UK politics – clearing old baggage but no clear signs ahead EU-wise

The squabbling Brexiteers in the Cabinet are about the only sign of movement in the great unknown of the decoupling from the EU that lies ahead. PM Theresa May, from all accounts, will micro-manage the process but there’s no hint of the hows and whens. And apart from the odd fly-swat seems content to allow Liam Fox (Secy for International Trade) to shoot his mouth off, irritating Boris Johnson and the FO, and insulting business leaders.

Fox is in for a considerable shock in 2017 with a whole raft of insecure, explosive, panicky influences bringing major setbacks and muddle. He has his Solar Arc Uranus conjunct his Mars and square Saturn in 2017 – which is a major major jolt, high levels of tension, even an accident. Plus tr Uranus opposition his Mars, square his Saturn and opposition his Mercury from March onwards; and from March 2017 also till late 2018 he has tr Pluto square his Sun/Neptune which is confusion, scandals, low energy, suffering. He could even be moved from that job come next May or thereabouts as tr Uranus squares his Jupiter/Saturn.

Though having said that, Theresa May’s most problematic relationship is still with Boris Johnson (see previous post).

She’s managing quite ruthlessly to machete her way through David Cameron’s policies, and having junked George Osborne with maximum humiliation, will now no doubt be heartened by Cameron’s exit from Westminster. She disliked both of them – her relationship with Osborne has a Mars Saturn conjunction and with Cameron a Mars Pluto square – so major, though clearly hidden hostility.

Her Government chart, 13 July 2016 5.44pm London, hints at worries and uncertainty from 23^rd Sept to 6th Oct this year as tr Saturn returns to square Neptune exactly. But the major hiccups start late January through Feb 2017 when tr Uranus squares the Sun; with another jolt from April onwards as tr Uranus returns to its natal position. But for all that she looks to be powering ahead confidently with tr Pluto trine Jupiter from Feb 2017 to late 2018.

The Daily Mail is floating the idea that David Cameron may go west to New York to allow his wife Samantha to launch a fashion business. New York would suit him as a home since it puts his Sun in the 4^th there, expansive Jupiter Moon in Leo on the Ascendant and Mars in flamboyant Leo in the money-making 2^nd house. He’s got the final, heavily pressured and needs-to-transform tr Pluto square his Libra Sun through this autumn. Then tr Saturn will head in 2017 across his IC which does suggest a move of domestic base into a new phase of his life.

It won’t be a spectacular new start since he has tr Saturn square his Uranus Pluto opposition Saturn through 2017 which could be discouraging. His relationship with Samantha, was always very work-oriented with a composite Sun square Saturn; and indeed Saturn on the focal point of a composite Yod – with both the composite Sun and Saturn getting tr Uranus hard aspects from early 2017 onwards, so change definitely in the air. She’s a late Sun Aries square Mars Moon in Capricorn and all of those are being subject to upheaval through 2017/18.

Emily Thornberry, who bats for the opposing team, and is shadow Brexit minister, was born 27 July 1960 has Sun, Venus and Uranus spread through Leo, with a formidable Mars in Taurus square Uranus and square Pluto; with Mercury in Cancer opposition Saturn. So she has an edgy temper and her outburst after being asked on television about the name of French Foreign Minister, which she fluffed, did her no favours since she should have known.
