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.
I should also clarify that The EU isn’t livid with The Polish Government for any specific political issue, for instance their handling of banking or refugee crisis. They are opposing current Government’s judical reform plan that would tamper with Separation of powers that’s truly the core of EU’s Legislative functions. Therefore, this is not about “EU” being “bully” or “undemocratic” – quite the contrary.
And, as for Catalans, they do still seem to trust EU over Government in Madrid. Puigdemont fled to Bruxelles once he had an arrest warrant pending in Spain, and they know collaborating with EU – not Putin, who is trying to weaponize this situation against EU – is their best chance to achieve if not Independence, amendments to Autonomic Status. BTW, as a country of just 10 million inhabitants (and less, if the people highly with a service based economy), they’d be far worse economically outside EU than The UK, which has a significant internal market. This weights in their decisions, too.
Since Catalans are still mostly pro-EU – they really, really can’t affort that boarder with France to close, too – and Brexit will happen, Poland is the biggest unsolved story here. It has gone gone largely unnoticed by the English speaking media, maybe because Continental Law is well over heads of most reporters whose training is based to Common Law, but Twitter feed by EU politicians indicates they see Polish turmoil as the biggest threat to EU, right now.
Therefore, I wonder about The Polish Chart. Poland November 14th 1918 has a Mars conjunct Ascendant 1-2 degrees Capricorn, so I expect something to happen right about now. Their Uranus, Pluto and Jupiter are involved too, as with all 1917-18 country charts for the region. And as you’d expect from Poles, the current government isn’t exactly pro-Putin either, and they’ve been working on new Territorial Defence plan.
Why do you use Nov 14 1918 for the Poland chart, most sources say Nov 11?
