We recently discussed the seemingly lack of coups due to Uranus being stuck in Taurus. And there was then a recent coup in Niger whose success is not yet settled. Interestingly this occurred once conditions ripened astrologically and they look pretty explosive.
Word has it that the coup went down on the morning of the 26th of July. A chart for Niamey at 9 am on that day has a T-square for Jupiter in Taurus, the Moon opposition to it in Scorpio, and the Sun square to both in Leo. (astrologically literate coupers?)
That is not great for the people (Moon) but is somewhat rescued by Trines with Mars (Virgo) and Saturn (Pisces). The sun is in its rulership but the T-square is a worry, especially since Jupiter is conjunct Uranus which is Trined Neptune, but square both Venus and Mercury (both in Leo with Virgo the ascendant).
The coup itself may be betrayed by seemingly friendly (square Venus) foreign countries (Uranus in the 9th). Jupiter also in the ninth may also mean this thing could spiral out of control with lots of foreign influence.
