Running around like headless chickens, their wits fraying, the British political panjandrums across the spectrum are an embarrassment. Brexit alliances, such as they are, have fractured the left/right norms – with none of them having a coherent plan of how to resolve the most significant decision in decades.
The populace are bored, confused and just want it done and dusted. No one relishes a second referendum which would drag the agony out further and might well end up with the same result, the EU top brass having not exactly covered themselves in glory with their performance. If no deal was always an option then civil service preparations should have been made from square one. Shades of Tony Blair not letting the military prepare before Iraq in case it gave the game away and then left them at risk because they weren’t up to speed on armoury.
What strikes me about the UK chart, apart from all the before mentioned in earlier posts, is the 3rd house Mercury and Solar Arc Mars, both of which are catching the tr Neptune square from February 2019 onwards – the all pervading fog and muddle, misspeaks and evasions will continue on till early 2020; with major aggravation and arguments and perhaps transport problems with the Solar Arc Mars conjunct the UK Mercury, exact in late 2020.
The Conservative Party 10 May 1912 chart, which is the one which works best, has a deeply-frustrated tr Pluto opposition Mars till the middle of this week; then tr Pluto opposes the Mars/Neptune midpoint – panic, paralysed activity, lack of will – until mid January; after that tr Pluto square the Neptune till mid February (repeating later in the year) – for devastation and more chaos. From mid February there’s a grim slog tr Pluto trine the Saturn in Taurus which runs on and off till late 2020. With a few emotional shocks and upheavals from May 2019 onwards into early 2020. So they’re not dragging themselves out of the mire.
Neither of the Labour Party charts looks any better. The 27 February 1900 has a panicky-failure Solar Arc Mars conjunct the Neptune now and tr Neptune is in a disempowering square to Pluto in January 2019. The late December 2019 Solar Eclipse crashes into the Saturn in Capricorn in this chart for a sharp reality check.
The 12 February 1906 LP chart looks highly-strung, maybe irrational, from now till mid February; and fairly logjammed until 2022. Which is not too surprising with an executive whose sentiments have always been anti-EU and their voters who are largely pro.
For all that the old Brit blitz spirit will manage a few blips of cheer in 2019 as they wish their politicians to perdition.
The UK/EU relationship chart will sag and struggle onwards with less and less enthusiasm through 2019 with tr Neptune square the composite Moon and opposition Jupiter; and tr Pluto square the composite Saturn.
I may be entirely wrong but I kind of stick to my earlier assessment of a crash-out in 2020.
While nobody relishes a second referendum, at least if the result was leave again, no one could say it was uninformed. It may not heal divisions, but there’s nothing to lose there, the country is divided anyway.
Marjorie, I agree about that tr Neptune squaring the UK Mercury jumping out. Tr Mercury also goes over that point twice, stationing at 29 Pisces (incidentally as Uranus goes back into Taurus), before returning to station on Neptune on Brexit day itself, the 29th March. So between TM’s natal and progressed Mars. Very odd. I wonder what do you make of it?
May has morphed into Frank Spencer….Marjorie any further clues in her Term chart? That T square to Neptune must be rattling by now?
Nope, next spring, if we survive that long.
there wont be ANY European “court of justice” because(the obvious answer)……………………..
I think the alternative to May in Corbyn would be far worse (shudder).Labour have seen a dramatic loss of core votes through thier deafness to thier voters as most labour wards voted out.The European Court of Justice has ruled the UK can cancel Brexit without the permission of the other 27 EU members?Obviously we will cost the EU a fortune! This is going to make for interesting reading.They have given the pro -remain a lifeboat.But if people voted out -how will May deliver?.I still think if it went to another vote it would be higher next time.The London based media who seems pro remain has its political agenda.
Hmm not really. The Telegraph is trenchantly for Brexit as was the DMail under Dacre tho’ it has softened its line with the new editor. Indie is pro-Remain. Guardian kind of wobbles on a middle line. Times is pro-taking May’s deal. Most of them put up a range of views – which gets confusing as you try to sort out how two opposing and utterly definite views about what’s what.
Plus the biggest seller of them all – The Sun – is ardently pro-Brexit.
The Guardian is mostly concerned in discovering illecit financing and data collection breaches committed by The Brexit campaign and the cover up by British Government. These are demostrable facts by now, there have been numerous Brexit Campaign insider whistleblowers with receipts, British authorities are seemingly all right with an electoral fraud committed and most of the media labels journalist bringing this information forth “crazy”.
And yes, Murdoch owned media in particular has been selling this “big, bad EU” narrative since the 1980’s.
by media- I meant the UK News channels -I do not buy UK newspapers anymore.This whole debate is confusing as there is no solution yet
Is there an EU chart which shows anything useful…though with them going for Poland, Hungary & Italy and with Germany changing leaders it might be difficult to call the brexit effects?
Why don’t the politicians agree to Mays Brexit preforma (it’s not a bad deal and nobody else has come up with an alternative) and then they can focus on the trade deal – think Country over Self MPs – that’s why you were elected.
My gut has always said that there will be an eleven and a half hour deal and Mrs May will resign in the immediate weeks following March 29th (my feeling says at her husband’s behest probably pleading ill health) I also have a feeling that give her a few years and her efforts will be highly respected by many – I know that everybody I have spoken to whether Labour or Tory supporter think she is to be respected for her tenacity and loathe the bullying. I think the rump and file of the Tory right are disgraceful
Oh, Larry, how right you are! I am also glad to be retired and thus detachededly watching from the sidelines. But I pity the young who are basically in the middle of a war zone without the glory of being able to do battle as no one has a clue who the enemy is!
No glory to be had or found in this.
Good morning; it seems the Seattle weather today is much more sunny and upbeat than Brexit & peripheral. Who has it worse: the US with a new daily spin on “No collusion!” along with a Fox news anchor as UN ambassor … or… the mess across the pond? Glad I’m retired, as I can filter thru the news feeds while taking coffee in the mornings…then my sleep pills for the evenings 😉 At least two more years of this pinball game. And were not yet in full swing with 2020 election campaigning.
OMG…
