On May 28,2023 Turkey has its first run off vote. This is only the third time Turks have voted directly for their president. Election turnout is incredibly high in Turkey 89% of the population voted in May 14 and an expected 84- 85 % turnout will happen tomorrow. Erdogan won the 2014 and 2018 polls in the first round. In the May 14 polls, incumbent President Recep Tayyip Erdogan scored 49.5 percent of the ballots, while the candidate of the main opposition alliance, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, acquired 44.8 percent.
Erdogan has governed the country for the past 20 years, first as prime minister from 2003, then as president from 2014 onwards. He has shaped modern Turkey more than any other politician and is seeking to extend his power for another five years.
In spite of the ongoing economic crisis and the negligence of the government during and after the devastating earthquake, Erdogan still got nearly 50 percent,” when many younger people opposed to Erdogan felt the new challenger Kemal Kilicdarogly {KK} could win.
Let’s look at Turkey’s natal chart,born October 29, 1923, 8:30 pm Ankara . Erdegon’s and his opponent’s astrology charts, too
The last Eclipse May 5 at 14 SCORPIO conjuncts Natal VENUS-women, money and VESTA in the 5th house of creativity, drama. self-expression an open hearted will power. This opens a window for the next 6 months focusing on women forces.
The upcoming OCTOBER 28 Lunar Eclipse at 5 degrees TAURUS is exactly opposite Turkeys SUN and conjunct the upcoming rare Jupiter-politics, international affairs, justice, faith, and freedom of publishing at 3 degrees TAURUS conjunct the North Node. The South Node is on the country SUN the current leaders ship is sinking.
May 28. Turkey is in its’ 2nd CHIRON RETURN , meaning it’s vulnerable and wounded and in need of healing.
SATURN-the reality planet of limits obstacles, maturity and the patriarchy, controls the conservative element, is sitting on its’ SOUTH NODE-the past, the old in PISCES-out with old.
MARS in LEO-the action, the passion is square its’ controlling SCORPIO Sun.THE MOON representing women and the PEOPLE is on Turkeys North Node in VIRGO-they want a down to earth leader.
Revolutionary change planet URANUS in TAURUS in Turkey’s 10th house of world fame is square Natal NEPTUNE in LEOpride, illusions, projection, debt, inflation opposite VENUS/VESTA and JUPITER which means Revolutionary change is inevitable and coming.
Turkey Has its VENUS and VESTAm root of investments, at the 19th degree of SCORPIO called the Cursed degree. Turkey’s leader would be symbolized by the planet ruling its 10th house of public fame which is PISCES traditionally ruled by JUPITER in SCORPIO or NEPTUNE in LEO both signs indicating dictaorships, underhanded dealings, spying, money laundering, corruption, control and religious gaslighting.
PLUTO at 0 Aquarius RX in Turkeys 8th house of transformation, recycling, and other people’s money is slowing moving up to square Turkey’s Sun at 5 Scorpio. Five years from now this aspect will be in a direct revolutionary change to where Turkey is now.
JUPITER and NORTH NODE are having a rare once in 94 year fated conjunction-exact on June 1st and in effect now- this is opposing Turkeys’s sun. Meaning the South Node is on the Sun indicating the old force is out.
Fascinatingly in challenger Kemal Kiliçdaroglu Astrology his North Node at 3 degrees Taurus coincides with this very rare once in 94 year Jupiter North Node of Fate conjunction at 3 degrees Taurus, June 1st applying now and Pluto in Aquarius is squaring those nodes. He could win if the election isn’t rigged. Erdogan accuses all of his opposition of being terrorist leaders and won’t let them get any media coverage.
NEPTUNE the planet that rules Turkey’s religious MC is in the 10th house at 27 degrees and is squaring Turkey’s Natal Moon at 29 GEMINI in its 12th HOUSE which symbolizes the women and the popular mood. Moon in the 12th is keeping women down. Neptune can indicate illusions, projections and idealizations. It is ephemeral and unreal. Neptune rules Oil, and water, Turkey’s location is critical to the West and Turkey has gotten increasingly conservative Islamic fundamentalism and turned away from its former more democratic Western ways. Women are the unseen force which can topple power.
SUN at 6 Gemini is squaring the nodes indicated this double-take and a sense of power being in the balance.
Erdogan was born February 26,1954,4:25 pm ISTAMBUL. His transits show the SOUTH NODE in SCORPIO conjunct his Saturn, the planet of elders, reality, history, fathers, limitations, obstacles endings and respect. This indicates the populace wants him out of power.
Transiting SATURN is sitting on his PISCES SUN. Saturn can consolidate power but in Pisces this dissolves what was formerly real. Saturn can be the establishment of power but also the end of it. Saturn conjunct the SUN is a hard, depressing, difficult once in 29 year transit, shows limitations of the illusions, of power and delusions and projections.
Transiting URANUS IN TAURUS in his 4th house of an internal revolution from within is squaring his PLUTO-power and control Plutocrats. This does not look good for Erdogan.
VENUS at 21 degrees in CANCER is conjunct revolutionary change and chaotic upsets URANUS and the SOUTH NODE in the natal chart and square natal NEPTUNE in LIBRA don’t underestimate the power women have to create revolutionary change. Pluto has already been crossing his CHIRON, his wounds- and this will enter again June 11 at Pluto regresses back into Capricorn again and this pattern reoccurs into late 2024.
KK, has transiting NEPTUNE at 27 PISCES in his 12th house of being invisible squaring his own Uranus in GEMINI at 26 degrees. The North Node Jupiter conjunction on his NORTH NODE is very powerful.
My sense is Erdogan could lose in a surprise change. The Moon is in Virgo on May 28 and crossed the North Node of the country.
Even if Erdogan does win again as he is corrupt and controls the media he won’t last long. In 5 years if not before the young people will revolt against the old regimes.
