Fact 14
Sidereal Sun Sign Dominance of Africa States
Of all the Sun signs and their attendant constellations that show up in modern Africa’s natal horoscopes, the majority are sidereal Gemini and Cancer. The energies of Gemini and Cancer make up 46.3% of Africa’s overall sidereal Sun distribution.
The African Union was born in sidereal Gemini and this constellation is the overall qualitative energy that envelops this union of 55 states. It exercises an influence over all the political and social strata of Africa.
Esoterically, the Moon and Mercury are related to the 4th Ray. This ray energy pertains to harmony via conflict.
Germane to tropical Gemini, Obiri Yeboa laid the ground, while Pluto was in Gemini, for his nephew, Osei Tutu, to further develop the Ashanti Empire, during Pluto’s stay in Cancer. When the African Union was born, on 9 July 2002, there were five planets in Cancer: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter. It appears as a homage to the power inherent in Cancer, to bring diverse families together under one banner. Recall Earth’s conjunction with Jupiter’s heliocentric South Node in Cancer, the AfCTRA chart.
The African Union’s tropical chart ruler is Venus in Leo, in the 11th House opposed Uranus in the 5th. This echoes the energies that helped shape the Ashanti Union, when we see the influence of Uranus in Aquarius, to electrify a sense of group participation and organization. As one author on Ashanti wrote: Obiri Yeboa …admitted the ruling lineages of most of the states in the neighborhood of Kumasi into the Oyoko clan, after he ensured their co-operation (Aquarius) by peaceful negotiations…’
