The ruler of the Ascendant is Saturn in the 12th house. A segment of the population is not very optimistic—as with everything Saturnian, they
demand accountability.
But the Lord of the Year is the Sun, in the house of its joy, but is in a weakened state. The 9th house is the area of the chart that deals with religion and the rule of law. This is the most important issue that people want to be addressed now. With Mercury and Venus there, they demand clarity and will be very vocal about it.
Writers or journalists, as represented by Mercury, will find supporters from other nations. Local issues will also gain international attention as more artists (especially women) will be given recognition abroad.
What can be beyond one’s expectations now but one matter that needs attention is the issue of food. With Saturn and one of the nodes in the 12th
house, this can indicate scarcity of food. This could be in the Southern part of the Philippines.
It is worth noting that the Moon is also in a destructive relationship with Saturn, indicating a devastating calamity that could be man-made as well as the result of upheavals from mother nature, like a strong typhoon or earthquake.
What is very interesting is when we look at the significators of the king: the candidates are Jupiter and Sun. Whichever one looks at, we see the malefics.
Jupiter is in the Midheaven, indicating the support of magnates and rich people towards the king. With Fortune also on the MC, there might be reasons for them to do so. But Mars, as a source of disruption, is configured in a square aspect with Jupiter. Mars happens to be in the 8th house.
As the natural significator of rulers, we also look at the Sun. Aside from being weak in Libra, the Sun is also moving towards a square with Saturn.
According to medieval astrologers, the square indicates enmity from those one thought to be friends.
