Another celebrity couple bites the dust as UK tv presenters Eamonn Homes and Ruth Langsford split after fourteen years together, much of it spent sharing a morning show sofa together. Not being a fan or a watcher I am bemused by the fascination shown by the tabloid press but an astrological take on a relationship is always of interest.
He was born 3 December 1959 11.45pm (biography) Belfast, Northern Ireland, and is an outgoing Sun Jupiter in Sagittarius with Mars also in Sagittarius and all square Pluto in Virgo – chatty, adventurous, and do-or-die determined. Plus an Aquarius Moon in his performing 5th house.
It would be a reasonable fit at the start since her Pisces Sn and Mercury fall in his 7th house of relationships and her Jupiter sits in his domestic 4th house. Though she is much more emotional/watery than him with a Scorpio Moon which will make for a couple of opposites with his fiery Sun and Airy Moon. It sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. Can be complementary or bring a lack of understanding about where the other is coming from. She also has a sparky Mars in Aquarius opposition Uranus which squares his Mercury in Scorpio which would be argumentative at times.
Their relationship chart is tricky with an idealistic but ultimately disappointing composite Sun square Neptune; and a really tough Mars Saturn conjunction trine Pluto. It suggests a one-sided relationship where one partner had to suppress their identity/assertiveness to make it work. And that only lasts for so long. Plus a superficially frivolous and amiable composite Sun Jupiter (Moon) conjunction.
It could drag on for a year or two or three since Mars Saturn Pluto relationships don’t let go easy.
The wedding chart, 26 June 2010, for a splashy Hello affair has a mix of adventurous optimism, plus possessiveness and control issues – with a Sun Mercury opposition Pluto (Moon) square Jupiter Uranus opposition Saturn. It also hints that present pressures will drag on for another three years or so.
American royalty of yesteryear is being highlighted in a biography of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, wife of John F Kennedy Jnr, who was killed with her husband in a plane crash in July 1999. A review describes it as ‘cloying’ and more hagiography than a balanced view of her life.
John was born in November 1960 three weeks after his father was elected and was only three when his father was shot in Dallas in 1963. His mother took him and his sister out of the USA for safety in her short-lived, unhappy marriage to Greek shipping magnate Ari Onassis. John as an adult was a paparazzi magnet and constantly in the headlines with multiple liaisons with models and other beauties including actress Daryl Hannah, finally settling for Carolyn Bessette who worked in the fashion business.
They married on 21 September 1996 and were killed three years later on 16 July 1999 when a plane he was piloting crashed. Their marriage was troubled mainly it is said because she felt besieged by the constant media attention.
What is astro-interesting is the solar eclipse close to the plane crash had resonance both for the Kennedy family and the USA.
Saros cycle 1 North – USA
The world’s first atomic bomb was dropped by American forces on Hiroshima on 6 August 1945, four weeks after the 1 North solar eclipse with an exact conjunction of Saturn squaring onto Neptune. It killed 130,000 people and led to the Japanese surrender.
On the next cycle of this eclipse 18 years on, John and Jackie Kennedy’s premature baby son, Patrick Kennedy, died on 9 August, two weeks after the solar eclipse in 1963. Martin Luther King was delivering his rousing civil rights speech in Washington to 200,000 African-Americans campaigning for black civil rights four weeks after the solar eclipse. Three months later President John F. Kennedy was shot in Dallas. The same cycle repeating in 1981 saw US forces shoot down two Libyan planes, and the US air traffic control strike. Then in July 1999, with tragic and eerie synchronicity, J. F. Kennedy’s son John was killed in a plane crash three weeks before the 1 North solar eclipse.
In previous 1 North eclipses, Charles Lindbergh made the first solo, non-stop transatlantic flight, from New York to Paris, in 33 hours, in 1927; and in 1909 a major earthquake destroyed Acapulco, two weeks after the eclipse. The next eclipse in this series occurred in August 1999, in the midst of the Balkans Kosovar crisis, with NATO forces, at war for the first time since 1945, trying to halt the Serbian ethnic cleansing and genocide of Albanians. One further on in August 2017 was in the midst of Trump turmoil and Charlottesville ‘Unite the Right’ rally including neo-nazis and klansmen which exploded into violence and was not condemned by Trump. North Korea was also on red alert with the USA but backed down.
John F Kennedy Jnr 25 November 1960 12.22am Washington, DC, had a 3rd house Sagittarius Sun square Pluto in his 12th; with an Aquarius Moon opposition a 12th house Uranus and a can-be-destructive Mars opposition Saturn. Not a settled temperament, for sure, feeling trapped and desperate to be free as well as resenting the inherent unfairness of his life.
When he was killed on 16 July 1999 at around 9.39pm Martha’s Vineyard, his Solar Arc Midheaven was exactly conjunct his Mars tugging on his accident-prone opposition to his Saturn; with his Solar Arc Pluto approaching the square to his Mars -very high risk. His Solar Arc Mars was just over the conjunction to his Uranus and exactly opposition his Moon. And tr Pluto was conjunct his IC, arguably tapping into his family’s past. A fraught period.
Carolyn Bessette, 7 January 1966 8.45am White Plains, New York, despite her cool, sophisticated appearance was not an easy temperament either. She had a 12th house Capricorn Sun opposition a 6th house Cancer Moon (a hint of her parents’ split marriage) and her Moon was in a self-protective, private Water Grand Trine to Neptune trine Saturn. That Grand Trine focused onto two Kites with an 8th house Uranus Pluto opposition her Saturn and a 6th house Moon as the other driving planet. Quite a complicated personality with a good deal of inner turmoil. Though all fronted up with an outgoing, confident Jupiter in her 5th and a passionately enthusiastic Venus Mars conjunct her Ascendant.
When she died her Solar Arc Sun was square her Neptune and she had two mixed yods – of Uranus Pluto sextile Moon inconjunct her Solar Arc Sun; and SA Sun sextile SA Saturn inconjunct Uranus Pluto – so she’d be in the midst of a lost phase of her life not knowing what she wanted or what would come next.
On the synastry between them his Mars conjunct her Moon would lead to scratchy domestic arguments. Her Uranus Pluto in his 7th and his Saturn in her 7th would not make for harmonious togetherness. Her Sun conjunct his Saturn in the 5th and opposition his Mars would not improve her self-confidence. His Sun conjunct her Midheaven and South Node and her Jupiter in his 10th hint that status and appearances would be an important part of the attraction between them.
Their relationship chart does not have much going for it either.
What is fascinating – in a grim way – is his Mars opposition Saturn which in traditional astrology was associated with assassination. In modern times it can appear in the charts of those who lose a parent early on (for non-violent reasons, I mean). His Mars Saturn opposition would have drawn to exact by Solar Arc when his father was shot in 1963. And when he died himself in 1999 his Mars was triggered by his Solar Arc Midheaven. His wife was also intimately tied into his Mars Saturn having her Capricorn Sun opposition Moon sitting on top of it. And his Sun/Moon midpoint at 15 degrees Capricorn, his marriage signifier, was in close aspect to his Mars Saturn as well hinting at marital disharmony.
Sebastian Junger, American journalist, war correspondent and author of The Perfect Storm, is no stranger to death or danger. But a near terminal experience in 2020 from an internal medical rupture which evoked an image/hallucination of his father, who had died eight years earlier, sent him into an exploration of near death experiences.
‘As he felt himself hover over a terrifying black pit, “I became aware of something else: my father.” Eight years dead, this physicist and atheist reassured his dying son. “It’s OK, there’s nothing to be scared of,” he seemed to be saying. “Don’t fight it. I’ll take care of you.”
The Times reviewer said: “It is fascinating to read a clear-eyed rationalist’s case for an afterlife.”
“Knowing that oxygen starvation produces euphoric hallucinations still does not explain why so many people see a loved one or even whole family reunions.”
I wondered if there were any clues in his chart about what was going on when he nearly died and why he would have had the reactions he did.
Born 17 January 1962 7.42pm Boston, Massachusetts, he has a 5th house Sun, Venus, Mars in Capricorn so attention-seeking, a performer. His Sun conjunct Saturn in Aquarius is on the focal point of a yod inconjunct Uranus and a Gemini Moon in his 10th. His father would have been a key though not easy influence in his life.
He also has Pluto just below his Ascendant opposition Chiron on his Descendant.
When his pancreatic artery ruptured in June 2020 he was exactly on his Second Saturn Return which is usually a weighty moment of decision-making, a significant marker in life. More so in his case given that his Saturn is loaded being beside the Sun and on the yod apex.
Even more notable than that, his 7th house Chiron (opposition Pluto) was feeling the impact of an exact Progressed Mars conjunct his Chiron. Pluto opposition Chiron natally suggests an individual drawn to danger and excitement, almost to an addictive degree. With the suggestion that it may have emerged out of a lack of containment by the mother – which with Uranus Pluto on the Ascendant indicating a traumatic birth would seem not unlikely.
Melanie Rhinehart also talks of Pluto Chiron aspects bringing a connection to the ancestral line who bring a ‘protective membrane around the living, shielding them from direct exposure to the world of archetypal energies beyond.’ And with it comes a compulsion to study death, and where used constructively to ultimately transform society’s view of it.
On his draconic chart his Uranus, Pluto and North Node all fall in his natal 8th, the house of death and rebirth.
This is a fair amount of special pleading and rambling but intriguing all the same.
Paula Vennells, former boss of the Post Office on the hook for the Horizon debacle was supposed to be the highlight of the inquiry but was somewhat overshadowed by the election announcement. She was in charge when innumerable sub postmaster/mistresses were wrongly on the basis of a malfunctioning computer system. Some went to prison, others died before apologies were wrung out of seemingly shameless managers.
She sniffed into a tissue throughout her questioning by barristers, blamed underlings, said she didn’t know and generally flailed around ducking all responsibility and self-awareness. And this from an Anglican priest no less.
Born 21 February 1959, she has an eye-catching and toe-curling chart with a Pisces Sun Mercury opposition Pluto square Mars opposition Jupiter. A Mutable Grand Cross involving Mars Pluto is a pile-up of control issues, changeability, indecision, poor concentration, desperation and opportunism from Mars Jupiter. And overall a tendency to be swept along by prevailing events. She also has an unyielding Saturn in Capricorn inconjunct Mars (maybe on the focal point of a yod involving a flamboyant, attention seeking Leo Moon) and trine Pluto, sextile Neptune. The yod with Saturn on the focal point sounds more than feasible since it always bring an element of karmic payback for failures of decency and responsibility.
She has already forfeited her CBE for bringing the Honours system into disrepute, lost her health service job (finally) and is facing a highly uncomfortable few years after tr Uranus moves into Gemini in 2025 as it rattles up all her Mutable planets for three years or so.
Syria pushed down the agenda recently because of other Middle Eastern tensions may become a pressing issue again with the EU electorate increasingly resistant to any uptick in immigrant refugees. Tiny Lebanon, which has been overwhelmed with millions of Syrian refugees since the uprising against Assad in 2011, is at the end of its tether and has recently seen an increase in migrant boats heading for Cyprus and Italy.
The best solution to relieve the pressure would be an engagement with Assad in the hopes of settling the internal situation. But that seems a faint hope.
Assad’s Presidency 17 July 2000 has survived brutal challenges in recent years with tr Pluto opposition the Mars, North Node and Sun in Cancer and is heading for a different set of disruptions in the next two or three years. This year there is an uncertain, panicky Solar Arc Neptune square the Saturn. From mid 2025 tr Uranus will conjunct the Saturn for a period of high-tension and eruptions; with an applecart-upsetting Solar Arc Sun opposition the Uranus in 2026. Plus tr Pluto conjunct the Neptune and opposition Venus in 2026/27.
Assad’s personal chart, 11 September 1965, no birth time, is moving through a critical – life-changing – phase with his Solar Arc Sun Pluto Uranus conjunction crossing over his natal Mars Neptune conjunction in Scorpio – which will bring a shed load of problems, aggravations, challenges, and disappointments. This year looks caged, trapped and high-risk; 2025 looks agitated, insecure and undermined and so on till 2028.
On top of his political and geopolitical pressures and risk from understandably disaffected Syrians, he is also coping with his wife’s leukaemia diagnosis following her breast cancer a few years back. Asma Assad was born 11 August 1975 and is looking rattled with tr Uranus conjunct her Mars from this August onwards into 2025. Their relationship chart, which is a stressed at the best of times is on alert right through this year and next from sudden Uranian jolts as well as the late Virgo/Pisces eclipses in late 2024/25 exerting pressure on their joint influence.
Bashar Assad’s relationship chart with Syria 1 January 1944 is in for a severe shake up from this June onwards through till early 2026 with tr Uranus square the Mars and then Pluto. There may be repercussions from the Middle Eastern instability across this summer which extend on.
Riots on the tiny Pacific island of New Caledonia have produced a grandstanding visit by French president Macron intent on squashing the revolt and countering growing Chinese influence in the region.
A French journalist said ‘in the ongoing blame game, it’s hard not to point to Macron himself as the arsonist in chief. He’s the one who set in motion a parliamentary vote in Paris’ which went against previous assurances and set off the insurrection. ‘Paris’s answers have been characteristic of Macron’s top-down style. Instead of asking one of the few experienced French officials that the locals value, the 69-year-old former high commissioner Thierry Lataste, he was accompanied on his trip by a clone-like trio of 40-something technocrats guaranteed not to contradict him.’ He is now backtracking.
New Caledonia remains part of France, having voted against independence. It is the world’s third biggest nickel producer, with up to 30 per cent of global reserves, but a fifth of the residents live below the poverty threshold.
New Caledonia was annexed by France on 24 September 1853. The Libra Sun trine Saturn in Gemini is being stressed by tr Pluto trine Saturn now and by tr Neptune Saturn in Aries opposition the Sun in 2025/26. Even more heated is tr Pluto opposition the Mars in Leo, square Pluto in Taurus in 2024/25 and then square the Venus – so a long stretch ahead of challenges and aggravation.
Despite voting against independence in recent referendums the relationship with the French overlords has never been good. The relationship chart has a composite Mars Sun opposition Pluto square Uranus opposition Neptune which is implacably hostile, disruptive and unstable. The Mars Pluto is being rattled by this coming September’s Lunar Eclipse and early/ late eclipses in 2025. With the entry of tr Neptune Saturn into Aries causing more discord through 2025 to 2027. Nothing that will settle soon.
New Caledonia seems like a dot on the map where France’s priorities are concerned but the problems there may be symptomatic of larger celestial challenges. Tr Pluto is already squaring the France Saturn opposition Jupiter. Tr Uranus is still wending its explosive way round the France revolutionary, turbulent Fixed T Square of Pluto opposition Uranus square Mars with another significant jolt come this June (and on into 2025). Plus plus Solar Arc Sun square the Pluto opposition Uranus, exact in six to nine months but on the same degree within a week or so. Plus the France Sun at 29 Virgo is catching the tr Neptune opposition now till early September and again into early 2025. That is a perfect storm of considerable force.
Macron himself has a last degree Sagittarius Sun and Mercury which tr Neptune is busy undermining. His Term chart of 13 May 2022, is being rattled now by tr Uranus conjunct the Sun and then square Saturn in June, repeating across November, the New Year into April 2025. He’s not standing on solid ground.
The UK election on July 4 2024 has an upbeat tr Jupiter in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius running through most of the campaigning. Though there are ominous signs of aggravation from Mars in Taurus from 9th June which makes a high-risk, ruthless square to Pluto on June 11th and aims for the explosive/destructive Algol Uranus conjunction by 18 July – all the while ploughing through the UK’s deep, dark 8th house of finances, secrets and transformation. Plus Neptune conjunct the ‘shipwreck’ Scheat throughout till early September.
The global situation in the Middle East and elsewhere is poised on a knife edge right through June, with tensions reaching a peak through July which will have an impact; with the probability of other ‘black swan’ events guaranteed to throw the best laid political plans into confusion.
Election astro-prediction is a tricky business with charts often being without a birth time so information is missing. Plus campaigning is stressful which shows up and can be mistaken for a loss rather than plain exhaustion or panic at winning. The latter in this case is even more likely given the poisoned chalice that comes with a victory. Sometimes a defeat can open up opportunities for lucrative jobs in the private sector especially for chancellors so there can also be rejoicing in the face of an election loss. Or a down-the-liner regards a loss as an opportunity to step up the chain of command as the leader topples.
The UK chart has tr Pluto trine the Uranus from late this month to July 18th which sounds like a change. At the same time tr Pluto is opposition the UK Jupiter (= confident, over confident); conjunct the Neptune/Node midpoint (= panic, breakdown of relationships); and square the Sun/Saturn midpoint (= depressed about health/NHS?) – which adds up to a whole lot of conflicting agendas and reactions.
The relationship charts between the UK and Starmer hint at a lack of trust from a composite Sun, Mercury, Neptune, Saturn conjunction and suspicion about his implicit drive for control from a composite Mars opposition Pluto – which Blair also had with the UK. He started with optimism and ended in hostility. With Rishi Sunak there are also trust issues but although it is a less stressed relationship chart, there are slight hints of a parting of the ways this year.
Keir Starmer, 2 September 1962, does have tr Jupiter in Gemini square his Sun Pluto in Virgo exactly on the day of the election which should give him a mild boost. He looks energized now till late May, jittered and jangled through June. His Leadership chart looks uncertain through June and is moving through a gruelling several-year phase which won’t end soon. Plus his personal chart shows major confusion from SA Pluto conjunct his Neptune this year and then SA Sun conjunct his Neptune probably early next year; and a car-crash (metaphorically speaking) late 2025/26 with Solar Arc Mars conjunct his Sun Pluto. If he does win, it won’t last; or personal issues will interfere with his ambitions.
Rishi Sunak, 12 May 1980, is slap bang in the middle of his midlife crisis of tr Uranus opposition Uranus when he reflects on all his unfulfilled ambitions from the past and makes impulse decisions. He looks upbeat and lucky from early August with tr Uranus square his Jupiter/Node midpoint (or that could be in 2025 if his birth time is late in the day). Before then all that is showing both on his personal and PM chart are highly emotional tr Pluto aspects to Venus and Venus midpoints.
Amended: Now that I look carefully, if his birth time is late evening then he has two fairly catastrophic aspects. One is his Progressed Mars square his Neptune exact on a 10pm birth with his Solar Arc Pluto less than a degree away from a square to his Mars. Both of these look like a swingeing defeat.
Jeremy Hunt, the Chancellor, is feeling lucky in the first half of June and again after July 8th with tr Uranus opposition his Jupiter/Pluto midpoint. Though completely jammed in before and after the election with tr Saturn square his Mars/Pluto midpoint.
Oliver Dowden, Deputy Prime Minister, is upbeat across the election with tr Uranus opposition his Mars/Jupiter and Jupiter/Node midpoints. Grant Shapps, the Defence Minister, on the other hand looks devastated and hemmed in – though global events could also play a part in that.
Ed Davey, LibDems, will be frustrated and trapped right through campaigning and the election result with tr Pluto conjunct his Mars.
Richard Tice, Reform, will get an uplift in the aftermath of the election from July 8th onwards into August with tr Uranus conjunct his Jupiter in Taurus and in August opposing his Jupiter/North Node midpoint.
The usual mixter maxter of conflicting influences. I wouldn’t completely write the Tories off though the country undoubtedly wants change. Better the devil you know????? Or not.
Add On: Greens – Carla Denyer, 24 September 1985 (twitter birthday + company check) – tr Jupiter square her Mars in Virgo on the day itself and her SA Sun conjunct her South Node. Not much else. Adrian Ramsay, 1 January 1982, tr Pluto square his Jupiter/Pluto midpoint up to and over the election – sounds as if something is going right for them.
ADD ON: A fleeting glance at other notables.
Jeremy Corbyn standing as an independent with Sun, Venus, Mercury and Uranus in Gemini will appreciate Jupiter’s move into Gemini from this week onwards. In a generally upbeat year he isn’t making much progress across campaigning and the election.
Wes Streeting, Shadow Health, is labouring mightily, feeling discouraged across campaigning; and sagging badly late July to early September. Like Starmer his 20256/27 is very bad news.
Suella Braverman, former Home Secretary, seriously rattled until after the election and more so in August and on. Tending to erupt into over reactions.
Boris Johnson -frustrated and irritable till after mid July, discouraged thereafter.
Penny Mordaunt, in a generally upbeat year though not over the election with her Mars/Saturn and Saturn/Node midpoints both at 29 Pisces catching the undermining tr Neptune conjunction plus shipwrecking Scheat.
Add On: Michael Gove resigning may be a hint of what he regards as the likely scale of an impending Tory defeat. Described as “the most consequential politician never to have held one of the four great offices of state” he will be remembered for stabbing Boris Johnson in the back and for his mystifying support for leave in the Brexit referendum. His relationship with Rishi Sunak was never amiable with a composite Mars Pluto conjunction with Pluto square Saturn and Mars square the composite Sun – chained together and resenting it. There is real dislike in there.
Oddly enough his chart is reasonably similar to Bashar Assad’s, born two years earlier. Both are Sun Virgos with Uranus, Pluto and Mercury in Virgo as well as Mars Neptune conjunct in Scorpio. Gove will find the years from 2026 to the end of this decade difficult with his Solar Arc Pluto Uranus conjunct his Mars Neptune.
ADD ON: The Diane Abbott situation is proving a headache for Keir Starmer. The former shadow Home Secretary under Corbyn’s regime she was suspended last year for saying Jewish, Irish and Traveller people do not face racism “all their lives” but that Labour Party restriction has now been lifted, though there are conflicting claims about whether she has been barred from standing again as an MP. Born 27 September 1953, she is a Sun Libra with her Mars in Virgo conjunct Starmer’s Sun Pluto conjunction – so a clash of sorts was always inevitable. Their relationship chart is riddled with problematic aspects. A cool Sun square Saturn; and ego clashes and disappointment from a Neptune opposition Jupiter square Mars T square. It won’t get easier over the next two or three years.
Election UK July 4th – day itself plus Sunak and Starmer charts. Details tomorrow. Mars moving into Taurus on June 9th squaring Pluto and then aiming for Uranus and Algol conjunct around July 16th – all looks fraught, especially since Mars is moving through the UK’s deep and dark 8th.
The International Criminal Court seeking arrest warrants for both Israeli and Hamas leaders over the Gaza conflict has outraged Israelis and landed western leaders in a tricky dilemma, despite their recent warnings to Netanyahu about pulling back. The ICC prosecutor Karim Khan’s move effectively puts Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on par with Hamas leaders Yehiya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyeh and Mohammed al-Masri and adds another layer of complexity to a situation grid-locked by Netanyahu’s refusal to discuss an end game and Hamas’s implacably hostile, kamikaze mindset. It is the first time that The Hague court has pursued the leader of a western-backed state.
The ICC was founded on 1 July 2002 to investigate genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, and has a Cancer Sun inconjunct Neptune = good intentions but not always productive. The Saturn in Gemini opposition Pluto of 2002 (in the aftermath of 9/11, and in the midst of Afghan and pre-Irag wars) suits the ICC for tackling wars and brutality.
Karim Khan, 30 March 1970, Edinburgh, Scotland, is a UK barrister of Pakistani origin, who was in charge of the ICC’s probe into Russia’s war in Ukraine. He has had a long career in domestic and international criminal law, working on cases on the former Yugoslavia and post-genocide Rwanda.
”The biggest potential hazard confronting Khan would come if he was unable to secure support from the very countries — particularly in Europe — who created the ICC, and who would have to execute any arrest warrants.“ So far France has come out in support of the ICC move.
Norway, Ireland and Spain have recognized a Palestinian state in the face of Israel’s condemnation.
The ICC’s reforming Uranus is exactly opposition Israel’s stubborn and ego-centric Mars in Leo for a clash of agendas. Intriguingly the ICC’s Jupiter in Cancer (conjunct Mars) sits on top of Israel’s patriotic Cancer Midheaven which at a simplistic level would seem helpful in making Israel more successful. But clearly Jupiter brings its other dimension of influencing Israel to “acquire a sense of cultural responsibility and ethics in public life” (Sakoian & Acker). June 2025 would look to be a high-stakes moment with tr Uranus square the Israel/’s Mars and the ICC’s Uranus.
The Israel/ICC relationship chart has a tussle-for-the-upper-hand composite Jupiter Pluto conjunction in an unyielding square to Saturn; with an evasive/disappointing composite Sun Mercury opposition Neptune; and a different-agenda Uranus square Venus. Transiting Saturn is chilling relationships as it squares the composite Sun Mercury all this year.
Karim Khan, is a Sun Aries opposition Uranus – go-ahead, uncompromising, keen to break old moulds; with a hard-edged, determined Saturn Mars in Taurus with Saturn opposition Jupiter. He looks on red alert this year with his Solar Arc Mars square his Sun. All the 2024/25 eclipses catch his Sun Mercury in Aries and his Pluto in late Virgo – challenging times for him. 2025 looks nerve-stretched.
Amal Clooney, 3 February 1978, whose background as a lawyer is human rights has been brought in as one of several special advisers. She is a Sun Venus in Aquarius square Uranus in Scorpio and trine Pluto; with her Saturn in Leo at 28 degrees conjunct the Israel Mars and opposition the ICC’s Uranus – which will make 2025 a year to watch as tr Uranus moves to hard aspect that degree.
