I’ve learnt two important things from this election. The first is that you should always have an understanding of the constraints and processes involved in the thing you’re considering and you need to fit the astrology around them. My forecasts for a hung parliament with Brown remaining PM – which I’ll take as a successful [...]
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. [...]
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% [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
