Boris
Johnson has been elected new Conservative leader in a ballot of party members
and will become the next UK prime minister. He beat Jeremy Hunt comfortably,
winning 92,153 votes to his rival's 46,656. The former London mayor takes over
from Theresa May on Wednesday. In his victory speech, Mr Johnson promised he
would "deliver Brexit, unite the country and defeat Jeremy Corbyn". July

The zeitgeist is a concept from 18th- to 19th-century German
philosophy, meaning "spirit of the age" or "spirit of the
times". It refers to an invisible agent or force dominating the
characteristics of a given epoch in world history.
A "zeitgeist theory of leadership" stresses that
leaders do not become leaders by fate or accident. Instead, these individuals,
like other things, are a product of the
"zeitgeist".
The horoscope of Boris Johnson (b. 19 June 1964) as provided
by Astro-Databank is reproduced here. His current Primary Direction (Van Dam)
has his progressed MC conjunct radix Uranus which is conjunct Pluto and
opposite Saturn.
In his book Cosmos and
Psyche, Richard Tarnas traces the Uranus/Pluto conjunctions and oppositions
to show how this cycle corresponded to
radical mass movements for freedom.
Uranus is The Great Awakener, the archetypal symbol for individual
freedom and creative ideas and Pluto is the symbol for power and mass upheavals.
The Uranus-Pluto conjunction
of the mid 1960s coincided with the volcanic eruption of revolutionary and emancipatory impulses, accelerated
historical change, social and political turmoil. Much like past axial
alignments in the Uranus-Pluto cycle, such as the French Revolutionary epoch of
1787–98, though in this most recent case with greater global extent and
intensity, the 1960–72 period brought an overwhelming and often violent collective
drive to make the world radically new.
Boris Johnson being a product of the “Uranus-Pluto
Zeitgeist” will be a party to the
mass upheaval that the Uranus-Pluto combination is famous for whether he likes
it or not. The Uranus-Pluto conjunction of the 1960s is now passing through
its First Quarter square phase.What began in the 1960s, roughly over the period
from 1962 to 1973, is returning, not as a repeat of what happened then, but as
the next phase of manifestation. Events and developments that occurred about 50 years ago were the seeds for what is
emerging assertively into concrete form in the 2010s.
His Wynn Key Return chart for today when he has been
chosen as the Prime Minister of UK has the Saturn-Pluto-South Node conjunction in
Capricorn on the MC. This combination
marks the ending of an era.
He will, therefore,
preside over an ending of all that no longer supports the evolutionary
requirements. It could be a creative destruction that opens the way for a new
beginning, but nevertheless it will feel
formidable. He may not do this consciously but his tenure will see the
dismantling of long held political ideas
and hierarchies.
PS: The solar eclipse of July 2 has for its Sabian symbol “A CLOWN”. An eclipse is effective for +/- 6 months from the date of its occurrence. So this was active during the Ukranian election in April when Volodymyr Zelensky, the TV comedian was elected as President and also now (falling on the MC of Boris Johnson’s chart) when another “clown” has been chosen as PM. Coincidence!
You are awesome Javed!
