Jacob Rees Mogg is spearheading the Brexiteer attack on Theresa May’s plan as the wrangling goes on in Cabinet. He’s an MP on the far-right of the Tory Party with an Eton, Oxford University and hedge fund background (he and wife deemed worth £100 million in 2016). A Roman Catholic he’s against abortion even in cases of rape, incest and foetal abnormality. He has said it could take a very long time to reap Brexit benefits, over the next fifty years.
Born 24 May 1969, he has a Gemini Sun opposition Neptune in late Scorpio and Mars in Sagittarius – communicative, scattered, idealistic but not always realistic, impulsive. His Sun opposition Neptune perhaps forming a T Square onto a late Leo/Virgo Moon. Plus a powerhouse Pluto, Jupiter, Uranus in Virgo.
He looks energised at the moment with tr Uranus square his Sun/Jupiter midpoint till early this December and again in February 2019. December/January 2019 look nerve-stretched and confused. He’ll continue jangled and jittered through late March to mid April 2019 and in full catastrophe-mode in the second half of April. The rest of the year will jolt between confidence in June and high insecurity thereafter. With a car-crash Secondary Progressed Mars opposition his Sun in about 18 months from now.
He will get into top gear will be from February 2020 onwards for two or three years with tr Pluto trine his Jupiter/Pluto midpoint and then trine his Jupiter in 2021/22.
Boris Johnson looks very deflated over late this December, hugely frustrated mid January to mid February 2019, facing failure in February and March, but picking up again in April/May; then sagging badly in the second half of the year.
No thanks, his views on abortion are punitive and he is not in parliament to represent the Catholic church, he is there to represent the people of the UK.
Any thoughts on Michael Gove Marjorie? Apparently he’ll take the Brexit Secretary role IF he can try to renegotiate. Cometh the hour cometh the man?
A few acid words from Rafael Behr in the Guardian.
‘The Brexit wreckers are slinking away from the rancid mess they’ve made.’
‘These resignations confirm a fundamental structural problem with the whole leave prospectus: it was a fantasy, and as such incompatible with the mundane fulfilment of ministerial responsibility. Raab has come to the same conclusion that David Davis and Boris Johnson reached earlier in the year: it is easier to be on the team that accuses the prime minister of failing to deliver majestic herds of unicorns than it is to be stuck with a portfolio that requires expertise in unicorn-breeding.’

Just followed him on Twitter.
For Theresa May see September 18 2018 post and further 18 October 2018 – hair-tearing and hysteria will continue. She always did look on the ultimate banana skin and it’ll keep sliding.
Oh Boy! All MPs playing politics – everything is crazy at the moment. Marjorie please give us guidance
Going on holiday – the GBP has tanked
Rees may not turn out to be as bad as people think. He’s highly intelligent, admirably polite and scrupulously fair. He has been voted one of the UK’s best employers, paying well above the average wage – and treats his people very well. They are fiercely loyal to him. Unlike most of our politicians, from what I hear, he thinks things through, gathers his information and allies, makes his plans – and waits for exactly the right moment to make his move. He realises his views are antiquated, but is better than most when it comes to taking on board views which oppose his own. I don’t believe he’s simply lusting for power and trying to make a grab – more that he may be aiming for a caretaker role, until things calm down. He could be just the man for this. As I understand it, he is a close friend of Price Charles – and they share a sense of noblesse oblige. Give Rees and chance? (BTW – I am not, by any stretch, a Tory. I met Corbyn (briefly) on a number of occasions, and was struck by his honesty and humilty. I like him very much as a person but am not so sure about his ability to lead). I had dealings with May a couple of times many years ago and my sense was that she was acting purely in the interests of big business and would throw the electorate under a bus if it furthered the aims of the Global Elite. Just my two cents worth.
*If I were to guess an Ascendant, my money would be on Virgo.
He used to be our M P believe me he is not suitable to represent everyone. He has extreme views and is very divisive. He would be dreadful.
Totally unelectable in terms of his views, his attitudes and lifestyle – if they made a fuss of Cameron’s Etonian roots then what will the general populace make of him. Also friends who were at school with him said that he was distinctly odd at the age of 13!
Not even midday in Westminister, and two Cabinet Ministers, including main negociator Dominic Raab are gone. Absolutely disastrous day for Theresa May.
Resignations were always going to happen – MPs love grandstanding and disloyalty! Rather than berate Mrs May for the deal why couldn’t anybody else come up with any coherent suggestions?? Enough said it’s an astrology website but a political one….however I wouldn’t be surprised if in retrospect 5-10 years hence Mrs May is remembered fondly and respectfully as Teflon Theresa and as a good PM in truly unmentionable circumstances
I agree on her showing enormous grit here, and hope she will be rewarded. It doesn’t mean dealing with irresponsable people who are in denial on condequences of their actions isn’t incredibly trying for heavily Libra/Virgo influenced people such as Theresa May. I know, being another October 1st Libran who just confronted a No Deal Brexit in a human form.
I can sympathise With the heavy astrological weather am very Virgo/Leo – life is ‘entertaining’ sigh smile…
Theresa May was born with 3 planets at the anaretic degree of the signs they occupy. Saturn at 29 Scorpio, Pluto at 29 Leo and Neptune at 29 Libra. That is quite unusual in a chart even when the slower moving planets are involved. Pluto in Leo is conjunct Regulus the royal star which probably means she was destined to be Prime Minister. Saturn is square Pluto which indicates stubborness as well as great resilience and ruthless determination. The 29 Libra degree is associated with divorces and Neptune there suggests it would be confusing and messy with not a little deception both of self and by others. There is a sense of loneliness and karma about the anaretic degree which fits her current situation. Her chart looks immensely challenging but it is certainly not weak and she is not a quitter like Cameron.
I think History will be much kinder to May than to Cameron. As you say, ‘Brave’ Sir David ran away to hide in his designer Shepherd’s Hut. Not a good look.
Brexit Deal passed in The Cabinet (as I guessed), and it seems it’s up to Rees-Mogg to lead the charge on Theresa May tomorrow. While I think he might be successful in non-confidence vote against May, something tells me he won’t be as successful afterwards. Maybe there’s a Brexiter backbencher who will lead once he has been neutralized in politics by a market dive to come (he still has private fortune I’m fairly certain he has diverted).
I don’t warm to him at all, not least due to his anti-abortion beliefs – even in the case of rape. With his gaunt, sinewy, old-fashioned look, I can’t help thinking of Saturn conjunct ascendant or Capricorn rising. If Capricorn rising, Pluto would be hovering about and if Taurus rising, Uranus.
Either way, there’s something of the folk meme ‘Slender Man’ about him.
