Planets' Meanings in Political Astrology

Planets' Meanings in Political Astrology, a Branch of Mundane Astrology

Here's my list so far:

Sun: supreme authority such as US President, Prime Minister, Chancellor, CEO, leadership. (Solar eclipses may denote the death or displacement of the head of state, national character and identity, major events, problems, or turning points for government in the eclipse year.)

Moon: the populace, we-the-people, the popular mood, national security needs, basic necessities, women's issues, health, agriculture, nurturing, our daily rounds, the general emotional weather.

Mercury: news media and the press, announcements, negotiations, pacts, literature, all schooling up to higher educational levels (Jupiter), young people, the post office, all communications, thinking and planning, political speeches, opinion polls, transportation, sales, commerce, and trade.

Venus: females, evaluations, smaller amounts of money, relationships, partnerships, unions; if afflicted: disease, arrogance, vengeance, defeat in war, anger, jealousy.

Mars: males between ages 25--35 or so, military and police forces, violence, criminals, war, industrial concerns, arsonists; combined with Uranus, Mars may cause explosions, terrorism, attacks, gun violence; with Neptune, treachery, misguided motivations or actions, divisive elements in society, activists, protests, strikes.

Jupiter: clergy, churches, and religion, judges, law and legal systems, higher education, prosperity, publishing, banking, insurance; the upper classes; philanthropic institutions, especially if associated with Neptune; Jupiter and Neptune = speculators, wastrels, spendthrifts, inflation, grandiose planners.

Saturn: property, government, the system, institutions and bureaucracy, conservatism, infrastructure, law, control, repression; with Jupiter, Saturn is associated with financial and business cycles (contraction v expansion); with Uranus, Saturn signifies the Middle East, especially Palestine and Israel.

Uranus: revolution, progressive or radical movements, riots, counter-cultures; physical power such as electrical and nuclear, new technology, innovation; genius or sudden insight; the future; with Neptune, Uranus = The Enlightened Ones, establishing a New Order to replace the Old.

Neptune: the arts, glamour, the media, the masses, hope, idealism, covert actions, socialism; hospitals, charitable institutions; the navy or Marines. If afflicted: fraud, crime, scandal, deception, illusions, falsehoods, grand scams; brewing and alcohol, drugs; chemicals, oil, gas, water, footwear, oceans; with Pluto, Neptune = the Robber Baron class of the 1880s, resource plunderers, Organized Crime.

Pluto: financial or political power, factions, oligarchies, big business, nuclear energy, mines and tunnels, the Dragon Guarding the Riches; if afflicted: the criminal underworld, death, catastrophe, dictators; The Global Syndicate; criminal detectives, spies, surveillance, the power/s behind the throne, The Pope, assassins, saboteurs, secretive men in cloaks of power.

As Pluto traverse Capricorn as does now (2011), the Earth's resources and wealth are steadily concentrated within a very few hands. Perhaps you've noticed...
