Poland and 15º Aquarius

Originally published: September 23rd, 2014. | Author: Smiljana Gavrančić 

When Hitler invaded Poland on September 1st, 1939., which is the official start of World War 2, the cusp of his directive 3rd house (representing series 6- army from series 10- him as a ruling figure) was on 15º Aquarius! This could be an image of German army in Poland, due to the fact that my research led me to the conclusion that 15º Aquarius is a place inside the Zodiac which we can link to Poland, a country with such a tragic and exciting history, a country torn apart by Hitler and Stalin on the beggining of WW2, but judging on the 15th, royal degree of humane and visionary Aquarius, a country with a central place and an easy cooperation with Brussels as the head quarters of both European Union and NATO (sextile with 15º Aries – you can read more about it in my article Belgium and 15º Aries). A country open for everything new and confusing to others at the time. Since the Moon (people) of present German chancellor Angela Merkel is on 15º Aquarius, this could be the image of a strong connection between German and Polish people. Enemies in the past, friends in the present, and important partners inside the NATO, EU...

The Warsaw pact, 1955.

 

The moment when the Warsaw pact was signed on May 14th, 1955. also speaks about the importance of  15º Aquarius, a pact signed as a reaction to forming of NATO. On that day, exactly at noon, Moon was on  15º Aquarius! Also, in the chart of Nikita Hruschov, the man who made this contract, and who was the Soviet leader at the time – the cusp of 8th house (wars, confrontations, weaponry) was also on 15º Aquarius!

The Solidarity sindicate

15º Aquarius could also represent Lech Wałęsa who won the prestigious Nobel prize for peace in 1983. - 15º as a central, royal degree of humane Aquarius (it’s also known that the Nobel prize was established in Sweden, a country with Aquarian symbolism, which is also a monarchy, evoking the royal degree).  Lech Wałęsa was the first democratic president of Poland, a mean leading the well known Solidarity syndicate (again, symbolising the sign of Aquarius – syndicates, organizations) which was founded on August 31st, 1980. in Poland, which fought for democratic changes and the end of communism in this country.

The three charts of Poland

The year of establishment of Poland is considered to be 966. when count Mieszko accepted Christianity (the First Poland’s chart). Poland lost its independence during the end of 18th century, to regain it after World War 1, on November 11th, 1918. (The Second Poland’s chart). Then came World War 2, and Poland suffered many losses. After war, Poland was a part of the Eastern Bloc, greatly influenced by the Soviets (The beforementioned pact of Warsaw). During the revolution in 1989. came an end to the communist regime. According to Nicholas Champion (“The Book of World Horoscopes”) the modern, democratic Poland was established on August 24th, 1989., 1:05PM, in Warsaw, Poland – the moment when Tadeusz Mazowicki was elected as the first noncommunist prime minister in Central and Eastern Europe since 1946. Ascendant was on 18º Scorpio, while the Moon (people) was positioned on 10º Gemini. However, many Polish astrologers mention as an important date for the chart of Third Poland December 31st, 1989., 00:00AM, in Warsaw, Poland, when significant changes of Constitution happened, as the highest act of every country.

I used all three charts in this research, using the moment on December 31st as a base for the chart of modern Poland, because it features Moon in Aquarius, like the other two horoscopes, which I found very significant.

If we take a look at directions of the chart of First Poland in 996. in the moment when it regained its independence on November 11th, 1918. (which is also the date of establishment of Second Poland), we’ll find Mars on 15º Aquarius, which is the ruler of 10th house (reputation of the country, ruling figures) with a cusp on 29º Aries, but also the ruler of intercepted sign of Scorpio in 4th house (territory) in this chart...

Now, let’s focus on directions of Second Poland’s chart in the moment when Tadeusz Mazowiecky was elected for the first noncommunist prime minister in Central and Eastern Europe since 1946. It happened on August 24th, 1989. Directive Mercury of Second Poland was exactly on 15º Aquarius! Mercury rules the 9th house in the chart of Second Poland, which represents privilleged society members, such as ministers and prime ministers...

Poland became a member of NATO on March 12th, 1999. If we take a look at secondary progressions of First Poland’s chart on that date, we see secondary Venus (ruler of Sun on 0º Taurus on MC) on 15º Aquarius!

However, if we take a look at directions of the chart of modern Poland in the moment of joining the NATO pact, 10 years after the fall of communism, we’ll find directive Venus (ruler of natal Ascendant on  10º Libra) also on  15º Aquarius!

The next important step was gaining full membership in the European Union. Poland became a member on May 1st 2014. It remains to this day the only member of EU which managed to avoid recession. Isn’t this symbolism of  15º Aquarius?!A contry which is making speeding progress, using funds offered by EU even above set limits, completely avoiding recession, becoming an exporter of food, building more than 10.000 kilometers of roads, airports, cultural and science centers, museums, stadiums... 

In the end, let’s take a glance at the position of progressed Sun (reputation) in the chart of Second Poland in the moment when Poland became a member of the European Union. It’s, of course, 15º Aquarius.

Looking back at more events and people important for Poland, we need to mention the famous astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus which could fit into the symbolism of royal (15º) place in Aquarius (astronomy)... Also, Poland is famous for Pope John Paul II, who was the first Pope to step foot inside a mosque and a sinagogue... All of this is symbolism of humane and open-minded Aquarius, which understands the right to be different...

Poland is traditionally connected to two signs, Taurus, but also Aquarius, while the isolated degree to which this contry is particularily sensitive could definitely be in the sign of Aquarius, and it’s the central, most important degree - 15º.

"Avatar degree"

At the end, we should add that each 15º of any fixed sign (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) is known in astrology as the so-called "Avatar degree", as it forms 45º (semi-square) with 0º of each cardinal sign (0º Aries, 0º Cancer, 0º Libra, 0º Capricorn). These are very challenging and "sensitive" degrees in the Zodiac (15º of fixed signs), which is why it is no wonder that Poland is precisely located at 15º Aquarius, having in mind that it has always been some sort of a “buffer zone” between Russia and the West...
