Thailand

The recent Mars station at 29 Aries (Lahiri) exactly conjoined the ascendant on the Thailand chart. This is certainly not a harbinger of good things.

The upcoming Saturn station at 17 Cp will oppose the 10th house Pluto within less than one degree. This suggests huge stress involving government and leaders.

Also in November, Uranus will station within one degree of quincunxing the Moon. This will create more energy that will require an outlet.

Transit Ketu at 19 Vi is closely aspecting the 2nd house Mars at the moment which suggests a greater than likely chance of violence or disturbance.

Short term, I'm looking for a problem to befall the govt around October 10th, possibly a scandal or economic problem.

By November, pressures will increase. This time looks more violent. The end of October looks unstable in particular, as does 14/15 November.

The chart is running Jupiter-Moon dasha. Although the Moon is apparently well-placed in Cancer in the 4th house, it should be noted that the previous Moon subperiod occurred in 1991-3, a time of great upheaval that saw the imposition of martial law by an unpopular military dictatorship and the "Bloody May" protests that left hundreds of students dead in Bangkok. Only after the intervention of the King was calm restored. General Suchinda eventually left the country and was replaced by a civilian adminstration.

It is worth noting that Mars is the only planet that falls in a Moon-owned nakshatra.
