Although differences in opinion have always been a facet of Hong Kong ’s society, most people would agree that the ferocity of the debates has been escalating. The use of increasingly confrontational means has also become more common.
This isn’t much of a surprise if we take a closer look at the transits that Hong Kong is undergoing. Transitting Pluto has been squaring Hong Kong ’s natal Mars since January 2010 and will not end until November this year. The most intense periods were/are: January-June 2010, November 2010-January 2011 and June-November 2011.
This reflects a highly tense situation. For those who follow Hong Kong ’s news closely, I’m sure they could easily recall what controversies were triggered off in the community at those times.
Pluto means “total transformation” and cutting out what no longer serves growth. It is a most relentless force and will stop at nothing. What needs to be changed, must be changed. If you refuse, it will only make the process more painful.
Meanwhile, Mars represents anger, fighting instincts and aggression. When that is touched off by a planet as uncompromising as Pluto, the situation could be pretty “explosive” indeed.
Whenever a transitting planet is influencing your natal planets, the best way to handle it is to learn the lesson that the transitting planet is “teaching”.

| Mars - Hong Kong's chart ruler |
As mentioned elsewhere in this blog, the fact that Mars is placed in the seventh house in Hong Kong ’s chart indicates that we often project our own competitive advantage to our rival cities. During Pluto’s transit to Hong Kong ’s natal Mars which also happens to be the city’s chart ruler, we are called on a collective level to transform our fighting instincts, reclaim our own power and competitiveness. If we can do it, we will be able to face the world more confidently and courageously.
The series of controversies that Hong Kong has been going through is not indicated by transitting Pluto only. It is also represented by transitting Uranus which urges for greater freedom and social progress. More about that later.
