Brexit – dithering into an uncertain future

    

 

Like flies stuck in what Matthew Parris memorably described as a tar pit, UK politicians are making a total horlicks of the Brexit negotiations. Paralysed by an inability to agree amongst themselves, they and the whole farrago are arousing amused contempt in Brussels, where the overlords just sit back and say NON every so often. Businesses are already baling out in all directions to Ireland, the Netherlands, Eastern Europe.  Guy Verhofstadt, the European Parliament chief negotiator said there would have to be a definitive plan by this October, to be ratified by the leaving date of March 2019; and it would take the full two year transition period thereafter to work out trading details which could well drag on for decades.

The dates fit a scenario on the UK chart with a major financial shock, high anxiety provoking hasty misplaced decisions in 2021 with tr Uranus conjunct the 8th house Mars; followed by several very rough years culminating in panics, confusion and more financial shocks in 2023/2024 with Solar Arc Sun square the 2nd house Neptune, Solar Arc MC square Neptune and Solar Arc Uranus conjunct Mars.

The 29 March 2019 leaving date occurs on the bleak Saturn Pluto conjunction in last decan Capricorn; with an aggravated Pluto trine Mars; and a head-in-the-clouds, over-hopeful Jupiter square Neptune. The end of the transition, presumably late March 2021, has tr Saturn in Aquarius square the UK 8th house (business finances) Mars; in a teeth-gritted trine to Mars and a jolting square to Uranus, so again not wealth-generating influences.

The UK joining the EEC chart, 1 January 1973 12 am, is muddled and panicky in 2018/2019 with a considerable upheaval from February 2019 till late 2020 with tr Pluto square the Uranus.

The UK/EU relationship chart reflects much the same muddle, disappointment and trudge through thick mud till late 2019.

The problem from an astrological point of view is that it isn’t a total divorce, more a rearrangement of agreements (if they ever happen).  The relationship chart is a fairly controlling one so stepping back to renegotiate was never going to be easy with Pluto in the 8th square a 12th Uranus and a 4th house Sun.

The Theresa May government chart, 9 June 2017 12.35pm London is sagging (further?) in the early months of 2019 pre-the cut off date with tr Saturn square Jupiter and conjunct Pluto; and hitting the skids from May 2019 onwards as tr Neptune squares the Sun and Moon. It may not mean finito but it’s certainly not an uproarious success. At that point the Solar Arc Moon is opposing the UK 11th house Saturn  so the populace are going to be mightily out of sorts with politicians and the legislature.

One thought on “Brexit – dithering into an uncertain future

  1. Any thoughts on the White Paper and if it might be successful? I fear we are heading for a UK national crisis. I also worry about the SNP pushing for a second referendum
