezuela's is July 5. Astrologically and hemispherically, these two countries are linked in their drive for a similar leader. As goes the country, so go its people. There is strong evidence that U.S. will play part to help Venezuelans achieve intended democracy. Just remember -- Bush is very interested in oil and his birthday is July 5!

Next, what is Venezuela's two-to-three-year outlook in the area of future democracy, violence vs. reconciliation, and economic recuperation?

What seems to be clear is that it will be finally over for Chavez in the summer of 2004. Around the time of your independence day July 5. Democracy is unstable through 2005. The homeland continues to be unsettled and disruptive from time to time over the next 2 years. Military control increased in order to stabilize the region. The drive to rebuild Venezuela's economy is going to intensify over the next several years as transiting Pluto begins a dance with Venezuela's Saturn in the second house of money. This will not be an easy feat. The drive to achieve an economic outlook is due to be strong.

2017

I would like to have you step back just a little bit further with your question for democracy. There is an additional point that I would like to make about Saturn returns and the July 5, 1811 Independence chart for Venezuela.

Every 28 to 30 years ANY birth date will have a Saturn return. It speaks of a time of order and responsibility. From 1958-1987, Venezuela experienced four changes of power in a democratic manner. One Saturn return cycle. This has been reported in your history as a time of great pride. The 1958 Saturn return chart for Venezuela had Saturn in trine to transiting Uranus. In other words, harmonious change of responsibility from one leader to the next. However, the Saturn cycle which began in 1987 marked a new era in democracy. Instead of peaceful change between leaders, it speaks of a 28-30 cycle of upheaval and chaos at each transition as Uranus sat right on transiting Saturn and natal Saturn.

The next Saturn cycle will begin in 2017. It is this Saturn return that looks more peaceful toward a democratic resolution. In the meantime, military force will dominate to create a more stable nation.

Conclusion

History will be made at the end of August 2003. Venezuela is very unsteady. This includes the economy. October and November highly explosive months. This will continue through January 2004.

Chavez will likely use outside military for support. His desire for power is great. Get ready for riots and chaos for the remainder of 2003 and into 2004. Chavez ability to lead increasingly restricted and more and more ineffective as a leader at this time. This is a time when Chavez chart and the Venezuelan Independence chart suggests a compromised situation for Chavez. His days are numbered. The astrological data that I have interpreted indicates that Chavez will be out of power July 2004.

After Chavez is gone, there is a strong emphasis on economic recuperation over the next 2-3 years. The region will still be full of surprises and instability through 2005-6. This includes democracy.

Whosoever comes to power next, will work hard to stabilize the economy. Expect an increase in military control to stabilize the region.
