You could say it's a case of the control needs of Saturn having to rise to the surface. There is a controversy brewing both abroad and in China itself over a decision to dub the voice of a 9-year old girl singing Ode to the Motherland in the opening ceremonies. Apparently Chinese organizers thought the singer didn't have the right "look", so they got a more photogenic little girl to take her place. It has also come to light that Chinese television added computer-generated fireworks to enhance the spectacle of the opening ceremonies.
All of this supports the strong role of Saturn in the chart of the opening ceremonies. As I had suggested last week, the influence of Saturn would mean that the games would be seen as regimented and perhaps sterile, something that is more likely given these revelations for a heavily stage-managed presentation.
This is in keeping with my prediction of some kind of "confusion or technical malfunction" that was possible around the 11th owing to Mercury's vulnerable position in the China natal horoscope. While not a strictly technical problem, the exposure of this bit of excessive manipulation is broadly in keeping with the notion of a malfunction of planning that has blown up in organizers faces.
Meanwhile, the violence is heating up in the Western province of Xinjian, as three security officers will stabbed to death yesterday, the NY Times reports. This follows another bombing in Western China by Muslim separatists took place on the 10th and resulted in the deaths of ten people. This is yet another instance of violence during the Games that can be seen in the charts of China and the Olympics.
