Enda Kenny – a determined Taurus under pressure

ek  ek pm

 

Enda Kenny, the Taoiseach or Prime Minister of Ireland is under pressure to resign as party leader because of his handling (or lack of it) of the treatment of a whistleblower into malpractices in the police force. The scandal has already led to the resignation of the Police Commissioner in 2014 and the Justice Minister.

Kenny, 24 April 1951, is a tough-minded, stubborn Sun Mercury Mars in Taurus; with Mars square Pluto, so he’ll not be budged quickly. He does look devastated with tr Pluto square his Mars/Saturn midpoint which is a catastrophic setback this month; plus a jolting Solar Arc Sun conjunct his Uranus this year. But he’s also got decidedly bullish transits as well of tr Pluto trine Jupiter/Uranus and later square Sun/Jupiter so he won’t be completely down and out. He’s also got a very confident tr Pluto square his Mars/Jupiter in 2018/19 so he’ll be roaring back to form.

His term chart, 6 May 2016 2.22pm Dublin, always did look crisis-prone with a 7th house Neptune opposition Jupiter square Mars Saturn in the 4th – so major domestic aggravations with evasiveness and over-confidence compounding the situation. But it also has a lucky and solid Earth Grand Trine of a 5th house Pluto trine a Taurus New Moon trine Jupiter so nothing is certain.

His two putative successors Leo Varardkar and Simon Coveney don’t have anything showing (without birth times) which look upbeat.
