Elections are upcoming in Malta on June 3rd with the incumbent Joseph Muscat, leading in the polls despite a series of corruption scandals which have hit his administration from Panama Papers. The opposition leader is Simon Busuttil, a less charismatic figure, but portraying himself as the honesty candidate.
The Malta chart, 21 September 1964 12am, is generally upbeat with Solar Arc Jupiter across its Ascendant; though seems less than enthusiastic about this election. (Is there any country where the people actually like the candidates?) Tr Saturn is just over the square to the Virgo Sun, returning later in the year; and there is a lack-lustre tr Neptune opposes the Malta Pluto in 2017/18, moving to conjunct the Moon by 2019, so generally dissatisfied. Plus an argumentative, emotionally volatile Solar Arc Uranus square Mars around now, which could lead to unwelcome surprises; with more in 2018.
There’s not much showing on either major candidate’s chart. Joseph Muscat, 22 Jan 1974, has tr Saturn opposition his Solar Arc Mars in June which looks like a setback; with tr Neptune square his Sun/Uranus; and is generally in an unsettled mid-life-crisis year. His Term chart, 11 March 2013 11.30am Valetta has Sun, Moon and four other planets in Pisces, so very Neptunian; with a yod of Saturn sextile Pluto inconjunct Jupiter so has a tendency to let grandiosity get the better of it. That chart has tr Neptune square the Solar Arc Jupiter, before and after the election, so enthusiasm ebbing away.
Simon Busuttil, 20 March 1969, looks stuck running into the election with tr Saturn square his Sun/Pluto, and tr Saturn runs backwards and forwards squaring his Pluto and then Pisces Sun all year. He also has an emotional upset in the days just before; and a steadying tr Saturn trine his Saturn. But nothing too ecstatic.
