As per last weeks note, the new pope assumes his papacy during the inaugural mass, which was held yesterday in Rome, at 10 AM, Rome time. Here is a chart for the event and an attempt to sus a few things. A very minor attempt. Haven't practiced political astrology at all besides reading JMGs posts!

What I note is there are no placements between the 2nd house and 6th house. Everything is clustered between the 7th house through the 1st house.
If the pope can be considered as the Sun as ruler of the Catholic Church, then he is Sun in Taurus in the 11th house. The sun is conjunct Uranus, though Uranus is in the 10th house. I'm not sure if the Sun is dignified or not here, based on the aspects. But I would say with the Pope will have power to bring through reforms, especially with regard to Uranus being conjunct.
Meanwhile the Moon, representing the laity, are in the sign of Aquarius, in the seventh house, conjunct Pluto, during the years of his waning influence. Moon in the 10th house may suggest a favorable time between the average catholic and the institution. With Pluto in the seventh house, this may mean that over the next ten years, as the influence of Pluto fades, the radical policies that some parts of the church were caught up in will wane influence. I'm just spitballing there... but
Saturn is in the 9th house, which, if dignified according to JMG: "It also brings success to conservative religious movements." So some of the excesses of liberation theology may wane, while tradtional catholicism may wax.
Again, just bull shaling at a glance. I need a lot more practice.
