China's Weaponization of Fusarium Head Blight

Fusarium Wheat Blight

It made the news back in February when China “fire-saled” 600,000 tons of wheat, foisting it off on the SE Asia market: China Unloads Spoiled Grain

Then today we have this: AP News: China Smuggles Wheat Fungus Blight?

Opium Wars

China’s chart expresses the deep cultural wound her people carry from the Opium Wars. To start, let’s see what light the Minor Planets can shed upon our understanding of that theme as evident in her poisoned, and poisonous, 8th house:

China (blue) and AP Story (red)

See MP “Lizhensheng”, named after Li Zhensheng, China’s top wheat bioengineer. Look at its precise, thematically meaningful placement with known bad actor MP Beksha and Neptune on Algorab, all within 30’ of arc:

• China Neptune is conjunct Mercury with Algorab in the 8th house: Algorab is a nasty star, repulsive, fiendish and deceitful. Mercury is the 8th lord with Neptune (aka Poseidon, which is a perfect anagram for poisoned, btw).

• MP “Lizhensheng” brings theme of bioengineered wheat to this weaponized 8th house situation, highlighted by the transiting Moon.

Medusa Weighs In

Here is the synastry between China’s natal chart (blue) and AP Story (red):

• Exact alignment of MC/IC angles from both charts to the Medusa Stellium at 26° Taurus, a sensitive degree established at Butler.

• AP Story MP “Lizhensheng” is transiting precisely on China MC: I wonder how Dr. Li feels about his namesake’s behavior?

• China MP “Nanking” opposite AP Story MP “London” on AP Story MC/IC reminds us that the Opium Wars have not been forgotten: This angle is valid as we have precise AP Story date stamp.

• AP Story MP “Morpheus” on China “Morpheus”, the God long associated with the opium poppy, is perfectly conjunct China Jupiter in the 12th house, within 17’ of arc: this conveys an image of China’s hopes (Jup) and dreams lost (12) due to drugging (Morph) by foreigners (12).

  

What’s Next?

• Transiting Pluto on China 12 house Moon, ruler of her 6th house: deep transformation of China and her relationship with her enemies, both traditional and current.

• AP Story MPs “China” and “Beksha” on China 6th cusp squaring China 7th lord Sun in the 8th: her enemies will sting her, and she will retaliate.

• Exposure of her secrets as transiting Moon sweeps through China 8th house.

• Watch for an event when Mars triggers the Medusa Stellium at 26° Taurus on June 11, 2025, just in time for the Birthday Parade.
