Clare Foy who won the Emmy for lead actress playing the young Queen Elizabeth 11 in The Crown has had a sterling career from the start with acclaimed theatre and television performances in Little Dorrit and Wolf Hall amongst others. She is playing Stieg Larsson’s flawed heroine Lisbeth Salander in the film The Girl in the Spider’s Web out later this year.

Born 16 April 1984 in Stockport, England, she has a see-saw chart with Sun Venus in Aries and Mercury in Taurus on one side and a fearsome collection of Pluto, Moon, Saturn, Mars in Scorpio on the other; along with Uranus, Neptune, Jupiter. Not quite the steady HM Queen she played to perfection.  She will have problems finding a balance in her life, constantly hopping between opposites. Aries and Scorpio are a tricky mix.

She has charm aplenty with her Venus in a frivolous square to Jupiter in Capricorn and in a sparkling trine to Uranus.

Her Solar Arc Uranus was conjunct her Jupiter when she was cast in The Crown in 2014 for a considerable lucky break.

Her actresses’ 15^th Harmonic is exceptionally strong joining Sun to Venus to Jupiter Pluto.

The USA Constitution has been shaken by in recent times by a president who clearly dislikes restrictions on his personal power. Which was why it was written 231 years ago by the founding fathers to put balances and checks in place.

Signed on 17 September 1787, the chart is showing the stress of life since late 2016; with worse to come into the 2020s.

Not surprisingly for a political framework guided by a definite ideology it has an Air Grand Trine of Jupiter in Gemini in an idealistic trine to Neptune which trines onto a formidably enduring Saturn Pluto in Aquarius. The Virgo Sun is in an expansive square to Jupiter. And there’s a Yod of Sun sextile Uranus inconjunct Saturn suggesting inner strength, social responsibility, steadiness of purpose. Such a Yod demands a great deal of self-discipline for it to operate well.

That central Pluto Saturn in the Constitution chart opposes Trump’s 12^th house Pluto and Mars, so will arouse his anger and run slap bang up against his need for control.

The relationship chart between the two has a chained-together-and-resenting-it composite Sun Mercury square Saturn Pluto. There will be upsets this November and next February as tr Uranus squares the composite Mars. But it will be 2020 when it is put to its severest test with tr Uranus square the Sun and conjunct Saturn – so there will be an almighty set to.

The Constitution chart itself was showing signs of concern and devastation over the 2016 election with tr Pluto square the Neptune; with Solar Arc Sun in a blocked square to the Constitution Pluto; and six months ago Solar Arc Mars conjunct the Saturn.  Where it shows even more strain will be during the next presidency, kicking off with Solar Arc Moon conjunct Uranus mid 2021, and Solar Arc Saturn conjunct Neptune late 2021. Followed by Solar Arc Uranus opposition Sun in 2022; tr Neptune opposition Sun and square Jupiter in 2022/23; and tr Pluto square the Uranus in 2023/24.

ADD ON:

Looking back to similar planetary occurrences:

Pluto in hard aspect to the Constitution’s Neptune: during Jimmy Carter’s presidency in 1978/79. And in 1927/28 for Calvin Coolidge, small government conservative. Both are thought of as below-average presidents.

Neptune in hard aspect to the Constitution Sun: 1981/2 – exact over the first three months of Ronald Reagan’s presidency, exact over his attempted assassination. Iran-Contra scandal kicks off in secret.

1940 – WW11 running in Europe. Pearl Harbour in the aftermath, a year later.

1898/99: William McKinley president – shot 1901.

The USA Civil War in 1861 was just after tr Neptune had opposed the Constitution Sun (1858/59) and tr Pluto squared the Constitution Pluto and, following that, Saturn in the bitter aftermath.

Actor Donald Sutherland is still going strong after five decades of highly respected work, most recently dominating as J. Paul Getty in FX TV’s Trust. Before that in The Hunger Games, Cold Mountain, The Italian Job, way back to Kelly’s Heroes, Mash, and The Dirty Dozen.

Born 17 July 1935 11.30am St John’s Canada, he started acting early but was in his 30s before he made his breakthrough and from then on never looked back.

He has a 10^th house Sun Pluto conjunction opposition North Node square Mars in Libra, so a powerful, controlling, influential and determined personality, who would come on very strong in his younger days – impulsive and aggressive. His maverick Aquarius Moon is in his performing 5^th square an 8^th house Uranus, suiting him for oddball roles, as well as villains from his Mars Pluto. Jupiter in money-magnet Scorpio in his financial 2^nd will have given him luck. Though his emotional planets are not that easy with a 12^th house Venus Neptune opposition Saturn plus his Moon Uranus. He’s been married three times, with two children from his second marriage (Kiefer being one) and three from his third.

His actor’s 15^th Harmonic could not be more notable with an Earth Grand Trine formed into a Kite with Jupiter as the leading planet.

Now 83 and still working as hard as ever.

Sandra Oh, much loved Cristina Yang in Grey’s Anatomy for nine years, is the first Asian to be nominated for an Emmy as lead actress in Killing Eve, playing a Brit spook hunting a female serial killer. She’s already won multiple awards and been Emmy nominated before but never taken the prized statuette home.

Born 20 July 1971 in Ottawa, Canada, to Korean immigrant parents, she has a powerful chart with a Cancer Sun trine Jupiter in Scorpio, sextile Pluto – ambitious, confident, lucky, tuned into the public mood. She has a feisty Mercury in Leo opposition Mars in Aquarius squaring onto Jupiter; and a creative Saturn opposition Neptune Jupiter. And a wide yod of Sun sextile Pluto inconjunct Mars – so quite a force to be reckoned with.

Her actor/actress 15^th Harmonic is forceful in the extreme tying together Sun in opposition to Mars Pluto and squaring Saturn – so roles involving psychopaths or which walk on the dark side will suit her.

There’s nothing much showing up on her chart (without a birth time) for the Emmy’s this week. But she’ll power ahead in 2022 when tr Pluto sextiles her Jupiter; with a lucky break in 2020 with her Solar Arc Uranus conjunct her Jupiter then.

The turbulent Mars Uranus square tied into the North Node on the recent eclipses is certainly making its presence felt with a deadly typhoon striking the Philippines with 60 dead from landslides, now making an assault on the China coast. And that’s on top of the Carolina tropical storm deluge.

The Philippines 4 July 1946 9.15 am Manila chart has Solar Arc Neptune square the Moon in effect now and for the next few months, with economic damage to farmland causing concern as well as the mortalities. And tr Neptune is also square the Phil Moon this year and next; with Solar Arc Saturn conjunct the 2^nd house Neptune for financial devastation.

The Philippines 10 December 1898 8.45pm Paris, France chart, for the start of US rule also seems to hold good. Tr Neptune is square the Pluto exactly now and returning to square the Saturn in 2019 and then the Sagittarius Sun. So the recovery will be long and hard.

The 1946 chart had the Leo Solar Eclipse conjunct the Venus for an emotional upset; and the 1898 had the eclipse conjunct Ascendant, for another challenge.  Locating the Eclipses to the Philippines puts Jupiter on the MC and Mercury Node on the Descendant for the Leo Solar and Pluto on the descendant for the Lunar.

If anything the China coast looks even harder hit with the Leo Eclipse Mars sitting on the Ascendant. It’s an unholy combination – Neptune blowing up a tempest boosted by the explosive Mars Uranus.

Eliud Kipchoge, the Kenyan reckoned the best distance runner of all time will compete in tomorrow’s Berlin Marathon. He has won nine of the 10 marathons he has entered, including Berlin twice, is the reigning Olympic champion and has never sustained a serious injury. His formula is –  Motivation + Discipline = Consistency.

Born 5 November 1984 in rural Kenya, he ran to school since there was no transport and was helped into competitive sport as a teenager by a local athlete who had returned home from the US to run training programmes.

He has his Sun in Scorpio conjunct Saturn with Pluto and Mercury also in Scorpio – so he’s not short of determination or endurance, despite his slight size and weight of 5 foot 6 and 115 pounds. His Saturn is in a disciplined sextile to Mars in Capricorn; and his Pluto is in a confident sextile to Jupiter, with his Mars in aspect to his Jupiter/Pluto midpoint. His Uranus is conjunct his Mars/Pluto midpoint and his Pluto aspects his Sun/Mars – all of which make sense for a brutal sport requiring a punishing training schedule and extreme mental discipline to overcome pain and fatigue. Which just goes to show there are ways of using difficult aspects in a chart and turning them to constructive ends.

His chart has some similarities to Dennis Kipruto Kimetto, the present marathon world record holder, 22 January 1984, who has an Aquarius Sun square Pluto Mars in Scorpio with Saturn also in Scorpio. He also has Jupiter sextile Pluto; and his Pluto aspects his Sun/Mars midpoint.

Of the other four marathon champions’ charts I looked at – Kiprotich, Tergat, Bikla, Gebrselassie – all have their Jupiter/Pluto midpoint in aspect to one of their planets, as well as either Mars/Saturn or Mars/Pluto.

Kiprotich has a formidably tough-minded Mars, Saturn, Pluto in Libra inconjunct his Pisces Sun which squares Neptune. And Tergat has a powerhouse Pluto, Jupiter, Uranus in Virgo square his Gemini Sun, with his Sun inconjunct his Neptune.  Neptune also surprisingly often turns up in athletes’ charts, giving the lie to its reputation for wimpy low energy.

Daniel Kaiser-Küblböck, a former German Pop Idol phenomenon, known as Wacky Daniel for his androgynous appearance and Rosa Luxembourg alter-ego has disappeared overboard off a cruise ship in Newfoundland waters. His family says he was likely larking about on the rail and fell though other passengers say he was acting oddly beforehand, seemed lonely and had an ‘incident’ with a bartender. He took the cruise to recover from what he claimed was bullying at an theatre acting school he was attending.

Born 27 August 1985 2.47 am Hutthurm, Passau, Germany, he had a Virgo Sun trine Neptune and sextile a 4^th house Pluto in Scorpio; with a 4^th house Saturn in Scorpio square Mars – so a stressful, cold and scary childhood. One brother, a neo-Nazi, died from a heroin overdose.  He had maverick Uranus in his performing 5^th in a high-wire and overly excitable trine to Mars Mercury in flamboyant Leo. His Capricorn Moon opposed Venus in Cancer on his Ascendant, perhaps inclining him to his female alter-ego as an escape from the overly-tough masculine energies in his chart, stemming from his father.

His Sun was square his Neptune/Pluto midpoint which can be fairly off-the-wall and prone to delusions. He also had an expansive Pluto opposition Taurus Node square Jupiter in Aquarius in his 7^th so he did have confidence and the ability to please. But it wasn’t strong enough to balance out his stressed emotional life.

It’s been a tricky year for him: Tr Uranus had been opposition his Pluto for several weeks running into last weekend, which would make him feel he was sitting on an earthquake, not so much of anger, but a seismic shift, which would make him feel out of control. Tr Uranus was also opposition his Sun/Neptune midpoint which wouldn’t help him think clearly. Tr Saturn was in a heavy sextile to his Pluto; having been in a blocked square to Sun/Pluto and Mercury/Saturn in the weeks before which would be discouraging.

Relocating his chart to Newfoundland put his Moon on his midheaven and Saturn in his 7^th, with Uranus and Neptune in his 8^th, so not a great region for him.

His creative though can-be-unstable 7^th Harmonic was strong; as was his ‘victim’ 12H. A troubled soul who had his five minutes of fame but couldn’t sustain his success.

Princess Diana’s lover, Islamic art expert Oliver Hoare has died. He was the most passionate of her string of liaisons as her marriage cracked and she dreamed of running away to Italy with him. He was married with three children, luckily for him to a French wife more laid back about extra-marital flings than most, and he wouldn’t leave them. He was a friend of Prince Charles before and after the affair in that odd laissez-faire aristo way. It came to public notice after she and Hoare broke up when he reported obsessive numbers of nuisance silent phone calls which were traced back to Princess Diana.

Born 18 July 1945 (Times obit) he was a Sun, Saturn in Cancer with a Scorpio Moon. His Mars in Taurus was conjunct her 5^th house Venus in Taurus so there would be a powerful attraction; and his Moon was conjunct her Neptune, trine her Sun Mercury and square her Jupiter so he would stir up her dreams and fantasies.

Their relationship chart had a frivolous, indulgent composite Jupiter opposition Venus with Jupiter square Pluto, so for a while it would feel empowering. But there was an insurmountable composite Neptune opposition Saturn square Sun Mars Uranus conjunction. Neptune Saturn can give rise to paranoia and Uranus Neptune can be fanatical. The tr Uranus Neptune in Capricorn was stirring up that T Square when they split in 1994 and she clearly went into meltdown. Tr Pluto would also be opposing her Venus which would stoke up the intensity of her feelings.

Prince Charles’ Scorpio Sun opposed her Venus which would give a frisson of attraction, but his Uranus fell in her 7^th house of one-to-one relationships, so it was never going to work. Plus a dose of competitiveness from his Mars on her Ascendant; and the relationship chart had an exact composite Mars Neptune which leads to only-one-can-win-games. One succeeds, the other feels diminished, so the opposite of mutually supportive.

Will Carling, the rugby player – a lively Sun Sagittarius opposition Jupiter square Uranus Pluto –  and Hasnat Khan, the heart surgeon – a Sun Venus in Aquarius with a Cancer/Leo Moon – who were also her lovers, both had Venus in Aquarius conjunct her Jupiter which would  boost her confidence. Dodi Fayed would have offered her a home with his Aries Sun on her IC, but that wouldn’t have worked either.

She seemed destined not to find a committed partner who would suit her Gemini Descendant.   Searching but never finding.

Hungary under Viktor Orban has been accused by the EU parliament over breaches of the EU’s core values – attacks on the media, minorities, and the rule of law. All hotly denied. More than two-thirds of MEPs backed the censure motion – the first such vote against a member state under EU rules – and it now has to go to national leaders with the likelihood of a split between conservatives and nationalists on whether to pursue punitive measures.

Hungary joined the EU on 1 May 2004 which chart has a hostile Mars opposition Pluto; as well as a beneficial Sun trine Jupiter, sextile Saturn; plus an opportunistic Jupiter opposition Uranus. So benefits from EU funding but resentment about interference in internal affairs.

The EU/Hungary relationship chart has tr Pluto square the composite Uranus in 2018/2019 so there were always going to be ructions, though nothing terminal, at least for a few years ahead.

Orban’s 3^rd Term chart, 10 May 2018 12pm has a lucky, talented, super-ambitious and controlling Half Grand sextile of Sun opposition Jupiter, sextile/trine Pluto and Neptune. But it also has an explosive (Pluto) Mars square Uranus Mercury which will create rolling crises.

The Hungary, 23 October 1989 12pm Budapest chart, is downbeat and edgy at the moment with tr Saturn conjunct Uranus, Saturn, Ascendant and Neptune and opposition Jupiter, all before the end of this year. And is also being jangled this year into early 2019 by tr Uranus opposition the Scorpio Sun. Exactly now tr Pluto is square the 9^th house Mercury for nervous irritation over criticism and sharp responses. Tr Neptune is also in an undermining square to the financial Venus in 2018/2019.

Then in 2019/2020 tr Pluto squares the Hungary Mars for a deeply frustrating and enraging phase. Being 9^th house it is likely to be centred on legal matters and relations with neighbouring countries. By 2020 tr Uranus moves into the 4^th, opposing the midheaven and starting six years of domestic unrest.

They are facing a tough few years ahead.
