North Korea nuclear test

As a result of the October 9th nuclear test by North Korea, Kim
Jong Il (Feb 16 1942, no time) and his bizarre retro-Stalinist regime
have moved into the limelight. There are a couple of telling patterns
in his chart that show his desire to standout. Transit Ketu (1 Virgo)
is aspecting his natal Uranus (29 Aries). Natally, his Uranus is square
his Sun, making this contact quite pivotal for the whole chart. This transit
effect pushes Kim to act suddenly and impulsively since these are
significations of both Uranus and Ketu.

A source of difficulty for Kim is the applying Saturn (29 Cancer)
opposition to his natal Sun (3 Aquarius). The November station of
Saturn will coincide with intense pressure and opposition to his rule.
No doubt some level of UN sanctions against North Korea will pass by
then and begin to hit hard. The Saturn-Sun opposition is one of the
most difficult aspects so I would expect the mood in Pyongyang to
grimmer than usual.

Look for Kim's problems to multiply over the next one to two years.
His secondary progressed Sun squares his Pluto. This shows power
struggles and confrontations where he comes out on the losing end.
January 2007 looks like there may be some significant incident
involving foreign governments that doesn't go his way. This may
involve some military dimension, but it doesn't look major. I would
expect more armed opposition to North Korea later in 2007 as Saturn
again opposes his Sun and Pluto conjoins his natal Mars. At the end
of 2007, the nodes will aspect both his Sun and Mars, the planet of
violence. This time will also coincide with secondary progressed Mars
squaring Pluto in Kim's chart. This is a classic Western signature
for violence. While it is hard to be definite about predictions when
the birth time is not known, but the late 2007 early 2008 period looks
very dangerous for Kim and his repressive regime. His days as Dear
Leader may be numbered.
