Saturn is now buffeting the EU’s eternal optimism, just into the EU 4th house, hinting at domestic tensions erupting over the next three years – Spain, Poland, UK at the moment – with no doubt more to come. Saturn will conjunct the Sun late in December 2018. Uranus is also poised to move into the 8th house of business and international finances from spring 2018 and staying for 7 years – an unstable period economically, with highs and lows.
There’ll be a disaster or two this January but all handled with high confidence. Where the major shifts get under way is from July onwards as tr Uranus trines the 12th house Pluto, which may shine a light on a few murky secrets. That continues into 2019 which is when the real upheavals get under way. There’ll be financial worries of a high order as Solar Arc Pluto conjuncts the 2nd house Neptune, shafting a spear through a few delusionary dreams. At the same time tr Uranus starts a three year shake-up of the central Fixed Grand Cross in the chart, beginning with an opposition to the EU Neptune in 2019, before moving on to conjunct the 8th house EU Moon and square Uranus in 2020. By 2020 as well tr Neptune is square Saturn, causing a flurry of worries and major miscommunications (perhaps transport problems).
Those tremors are reflected on both the European Central Bank (ECB) chart 1 June 1998; and the Euro chart, 1 January 1999. There’ll be some upsets through next spring; but it is after mid year when nerves start to fray, worsening in 2019; and facing critical questions by 2020, with population unrest.
