There’s trouble in Jamaica and it’s got a lot to do with a businessman called Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke.
The United States government believes that Christopher Coke has been involved in drugs and arms trafficking, and it wants the Jamaican government to extradite him. After some hesitation, the Jamaicans agreed, and attempts were made to arrest him.
So far these attempts have not just been unsuccessful, they’ve also been disastrous. In parts of Kingston, which is the Jamaican capital, Christopher Coke is regarded as a hero. He supposedly helps the poor, provides education for those that can’t afford it and even keeps the streets comparatively safe. And because of the loyalty he has attracted, there was massive resistance to the police action, which led to calamitous riots, that have taken the lives of dozens of people.
As to the astrology of the situation, it’s probably yet another manifestation of the Jupiter-Saturn opposition. Indeed the unrest broke out on May 23, the very day that the opposition was exact. The Jupiter-Saturn opposition is about underlying tensions coming to the surface, as happened earlier in Thailand and Greece. So the riots weren’t just about Christopher Coke – he was, in many respects, a mere catalyst and to understand the riots you’d have to look at the stresses and fracture lines in Jamaican society.
Nonetheless the riots are widely linked with Christopher Coke, or at least with the attempts to extradite him, and it’s therefore worth looking at his horoscope.
He is a Pisces, born on March 12 1969. His legitimate businesses have done extremely well, and his political connections are excellent. This is not surprising for a Piscean. The sign Pisces can do extremely well in business. It has a natural understanding of what people want, and it knows what steps are required to win people’s support.
Yet one shouldn’t forget that in astrology Pisces is a double sign, along with Gemini and Sagittarius. Double signs can have two, contradictory natures. Christopher Coke might be a philanthropic businessman, but there could be another side to his activities, which to some extent he’s able to keep hidden.
Looking deeper at Christopher Coke’s horoscope, he has an opposition aspect between on one hand his Sun in Pisces, on the other hand Pluto in Virgo. This is someone who has a lot power at his disposal, who also has a pretty intense side to his personality. I doubt he is afraid of death, and because he has a close Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, he regards his freedom as being something that can’t be compromised.
However Christopher Coke has the Moon in Capricorn, and this makes him a pragmatist, with a keen survival instinct. So right now, as he tried to avoid arrest and extradition, he’ll be carefully going through his options, and using his resources in the most effective ways possible.
As to what happens next, it’s difficult to say, because I don’t have his time of birth. However this week’s Full Moon falls exactly on his Mars in Sagittarius, and whatever he does, he must avoid violence and aggression.
