Interesting point about difficulties showing up on a chart. For example FTSE 250 heading downhill fast is all ‘the fault’ of Brexit. It would still have had lousy influences if Remain had won.
It’s a question to which there is no easy answer. Recently I did a personal chart which showed heavy tr Pluto to Mars and Sun and the person was in the middle of a murderous argument with obdurate, unpleasant and corrupt others. The individual wanted to walk away which was common sense, but as I explained those transits run on until late 2017, so the energy has to go somewhere. The likelihood is that one set of hateful circumstances will just get replaced by another, unless the individual can utilise the influences in a more constructive way – admittedly not easy with Pluto Mars Sun.
So in the case of FTSE250 the triggering mechanism, which is Brexit, is irrelevant, or is at least just one catalyst amongst other possibilities which might now not happen since Brexit has soaked up the energy.
Watching world events with an astrological perspective, it strikes me repeatedly that when there are truly difficult aspects, accident and disaster prone, you will get two or three headline examples across the globe. But there aren’t mass deaths every ten yards or even in every country. It is almost as if the fates/influences demand their price and once that is paid, they subside. That’s a mystical way of putting it. It will clearly depend on a complexity of things, such as individual and country charts being keyed into specific influences where others are not. But it is odd.
In the Tarot, the Hanged Man or the scapegoat is the one who willingly sacrifices himself to carry away the sins of the collective. There may be an element of this archetype in play.
The UK volunteered, or was manoeuvred by a variety factors – lying politicians on all sides, ditto a dodgy media, a disheartened population – into picking up the baton of this moment in the zeitgeist and running with it. The Hanged Man is based on the Norse god Odin, who hanged himself upside down by his foot over the Well of Life for eight days and nights until enlightenment struck – pain, paralysis and then an epiphany. Roll on nirvana.
Funny, I got the hanged man in a reading about Cameron’s future before we knew the result of the referendum.
Good point Floaty.
The EU, like me (also born in 1973) is experiencing its Saturn Opposition.
As far as I can see, one of the positive aspects of Brexit is that the TTIP agreement, which seemed to be between the US and the EU, may be under threat, or at least Britain would be out of it. Little is mentioned about this so-called agreement, but the implications of it would be huge as corporations would be able to sue governments – and no doubt they would. Could you comment on the omens around the TTIP, please?
I do enjoy reading your astrology postings, especially those pertaining to politicians, governments and such like. Thanks
