Today brings the New Moon in Aries. New Moons mark the beginning of a cycle and this is emphasised by being in Aries, the first sign of the zodiac. Aries pioneering energy makes today a great time for putting daring and challenging plans together. If you want to make significant changes in your life then [...]
Given the current state of party politics in the UK, I thought it would be interesting to look at what’s happening to the individual parties astrologically. We have similar problems here as when we look at national charts: not everything has a nice discrete start moment. Let’s start with the incumbents. The Labour Party The [...]
The UK electoral system is biased to the two main parties. In practical terms it’s not possible for a party other than Labour or Conservative to win a majority of seats and so form a government. However other parties do stand candidates and the third party – the Liberal Democrats – usually takes around 20% [...]
David Cameron Chart, Solar Return for Brown and Cameron, Transits and progressions for David Cameron Live already looked at the conditions in the run up to the election, at Gordon Brown and now it’s time to look at the leader of the opposition, David Cameron. The major transits Cameron is experiencing are the Saturn conjunct [...]
Having put together an overview of the conditions leading up to the UK general election I thought it was about time I had a look at the candidates and how they shape up on the day. This article looks at Gordon Brown. Cameron, Clegg et al will follow. It’s difficult to know what charts to [...]
The situation in Greece is a great illustration of how a Jupiter transit isn’t necessarily a good thing. Jupiter is at 17 degrees of Pisces in the 1974 Greece chart and in the sky at 19 degrees: the Greeks are on a Jupiter return as Jupiter in the sky returns to its place in their [...]
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 [...]
Started on 10th March, published 15th March. It struck me this morning, as Mars stationed direct, that we are now a maximum of 13 weeks from a general elelection. The next one must take place by June 3rd but most people expect it to take its traditional spot of the first Thursday in May as [...]
Monday brings the new Moon in Pisces and this month Mercury and Uranus also join the party. This adds an electric spark to an already mystical time. Pisces is the most ephemeral of signs. This is not a straightforward logical energy. Pisces signifies the elusive, creative part of us which takes us beyond the everyday, measurable [...]
Today Mars goes direct. Things which seem to be more inclined to stay still, or that seem to be stuck in reverse, finally have a chance to move forward. When a planet slows to a halt before moving forward again it’s like a spring holding potential energy before it’s released. I read a great description [...]
