Marine Le Pen, the far-right Front National party leader is the can’t-possibly-win-can-she ? candidate who looks set to get through the first round of next year’s Presidential Election, most likely to face the winner of the Republican Primary. She has cleaned up the party’s act in recent years, moving away from the old anti-semitic, neo-Nazi rantings of her now estranged father. Though she appears unable to remove him as Honorary President.
Born 5 Aug 1968 12.20 am Neuilly sur Seine, France she is a Sun Mercury in Leo with an ambitious 10th house Mars so certainly a go-getter. But what marks her chart out as singular is a very tough, strained Yod, the toughest, of Uranus Pluto sextile Neptune inconjunct Saturn in Aries. Saturn also sits as a singleton, the only planet in her relationship hemisphere, which channels the energy of the rest of her chart. Saturn in Aries is self-reliant, tends to be unsympathetic, dismissive of the needs of other, hard. It will have given her a sense that she has a special mission in life which sets her apart from the common crowd. She’s certainly not a fitter-in. But this Yod demands real maturity to make it work. A fated change can bring a turning point which will test the individual to the limit and can set them on a path of social responsibility; or it can bring self-defeating actions which end in failure.
She’s looking upbeat and confident at the moment and in the early stages of 2017 with tr Pluto trine her Jupiter/Pluto and then her Jupiter/Uranus. And she has a bouncy tr Jupiter through her 1st house over the next year. It might be too much to suggest this coming election will be make or break for her. But she certainly will be experiencing tremendous turbulence around that time. Tr Uranus will conjunct her Yod focal point Saturn exactly at the time of the second round in May 2017. That will really test her mettle to see if she can rise to the challenge of the Yod or end up in failure. Tr Pluto will be opposition her MC then which will certainly shake the ground under her feet. Plus she has a couple of mild but useful Uranus transits to Jupiter midpoints.
Le Pen as President of France would give Angela Merkel nightmares. Le Pen’s afflicted Saturn is opposition AM’s 10th house Neptune and square her Sun Uranus; and Le Pen’s Mars in Cancer is conjunct AM’s Sun Uranus and square AM’s Neptune; and Le Pen’s Uranus Pluto squares AM’s Mars. It would be a brutal fight for the soul of Europe.
