Haiti: Chaos and Crisis 2024

Transit Saturn 2024 Hits Haiti's Pluto-Moon Opposition

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the commmon good

Currently in Haiti, we find the stressful Saturn-Pluto duo affecting the Virgo-Pisces victim-savior axis as its leader resigns, cowers in Puerto Rico, and fears of widespread violence overtake the victimized population.

For details, see msn's Violence, Politics, and Hunger in Haiti. As you know, the chaos has simmered since the catastrophic 7.0 earthquake of January 12, 2010 which devastated Haiti and its people, and placed the island's national debt under global scrutiny. See Naomi Klein warns on Haiti disaster capitalism, a vintage post that also contains notes on the founding 1804 Horoscope of Haiti.

A Difficult Astrological Picture of Harsh Events

Now a Moon-Pluto opposition tends to attract violence and crime unless it can be used positively as a deep well of creativity. Yet there are now both positive and negative transits to Haiti's 1804 planets. Consider the following bi-wheel which is based on the February 1, 2024 transit of karmic Saturn, planet of restriction and limitation (ex: starvation, deprivation, fear) hitting Haiti's 1804 Pluto opposing its Virgo Moon, a picture of mental and emotional suffering. The bi-wheel provides an astro-snapshot of that and other planetary contacts ongoing and upcoming; my study notes are messily penned on for the curious reader.

Horoscopes: Haiti January 1, 1804 Gonaives 12:00 pm LMT (inner; Campion #146) and Transit Saturn Conjunct Haiti's Pluto-Moon Opposition February 1, 2024 Gonaives, Haiti:

Naturally, we tend to associate societal "chaos" with disruptive planet Uranus, now in earthy Taurus; shown in the bi-wheel is transit Uranus in Haiti's 2nd house of Money and Possessions aligning to oppose Haiti's 8th house Neptune @25Sco05--the House of Debt and Credit. So currently, Haiti suffers Uranian trouble on the financial Taurus-Scorpio axis of control and manipulation. This stressful transit will be exact three times with the first opposition coming on June 17, 2024, the second on November 20, 2024, and the third in 2025. Uranus opposing Neptune: fraud, illusion, and even masked marauders.

Now I realize that posting this bi-wheel today does absolutely nothing for the good people of Haiti, and so I offer my heartfelt prayers for their safety and for the strength to make it through yet another devastating crisis as larger forces battle one another for governmental, political, and financial control of their country. For like the good people of Ukraine and Gaza, the Haitian people deserve much better than they're getting.

Naomi Klein warns on Haiti disaster capitalism

Original post begins here:

Democracy Now has the Jan 13, 2010 interview text and video of author Naomi Klein concerning the Jan 12 earthquake disaster in Haiti and the threat of shock doctrine capitalism to this impoverished and on-its-knees nation.

In a comment on this blog yesterday I mentioned my lack of trust that the US government (and others) are being honest relief-bringers to the people of Haiti. Well, I wasn't searching for the above info but it turned up during a cyber-ramble for Haiti's date of independence.

Slave Uprising Leads to Independence

Haiti's revolutionaries declared independence from France on January 1, 1804, hour unknown, at Gonaives. Our slave owners President George Washington and Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson erred on the side of supporting France and Napoleon in the uprising.

'Erred' is only my modern word, but their historic mistake.

For as we see demonstrated before our eyes each day, rich plutocrats do like to stick together and they'll support or install any dictator who dances to their capitalist tune in order to make everything a one-sided win-win - but only for them.
