MPs
have rejected Theresa May’s EU withdrawal agreement on the day the UK was due
to leave the EU. The government lost by 344 votes to 286, a margin of 58, and
means the UK has missed an EU deadline to delay Brexit to 22 May and leave with
a deal. Mrs
May now has until 12 April to seek a longer extension to the negotiation
process to avoid a no-deal Brexit on that date.

In his second book, The
Changing Sky, Steven Forrest presented a model for sorting through the many
possible planetary configurations that present themselves in a transits and
progressions reading. This system, termed "The Four Nets," is applied
to the jungle of astrological symbolism, each net catching creatures in
descending orders of size. In the First Net, we see all the astrological
biggies—major transits and directions to
and from the Sun, Moon and Ascendant for
example. By the time we get to the Third or Fourth Nets, we are looking at
events we might safely ignore —unless the earlier Nets have come up empty. This
is a strategic, orderly, and effective method for organizing one’s approach to
a transits/progressions analysis.
Applying Steven’s method to the UK chart, we come up with a
very significant progression to the natal Ascendant.
SOLAR ARC PLUTO conjunct
ASCENDANT
This is such a biggie that we need to thoroughly understand
what it means. This is a season of unmasking and presenting your true self to
the world. And since Pluto is also opposite the descendant, one is likely to
end relationships that have not been working. Pluto in astrology acts as a
force for creative destruction. Under Pluto people and other entities are tested for flaws in character. If the flaws
are deep, they will fall (Theresa May ?). Fate will be the judge of any weakness here. There
will be no mercy for bad decisions.
Notice that the UK Ascendant [7li] is conjunct Uranus [1li] which is opposite the
TNP Vulcanus [1ar]. Martha Wescott’s keyphrase for Uranus-Vulcanus is “gale
force winds of change”. Recall that the Equinox Full Moon fell exactly on this
axis with the Sun [1ar] conjunct Chiron [1ar]. What might it mean when placed on the
Aries-Libra axis.
The Aries-Libra axis
is about balancing your needs with those of others. Chiron in Aries is where
you feel you don’t have the right to be yourself. Chiron is where we feel
wounded, ashamed, broken and inadequate. Chiron will challenge Aries’
expression of the self, expression of individuality. Chiron in Aries is about
the greatest wounds of all – the wound of identity. The wound of identity is
when we feel we don’t have the right to exist. This is the most painful wounds
of all because it is the most difficult to grasp. As we grow up, if our
self-expression is encouraged, we slowly develop our unique identity. But the
process is not always smooth. Our parents may – rightly so – see us as an
extension of themselves, and may have difficulties in acknowledging that we are
a different human being.
Here the parent of course is symbolically the EU while the
child is the UK. The “gale force winds of change” are likely to force the “child”
(UK) out of the parental (EU) nest.
The news item states:
Mrs
May now has until 12 April to seek a longer extension to the negotiation
process to avoid a no-deal Brexit on that date.
The First Quarter Moon falls exactly on April 12. The Moon in CANCER squares Sun in ARIES. Symbolically this represents a dilemma
connected with family. An Aries-Cancer square represents self-will (Aries) in
conflict with parental (Cancer) expectations. The wilfullness of Aries may be
captured and held in limbo by fears or security issues. A person may not to be
ready for grown up challenges and may find himself forced to grow up and take
initiatives with which he is not entirely comfortable or yet mature enough to
deal with.
A chart for the Moon phase at London is shown here. No
astrological chart ever shows what will happen because human free will is a
factor to be considered. However it does depict very graphically the nature of
the problem faced and probable outcomes.
The First Quarter Moon chart at London has the Sun-Moon –Nodes forming a T that straddles the horizon
axis. This is what is called a Moon Wobble.
Under Moon Wobble, accidents ( Theresa May's resignation or default Brexit?) are
frequent and so is an eruption of
unconscious energies [1].
But in addition the Moon Wobble T-square has
Saturn-Pluto-Uranus in mundane square.
Martha Wescott delineates this energy as below:
To see unexpected
developments in a long-term problematic situation ; to have stress or tension
create an uncompromising situation that forces a disruption or break ( or some
form of Emancipation Proclamation).
The table below gives planets, TNP and asteroids of the
First Quarter Moon chart arranged in a 90 degree sort.

Pandora-Persephone:
People can unexpectedly find themselves in an unfamiliar circumstance and
although they may have little experience they have to handle it probably
without a support system.
Eurydike-Siwa-Pluto:
People may have been depending on others and some of that dependency isn’t
healthy. The destructive aspect of Siwa may destroy such dependency.
Saturn-Node: group
co-operation is increasingly difficult.
Eris: Upsets and
discord.
It appears that Uranus on the descendant as the apex of the
T-square holds the key. Uranus forces a break from the conformity to the past .
It supports freedom and the expression
of our uniqueness and originality challenging us to create new frontiers in
experience and consciousness. It is the true pioneer, uninhibited by convention
and establishment . However, Uranus in
its chronic expression can manifest as fear to change, to be spontaneous, or to
take radical steps. But here the Sabian
symbol for Uranus seems to suggest that a break from the past is more likely:
PHASE 32 (TAURUS 2°):
AN ELECTRICAL STORM.
KEYNOTE: The cosmic
power able to transform all the implications of natural existence.
At this second stage
of the five-fold sequence we see a picture which contrasts with the one for the
first stage: thus, a celestial display of power versus a clear, lovely-sounding
little stream. Back of every natural self-expression stands the tremendous
power of the "Soul-field," itself but one of the myriad aspects of
the Creative Word that is the origin of this universe. At certain times, this power compels the natural
earth-conditioned personality to accept, perhaps in awe, the spiritual
potentialities of its "higher" celestial destiny ( and for UK that
means leave the EU?) . This experience of power can both illumine and
shatter.
News just coming in (30 March 1.00 pm GMT)
Conservative
Brexiteers are lobbying Theresa May to pursue a no-deal exit after her deal was
rejected for the third time. Party chairman Brandon Lewis confirmed reports
that 170 Tory MPs, believed to include several ministers, have written to the
prime minister urging her to ensure the UK leaves the EU on April 12 no matter
what.
