White Revolution (Iran) Jan 26 1963

[Liam_Donovan330]

Question: What is the outlook for the White Revolution in Iran? I am referring to the Westernization of Iran in the early 1960’s.

It started on January 26, 1963.

I got into reading the Lonely Planet travel guides (they are all free on Kindle Unlimited) and started reading the founders’ first book, Across Asia on the Cheap (also on there). It’s very hip, casual, and fun. It’s about the hippie trail, traveling all across Eurasia. In the 1970’s you could pass all the way through Iran and Afghanistan on the way across the continent. Iran was even becoming a progressive, democratic country. Women could vote.

In 1979 that changed with the Iranian Revolution, ousting the shah that began the White Revolution.

So, the topic is, what is the ongoing structure of the White Revolution?

Well, astrology aside, what IS the current state of this - of things spring from that time and continuing? What have you learned?

If I have my facts right, the attack that outright expelled the Shaw was on December 11, 1978. The outer planets on that date were:

Pluto 25° Virgo
Neptune 24° Scorpio
Uranus 24° Libra
Saturn 20° Leo
Jupiter 15° Cancer

We are now very close to half a Uranus cycle later. Whatever Uranus-like cycle was inaugurated at that time should have reached some critical cycle when Uranus art 24° Capricorn completed one-fourth of the cycle (2001) and is now reaching some sort of climax.

Usually, significant outer planet aspects mark shifts that have further repercussions unfolding over the decades. I don't see any here (especially conjunctions, which tend to be inaugural). The pending Saturn-Neptune square might have been the most important.
