There are two possible charts for Syria according to Campion's book on World Horoscopes. One for when they were given independence by France in September 1941 with the French-Syrian Treaty. However, a second chart, which works better is for Jan 1, 1944 when the French transferred all mandate powers to the Syrian Government.
Since March 2011, Syria has been embroiled in civil war in the wake of uprisings (considered an extension of the Arab Spring, the mass movement of revolutions and protests in the Arab world) against Assad and the neo-Ba'athist government. An alternative government was formed by the opposition umbrella group, the Syrian National Coalition, in March 2012. Representatives of this government were subsequently invited to take up Syria's seat at the Arab League. The opposition coalition has been recognised as the "sole representative of the Syrian people" by several nations including the United States, United Kingdom and France. ~wikipedia
In the months leading up to the first Uranus Pluto square on June 24, 2012 at 8 deg Aries/Capricorn which fell on the Sun or leadership of the Syrian chart, rebellion against the current government lead by President Assad began. The young people, Uranus in Aries want change while Assad with Pluto on the Sun is poised for either complete transformation or destruction.
Sun in Capricorn indicates a leadership that favors tradition, control and order while Uranus in Aries squaring the Sun are the people who want change, technology and more freedom. This revolution will continue through the last Uranus-Pluto square in 2015 and well beyond most likely.
Syria has recently been suspected of using chemical weapons against its people. This is confirmed by T-Neptune squaring Mars - chemical weapons. The people are being attacked while trying to change things in their country.
The Ascendant and Moon rule over the common people of Syria. Libra rising, ruled by Venus Fallen in Scorpio and in a Morning Star position describes and intense warriors, and loyal group of people. However, they are not doing as well as would be hoped for, they struggle in existence. If these people want change, they are going to suffer to get it.

Uranus entering the 7th house of the country may indicate the rebellions as well as the unusual ways that Syria chooses to engage open enemies. In the news, President Assad's son allegedly wrote a message on his Facebook page expressing his hopes that they get bombed by the U.S. The Syrian government is instigating a war with the West, daring the U.S. and others to attack them for their human rights abuses.
This over-confidence of the leaders is shown by transiting Jupiter exalted in Cancer and prominently placed on the MC. Jupiter is gong to travel through Syria's 10th house for the next year or so. This gives the government luck and the ability to triumph in warfare. Israel also has Cancer on the MC with Jupiter in their 10th house as well. Depending on which chart you use of the U.S. (I use Gar Osten's with Gemini rising) which places Cancer on the 2nd. This could indicate a temporary improvement in the economy.
While Jupiter is well-placed in Cancer, it is in exaltation which is traditionally not as powerful as when placed in dignity. Exaltation shows exaggeration and temporary benefits. It can cause people to think too much of themselves and be celebrated more highly than they deserve. Similar to some celebrities who have achieved nothing more in life than becoming famous for just being themselves. There is no substance there and their fame is usually short lived.
Syria is now getting a surge of this exaltation and the leaders probably feel like they can take on the world. The people may also feel this as the Moon which also signifies the common people is in Pisces ruled by Jupiter and receiving a trine from T-Jupiter.
The upcoming Uranus square Pluto falls exactly on Syria's Sun this November 2013 signifies big changes coming up for Syria and its president. As transiting Pluto moves over the IC and into the fourth house while squaring the Ascendant, Syria and its people are embarking on some extreme changes for the next couple of years. The 4th house signifies the opposition to the current government so we may see the opposition party gaining strength and power over the next few years.
There is an over-optimism within the country which will last until Jupiter leaves Cancer in June 2014. This helps to partly explain the bold statements of President Assad to attack. If Obama was set on doing something about the chemical weapons, I would advise him to wait until next summer at least when Syria will run out of luck. Something tells me that they are not ignorant of their astrology.
