Argentina formally declared its independence as a nation state in 1816,
under the sensitive, intuitive sign of Cancer. This country was born
under a full Moon, and therefore whatever changes take place in the fabric
of the nation tend to occur with drama, intensity, and whole-hearted
emotional commitment. An inherent tension between Argentina's need for
global involvement and a naturally inward-looking, conservative and self-sufficient
quality in the people themselves leads to a constantly changing society
which always seeks new and better ways of living and interacting.
Uranus,
transiting through Aquarius over the next few years, will move across
Saturn in the Argentinian chart, and Pluto, transiting through Sagittarius,
will move across Neptune - both transits suggesting that challenges
in the economic and financial structures of the country will require
a rethinking
of the use of natural resources and an increased effort at establishing
greater openness in political and financial dealings both within the
country and with Argentina's neighbours. The movements of these two
outer planets may be reflected in a certain amount of economic difficulty
for
a time, but the meaning and end result are likely to be extremely positive
and involve a more realistic and flexible spirit which can help to
improve the material and social conditions of everyone living within
the country's
borders.
A little later, when Uranus moves into Pisces, it will form
a happy and dynamic aspect to Argentina's Sun, suggesting that the
period of difficulty and readjustment will be followed by a time of
optimism, buoyancy, and creative inspiration. Argentina's Sun forms a
dynamic
aspect
to Pluto in the country's birth chart, suggesting that this nation
has been through many incarnations and will have many more, always
rising from its internal crises to renew its strength and surprise the
world
yet again. The next few years are likely to reflect such a period
of tension
and rebirth.
