We’re now in the final lunar cycle before the polls open on Thursday. The Moon entered Aquarius just before 10pm BST on 4th May and will be at 16 Aquarius at 7 am on 6th May 2010 and will stay in Aquarius until 9.30 on Friday morning when we shall almost certainly know the result. This is the home stretch and the extremely tense aspects which the Moon will make between now and then will certainly give us a turbulent last day of campaigning. I’ve already written a fuller breakdown on the astrology of election day.
So, having seen the campaign and watched the players perform, am I going to change my mind? I don’t think so. I’ll stick with my initial assessment: hung parliament with Brown staying as PM. 16 Aquarius is Gordon’s Mercury. Much has been made of the radical nature of Aquarius and the people’s desire for change but that Moon, and the Sun and Mars, pick up Brown’s chart most strongly. Cameron and Clegg – because they are of similar ages – have their nodal axis triggered by that Tsquare on the opening of the polls. The nodal axis is associated with fame and notoriety and there’s little to choose astrologically between Cameron and Clegg, although the Moon is now picking up that lovely Moon Venus opposition of Clegg’s. Will Cameron be known as the one who lost the election?
Interestingly, both Brown and Cameron change fidaria – a planetary period – in the autumn, a strong indication that they will be gone from the political scene by then. Clegg, however, changed fidaria (assuming a night birth) on 20th April 2010 which was just as the Lib Dem poll rating began to rise after the first leadership debate.
I misjudged the leadership debate slightly. I said that what ever happened in the first wouldn’t matter to the second and third. It should have been what happened in the first would make no difference to the second and third debates.
A final point on Gordon Brown. Mars will regain the position at which it turned retrograde on 16th May. Two days before that it will catch up with Gordon’s Pluto on the day of a New Moon. It’s very possible that there may be a sudden change in Brown’s circumstances at this point. Certainly a day to watch.
Don’t forget to vote.
