The long drawn out struggle to appoint a new leader for the defeated Tory Party is a needless exercise in the view of some who see yet another change coming up a year or so ahead. The cartoonists are having a field day sticking a head on the skeletal remains of the Conservative Party.
The Tory chart, 9 May 1912, which is the one which works best against events, is facing stormy seas with repeated upheavals, disruptions and perhaps outright revolutions over the next three years. By late 2025 the Solar Arc Uranus will conjunct the Party Saturn suggesting a move against the old guard and the old ways. With a rebellious, status-quo upsetting tr Pluto conjunct the Uranus through 2025/26. 2028 to 2030 look to be terminally blocked and confused with the Solar Arc Pluto conjunct the Mars Neptune so recovery won’t be swift.
Whichever of the two candidates left standing, Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick, make it through to the blue rosette the result is unlikely to be greeted with delight. The 2nd November announcement falls on the exact, infuriated, frustrated Mars opposition Pluto.
Kemi Badenoch, 2 January 1989, London, no birth time, is a Sun Capricorn trine an enthusiastic Jupiter Mars in Virgo with a Cancer Moon. Over the announcement she has tr Neptune opposition her Saturn which will be uncertain. And the tr Mars opposition tr Pluto is hitting her Solar Arc Mars which would not normally be helpful but since her Mars conjuncts her Jupiter it may not be as blocked. November see tr Pluto square her Jupiter/Neptune midpoint which usually means plans don’t work out. Her December looks much more upbeat and successful. Though 2025 won’t be her favourite year with undermining setbacks.
Robert Jenrick, 9 January 1982, Wolverhampton, no birth time, is another Sun Capricorn, born the same day as the Princess of Wales, with his Sun square Mars and Saturn and widely square Pluto and opposition a Cancer Moon. The Libra Solar Eclipse was conjunct his Mars and next March’s Eclipse will be in opposition so he will be revved up and on fighting form. Tr Jupiter is trine his Sun/North Node over the announcement which will boost his spirits, though it is a minor influence. Tr Pluto is square his Mercury/Node and Jupiter/Saturn also through November; with tr Neptune opposition his Uranus/North Node, none of which look too jubilant. He’ll be on better form through patches of 2025 with tr Pluto square his Jupiter/Pluto midpoint.
The usual election mish mash.
Badenoch would be a better fit with the Tory Party, less so with the UK. Jenrick would be a dominating force within the Tory Party and marginally resented in the UK.
Thanks Marjorie for looking at this tedious, interminable ‘contest’. Looking at the party logo, it seems like such a scribbled, fragmented image, somehow representing what’s going on. We badly need a proper opposition for democracy to function. So I hope they get organised soon, and do something resembling work!
Hugh’s comment prompted a look at Tamworth and also Robert Peel himself. What’s curious is Peel’s manifesto happened when tr Saturn at 21 “legal” Libra was conjunct his natal Neptune in Libra. That Peel Neptune was square Uranus in Cancer, 27. The Tory Party’s S Node is 21 Libra, perhaps carrying Peel’s ideals through as established knowledge or philosophies? Neptune’s dreams are 21 Cancer, Mars 19 Cancer in the party’s chart. UK Moon, the public, being 19 Cancer too. Tamworth Mars is 17 Cancer.
We’ve then got Robert Jenrick with his own Saturn aligning with Robert Peel’s Neptune, and the Tamworth Saturn. Kemi B’s Pluto is also there.
Perhaps worth noting, too, that Robert Jenrick (like the Princess of Wales) was born on the day of a lunar eclipse at 19 Cancer, in what seems like a fairly upbeat Saros Series – 1 South – according to Brady. That seems to plug him, along with the PoW, into the UK’s public represented by the Moon at 19 Cancer in 1801.
Margaret Thatcher’s Sun 19 Libra, Mercury 23 Libra, and Pluto 14 Cancer, offer more echoes.
It’s possible that the upcoming Mars retrograde in Cancer may energise all these links? Mars will turn direct on 24th February, 2025, at 17 Cancer, square Chiron, 19 Aries. It sits around at 17 Cancer from 12 February till 9th March, 2025. Hmmn. There may be trouble ahead?
Here is the Tory Solar Return for 2025. Sun in the 6th, health is a concern.
Uranus on the cusp of the 7th, changes in relationship.
Largest stellium, Saturn-Neptune-Venus oppositionn Moon.
POSITIVE: Practical ideals are fulfilled within the routines of daily activity.
NEGATIVE: Heightened sensitivity leads to emotional confusion, withdrawal.

There are rumours about bringing back Penny Mordaunt who lost her seat in the July GE this year.
Dailymail reported a few days back that Rishi Sunak and Oliver Dowden will resign next month as MPs https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13979093/amp/Nigel-Farage-high-profile-candidate-Rishi-Sunak-seat-Tory-leadership-contest.html
This makes way for Mordaunt to fight by election from Sunak’s seat.
What are Mordaunt’s chances of a comeback as Tory leader?
Penny Mordaunt looks decidedly upbeat this coming January and on and off through the year so she could be on a roll one way or another.
I’m not sure Sunak’s Richmond seat would be a good choice – he took over the constituency from William Hague! Perhaps 3rd time lucky if Mordaunt was able to prove she could revive the Conservative Party?
Interesting I wondered why at pmq Angela said it would be the last time she sparred with Oliver ….I wonder where they will go next and who will win their by-elections
The Pluto/Mars opposition in November falls on the 1848 Conservative Party Tamworth manifesto Neptune and the 1912 Conservative Party progressed Uranus. Astrologically probably not the best time to choose a new leader.
