The UK doesn’t know whether to cheer or scream as PM Theresa May in her desperate search for new trade allies post-Brexit bags an early slot in Donald Trump’s visiting dignitary calendar for late this coming week. Politics was always going to win over principle when it comes to economic survival; and from Trump’s point of view the UK offers the unique and glittering prize of a Royal visit.
Oddly enough, Theresa May, for all her schoolmarmy prudery, does appear to blend reasonably well with Trump. Their relationship chart has an exuberant composite Mars trine Jupiter, sextile Venus; with Venus conjunct Sun – so enough friendly positives to outweigh the risks of the composite Sun Mercury Pluto which will turn into a tug of war for the upper hand at points.
TM’s Jupiter in Virgo squares DT’s Sun Uranus opposition Moon and her Sun in Libra is conjunct his Neptune Jupiter, both of which will smooth round rough edges. What may cause some aggro is her rigid Pluto on his Mars Ascendant though her Venus is close by, so maybe she’ll turn on the charm; and could even offer him the opportunity to soften/transform his belligerent approach.
TM’s Saturn in Scorpio sits on his IC as does HM Queen’s Saturn MC, so both will tap into his sense of his roots with a Scottish mother; and indeed German grandmother, both of who were strong women.
His relationship chart with the Queen needless to say isn’t great with a composite Sun opposition Mars, sextile/trine Pluto and trine/sextile Saturn – so rigid, a necessity borne through gritted teeth. That relationship does look ruffled through this year with tr Uranus square Pluto and tr Pluto square the Moon, but HM will no doubt sail on as she does with tricky State visits with icy courtesy. And his Gemini Sun, like Prince Philip’s falls in her 5th which may help.
Prince Charles who is ramping up his climate change campaigning won’t be so enamoured, with DT’s Mars square his Scorpio Sun. Their composite has a smidgeon of friendliness from a Sun Venus conjunction; but also an explosive Grand Trine of Uranus Mars trine Moon, so more fireworks there.
Oh, dear – May’s Sun/Mercury conjunct Trump’s Neptune;Trump’s Mars sextile May’s Neptune. I know this one from bitter personal experience – mutual unfulfilled expectations. May will tend to see Trump as her ‘knight in shining armour’; he will probably genuinely try to live up to her expectations but will ultimately disappoint. Not a good omen when Teresa May hopes to be ‘rescued’ by a trade deal.
TM/DT, exact square of the North Node and Chiron, in the 11th and 2nd houses, respectively. Trying to use each others connections does not bring in the money they thought it would.
QE/DT, square of Chiron and the Moon, in the 3rd and 5th house, respectively. Nothing long term between them.
PC/DT, opposition of the North Node and Jupiter, Winston Churchhill and Adolph Hitler both had this aspect. Hmmm…..it worked out well for one of them. Which makes sense since the South Node is conjunct Jupiter.
