Hi Marjorie, What are your astro predictions for Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana’s new party? They’ve had over half a million people sign up within days, which already blows Reform’s 225k members out the water, and Reform’s losing around 10k a month. Meanwhile, Labour’s circling the drain, now floating yet another sick idea where people only get 25% of their state pension at 67 and have to wait till 72 for the full amount, all while leaving the billionaire class untouched, as usual.
Corbyn’s one of the only MPs who’s shown any moral spine, especially around Palestine, and helped expose the UK training IDF soldiers on our soil. Years ago I dismissed him – thought he was like some sandal-wearing geography teacher, but honestly? In this violent, PR-driven, unstable world, I’d kill for a boring bloke with morals. So, do the stars give him and this movement a real shot?
Lordy, DJT rambling about how Jeffrey Epstein “STOLE” his employees, including Virginia Giuffré on board Air Force One somewhere above Atlantic… What’s the astrology here? Was there “an event” on his chart late July, because this time, the Epstein story refuses to go away and he clearly can’t stay to the script for a 5 minutes presser.
If this results to the US sending some long range missiles to Ukraine for a distraction, it will be the most satisfying “wag the dog” situation I’ve ever experienced.
@ Solaia,
I totally agree with you. At this point, I care more about the future of Ukraine than I do my own country (U.S.).
Solaia, Chris: Trump’s progressed ascendant at 3 Scorpio (fixed sign) is squaring progressed Saturn at 3 Leo (also a fixed sign) in the 9th of legal and foreign matters. Scorpio gets stuck in sex and money – Trump can’t get away from Epstein – or it’s more like Epstein’s ghost is haunting him, or dragging along behind him. Trump is feeling his age, running out of ideas, stuck in past grievances – Scorpio again. His progressed Moon at 18 Scorpio is past a square to the midheaven and for the time being, void of course in the first house of Scorpio ego. Trump can’t find a path forward in this progressed chart and both his lucky planets, Venus and Jupiter, are in the 12th of hidden affairs. Not much joy there. And progressed Mars at 14 Libra in the 2nd of money is conjunct Trump’s natal Chiron (the obsession he can’t fix either). He may be getting richer, but he’s not having a lot of fun. Also, Juno (wife) is rising at 29 Libra, sitting just above the ascendant / horizon. She’s hidden in the 12th, but the potential for change is there so close to the ascendant. Is Melania already gone, but hiding it? She may refuse to show up at all once Juno changes sign into Scorpio as well. So much Scorpio! It just looks like he’s under water (Scorpio being a water sign). There’s no event in sight until the fall (October). That’s just the progressed aspects. Not looking at transits here.
Oh yeah, and now there’s a tsunami, more water, hitting Hawaii and the west coast at this very moment (but that is Dem territory). Will Trump quit golfing and come home to deal with a water/ sink or swim event or emergency? The transits don’t have any planets in water right now, except for Jupiter in Cancer. Might not be a big event. Maybe Trump will stay overseas and wait, Mercury being Rx in his 12th. Suspense, though the tsunami may not get Trump home. Unless there’s a flood in Ukraine, which he wouldn’t bother with either, it looks like he may distract himself for a while longer in Scotland. Just riffing…..
Nope, bad guess – he’s flown back home again.
Solaia – I think transit Neptune is the culprit. It’s entered his 8th house and it really feels to me like his ability to control and keep support is crumbling. It’s like whack-a-mole, he puts a lid on one thing and it pops up again somewhere else.
Also noting that Melania didn’t bother to go to Scotland so he had to drag the grandchildren into his photo ops. So the Saturn/Neptune through 7th & 8th houses seems to be proving correct as Ivanka exited the shenanigans a few years ago; Melania has barely be seen through the 2nd presidency.
While Neptune – an important planet for the US since its cycles appear to weild a lot of influence for the country – returns to its Civil War location, Trump’s Neptunian slip-ups have also included the statement about how he never had the ‘privilege’ as he put it, to visit the island. Real head in hands moments. Even at the best of times, his speech is confusing to follow and rambling. Next year sees transit Saturn in Aries in his 8th square his natal 11th house Mercury in Cancer at 8 degrees, while transit Neptune moves ever closer to square his Mercury in 2027/28. Given that he has a natal Mercury square Neptune anyway, this transit will not only challenge his natal Mercury but also oppose his natal Neptune – a 2 pronged attack on that planet.
In any case, the ghost of Epstein continues to haunt him and is not going to go away. Nor is, I suspect the ghost of Virginia.
SarahK – I’ve commented below on Zarah Sultana’s Maastricht style chart. Also noticed Marjorie’s post on Corbyn and the Labour Party:
“Where there’s likely to be more ructions is 2024 with tr Uranus square the Party Sun Venus and 2025 with the Solar Arc Sun conjunct the Pluto.” Marjorie, October 2020, and spot on!
Of interest: Labour 1906 has Sun 22 Aquarius, Venus ditto, Nodes 20 Leo/Aquarius. The August 2026 Solar Eclipse 20 Leo is right there. Tr Jupiter which could symbolise a leader, legal matters, and so on, will be in Leo, reaching 20 in October, and conjunct UK legislative Saturn 23 Leo in October. I’m tempted to say new PM or even an election around that time.
Thank you. Zarah Sultana has an incendiary chart. She went for it, announcing a new party before others were ready. A quick glance at her synastry with Corbyn and it does not look smooth sailing.
Sultana’s bulldozer natal chart hooks into the fixed planets of the UK’s 1801 chart. She has a fixed T-square, involving five planets, that forms a grand cross with the UK Saturn 23 Leo. Her Uranus Neptune conjunction in Capricorn opposes the UK’s Moon 19 Cancer which is also squared by her Venus 19 Libra. Perhaps that configuration partly reflects her vocal support of trans rights?
If Ms Sultana has anywhere near the effect implementing Maastricht in the UK had, she’ll be very disruptive indeed. At the height of the chaos in July 1993 Pluto was 22 Scorpio, with Uranus Neptune still opposing UK Cancer Moon, the public. Numerous mad shenanigans including:
“The Labour Party brought in MPs who had just had surgery and others who had suffered heart attacks – a stretcher vote – to vote in the House of Commons, in an effort to bring the government down. The loyalists and rebels in the Conservative Party also brought in their own stretcher vote; for example, Bill Cash organised for one MP (Bill Walker), who was seriously ill, to fly from Scotland secretly, then hid him at the rebels’ headquarters in Great College Street, before, with Labour connivance, hiding him in the family room of the Commons so that the Conservative whips would not know; the government consequently lost a vote.” Wiki, Maastricht Rebels
What are the fortunes of the E. U. and this “trade deal” that Italian channels reported about in consternation (it was my impression)?
And I seem to have seen the French prime minister spoke of “dark night” for Europe.
Hello Marjorie,
Could you please take a look at the Freud Museum in London? It was established on the 28th July 1986, exactly 39 years ago.
There is presently an inquiry over bullying and board misconduct. The director resigned recently, staff members are unhappy and invited speakers have been cancelled (without explanation, may I add). And now a letter of complaint has been sent to the Charities Commission over serious issues with a small clique of trustees contravening good practice.
Besides this issue, it would be interesting to look at the Museum’s astrology.
Thank you and much appreciated as always.
Hello Marjorie
Any thoughts on the from left field ( Uranus in Gemini) rocketing popularity of Jeremy Corbyn’s new political party? 500k expressions of interest in a few days seems remarkable and epochal…
The synastry between Corbyn and Sultana would be interesting to look at – looks incredibly challenging on a personal level. Sultana’s chart is very heavy going.
Fabulous win for the England Women’s Football team against Spain today – all taking place while transit Jupiter in Cancer conjuncts the UK’s 1801 Midheaven at 10 degrees and sextiles the Moon at 11 Virgo. And on penalties too! So proud.
Super proud, too. They’re so impressive and cool. Noticed the squad’s Cardinal heavy.
Love Chloe and Leah.
Excruciating, but how wonderful! We’ve come a long way since 1895 when the first professional women’s football match was played. A great team then, captained by one Nettie Honeyball. I think her name was made up though!
Great girls. All spoke of being so proud of being English and their English blood and it was interesting how they were ‘meh’ on william being there.
Perhaps because Prince William skipped the England Vs Spain Women’s football final in 2023, despite being the Chairman of the FA.
Great seeing young Princess Charlotte there showing genuine enthusiasm and excitement.
Marjorie,
It’s reported in the press that Prince William and his family are considering moving from ‘cosy Adelaide Cottage for a grander home – and gothic pile, Fort Belvedere’ , also in Windsor.
I’m intrigued by the astrology of moving house and its astrological significance on its inhabitants. Paticularly: date of build, move in date and individual charts. Edward VIII also lived at Fort Belvedere with Wallace Simpson, so I’m wondering if that could spell doom for the monarchy.
It looks just like the Tower tarot card.
You’re right AC.
Given the cards terrifying reputation for sudden, unavoidable change. Eek.
While admttedly it might be Fort Belvedere it equally could be Highgrove (I think it is called that ) because Camilla’s sister who did all the desiigning and sourced the decor: paintings, furniture and furnishings etc. was removed from that position, because her taste isn’t William and Catherine’s. The woman is still employed by Charles and Camilla. So William might be taking over The Duchy of Cornwall properly.
i would be surprised if they left Windsor. Charles and Camilla spend most of their time at Highgrove and Camilla can often be seen in the gardens when tours go about.
Charles put the garden in a trust, and this was because he felt that he wasn’t going to be there. But I could be wrong. I just don’t think you take that much interest in a house’s decor unless you are planning on living there.
The Leo New Moon opposite Pluto last night showed up with Macron breaking ranks and declaring that France will recognise Palestine as an independent state. With the upcoming kite on the full moon, it will be interesting to see how this now plays out.
Marjorie could you look at the Charts for India’s trade deal with the U.K please My intuition says it is not a good deal!
Investigative and Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi have been reporting on Obama RussiaGate revelations about a hoax.
A recent photo I saw of him -he does not look great.Wondering about his chart in the next year.
In a highly unusual move, Trump is presently meeting people at the Federal Reserve (4pm EDT appointment, July 24, in Washington DC), presumably to target Jerome Powell and possibly the Fed as a whole. Because presidents do not just “visit” the Fed. Perhaps Trump will make some sort of announcement, or stage an incident, while he is there. A flood of words at minimum to follow in the media, likely to distract as much as possible from the Epstein connection. We shall see soon enough. US Congress about to recess for the summer break, with the weekend coming up. No news until September when the budget comes up for real.
Today, transiting Mars at 21 Virgo is in a T-square to Trump’s natal Sun at 22 Gemini (conjunct transiting Venus) and his natal Moon at 21 Sag.
The transit MC at the start of the 4pm meeting is at 0 Libra, conjunct the 4th house cusp of the Fed, which is square the Fed’s natal Pluto at 0 Cancer.
Transiting Uranus at 0 Gemini (news/surprises & upheavals) is trine the meeting MC, which facilitates the purpose of the meeting (the trine making things easier).
The Fed’s progressed Moon in the 6th is conjunct the Fed natal Venus at 19 Sag.
Transiting Mercury at 13Leo 48Rx in the Fed’s 2nd house of money is sextile the Fed’s natal Saturn Rx on the cusp of the 12th at 13 Gemini and trine the Fed’s natal Mercury at 13 Sag. in the 5th of speculation.
Transiting Chiron at 27 Aries in the 10th (the boss) is square the Fed’s natal Neptune at 27 Cancer Rx in the first (money being fungible, which trait fits Neptune perfectly).
You just can’t make this stuff up…..
In addition to the above, the reference for the time of the meeting comes from CNN:
“What’s on President Trump’s schedule today
President Donald Trump continues to face backlash over the Jeffrey Epstein saga, with new reports Wednesday that Attorney General Pam Bondi told Trump in May that his name appeared in documents related to the Epstein case. As the White House continues to deal with the fallout, here’s a look at what Trump is doing today, according to the White House schedule:
3 p.m. ET: Trump will signs executive orders and congressional bills in the Oval Office
3:45 p.m. ET: Trump departs the White House en route to the Federal Reserve
4 p.m. ET: Trump visits the Federal Reserve
5:10 p.m. ET: Trump returns to the White House”
Jeremy Corbyn launched his new political party today, 12.22 on his Twitter by the looks of it. Gives it a Cancer MC with the Moon close by so I guess the name Your Party fits it well if the Moon is the people. It has Libra rising with chart ruler Venus in 9th Gemini which seems like talk and idealistic to me, but with the New Moon w. Sun today opposite Pluto I imagine it will ruffle feathers nonetheless. Pluto in Aqua delivering on branching out from two party politics.
But the Moon was VOC which normally indicates “nothing will come of this”. That’s supported by it being announced before the New Moon so during the Balsamic phase which is the clearing out phase.
I’d really like it to succeed. And I wouldn’t be surprised given the disillusionment with Starmer to see it take some Labour voters and/or MPs. My guess would be that if Labour change leadership in a year or so, as many keep suggesting will happen, and someone who is more in tune with Labour’s working class roots takes over; “Your Party” will ebb away. But that is just guessing
Would there be any different impact astrologically signified by the timing of the earlier “announcement” by Zarah Sultana a few weeks ago ( 3 July 8.11pm on X)
Mercury is Rx at the moment, perhaps explaining some of the confusion? They are having an inaugural conference “in the autumn”, by which time the party should have a name. Possibly the autumn date might be more reliable for the launch/birth of a (by then) named political party? September has two eclipses, plus Mars in Scorpio square Pluto in Aquarius – keying into the UK yod via legal/leadership Jupiter in Leo and Uranus in legal Libra. Mars trine UK Pluto. The awkward 21 September Virgo Solar Eclipse opposes the 1066 Pisces Moon (and tr Saturn), square Uranus, suggesting a shake-up of some kind, and could involve the public’s feelings? Tr Jupiter also crosses the UK Cancer Moon in September, potentially expanding public emotions?
The Labour Party Conference is 28th September-1st October this year. Post eclipse season, but close enough for a bumpy ride I think. Mars will be in Scorpio anyway, heading to oppose itself for the UK, and then join UK Neptune and tr Mercury in October. Wibbly!
I think the appearance of another new party alongside Reform suggests a fragmenting vote altogether, with the potential for a possible multi-party coalition government in the future. Proportional representation may be discussed more widely too. I suspect Pluto, particularly, is breaking down the old two-party system we’re used to and widening the field considerably eventually.
It’s interesting how do we decide which date to use for something. After all, for a marriage we pick the wedding date but preceding that there is first date, the day of proposal, perhaps announcing it on Instagram, “Save the date” cards sent out etc, etc. And yet if a planned marriage doesn’t go ahead what date should we look at.
I agree though with your autumn thoughts Jane. They still have to register with the Electoral Commission, probably decide on a party structure/constitution/name, hold a conference, elect a leader etc, etc. As it stands I’d be inclined to put Corbyn’s announcement over Sultana’s.
Interested to see if it can work. There was the shortlived ChangeUK party in 2019
Thanks GD. I was thinking of it as a bit like a human birth chart. I know some astrologers have worked with conception date (or what’s imagined to be that), prenatal eclipse etc. But generally, we look at the time of birth. This party is still in gestation, so I thought about the contemporary fashion for ‘gender reveal’ parties, and baby showers. You can see the baby on ultrasound, but we don’t meet it until birth.
Yes I agree, Corbyn’s announcement is the one. But since the party isn’t ‘born’ yet, these are simply ‘labour pains’ (sorry!).
I noticed this week was filled with attempts to control the future through a changing of the guard. I had it happen in two unrelated places with two unrelated things. The first on Monday evening was a quieter event. Just several people are retiring and a discussion to figure out who might be recruited who would be good at focusing on the people and not an ego trip.
The second one happened on the date of “Your Party” announcement. One Aquarius Sun person is retiring and yesterday while under a Scorpio Ascendant attempted to change the entire strategic direction of a growing and financially successful company, stop the executive from receiving the same cost-of-living increase the staff has already received and kill off a December bonus for staff that would amount to about $800 each, although this person only has two meetings left. This resulted in his screaming and forcing the meeting to be shut down. It happened as the Leo Sun-Moon opposed Aquarius Pluto and created a tight triangle with the Neptune-Saturn. Watching it astrologically, it looked like a loss of control (Pluto 3h & Saturn-Neptune 5h) which became a narcissistic rant (Leo Sun-Moon 9h).
From where I sit, lots of changing of the guard and who will control the future questions this week.
There certainly seems to be something in the air about who is in control with the old guard fighting to retain it
The Your Party announcement by Corbyn has the Sun (Leo) Pluto opposition. It seems Corbyn initiated the idea of forming a new party after being thrown out of Labour. (People on left have been desperate for him to start a new party for years – after Starmer took over Labour and moved to the right). Of course he must have asked Zarah Sultana (amongst others) to join. It is rumoured there was some disquiet from Corbyn at Zarah’s announcement a few weeks ago where she assigned herself as co-leader. There is the Sun Pluto opposition.
Judging by the numbers signing up there seems to be an appetite for party on the left. But Starmer’s leadership doesn’t seem like it will hold for long, if May’s local elections are as bad as current polling suggest. Angela Rayner’s astrology looks good next year. She is described as ‘soft left’.
The antisemitism ‘crisis’ was a key weapon of the media and political rivals to attack Corbyn’s leadership. It coincided with the Neptune in Pisces era. In the current political climate will it be such an effective attack for his detractors?
Marjorie – re the WEF, I’ll quote your piece on Schwab earlier this year:
“The WEF has tr Pluto conjunct the Sun exactly now and running on and off till late 2026 for a period of breakdown and reconstruction – major pressures for change. Plus tr Uranus will oppose the Mars this July and then the Jupiter and the Neptune in 2026 for a period of high anxiety, jolting shocks and scandals.”
I also notice that their Pluto is 29 Virgo – so is sensitive to the September Virgo Solar Eclipse, opposing Saturn in Pisces. Brady says of SS 9 New South ‘Any news will have a sense of destiny or fatedness about it.’
@Sarah K. Interesting if the announcement correlates than who is retiring? Starmer? Also Pluto heavily represents Starmer, a Sun-Pluto native whose name also means dark star. The 2024 election Pluto rising. Suggests Starmer could have a pronounced effect as opposition to the Your Party Sun?
One thing I noticed about Zarah Sultana’s astro – She was born one day before the Maastricht Treaty came into effect on 1 November, 1993. She’s 31 October 1993. Like Maastricht, her chart’s Scorpio stellium and Saturn in Aquarius focus heavily on UK’s legislative Saturn at 23 Leo. Plus the House of Commons Saturn and Mars in Taurus. Bulldozer! The Nodes enter Aquarius next year, with a 20 Leo Eclipse next August of potential interest. Legal Jupiter hits UK Saturn next autumn. Perhaps there’ll be an early election or change of PM by then?
Hi Marjorie, What are your astro predictions for Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana’s new party?

Today, transiting Mars at 21 Virgo is in a T-square to Trump’s natal Sun at 22 Gemini (conjunct transiting Venus) and his natal Moon at 21 Sag.
The transit MC at the start of the 4pm meeting is at 0 Libra, conjunct the 4th house cusp of the Fed, which is square the Fed’s natal Pluto at 0 Cancer.
Transiting Uranus at 0 Gemini (news/surprises & upheavals) is trine the meeting MC, which facilitates the purpose of the meeting (the trine making things easier).
The Fed’s progressed Moon in the 6th is conjunct the Fed natal Venus at 19 Sag.
Transiting Mercury at 13Leo 48Rx in the Fed’s 2nd house of money is sextile the Fed’s natal Saturn Rx on the cusp of the 12th at 13 Gemini and trine the Fed’s natal Mercury at 13 Sag. in the 5th of speculation.
Transiting Chiron at 27 Aries in the 10th (the boss) is square the Fed’s natal Neptune at 27 Cancer Rx in the first (money being fungible, which trait fits Neptune perfectly).
You just can’t make this stuff up…..
In addition to the above, the reference for the time of the meeting comes from CNN:
“What’s on President Trump’s schedule today
President Donald Trump continues to face backlash over the Jeffrey Epstein saga, with new reports Wednesday that Attorney General Pam Bondi told Trump in May that his name appeared in documents related to the Epstein case. As the White House continues to deal with the fallout, here’s a look at what Trump is doing today, according to the White House schedule:
3 p.m. ET: Trump will signs executive orders and congressional bills in the Oval Office
3:45 p.m. ET: Trump departs the White House en route to the Federal Reserve
4 p.m. ET: Trump visits the Federal Reserve
5:10 p.m. ET: Trump returns to the White House”
Jeremy Corbyn launched his new political party today, 12.22 on his Twitter by the looks of it. Gives it a Cancer MC with the Moon close by so I guess the name Your Party fits it well if the Moon is the people. It has Libra rising with chart ruler Venus in 9th Gemini which seems like talk and idealistic to me, but with the New Moon w. Sun today opposite Pluto I imagine it will ruffle feathers nonetheless. Pluto in Aqua delivering on branching out from two party politics.
But the Moon was VOC which normally indicates “nothing will come of this”. That’s supported by it being announced before the New Moon so during the Balsamic phase which is the clearing out phase.
I’d really like it to succeed. And I wouldn’t be surprised given the disillusionment with Starmer to see it take some Labour voters and/or MPs. My guess would be that if Labour change leadership in a year or so, as many keep suggesting will happen, and someone who is more in tune with Labour’s working class roots takes over; “Your Party” will ebb away. But that is just guessing
Would there be any different impact astrologically signified by the timing of the earlier “announcement” by Zarah Sultana a few weeks ago ( 3 July 8.11pm on X)

Mercury is Rx at the moment, perhaps explaining some of the confusion? They are having an inaugural conference “in the autumn”, by which time the party should have a name. Possibly the autumn date might be more reliable for the launch/birth of a (by then) named political party? September has two eclipses, plus Mars in Scorpio square Pluto in Aquarius – keying into the UK yod via legal/leadership Jupiter in Leo and Uranus in legal Libra. Mars trine UK Pluto. The awkward 21 September Virgo Solar Eclipse opposes the 1066 Pisces Moon (and tr Saturn), square Uranus, suggesting a shake-up of some kind, and could involve the public’s feelings? Tr Jupiter also crosses the UK Cancer Moon in September, potentially expanding public emotions?
The Labour Party Conference is 28th September-1st October this year. Post eclipse season, but close enough for a bumpy ride I think. Mars will be in Scorpio anyway, heading to oppose itself for the UK, and then join UK Neptune and tr Mercury in October. Wibbly!
I think the appearance of another new party alongside Reform suggests a fragmenting vote altogether, with the potential for a possible multi-party coalition government in the future. Proportional representation may be discussed more widely too. I suspect Pluto, particularly, is breaking down the old two-party system we’re used to and widening the field considerably eventually.
It’s interesting how do we decide which date to use for something. After all, for a marriage we pick the wedding date but preceding that there is first date, the day of proposal, perhaps announcing it on Instagram, “Save the date” cards sent out etc, etc. And yet if a planned marriage doesn’t go ahead what date should we look at.
I agree though with your autumn thoughts Jane. They still have to register with the Electoral Commission, probably decide on a party structure/constitution/name, hold a conference, elect a leader etc, etc. As it stands I’d be inclined to put Corbyn’s announcement over Sultana’s.
Interested to see if it can work. There was the shortlived ChangeUK party in 2019
Thanks GD. I was thinking of it as a bit like a human birth chart. I know some astrologers have worked with conception date (or what’s imagined to be that), prenatal eclipse etc. But generally, we look at the time of birth. This party is still in gestation, so I thought about the contemporary fashion for ‘gender reveal’ parties, and baby showers. You can see the baby on ultrasound, but we don’t meet it until birth.
Yes I agree, Corbyn’s announcement is the one. But since the party isn’t ‘born’ yet, these are simply ‘labour pains’ (sorry!).
I noticed this week was filled with attempts to control the future through a changing of the guard. I had it happen in two unrelated places with two unrelated things. The first on Monday evening was a quieter event. Just several people are retiring and a discussion to figure out who might be recruited who would be good at focusing on the people and not an ego trip.
The second one happened on the date of “Your Party” announcement. One Aquarius Sun person is retiring and yesterday while under a Scorpio Ascendant attempted to change the entire strategic direction of a growing and financially successful company, stop the executive from receiving the same cost-of-living increase the staff has already received and kill off a December bonus for staff that would amount to about $800 each, although this person only has two meetings left. This resulted in his screaming and forcing the meeting to be shut down. It happened as the Leo Sun-Moon opposed Aquarius Pluto and created a tight triangle with the Neptune-Saturn. Watching it astrologically, it looked like a loss of control (Pluto 3h & Saturn-Neptune 5h) which became a narcissistic rant (Leo Sun-Moon 9h).
From where I sit, lots of changing of the guard and who will control the future questions this week.
There certainly seems to be something in the air about who is in control with the old guard fighting to retain it
The Your Party announcement by Corbyn has the Sun (Leo) Pluto opposition. It seems Corbyn initiated the idea of forming a new party after being thrown out of Labour. (People on left have been desperate for him to start a new party for years – after Starmer took over Labour and moved to the right). Of course he must have asked Zarah Sultana (amongst others) to join. It is rumoured there was some disquiet from Corbyn at Zarah’s announcement a few weeks ago where she assigned herself as co-leader. There is the Sun Pluto opposition.
Judging by the numbers signing up there seems to be an appetite for party on the left. But Starmer’s leadership doesn’t seem like it will hold for long, if May’s local elections are as bad as current polling suggest. Angela Rayner’s astrology looks good next year. She is described as ‘soft left’.
The antisemitism ‘crisis’ was a key weapon of the media and political rivals to attack Corbyn’s leadership. It coincided with the Neptune in Pisces era. In the current political climate will it be such an effective attack for his detractors?
Davos appears to be almost a dead duck with the final allegations against Klaus Swab emerging.

Marjorie – re the WEF, I’ll quote your piece on Schwab earlier this year:
“The WEF has tr Pluto conjunct the Sun exactly now and running on and off till late 2026 for a period of breakdown and reconstruction – major pressures for change. Plus tr Uranus will oppose the Mars this July and then the Jupiter and the Neptune in 2026 for a period of high anxiety, jolting shocks and scandals.”
I also notice that their Pluto is 29 Virgo – so is sensitive to the September Virgo Solar Eclipse, opposing Saturn in Pisces. Brady says of SS 9 New South ‘Any news will have a sense of destiny or fatedness about it.’
@Sarah K. Interesting if the announcement correlates than who is retiring? Starmer? Also Pluto heavily represents Starmer, a Sun-Pluto native whose name also means dark star. The 2024 election Pluto rising. Suggests Starmer could have a pronounced effect as opposition to the Your Party Sun?
One thing I noticed about Zarah Sultana’s astro – She was born one day before the Maastricht Treaty came into effect on 1 November, 1993. She’s 31 October 1993. Like Maastricht, her chart’s Scorpio stellium and Saturn in Aquarius focus heavily on UK’s legislative Saturn at 23 Leo. Plus the House of Commons Saturn and Mars in Taurus. Bulldozer! The Nodes enter Aquarius next year, with a 20 Leo Eclipse next August of potential interest. Legal Jupiter hits UK Saturn next autumn. Perhaps there’ll be an early election or change of PM by then?
Could you look at Emil bove please and thank you
