The Astrology of the EU Leave - June 23, 2016

6/26/2016

0 Comments

 
Watch this space....I am working on a chart for the time that the referendum for the Leave/Stay EU campaign began in Britain and will post my findings soon.

In the meantime, one astrologer who posted on February 22 predicted then that Britain would leave the EU on June 23. He had run two charts for Britain - one was the 1066 chart and one the 1801 chart and predicted this day as the biggest push for independence in years if not ever in the history of the nation.  (Good catch!) Because of this, I think there has to be tremendous ramifications for the future.....

 
Also, astrologically, England is an Aries nation and fiercely independent with strong Capricorn undertones. Had the EU been a relationship of compromise it could have worked but the English just wont tolerate being told what to do for long.

I also felt that, since Mars is in an unusually long retrograde (April 18 - June 29), and is the ruler of England, things would not go according to plan. This is usually the case with Mars Retrograde. Mars was nearly stationary on June 23 which to me was a strong indication that there would be an unexpected turn of events. I believe even if the vote had been to stay, it would have been a turning point. I don't think the EU would have continued as it is - and I still don't. Also, the planet Uranus is in England's sign of Aries and according to the charts I have seen, it seems to be currently right on the nation's Ascendant, indicating more shocks and also a new beginning for England. 

More later....

Mars Retrograde

6/11/2016

We have been experiencing Mars Retrograde since April 17 and it is finally coming to an end this month on June 29 at 7:38 p.m. EDT at 23 degrees Scorpio.  Mars retrograde takes place every two years so it is fairly rare and, even though it has almost come to an end, it's a good time to look back over the past couple of months and see what we may have learned from this. If nothing - it's not too late!

This particular Mars retrograde period is even more significant than usual because it is very long in duration. Although this period is ten weeks in length, Mars is actually moving through the area of Sagittarius and Scorpio where it is now for six months. This brings a lot of the "Martian energy" into focus which can be a good thing, even when the planet is retrograde (quite a few athletes have Mars retrograde in their birth charts. I do myself actually and though I am definitely not an athlete, I have accomplished quite a lot. I say this because there is some thought that during Mars retrograde periods we just can't accomplish anything - it is one step forward and two back.  This is why we need to understand these important periods).

Although some planetary configurations and astrological periods are difficult, and are known to be negative; as you will see from my books and my own experience with astrology for over forty years, I believe that everything is potentially good. Even the hardest periods can bring us the most useful lessons.  And I also believe that this is what life is all about - learning, growing and evolving into more aware and enlightened human beings.

The planet Mars rules our self- assertion and is the energy that gets us moving towards our goals. When Mars is retrograde instead of just surging ahead in what is called "direct motion", we tend to question our style of assertion and examine why we seem to get into conflict with other people. Its a good time to reflect on the past (similar here to Mercury retrograde but more about how we assert and achieve rather than how we communicate). Perhaps we haven't achieved as much as we would have liked; either by asserting ourselves with others in an unpleasant way or by getting distracted from our goals; by taking on too much and ending up dealing with "the small stuff". Now, until the end of June, we can examine this and see if we can improve how we "come across."  Also improve our physical vitality and energy levels by assessing our diet and exercise regime, etc.

We should remember that this period is affecting everyone in the world - not just you and me. Some people, of course, won't learn from it and could have a very difficult, frustrating time during this period. Others, more aware, will have begun to wonder why things are going ahead as smoothly as they would have liked. Others may already be sensitive and intuitive enough to have felt the shift of energy and have already been working with it in positive ways - trying a different approach - and succeeding.

It's a good time for self-analysis and to be as honest and authentic as possible, however painful that may be:) The retrograde periods generally present good times for us to be impartial observers of ourselves and there are several slow-moving retrograde planets right now - Saturn and Pluto with Neptune going retrograde next week.

It's not a great time to begin new things but to ponder how we can achieve our goals and assert ourselves differently once the retrograde period is over at the end of this month. We shouldn't avoid taking action, just as we shouldn't avoid communications during Mercury retrograde, but become more conscious of how and why we're taking action.

Mars retrograde is encouraging us to live simply, free from the confines of guilt, fear, competition and ego. It is encouraging us to have joy in the fact that we do have the energy to get up in the mornings and to accomplish what we need to do, and what we aspire to do. It is a time to be grateful for the wonderful influence of the fiery planet Mars - the builder, the achiever, the energizer.
