Astrology of Liz Truss’ resignation

 

 

A common error that astrology practitioners make when analyzing events is giving too much importance to (a) a slow moving transit or even (b) the event chart. 

This should be easy to understand with an example. According to reports Liz Truss resigned at 1:34 pm BST on 20.10.22. Here is the chart for the resignation. The MC is just about 3 degrees away from triggering the Saturn-Uranus-Node T-square so the event chart is certainly meaningful. Among other things, a Saturn-Uranus activation does mean a sudden removal of a leader. But the same chart would apply to the previous day or the next day within +/- 4 minutes. So shouldn’t we treat the event chart as the minute or second hand of the cosmic clock? Where then is the hour hand? Some astrologers have referred to transit Uranus [17ta42] conjunct Truss’ Mars [17ta29] as the primary indicator for her resignation. That again is certainly not correct since Uranus has been retrograding very slowly over her Mars for quite some time. What is so special about today? 

Well one could say that we are just about 3 days away from the Saturn station (Oct. 23) and since Saturn is square transit Uranus and her radix Mars, its change of direction is an important activation. That argument would be somewhat acceptable but still not the answer unless we add the chart for Truss’ appointment as PM where the Saturn-Uranus-Node T-square aligns with the horizon. Now the Saturn station is like a quake that destabilizes the configuration.

 

It appears to me that we have forgotten the importance of the cardinal ingress charts. The answer for Truss’ resignation lies in the Libra ingress chart - which rules the current quarter. Take a look at the chart for the Sun’s entry into Libra at London. The Uranus leg of the T-square is in 10^th house of leaders or government. About an afflicted Uranus in the 10^th , H.S. Green in his book Mundane or National Astrology writes: 

Uranus in the 10^th house 

If afflicted there may be sudden troubles for the Monarch or Government, unpopularity and discontent among the people, the rulers and the ruled at variance. There may be changes in the Government or, if the affliction is serious, some defeat, a General Election, loss of a bye-election.

 

Now let us progress the Libra Ingress chart to October 20^th, the date of Truss’ resignation and what do we get. The progressed MC aligns with Uranus within just about a degree thereby triggering the T-square.
