In 2018, the Dalai Lama made the following statement regarding China. This especially was concerning the spiritual direction for that nation and relations between the Tibetan Autonomous region and China:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is possible that after just five years China will undergo great change. At present the situation in China is evolving with great impetus. Now there are many Chinese officials and those who are educated who do not call the Dalai Lama a splittist but instead they express the need for us to develop a relationship, and their voices are growing louder. In particular the Chinese people have high hopes for this and such news has also appeared recently in Chinese newspapers. Since making India my permanent home I have felt at times that if I could visit China and Tibet then there would be much benefit for China and Tibet.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The statement<\/span><\/a> was made at a meeting where he was greeting the reincarnation, recently found, of the one he calls \u201cAustralian Lama<\/a><\/span>\u201d for the first time. It has a special meaning for me, but that is beside our purpose here. There were a couple of key phrases in his statement that warrant our attention regarding the unfolding situation with China. Actually, it has nothing to do with the Hong Kong protests, which are actually a more isolated matter than the general changes the nation is undergoing. The general changes especially are: 1) the Belt and Road Initiative, and 2) the trade war that is taking place now, specifically with the United States. The astrology is proving to be quite interesting in the near future. The Dalai Lama\u2019s statement refers more likely to a subjective change that is sweeping through the nation, possibly with an event indicated a bit later in this piece.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the third of the articles on what\u2019s going on with China. To start, one thing we have not done in the past two<\/a><\/span> articles on China<\/span><\/a>, is to look at China\u2019s national chart, the founding of the People\u2019s Republic of China. The chart is below (bigger<\/a><\/span>):<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The PRC was founded on 1 Oct 1949 at 3:01 pm in Beijing, by pronouncement by Chairman Mao. The immediate thing that stands out is the cardinal t-square with revolutionary Uranus at the apex of a Sun\/Eris opposition. Of interest is that Uranus is at the infamous degree of the Sabian symbol: At a railroad crossing, and automobile is wrecked by a train\u201d. China was born out of revolution. It will never be anyone\u2019s vassal and it was always going to be a challenge to the existing order. That is never likely to change with its current governmental structure. China is one of the truest expressions of Libra\u2019s \u2018iron fist in the velvet glove\u2019 approach to world relations. The Chinese come across as very accommodating at first, and then over time people and nations come around to their way of thinking, if you get the drift.<\/span><\/p>\n

The base opposition in the t-square straddles the 2nd<\/sup>\/8th<\/sup> house axis \u2013 banking, international banking and finance. There again, its actions worldwide are revolutionary, as we see now with its moves to multi-polarity in the world financial order. It is offering an alternative to the SWIFT-based-dollar-based system. And this is where China\u2019s difficulties arise, because they buck the system. We\u2019ll look at that shortly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, we see a septile triangle including the Sun, Mars and Jupiter. Septile triangles represent a visionary approach to life and give a way of seeing things that is out of the ordinary. With that combination, China has a bold and expansive outlook, taking on large projects, as witness with its infrastructure and social progress (despite what we hear in the western press). Not only have they pulled 500 million people out of the worst forms of poverty, but their vision of world cooperation, ruled by international law and win-win relations between partners is winning over nation after nation \u2013 again, despite what we hear in the western press. This is reflected in the PRC Aquarius Ascendant, with the Sabian symbol of, \u201cAn unexpected thunderstorm.\u201d That will have significance as the discussion unfolds, but it also reflects the fact that no one initially expected the Chinese to do as well as they have.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, there is the little stellium of Ceres, Neptune and Ixion, which again speaks of independence, especially of independent women. This is in a close sextile with Mars, which gives a magnetic influence with others, broad intuitive powers and adds to the mental abilities. China has made big strides in technology in just a few decades, from being before an overpopulated, poor backwater.<\/span><\/p>\n

As to China\u2019s wealth and luck, that is indicated by the Moon\/Sun trine, giving quite a bit of luck in life (it is one of the \u2018lucky\u2019 aspects) with the Moon on the Ascendant in the 1st<\/sup> house (its people as a resource) and the Sun in the 8th<\/sup> (foreign investment, international banking, and in a way that has transformed the society). It is further shown by the Venus\/Jupiter sextile, one of the \u2018money aspects\u2019, in that it creates the urge to acquire \u2018the good things in life\u2019, which they have done. But it also makes for ease in relating with people, draws friends to them and so forth, especially considering that Jupiter co-rules the Ascendant. The latter is especially important in any business relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n

The last point to take up is the Mars\/Pluto conjunction, and that is square the Ceres\/Venus\/Ixion conjunction. It is a combination that can make for strange bedfellows, to borrow the phrase. It is behind their failed one-child policy, forced abortions in the past and now for their rapidly aging population which is a very real weak point for their economy. With the 5th<\/sup> house (children) Uranus that policy was accentuated. In turn, Venus makes a sesquisquare with Uranus, which also points to relationships that are out of the ordinary and not necessarily long term.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mars\/Pluto conjunction points to their powerful military, and adds a repressive tone to the chart when they are challenged. It is in the 7th<\/sup> house (litigation, public enemies, partnerships, combativeness). On the other side, it speaks to the tremendous progress they have made in their infrastructure, technology, society and science, because that conjunction gives a powerful focus to their energies when it is well-directed. When it is not directed well, it can give a tendency to sit and wait too long, because the Plutonian side can sabotage the Martian side.<\/span><\/p>\n

With these points in mind, we mentioned in the 1st<\/sup> article of this series that China has directed Saturn on the Midheaven now, which is dampening their progress, holding the government\u2019s feet to the fire and casting a pall over their initiatives. Mention was made at the start of the two areas that are facing China in this period \u2013 the BRI and the trade war. There are several factors that are immediately causing trouble for China and which they face now and in the near future:<\/span><\/p>\n
