Coup d'etat in Thailand

[Jim Eshelman]

PRECIS
Solar: Moon, Jupiter, Mars, Pluto. Moon-Mars-Jupiter-Pluto.
Lunar: Sun, Mercury. Sun-Mercury.
Day: Saturn. Moon-Venus, Moon-Mars, Moon-Jupiter.

At approximately 5:00 PM Zone -7 (3:00 AM PDT), May 22, 2014, the Thai army announced that it had taken control of the country in a coup d'état. It was “necessary to seize power,” the Thai military chief claimed on national television. Martial law had been introduced on Tuesday. Coups are common in Thailand.

Year: Capsolar
An elegant (that is, brutally accurate) chart. Many the same planets are on the angles as in Washington. Moon-Jupiter conjunction (opposite Pluto) is along the meridian, with Jupiter and Moon also square the Ascendant, Mars sets, Uranus rises, etc. The closest planets include:
Moon 1°50' from IC
Jupiter 2°50' from IC
Mars 2°50' from Descendant
-- Mars-Jupiter mundane square 0°00' in mundo
Pluto 0°31' from MC
Moon & Jupiter op. Pluto < 3° in mundo with Mo/Pl 0°21' from meridian
Mars similarly square Pluto in mundo (same as Jupiter)
Moon-Mars square in mundo 1°00'

Quarter: Arisolar
The Arisolar is dormant.

Month: Caplunar
The Caplunar is dormant, as are the prior Liblunar and Canlunar.

The last non-dormant lunar ingress is the April 28 Arilunar which is pretty neutral. Mercury is 0°11' from the MC, conjunct Sun 2°30' from MC. "Government announcement," sure... not too useful, though.

Day: Capsolar Quotidian & Transits
CapQ Asc sq. t. Saturn 0°52'
CapQ MC op. s. Saturn 0°24'
CapQ Moon sq. CapQ Mars 0°25' sep
CapQ Moon op. CapQ Venus 0°52' ap. [I guess it was peaceful?]
t. Jupiter conj. CapQ Moon 0°29'
-----------------------------------------
t. Pluto conj. Capsolar MC (1°18'), op. Capsolar Moon (0°41')
t. Uranus conj. Capsolar Asc (0°41')

Day: Cansolar Quotidian & Transits
CanQ Asc sq. t. Jupiter (0°19')
---------------------------------------
t. Neptune sq. Cansolar Asc (1°41')
