Blaise Metreweli is to become the first woman to head MI6 (the UK’s Secret Intelligence Service) from 1 October. [Played by Judi Dench in Bond as ‘M’]. She is currently Director General “Q” – head of the technology and innovation division which has the crucial task of gathering intelligence overseas to improve the country’s security, stop terrorism, disrupt the activities of hostile states and bolster cyber-security.
She was born 30 July 1977 in London and spent some of her childhood in Hong Kong where her medical father worked. She studied anthropology at Cambridge, has had director level roles in MI5 and spent most of her career working in the Middle East and Europe.
An independent, unconventional Sun Leo square Uranus, she has an Air Grand Trine of a determined Mars in Gemini trine Pluto trine an Aquarius Moon with her Mars opposition Neptune, her Moon opposition her Sun and Pluto opposition her South Node. Three Kites and a plethora of sextiles from her Grand Trine make her a thinker, communicator, tough, used to danger, super-ambitious, lucky and talented.
There is nothing showing up as major jeopardy until later this decade 2027 to2029.
Her Term chart, 1 October 2025, has another Air Grand Trine, so suits her cerebral temperament. A Libra Sun is trine Pluto trine Uranus with the Sun opposition Neptune. Neptune is not always useful in an organizational chart but for the smoke-and-mirrors ethos of the intelligence branch it may be exactly what is needed. Pluto squares Mars in Scorpio for daring-do and dastardly-deeds or at least facing them. Not overly grounded or practical but for an increasingly cyber-heavy future that may be an advantage as dead-drops al la George Smiley (Tinker Tailor) become history.
There are a few hints of challenges with tr Uranus square the Saturn/Pluto midpoint this November and April 2026 (could be involved in a war situation – hopefully from afar) with some uncertainties and disruptions through 2026/27. But again the high-risk patch is more 2027/28.
