South Africa’s Astrological Moodboard + D1 Chart Analysis
Apologies if there’s any typos… it’s currently 5 am as im typing this.
My home country, South Africa, as a whole has been through so much throughout history. This can be well indicated by the 10H Pisces Mars.
The 10H Pisces Mars is extremely influential in our history and culture. In South Africa we experienced ‘Apartheid,’ in English meaning “to be a part.” Apartheid was established by foreign White colonizers who came from the Netherlands, through the ocean (Pisces influence).
Those same people inflicted a lot of violence (mars) on Native South Africans. Apartheid was also a psychological attack, it was psychological and put an illusion effect on Black South Africans through abuse and torture. Black South Africans would have homes raided, they’d be killed, arrested and were constantly told that White is superior; which then led to their brainwashing and automatic submission towards White colleagues or people in general. We can see this affect on the older generation who were present during Apartheid.
Coincidentally, this 10H Mars is Square its own ruler (Pisces), which is found in the 7H of Sagittarius. This aspect emphasizes the presence of racism in South Africa. Surprisingly enough… there is still racism in our country and inequality.
Many Black South Africans still choose to not notice this (Pisces influence) and would rather believe that they are one with White South Africans. Another thing I have to mention, is that Apartheid didn’t end because White people had a change of character.
No, the affect of Apartheid was seen worldwide (10H) and many foreign countries wanted to sanction South Africa, and this was going to affect the income and connections (7H) the Apartheid government had, so they had no choice but to end off Apartheid.
Our land is also still stolen and exploited. All because of minerals found underground. South Africa has A LOT of gold and diamonds. Thus leading to White colonialism to increase in its numbers. There is also an amusement park that is inspired by the Gold Rush in South Africa, it’s called Gold Reef City.
+ our government is corrupt asf too!
Oh yes, the above paragraph about land excavation and government come from the influence of 8H Capricorn Uranus, PoF and Vertex.
Apart from the dark part we had. The ruler of Mars (Aries) is found in the 11H, with the Sun, Lilith and Mercury. These placements make so much sense because despite our history, many South Africans are proud of their cultures and achievements.
We still practice our traditions, speak our native languages and just our country in general!!
6H of routines and sports (I think… I forgot. It’s currently 5 am, forgive me!) is in Scorpio. As South Africans we take pride in our national sport teams. Despite the current divisions of race, we all come together as one to support our nation.
We have excellent national sport teams/athletes. Springbok Rugby team, Orlando Pirates F.C, Bafana Bafana F.C, Penny Heyens (Olympic Swimmer), Caster Semenya (Olympic Runner) and Akani Simbine (Olympic Runner). All of those mentioned, and so many more make South Africa proud!!
Every country has its cons. Well for us, it’s Gender Based Violence. We have an increase of violence towards women every hour. Due to 12H Venus/Ketu Square 6H Scorpio Pluto, Moon and Rahu.
Everyone local and worldwide are aware of this issue but no matter how many times we protest or avoid men, women are still in major danger. It is really not safe, we always have to watch our backs.
Lastly 11H, 5H and 9H having negative aspects. South Africa had thee most talented celebrities and actresses. There are major blockages when it comes to being treated positively in our music industries. There always has to be a give and take approach, mainly in sexual advances. This then leads to issues with upcoming artists or celebrities.
Luckily our 5H Libra Jupiter is Trine, 9H Aquarius Saturn. This indicates that whichever South African artistry reaches overseas will never be forgotten, it will go down in history. Like look at Lion King for example?? It was produced by South Africans, and the sound tracks are in isiZulu, a South African language. We have Tyla, blowing up worldwide. We have amapiano trending worldwide, South African womens beauty is being noticed.
Oh! Ugh. And our landscapes too! Beautiful and angelic landscapes and views! Our mountains are top tier as well as our tourist attractions, and this is an influence of Saturn trine Jupiter for South Africa’s chart. Tourist always come for holidays or they end up permanently residing in South Africa for the rest of their lives.

Repost from @africanstylediary
•
Her voice is so dreamy but you see that click sound—it is mind-blowing! 🤯
The legendary South African singer Miriam Makeba performs her interpretation of Qongqothwane, also known as ‘The Click Song’It’s a traditional wedding song of the Xhosa people of South Africa.
Xhosa is a tonal language best known for its click consonants. At the beginning of many performances, Makeba gave an intro in which she gave a little background on her native language and the song she was performing. Introducing her heritage to the rest of the world with every performance

Esprit de Corps - When [Kim's] finished with the front page, he scans the local box scores. The Stormers lost again, 17-32. He shakes his head and checks his watch. It's time to get back to it...
Kim Kitsuragi - "*You* could reach the Coalition and have your talk about *la responsabilité*... *I* could grow 10 centimetres and become a flanker for the Stormers."
Titus Hardie - "The Stormers can't play for shit."
so kim is canonically a fan of a team called the "stormers"? guessing rugby based on "flanker".
mileage may vary on "fan". based on titus' line too, i am envisioning them as revachol's absolutely dogshit home team that every vacholiere has a long-suffering fondness for...
#de tag#there is also a real life south african rugby team called the stormers and im like#squints at DE and all its odd cultural references. is this coincidence or intentional.......#disco elysium

Whenever Brits are like "tea is our national drink, our culture, our personality, our mental health" I think of our hill country blanketed in a patchwork quilt of human suffering and ongoing violent colonialism and want to smash all their tea cups. Your genocidal leaf juice is nothing to be proud of. The present day tea pluckers are the descendants of the Indians you enslaved and they still live in unthinkable poverty in the line houses you built to house them like cattle. The families whose farmlands you robbed have been starving for generations. Every sip of your leaf juice is soaked in blood and you drink it like vampires.
Tea will never belong to you. It's our legacy of grief, and your shame.
Drink your tea and shut the fuck up.
#sri lanka#'but my parents were immigrants!' 'and you're living in a genocidal country that's still sucking the marrow from the global south. so.'#'but my parents were indians!' 'ok? drink your chai and think about the stateless south indian tea pluckers? what is your point?'#if you live in britain you enjoy the fruits of its empire even if you're at the bottom of the food chain#that's why middle class Asians and Africans migrate to europe even if it means they have to earn a living on minimum wage#you can't share a race and country with sue braverman and tell me that your origins can make you any less complicit#british culture#tea#british empire#colonialism#british colonialism#colonization#extractive colonialism#tourism#capitalism#indigenous rights#indian ocean slavery#slavery#white supremacy#knee of huss#food culture#cash crops#monoagriculture#ecocide

Black culture is a movement. It’s the sway in the hips of a dancer, the bass in the beat that makes the world stop. It’s the power in a raised fist and the style that can’t be duplicated. It’s the sound of jazz, gospel, hip-hop, and afrobeats blending into one voice that echoes strength. From the art on the walls to the hair that defies gravity, Black culture is unapologetic, bold, and deeply rooted. It’s the joy, the pain, the laughter, and the hustle. It’s history remixed with the future, always rising, always shining.

Forgotten Tribal Culture by Adam Koziol 🤎
Adam Koziol is a photographer based in Poznan, Poland. In 2013, during a trip to Borneo, while talking with one of the representatives of the Iban people (the People of the Dayak group in East Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei), he realized that 3000 years of culture and traditions are doomed to disappear in the coming years. So he decides to start a documentary project to tell about these forgotten and doomed tribal cultures.
