Ascendant for the chart is 2 Leo. Sabian Symbol "An epidemic of mumps".
Significator for the protest/protesters is Sun.
Sun in Libra, in 3H.
Sun conjuncts Atlantis
Sun is in 3rd house of communication. They express themselves through this protest for they really want their words to be made known. However Sun is in Libra, at its fall. A very weak position to be in, getting their words out. Sun's conjunction with Atlantis acts as a reminder of past mistakes/event being repeated again and that caution should be taken (Tiananmen Square Protests of 1989).
Co-significator for the protesters is Moon.
Moon is in Scorpio, in 4H and intercepted.
Moon is at its fall and intercepted. Moon doesn't feel happy about certain things happening in their homeland (4H) but they can't express themselves.
Significator for HK government or the chief executive (CY Leung) would be Mars.
Mars is in Sagittarius, in 5H.
He cares about the "children" of Hong Kong. Most of the people involved in the protests are the younger generation, youths and students.
Sun is in Mars' detriment.
The protesters do not like CY very much. Being in detriment and in negative reception, there's a passive aggressive attitude towards Mars.
Significator for China government would be 7th house ruler, Saturn.
Since China is trying to vet the selection of candidates, they appear to be the open enemy (7H).
Saturn is in Scorpio, in 4th house and intercepted.
Saturn is in his 10th turned house and intercepted.
China doesn't want to express its position publicly. There's some holding back on voicing her opinion as she wants to keep it private.
Mars receives Saturn in Scorpio
CY Leung receives China well but China doesn't really care about him.
Sun in Saturn's exaltion
The protesters or Hong Kongers actually do respect China very much than people think.
The significator for 3rd house of communication would be Mercury.
Mercury in Libra, conjuncts IC
Mercury conjuncts Asteroid Hong Kong
It appears the spreading of information through protest is at the last degree of Libra. It's a little last-minute desperate attempt, but is also heartfelt from the soul about the unfairness of their system.
As of now, Venus has entered Libra and Mercury has entered Scorpio. Moon is in Capricorn.
Venus is hidden under Sun's beams for a few more days. Venus rules the 4th house, house of family and also stability.
When Venus was in Virgo and at its fall and the Hong Kongers were feeling insecure about their home. Although now Venus is domicile in Libra (strong), the Sun is hiding it. Sun here would be the protestors. And Sun is weaker since it is at its fall. Perhaps it means that Hong Kongers do feel secure about their situation but the current protest has been concealing it instead. When Venus is no longer under Sun's beams, we will find out that they are actually secure and safe and not chaotic as media can sometimes portray. They just want fairness and justice (Libra).
Mercury moves into Scorpio. Mars receives Mercury well.
----
I didn't finish the reading as I needed rest. :\
I feel the protest is weak attempt due to Sun being in Libra (detriment).
So during this whole period, I think the protest wasn't achieving much as it would like to achieve. Mercury has also just turned retrograde in Scorpio towards Libra. There is however a kite formation with Sun-Venus conjunction (12 Libra) driving the fire trine so it is still going somewhere. In 2 days, Sun will sextile Mars and Sun will also perfect the kite.
I look at the transits today and realize that Venus would be under Sun's beams for the whole period of Sun's transit in Libra (until 23 October). :\
Venus would then get combust by Sun when Sun moves into Scorpio.
The strongest moment i can see would be Sun cazimi with Venus, which would be on 24 October 2014. There's actually a Sun-Moon-Venus conjunction and a partial solar eclipse on 23 October ( probably 24 October for Hong Kong time). I do not know if it has anything to do with the protest but it can possibly be a big move towards something.
