Wars, scandals and major economic crises – what do the stars foretell? Once again, as in previous years, the celebrated Lebanese astrologer and journalist Maguy Farah gives her forecasts in a much awaited book with as always many novelties and surprises. Some are favorable but some, alas! less so.

General forecasts

As during the two past years, the coming year augurs new revolutions and new wars. According to Maguy Farah, the conflict which began in 2012 between the four important planets Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter and Uranus makes one foresee great danger for the world. However this will be attenuated during the year as Saturn moves out of this conjunction of conflict.

2013 is also the Year of the Serpent in the Chinese calendar, which means major events likely to mark the world in the long term, events like the attack on the World Trade Center in New York on 11th September, 2001, the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on 2nd August, 1990, or the Israeli invasion of the Litani in South Lebanon on 15th March, 1978.

According to Maguy Farah, the conflict positions of Pluto, Jupiter and Uranus during this year of 2013 are much like the astrological conditions dominating the years 1978, 1990 and 2001.

There are also major natural catastrophes foreseeable, like the earthquake which devastated the Iranian city of Tabas on 16th September, 1978, and which caused 15,000 deaths.

Just as during the two past years, great scandals and legal trials may shock public opinion, like that of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, former head of the International Monetary Fund, accused of sexual aggressions in May 2011 in New York or the trial of former Egyptian President Hosni Moubarak. “Nobody expected such happenings and this is exactly what is going to take place this year,” predicts Maguy.

On a more positive note, during 2013 medicine will make major advances comparable to the concept of the artificial heart, for example. “We shall see great progress in this domain which will lead to the discovery of new forms of treatment,” the Lebanese astrologer assures us. “This began last year with the implantation in Great Britain of the first bionic eye.”

But summer will be more difficult than the rest of the year, warns Maguy Farah. “The situation will begin to worsen in July, but it is the month of August that will be the most tense. October and November should also be fairly critical.”

New protest movements of a political character in 2013 are also foreseeable. “There will be worldwide awakening to the prevailing situation. People will rise up to say that they have had more than enough and to demand change,” notes Maguy Farah.

“Stifling” economic crises will also set their mark on the year 2013. “These crises will be extraordinary and unprecedented,” the astrologer affirms.

Concerning the Middle East, Maguy Farah stresses that it is almost impossible to make any specific forecasts for any one country. At the some time she has fears for Syria and Lebanon, two “Scorpion” countries. “Given that Saturn is entering Scorpion, I have fears of a new war in the region.” she says. “This has already begun in Syria.” Maguy adds that she also has fears for the minorities in the region and evokes the risk of forced displacements.

“One can never say precisely what is going to happen,” Maguy underlines, “and those who pretend the contrary are charlatans. But the fears exist, because there are astrological indications that a crisis is on the horizon.”

The new book of Maguy Farah, which was due to come out at the beginning of the festive season, has some new features, such as a plain-speaking section on traits of character, luck and preferences for each horoscope, and a section on the relationships between the signs.
