The next outstanding global leader we will look at is Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, the Prime Minister of Malaysia from the year 1981-2003. A brilliant economic strategist, gutsy leader and visionary thinker, Dr. M is celebrated for transforming Malaysia into a booming economy in the 90's, modernizing the nation and making daring reforms which put Malaysia on the world map. We shall now attempt to analyze his natal chart. Although no official birth time is found. the interplay of planets, aspects and signs is more than enough to construct a picture of the longest-reigning Malaysian premier.
First off, he has a "bucket"-shaped chart. The cluster of planets at the bottom half are held by the "bucket handle", Jupiter. As the most dominant planet in the chart, Jupiter has the power to siphon and direct the energy of the other planets in the life of Dr. M. It controls the major events in his life. Jupiter is the luckiest planet in the cosmos, blessing its natives with great optimism, success and wealth. Jupiter is the cosmic Santa Claus, it expands whatever it touches beyond its limits. The keywords for Jupiter are "big" and "lucky." Everything needs to be done in a big way, growing in size, breaking its limits, going further and further, and becoming successful beyond your wildest dreams. It is by nature, a very generous and protective planet.
We can immediately see how Jupiter has impacted the life of Dr. M, blessing him with the ability to excel in his chosen field, conferring him a good education and upbringing (Jupiter is the patron of education), and giving him a "lucky break" into politics, protecting him in times of political crisis and expanding his career in politics beyond imaginable limits. Furthermore, we see that Jupiter is the only planet in an earth sign, Capricorn. Earth is the element of organization and business. This earthy sign endows Dr. M with good management skills and business acumen. It allows him to manage the economy of Malaysia systematically and efficiently, like a Capricorn CEO. He bolstered national income and expanded the heavy industries (automobile, petrol and gas, etc). During the 1998 Asian financial crisis, he pulled the country out of recession much quicker than other neighbouring ASEAN countries. He is a genius in terms of finances and material assets. He delivers a Midas touch to anything that has material form and structure. He set up to construct world-class infrastructures, buildings and architectural wonders (Petronas Twin Towers, Sepang F1 Circuit, KLIA, etc).
Next, we see the Sun conjuncts Pluto, and making a sharp opposition to Jupiter. Now, we know that Pluto is the planet of extremes - all or nothing at all. It causes the individual to do everything in a very forceful, intense manner. Dr. M is a natural daredevil, a trailblazer, a leader who steamrolls everything in his path, bulldozing and crushing all obstacles in the way. Grass does not grow under his feet! Pluto also gives the "firepower" to mow down opponents and enemies, being the most fearsome planet in the cosmos. There is also a very strong charisma in a Plutonian person, pulling and sucking others in like a vortex. They make very charismatic leaders, building a cult-like persona and larger-than-life icon.
One very striking feature of the chart is how 4 planets (Mars, Venus, Mercury & Neptune) are clustered in Leo, a fire sign. Leo the lion is perhaps the most dramatic sign of all. Like a King, he enjoys doing everything in a "grand" and "flashy" way, and receiving public acknowledgement. Leo prefers to be in the spotlight in whatever he says or does. Similarly, Dr. M has never failed to create headlines in the media for saying things. He has a very flamboyant personality which generates a lot of hype and attention from the public. He is a rock star.
Lastly, we see a grand water trine, a blue triangle formed by joining the signs of Pisces, Cancer & Scorpio. Like Lee Kuan Yew, his Singaporean counterpart, you will notice the grand trine popping up again and again in the charts of famous world leaders throughout history. A grand trine is considered the luckiest aspect in astrology, and it bestows gifts of rare instincts, vision and insight into the charts of prominent statesmen. It is written in the stars that Dr M is destined to be a leader of a nation.
