A big thank you to Gordon Brown for letting us enjoy our Easter weekend in peace before announcing the date of the election. As expected, it’s the 6th May and, as I expected, it’s announced as Mercury enters its shadow period.
I’ve talked a lot recently about shadow periods – when a planet reaches the point at which it will go forward after its retrograde period – and the conditions in the run up to the election and the most significant point here is that retrogrades are assoicated with returning. They are periods when the existing situation is reviewed and reworked. They are not known for drastic change.
Mercury retrograde has a terrible reputation for communication mishaps. Mercury is in earth, the most practical and pragmatic element, and confusion is likely to centre around what is possible and practical. I suspect finance – always a Taurus favourite – will be high on the agenda. A major theme will be getting the books to balance.
Talking about balance, and therefore Libra, Saturn dips back into Virgo from Libra on 8th April. Once more over the small print I think. The inspector wants to look over the books one last time before he moves on.
It may seem that I’m not saying anything particularly startling but I’m sticking with my earlier thoughts of a narrow win for Labour with a hung parliament and a drastic change of events come June.
My article looking at the individual charts of Brown, Cameron et al should be up soon.
