The chart for Syria is set on Jan 1 1944, 12:00am in Damascus, 33N30/036E18 (The Book of World Horoscopes). The chart looks like this:
The start of the civil war is marked by a Saturn decent through the ASC on april 2011, start of the restructuring of the state. In addition the Sun is transitted by Pluto, the attack on the head of state.

The loss of control over the country which took off in spring 2013, is marked by a Chiron transit on the natal Moon. This transit will end in spring 2016, by that time the government may have lost control over the country completely, partly to insurgency and the Kurds, partly to foreign powers NATO and Russia.
Events of crisis and transformation, death and rebirth enter the country, events of destruction of properties on the land and the displacement of the population are marked by a Pluto 4th house ingress on april 2014. Pluto shifts focus from attacking the current head of state (Pluto conjunct Sun) towards transforming the interrior of the country (4th house ingress). This transit is related to the bottom-up approach by insurgency transforming village by village.
Parallel to this event an invasion of foreign powers is marked by an exact Uranus 7th house ingress on april 2014, clearly pointing at the current air campaign of the US and its European and ME partners. The famous square aspect between the two planets Uranus and Pluto is still active until 2016, feeding revolutions in the ME from 2011 on.
Both events (Pluto 4th ingress and Uranus 7th ingress) may point to a turning point in the war, this idea may be supported by a progressed Moon 1st house ingress on feb 2015 until spring 2017, it points to a change of Syria's identity, self image of the nation and the people as a whole, of its national legends.
This is the entry point for starting a new cycle of developments (progressed Moon 1st house ingress), a new Syrian identity is shaped as we speak. No matter who will come out as successor power of Syria, the foundation of its winning strategy is made now.
In case they (NATO and Russia) won't have a new identity concept for the future of Syria as an alternative to insurgency before spring 2017 they shouldn't even bother. In the present debate about Syria the idea of creating an identy for a future Syria is absent, this may be more urgent now than recapturing a few cities. Beginning 2017 when the progressed Moon enters the last degrees of the first house, it may become clear who is going to win the war in Syria, which idea for the future has established itself (that will be an interesting lead to follow). In spring 2017 the focus shifts from the 1st to the 2nd house, from creating to materialising a new Syrian identity.
Retrieving the treasure, the goal of the restructuring (of the civil war) is reached, this is marked by a Saturn transit on the IC or 4th house ingress on jan 2019. This could be the end of the war after going through a major ordeal, this point is called atonement. It could also mean the end of Syria as we know it and thus the complete termination of the current chart. Support for this theory must be found in other event charts which are related to this scenario.
The outcome of the transition which started in 2011 will become visible in 2027 (in case the chart survives 2019). This is 8 years after the end of the war in 2019. A new Syria acts independently in the outer world. This change is marked by a Saturn 7th house ingress in spring 2027. Perhaps Syria will be under a UN controlled interim government between 2019-2027 to guide the reconstruction and formation of a new political layer.
