Started around Dec 2010 and Jan 2011. Tunisia first.


>The Arab Spring began between December 2010 and January 2011, starting in Tunisia. It was a series of anti-government protests, uprisings, and armed rebellions that spread across much of the Arab world.

From an astrological perspective, this period was marked by the influence of three major planets: Pluto, associated with upheaval and profound transformation; Uranus, governing rebellion and revolution; and Jupiter, representing expansion and growth.

These three planets formed a square aspect in the sky—an angle of approximately 90 degrees—which is considered a tense and dynamic configuration, often associated with conflict and major change.

At the time, Pluto was in the constellation of Sagittarius. Sagittarius is traditionally associated with philosophy, religion, and long-distance travel. On its negative side, it can also manifest as uncontrollable and erratic behavior. This dual nature is why the ancients symbolized Sagittarius as a centaur: half-human, half-horse. The human half represents intellect and higher philosophy, while the horse half symbolizes raw instinct and an undisciplined nature.

Meanwhile, Uranus was in conjunction (an angle of approximately 0 degrees) with Jupiter. A conjunction blends the energies of the planets involved. Here, the rebellious, revolutionary energy of Uranus was amplified and expanded by Jupiter.

Furthermore, Pluto was in a square aspect (±90°) to Jupiter. This created tension between the transformative, chaotic power of Pluto and the expanding force of Jupiter, exacerbating the widespread instability.

Finally, both Jupiter and Uranus were in the constellation of Pisces. Pisces is associated with the collective, the masses, and the common people, suggesting that this expansive revolutionary energy was directly impacting the populace at large."
