A possible free trade agreement amongst Commonwealth countries raised excitement at the recent London meeting. The Commonwealth is a loose organisation mainly of former British colonies and covers 20% of the world’s land area on all six inhabited continents, housing nearly a third of the world population. Brexit has opened up new possibilities and given momentum to the idea of using the Commonwealth as an economic instrument.
It came into being on 28th April 1949 which was on the day of a New Moon in Taurus conjunct Venus square Pluto on one side and square Jupiter in Aquarius on the other. So it fitted the Queen’s chart well and she’s been titular head and a driving force for many years. She’s a Taurus Sun with Jupiter also in tolerant, multi-cultural Aquarius.
There will certainly be changes aplenty as tr Uranus moves into Taurus crossing the Sun (Moon) and Venus in 2020/2021. Though it won’t all be straightforward with a step backwards in 2020 as well.
The Queen more or less shoehorned them into accepting Charles as head when she retires or passes on. The Commonwealth leaders acquiesced out of respect for her but he wasn’t too popular a choice. Charles’ Taurus Moon will be a help but his relationship chart with the Commonwealth has an awkward, argumentative composite Sun Mars opposition Pluto Mercury which spells trouble.
Theresa May attempted to persuade the leaders to look at decriminalizing homosexuality without much success. Of the 53 member countries, 37 ban same-sex behaviour to one degree or another.
