Introduction

Douglas Parker has been rectifying horoscopes of people and countries for over 28 years. Why, because if a birth time is one hour out, some predictions may be up to 3-5 years out! All the major charts used in this website have been rectified by Douglas. The great majority of astrologers are unable to verify (rectify) birth times because it is too difficult.


Horoscope of Australia

Australia Horoscope

The Commonwealth of Australia was pronounced on 1 January 1901 at close to 1:35 PM in Sydney. Of all the countries in the world, Australia has one of the truly great horoscopes. The Archillies Heel of the country is its penchant for rampant speculation and risk taking (Jupiter 180° Neptune), which is responsible for driving up house prices to ridiculous levels. This is what the Australian horoscope shows:

Sun conjunct (0°)  Saturn. This means Australia acts with decisiveness, determination and perseverance. She truly has the ability to maintain her position in the world. It also explains why its people have an inferiority (Saturn) complex.

Mars 45° Pluto and Uranus. This shows Australia attaining great objectives by an immense application of effort and energy. It shows a people very much out of the ordinary, with touches of genius. It explains why Australians are assertive, “in your face”, aggressive, blunt, powerful and are the greatest sportsmen on Earth. Australia cowers to no one.

Mercury conjunct (0°) Jupiter. This shows successful businessmen, scientists and orators. Also common sense, a constructive intellect and optimism abound in its people.

Jupiter 180° Neptune. This explains why Australians are often misunderstood by others. It makes us dreamers and speculators, and often wasteful (we produce four times more greenhouse gases per head of population than Europeans do). This is called the “ lucky syndrome” in astrology, which seems appropriate for the so-called lucky country.  Australians are speculators and spendthrifts on a massive scale.

Venus conjunct (0°) Uranus. This produces world-class artists and makes Australians extravagant (sadly with respect to Climate Change, we have the biggest houses in the world).
 

 Astrology Predictions for Australia 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012

Transiting Neptune is 45° to the Australian Sun throughout 2009 and early 2010. This shows the Prime Minister (Sun) and the government indulging in dreams and plans, even losing contact with reality (all Neptune). The evidence is: their decision to spend 30% of Australia’s income for one year on a “stimulus package”, it is like giving alcohol to a drunk; our self appointed “world leader” and egomaniac PM Kevin Rudd, running all over the world (he’s hardly ever here) explaining that he has all the answers. In short, the Government has a distinct disinclination to work and is completely self-indulgent. In general terms, this shows that many people in Australia feel lost and greatly disappointed and disillusioned in their leaders. The demise (Neptune) of the Opposition Leader, the Sun rules the 4th house of the Opposition, is shown.

For the next three years or so, transiting Saturn will be going through Australia's sixth house of work, public health, the armed forces and the public service. This usually relates to hard work for very little financial gain. In general terms, it shows the nation is tired and exhausted and will have a negative mindset. It is likely the trade union movement will be a very militant in this time. Serious concerns may be raised about public health, the Armed Forces and the Public Service. High fresh food prices will bring serious concerns.

Transiting Pluto will be 135° from the Australian Moon in 2010- 11. This may be indicating a  very strong opposition to Australia and to the Prime Minister Rudd, by the world community. National defence and agriculture will become major issues.

Kevin Rudd will be under extreme pressure in May-June 2010 and we may find him literally brought to his knees. Serious career, family and even health issues could arise for him around this time. With Sun conjunct (0°) Mars in his horoscope, Rudd is volatile and hot-blooded.

PLUTO TRANSITING THROUGH THE AUSTRALIAN SATURN 2011-2012    

I have researched the four times Pluto has transited through the Australia Saturn since Federation in 1901. They were hard times: transiting Pluto 180 degrees Australia Saturn between September 1919- June 21; transiting Pluto 135 degrees Australia Saturn between October 1952- June 1954; transiting Pluto 90 degrees Australia Saturn between October 1974- August 1975; transiting Pluto 45 degrees Australia Saturn between January 1992- August 1993.

Private debt levels in Australia are at record highs, about $48 000 per head, just a few thousand dollars less than in the USA! Housing prices have risen faster in Australia in the last 20 years than in the USA. The USA had a massive housing crash. Australia will go the same way.

A number of themes showed up during these times and they are likely to repeat themselves between 2011 and 2012 as transiting Pluto becomes conjunct (0 degrees) to the Australia Saturn.

Record rainfall is likely in the Murray-Darling and southern Australia. Unemployment is likely to rise (possibly dramatically). Nuclear energy may well become a major issue of debate. Unemployment, prices, inflation and interest rates are all likely to rise significantly. 

By 2010, Australia now has the highest level of household debt (mortgages) compared to disposable income in the world! The Household Debt of Australians in 1980 was under 10% of GDP. In 2010 it had risen close to 100% of GDP. This means, on average, Australians have 10 TIMES more debt than they had in 1980. Australians are speculators and spendthrifts on a massive scale. eg The largest houses in the world! It is likely many Australian families, overwhelmed by debt, will lose their homes in 2011-12.

The federal government, or prime minister, will be under sustained attack by the opposition throughout 2011-12, as it was during 1975. There may be a double dissolution. PM Julia Gillard may well find herself or her government embroiled in a major scandal which will end her rule as “headmistress” of Australia and may well bring down the government. PM Julia Gillard talks to Australians in a very patronizing way, and slowly, as though she is lecturing primary school children who don’t know very much. 

Transiting Uranus is beginning to go through the 12th house cusp of the Australian horoscope in 2011-12. This is heralding a difficult time with respect to areas such as prisons (possibly illegal immigrant numbers reaching crisis levels in detainment camps?), hospitals and homes for the aged. There could be significant changes in the work patterns of many Australians. There may also be unexpected enmity from nations previously considered friendly. It would be also expected that many more Australians than usual will be suffering from serious anxiety and nervous disorders. Health problems, such as depression caused by overwhelming debt levels, may arise which almost threaten to overwhelm the authorities at times.

                                                                                                                             

Transiting Pluto will be conjunct (0°) to the Australian Saturn throughout 2011-12. This will be a very difficult time for Australia, almost as hard as it gets. This will be especially so throughout 2012. There is a danger of significant natural disasters occurring, such as a cyclone on the scale of Cyclone Tracy which destroyed Darwin on Christmas Eve 1974, or bushfires covering millions of hectares. There is even a danger of Australia being dragged into a foreign war (if the People say nothing to prevent it). Australia is in danger of finding itself overwhelmed by a massive immigration flood, including thousands of boat-people. This also suggests serious financial times for Australia, possibly a credit squeeze or a very serious recession and unemployment becoming a serious problem. Property prices (Saturn) could crash. There could be major government reforms (Saturn) implemented. Will Big Business (Pluto) try to force nuclear power stations upon us?

Transiting Neptune will be conjunct (0°) the Australian 11th house cusp around 2011-12. When transiting Neptune was 180° from this point in 1929, rampant and foolish (Neptune) speculation (fifth house) caused Australia's greatest stock market crash in October 1929 and led to the Great Depression. I expect for several years around this time that there is once again the possibility of very severe financial times for the Australian economy. 1929 could be repeating itself again?

Yet another Australian Prime Minister will fall from power between mid-2011 and late 2012. This supported by the solar eclipse 180° from the Australian Sun and Saturn around mid-2011. Also, transiting Neptune will be 90° to the Australian Node between March 2011 and November 2012. Each time Neptune transits through the Australian Node the Prime Minister  either loses an election or gets knifed in the back (classic Neptunian behaviour) by his party and is forced to resign.

JULIA GILLARD HOROSCOPE AND PREDICTIONS FOR 2011

PM Julia Gillard’s horoscope for 2011 does not look good. Transiting Saturn and Neptune will be going through her Uranus between November 2010 and March and August 2011. This can indicate her getting extremely irritable and excitable with others, and may lead to a sudden illness or breakdown. The Neptune 180 degrees Uranus combination (May 2010 to December 2011) suggests Julia Gillard needs to withdraw from the influence of others (who write the rubbish she utters all the time). She will be very insecure and lack clarity and if she does not put on a clear and consistent attitude towards others, she may easily become the object of gossip and rumour. Gillard's MC (career) in her relocation chart for Canberra (as though she was born there at the same time as in Wales) is 20 Aquarius, the ruler being Uranus. So Neptune (out of control, undermining, water wearing away the cliff face, bad decisions) 180 degrees Gillard's Uranus will literally destroy her prime ministership in 2011. The Saturn 45 degrees Uranus combination (November 2010 to August 2011) shows she is striving to reach certain objectives but is facing considerable resistance and difficulties. It will take all her energy to overcome the obstacles without getting involved in conflicts and disputes with others. PM Julia Gillard will also have transiting Pluto 90 degrees from her Sun throughout 2011. In this time she is likely to overestimate her own abilities and should guard against being fanatical about things. Arrogant behavior is likely to be displayed by Julia Gillard and this may meet with a severe backlash which may well see her fall off her perch. Gillard's Sun is in her tenth house of career, so a forced (90 degrees) career change may well take place between July and November 2011. She may well separate from her partner this year. As I predicted above, she will be knifed in the back. 

If Gillard somehow survives 2011 as prime minister, she will not survive January-mid March 2012. During this whole time, transiting Saturn will be very closely conjunct (0 degrees) to her Mars. This very same combination ended Kevin Rudd's prime ministership! All Gillard's intentions will be met with restistance, where events will occur beyond her personal control. She will be brought to her knees, as Rudd was. 

Gillard's relocation chart for Canberra is telling. It shows Neptune within 3 degrees of her seventh house. This shows love relationships which dissolve and a place where she consatntly makes appalling decisions (pink batts, schools' halls scandal, etc)

PM Julia Gillard’s horoscope has some telling astrological aspects, in particular her ruthless eradication of rivals: Gillard’s Jupiter conjunct Saturn indicates: the attainment of far-reaching objectives through hard work and perseverance; a quick irritability with others; a tenacious pursuit of one’s plans. Gillard’s Venus conjunct Pluto shows: extraordinary power of sexual attraction; a fanatic in love and art. Sadly, she has Saturn 135 degrees from this combination, which amounts to a tragic love life. Julia Gillard also has Mars 45 degrees Pluto indicating: attaining one’s objectives by ruthless and brutal means; a powerful athlete with “balls”; she behaves like a man; she can easily lose her temper. PM Gillard has Mars 90 degrees Jupiter: the inclination to exaggerate; hastiness or premature action (we are seeing this all the time); a propagandist; a lawyer; managing director.

 

Rectification of the Horoscope of Australia

Douglas Parker has been  rectifying horoscopes of people and countries for over 25 years. All the major charts used in this website have been rectified by Douglas. The great majority of astrologers do not or are unable to verify (rectify) birth times because it is either too difficult or takes too long to do.

If a horoscope has the correct birth time, then as the major planets Pluto and Neptune go through the great angles (first, fourth, seventh and 10th house cusps) and the other house cusps their influence should be clear and strong.

War

The two greatest threats to Australia came during World War I and World War II.

World War I began on 5 August 1914 for Australia. Transiting Neptune was at 29° Cancer. By October 1914, transiting Neptune was at 0° Leo 27. This puts transiting Neptune conjunct (0°) to the Australian IC (fourth house cusp). In late July 1914, transiting Saturn became conjunct (0°) to the Australian Neptune. Transiting Saturn was also conjunct to the Australian Neptune between September -- November 2002 and May 2003. Stupidly and irresponsibly in March 2003, PM John Howard got Australia involved in the Iraq war.

World War II began on 1 September 1939 for Australia. Transiting Pluto was at 2° Leo, having just moved out of Cancer in late June 1939. This puts transiting Pluto conjunct (0°) to the Australian IC (fourth house cusp).

What is remarkable about these two catastrophic events in Australia's history, where so many of its brave young men died, is the fact that two great outer planets Neptune and Pluto became conjunct to the Australian IC (fourth house cusp of home and family ) when they occurred. Neptune will only go through the Australian IC once every 165 years or so, Pluto once every 248 years or so!

Neptune amongst other things rules delusion and poisonous gases. As our young men went off to World War I, they thought going to war would be a big adventure. Many of them were killed by mustard gas.

Pluto amongst other things rules birth and force majeure (overwhelming power). World War II heralded the beginning of the Nuclear Age with the annihilation of the Japanese cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima by atomic bombs in August 1945.

This is stunning evidence that Australia's IC (4th house cusp of home and family) is very close to 1° Leo.

 

Transiting Neptune through the Australian House Cusps

Transiting Neptune conjunct (0°) Australian IC or fourth house cusp. As explained in the previous section, this occurred when Australia entered World War I in 1914.

Transiting Neptune conjunct (0°) Australian fifth house cusp in 1929. Rampant and foolish (Neptune) speculation (fifth house) causes Australia's greatest stock market crash in October 1929.

Transiting Neptune conjunct (0°) Australian sixth house cusp in 1943. This shows the Australian Armed Forces (sixth house) in its greatest crisis, fighting to save Australia from invasion by the Japanese.

Transiting Neptune conjunct (0°) Australian seventh house cusp in 1956. The Murray River, Australia's  most important river, suffered its greatest flood (Neptune) in recorded history. Australian swimmers (Neptune) dominated the 1956 Olympics with eight gold, four silver and two bronze medals. Television, which is mainly fantasy (Neptune), came to Australia.

Transiting Neptune conjunct (0°) Australian eighth house cusp of money in 1969-70. A great deterioration (Neptune) in Australia's income occurred for several years. An international wheat crisis in 1969 and a sharp decline in wool prices in 1970 caused enormous financial pain (eighth house of money) to Australia. There was a recession in Australia in the early 1970s.

Transiting Neptune conjunct (0°) Australian ninth house cusp in 1982-83.

Transiting Neptune conjunct (0°) Australian MC (10th house) in 1999-2000.  Throughout 1999, there was a massive push in Australia to declare itself a Republic and separate from the mother country Britain with the Queen no longer being head of state. The 10th house rules the head of state, the government, national prestige and the nation’s aim in life. All these things were “on the table” during 1999. I believe that the great majority of the Australian People wanted a Republic. Prime Minister John Howard used subterfuge and dirty tactics (Neptune) to ensure that the question placed before the Australian public in a referendum would fail. The republican debate and the referendum itself caused the Australian people to take sides, for and against. It was arguably the most divisive (Neptune) issue in Australian politics in over a generation.

Transiting Neptune will be conjunct (0°) the Australian 11th house cusp around 2011-12. When transiting Neptune was 180° from this point in 1929, rampant and foolish (Neptune) speculation (fifth house) caused Australia's greatest stock market crash in October 1929 and led to the Great Depression. I expect for several years around this time that there is once again the possibility of very severe financial times for the Australian economy. 1929 could repeat itself again? So another Depression is quite possible.

 

Transiting Pluto through the Australian House Cusps

Transiting Pluto conjunct (0°) Australian IC or fourth house cusp. As explained in a previous section, this occurred when Australia entered World War II in September 1939.

Transiting Pluto conjunct (0°) Australian fifth house cusp in 1958-59. NIDA, the now famous National Institute of Dramatic Art, was formed in December 1958. The fifth house rules creativity and the arts.

Transiting Pluto conjunct (0°) Australian sixth house cusp in 1971-72. This coincided with a serious recession which severely affected Australian workers.

Transiting Pluto conjunct (0°) Australian seventh house cusp in 1983. The ALP began its 15 year rule with Prime Minister Bob Hawke. An extensive economic reform program and deregulation of the financial system (Pluto), including floating the dollar, was set in train. This was one of the greatest reforming (Pluto) government's in Australia's history. Before this, the Liberal party had virtually dominated Australian politics since 1950, apart from the ALP Whitlam government between November 1972 and November 1975. In 1983, Pluto radically changed the Australian political landscape.

Transiting Pluto conjunct (0°) Australian eighth house cusp in 1994-95.  This culminated in a major financial (eighth house of money) crisis around these years. Unemployment reached 10%, levels unheard of since the Great Depression of 1929-33.

The transiting Pluto conjunct (0°) Australian ninth house cusp around 2007-08. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd trying to force (Pluto) his way onto the world stage (ninth house, attention to overseas matters). Rudd spends more time overseas than any other Prime Minister in Australian history. A large increase in immigration (ninth house of foreigners).

 

Transiting Uranus through the Australian House Cusps

The transiting Uranus conjunct (0°) Australian eighth house cusp of money in 1981 to lead to the first trade deficit for 13 years. It was a massive turnaround (Uranus) compared to 1979 -- 80. The Australian economy was hit by a world recession in 1981 – 82.

 

Australian Prime Ministers

Australian Node

The Australian Node has much do with the coming and going of Australian prime ministers.

. PM Alfred Deakin resigned in November with transiting Uranus 45° and transiting Neptune 135° Australian node. Uranus = sudden upsets. Neptune = knifing in the back.

. PM Andrew Fisher resigned in April 1909 with transiting Neptune 135° Australian Node.

.  PM Ben Chifley lost an election in December 1949 with transiting Neptune 45° Australian Node throughout 1949.

. PM John Gorton resigned in March 1971 with transiting Neptune conjunct (0°) Australian Node in 1970 and to August 1978.

 . PM Bob Hawke was knifed in the back by Paul Keating in December 1991 and was forced to resign with transiting Neptune 135° Australian Node in the first 11 months of 1991.

Yet another Australian Prime Minister will fall from power between mid-2011 and late 2012, as transiting Neptune becomes 90° Australian Node. He will either lose an election or will be knifed in the back (classic Neptunian behaviour) by his party and forced to resign.
