Keir Starmer resigned this morning, starting his speech at 9.33am which gives an 11 degree Taurus Midheaven exactly conjunct the UK’s 8th house Mars; and an Ascendant of 23 Leo conjunct the UK’s 11th house ( = the legislature) Saturn. Time will tell exactly what transpires but that looks to be shaking the UK at a deep level – with financial implications since the bond markets will not take kindly to a spending splurge on welfare and privatisation adding to the already massive debt pile.
The astrology was classic with tr Pluto exactly square his Leadership Uranus – 4 April 2020 10.45 am – which is de-stabilising and has anyway been under massive pressure since Pluto moved into Aquarius.
His own personal chart has tr Pluto conjunct his Saturn which is on the focal point of a yod inconjunct Mars sextile Sun Pluto – so force majeure he was always going to be shifted (under great pressure) onto a different trajectory.
Tr Uranus will square his Jupiter and Sun Pluto in Virgo in 2027 which should produce a lucky break or two and more change.
With no challenges to his leadership bid Burnham will step into his shoes relatively quickly. Of which more anon.
