Cyril Pamaphosa - Will he stay or will he go now...

Watch how the architecture of his departure is being built brick by brick, astrologically and politically, in plain sight. The cards and the planets are not predicting a coup. They are describing an inevitability that even Ramaphosa himself can probably feel.

The Sun year is NOT a comfort card for someone in power with secrets. The Sun drags everything into pitiless, unfiltered light. For a Hermit - a man whose entire political survival has depended on working in controlled darkness, on being the patient negotiator behind closed doors - The Sun is the most destabilising card possible. It removes his primary weapon. He cannot hermit his way through a public impeachment committee. Every evasion, every foggy 7 of Cups answer about buffaloes and sofas, gets scorched in The Sun's glare.

The Wheel of Fortune (his year's underlying card) is the real alarm. The Wheel removes agency entirely. Top ANC figures held urgent weekend meetings to brainstorm how to manage a crisis that could result in Ramaphosa's premature exit from office, or even in the collapse of the GNU - that is pure Wheel of Fortune energy. The ANC itself is panicking, meaning even his own machine is slipping out of his hands. The DA's new parliamentary leader said the party was not prepared to betray its principles just to keep an individual in office, and that there was no guaranteed support.

His Judgement year runs November 2026 to November 2027. The local government elections are scheduled for November 2026 - right at the hinge point between his Sun year and his Judgement year. The ANC goes into those elections carrying the full weight of the impeachment committee hearings, and whatever emerges from them lands directly into Judgement energy. The hearings are likely to unfold alongside local government election campaigning, meaning Phala Phala could become an election-season headache the ANC thought it had locked away years ago.

Pluto in Aquarius is squaring his natal Sun. This is the defining transit of his presidency's final chapter. Pluto square Sun is the ultimate power-or-destruction transit - it strips away everything inauthentic, demands total transformation, and does not allow half-measures. You either emerge reborn or you are composted. It is a multi-year grind, not a single dramatic event.

Saturn in Pisces has been moving through a trine to his natal Sun - which is actually a stabilising, structural influence. Saturn trine Sun gives endurance, institutional support, the ability to survive through sheer solidity. This is the transit that says the parliamentary arithmetic holds. Saturn does not let things fall apart easily when it trines your Sun. This is the "he survives the impeachment committee" transit.

Neptune in Aries is now moving toward a square to his natal Sun - and this is the fog machine. Neptune square Sun dissolves clarity, identity, reputation. The man who once had a crystal clear anti-corruption brand is now swimming in murk. This is the 7 of Cups made planetary - and it deepens through 2026 and 2027.

He is not dramatically ousted. He is slowly composted by Pluto, dissolved by Neptune, and then the Jupiter opposition at election time becomes the moment the ANC's internal Judgement card falls. He likely exits between November 2026 and mid-2027 - which lands him squarely in his own Judgement year card.The stars and the tarot are telling exactly the same story. The ousting is not a thunderbolt. It is a slow tide that eventually covers the beach entirely.
