Hardliner Jean Claude Juncker has given his state of the union address to the EU, saying it faces an existential threat and battle for survival against nationalism and populism; and aiming a few spears at the UK along the way.
[Juncker is the most powerful office holder in the EU as President of the European Commission, till 2019, similar to a Prime Minister but not making foreign policy or tax decisions. Donald Tusk is President of the European Council, until May 2017 if not extended, which is similar to a head of state. There are also three other EU Presidents for the Eurogroup, EU Parliament and ECB.]His next eighteen months looks like a mix of bullish confidence, bitter arguments, high insecurity, rising tension and a fair few banana skins. Insiders say he is increasingly unpopular within the EU because of his dictatorial attitude and he is even marginalised in his own Commission since he prefers to work from Luxembourg and seems to be in frail health, which may or may not be alcohol related.
His Term chart, 1 Nov 2014 12am has more than a wobble coming with Solar Arc Pluto square Uranus, exact in 3 months time. It has an aggressive Pluto Mars in Capricorn in the grandstanding 5th house square Uranus opposition Mercury – so it was always going to be a crises-ridden term.
His relationship chart with the EU looks excessively fraught and bad-tempered from March 2017 onwards for two years with tr Pluto conjunct the composite Mars and a disappointing tr Neptune opposition Jupiter from April onwards; plus a separating tr Saturn conjunct the composite Sun. So he may not make his full term.
He has bad chemistry with almost all the main players. His connections with Angela Merkel, in place as German Chancellor till at least autumn 2017, will wobble precipitously from mid 2017. He and Donald Tusk, President of the European Council, are an ongoing power struggle with a composite Sun Mercury opposition Jupiter Pluto square Saturn; and an un-mutually supportive Mars opposition Neptune in an explosive square to Uranus. Tusk may have his term extended beyond May 2017, in which case watch out for ructions from June 2017 onwards. With Theresa May, Juncker’s interface is no better with a game-playing-for-the-upper-hand composite Jupiter Pluto square Saturn and an argumentative composite Mercury trine Mars and square Uranus.
The EU’s real crunch point comes in three years by 2019 with Solar Arc MC conjunct Pluto and Solar Arc Pluto conjunct the 2nd house Neptune – a dead halt and financial meltdown.
One thing is for sure, Juncker won’t go easily, unless nature takes over and forces his hand.
Larry c … We’ve got prepper movements here too in UK. I’m 60 so apart from my usual well stocked pantry, I’ll take my chances.
Prepper movement? No, not the survivalists again…!
Lots of chatter now about financial meltdowns 2018/19 ( uranus into Taurus) and Saturn Pluto conjunction? USA been preparing for currency collapse, especially the dollar for a couple of years and the prepper movement growing. People are making money out of this fear mongering – books, strategies, food packages and there are people with very little money buying into the neptunian hype and spin.
Majorie, I’ve got a bad feeling ( intuitively) that we are in for some crash but is it this year? So many alt news videos out there – some of them crazy and paranoid but others.. well a bit closer to reality I think. We are debt laden with no head room for the banks to do much. Even after 2008 there are many people who are still building personal debt and I fear for them. My Pisces moon could weep for the state of the world. 🙁
