Remain or Leave, UK referendum 2016 analysis

europe-1456246_960_720

This is a important referendum for people in UK and EU and the support of both campaigns are very very close at this moment , we know that since early June the leave campaign are leading in poll however the tragedy of Jo Cox slightly change things.

I read many of analysts from respectful astrologers Mark Cullen, Sharon Knight, Olga Morales, Faye Cossar  and many other astrologers and be very honestly I basically agree the leave have more chance to win and I also want to do one by myself but I am afraid of my personal feeling of support to remain in EU will distort my analyse.  It took me several days to think about this but I finally decide to write it down.

Here is my approach, I first studied UK 18010 chart wit Transit, Second progression, Solar Arc, Aries Ingress Cancer Ingress , Fixed stars and Solar Eclipse. Also study the  chart of 1973 when UK enter EEC with techniques above this will give me some ideas about will we have big change regarding the relationship between UK and EU.

I then studied chart of Treaty of Rome (25th Mar 1957  ) as EU natal chart and also consider maastricht treaty ( 1st Nov 1993 ) as another chart for EU to see if EU going to face something change. This will not suggest UK’s leave or stay however it will describe the change of EU after this vote.

Finally I studied David Cameron’s personal chart with Transit, Second progression, Solar Arc, Solar return, also have quick look Boris Johnson ’s chart to compare.       

  1. 1801 Chart

Support for remain in EU

ukeu1-1

Tr Mars tri Mo ( although Mars itself have a meaning of cut off and independent but it rule 7th represent other countries ) as it form a harmony trine I take it as a gentle negotiation (or black mail ) , not brutal cut off.

Tr Ju and Tr Pl both wide trine Ma , it give support to Mars but only have weak (large orbs) and subtle (Pluto and 12th) influence.

Secondary progression Mo and Sp Asc tri Ve

Solar Arc Ju tri Pl, Sa Ur set Pl (easy the difficult financial situation )

Solar Arc Mars trine Sun, suggest PM gain his power and build up good relationship with other countries with  harmony action.

Asc and Moon both on Fixed sign on Aries ingress chart , Moon in Leo in 7th form a trine with Saturn and Uranus suggest a harmony situation with other countries.

Fixed Stars paran at 23rd Jun 2016 at 7:00

Venus Rising when Regulus is On Nadir orb 00 mins 46 secs –

A creative person who receives honours, or a diplomat

Culminating when Arcturus is Rising orb 01 mins 49 secs –

A leader in the arts or in humanistic politics

Support for leave EU

Tr Pl op Mo ( M.C ruler , Government PM has been challenged , People feel anxious )

Tr Pl con So ( Sun as leader again has been challenged , if So as 11 house ruler it could  explant the Scotland referendum too)

Tr Ur tri Sa ( I.C ruler opposition and land a tendency toward to separation ) support by Tr So Tr Ve square 1801 Uranus. 

ukeu1-2

Sp So squ Ma , (  the ruler of 11 house against ruler of 7th house )

Sp Mc squ Ma ( public image of against other countries )

ukeu1-3

Sp Me opp Ve, Sp Ju opp Ve ( Venus rules 1st house has face challenge by 3rd and 6th house ruler Jupiter and 9th 12 ruler Mercury ) ( So ruler of 11 square Mars ruler of 7th  house )

Solar Arc So squ Ma

SA Ve squ Me ,Sa Me con Mo ( Mercury rulers 12 house conjunct Venus Mc ruler which is not a great idea and suggest a self destruction of PM)

SA Ju sq Chiron ( the uncomfortable feeling of historical wound of UK and Continental )

ukeu1-4

Mars on MC of Aries Ingress chart as Mars rule 2nd and 9th nothing to do with foreigner relationship and Mars has meaning of cut off here, maybe this explain the high volume of leave opinion in public however it trine the Sun ruler 7th. 

ukeu1-5

Cancer ingress chart have Asc rule Saturn opposite powerful 4th ruler aghast government usually we take 4th as opposition could this also suggest PM’s enemy ( Johnson and Gove)?  Saturn rule both Asc and 12th again another sign of self destruction of PM.

ukeu1-6

2016 March Solar Eclipse chart has Uranus right on angle this can not be ignore and Saturn on Asc also suggest the rejection , Mercury rule 7th square by Mars ruler IC ( sense of belonging ). 

Fixed Stars paran at 23rd Jun 2016 at 7:00

Alpheratz – Culminating at the Mid-heaven Dr.Brady describe Alpheratz as To see oneself as independent of one’s culture or society.

Setting when Zuben Elgenubi is Culminating ,Manipulating the social order for better or worse

Uranus – Rising when Alhena suggestProtest, parades, meetings and marches

Uranus – Culminating when Spica is On Nadir , The people want to be inspired by an idea, or an action

Pluto -Rising when Menkar is On Nadir, Dramatic events that rock the lives of a large number of people.

Conclusion of 1801 chart studies : 

There is no harmonic aspect in Secondary progression chart suggest the resentful feeling in the country, Solar Arc chart also suggest lots of conflict and discord , my hope is the Harmony aspect in Aries ingress chart toward to Sun ( rules 7th in Aries ingress chart ) suggest no huge conflict with other countries. Again I should be very careful about this as I am mainly support remain and maybe I weigh a bit more on the Aries ingress chart.    The transit (include Solar Eclipse and Ingress charts ) suggest environment and global situation build up tension and support leaving EU. The Fixed stars paran also give some idea of dramatic change. Although I support remind but it looks like PM and the remain campaign lead by him are not in favour.

2. 1973 UK enter EEC chart

I studied this chart as a relationship between UK and EU and I took whole chart as a relationship deal and see any disharmony signs in Transit Progression as deal break factors, also I took 7th house in this chart as the relationship itself rather than other countries.   

 ukeu2-1

This chart it self have Pluto in Libra on Asc, Chiro in 7th . I will not consider Mars as a sign of cut off as it rule 7th but maybe  hard aspect from Uranus are more like the separation. The trine between Venus and Chiron in 7th and Moon tight conjunct Mars Neptune in Sagittarius are suggest   the dream and idea to be bigger. Of course the Sun square by Chiron and Pluto are like what “ leave campaign “  said we lost control of our own country. Sun conjunct Jupiter look nice but a Jupiter in fall make this relationship  like a down-grade deal, people maybe gave too much hope (Jupiter) and expect in better future (So rule 11th ) from neighbour help each other (Jupiter rule 3rd). 

The only thing I like in this chart is the Mars Jupiter mutual reception although there is no traditional aspect but a semi square this suggest the huge effort EU (include UK) paid to maintain stable.

ukeu2-2

Support for remain in EU

Tr Jupiter trine Jupiter

Tr Saturn trine Venus  ( protect the deal )

Sp Mo in Cancer, Sp Mars in Capricorn (although there is tension suggested by opposition between Mo-Ma for a while however it is out of orb now )

ukeu2-4 ukeu2-3

Sp So set Mercury

SA Ve set Mo, SA So set Me, SA Ve sext Ma , SA Pl sxt Ju, Sa Ma con N.Node Sa Ma con Ju 

SE New Moon sex Jup, Se Ma con Mo,Se Ju tri Ju

Support for leave EU

Transit :

Tr Pluto conjunct N.Node and Jupiter, Tr pl square Chiron  a deal breaker 

Tr Chiron square Mercury , Tr Sa app Sa, Tr Ur opp Ur , Tr Ne sq Ne

Tr Uranus trine Mercury  Tr Neptune square Venus

Sp Mercury square Neptune  (confused)

All the planets on SA chart  semi square 1973 chart Planets

ukeu2-5

SE New Moon sq Sa , SE Ur tri Ve, SE Pl con Ju, Se Ju squ Ve, Se Sa con Ve

Conclusion of 1973 chart studies : 

As I was born on 1973 I know this year could be taught as most transit form hard aspect to Natal chart and this is 42 year for UK entry EU therefore an inevitable midlife crisis for this relationship could be expected , sounds like this relationship have to be reconsider again. Again the Transit suggest tendency to leave but Solar Arc and Secondary progression are suggest easier situation.

3. Treaty of Rome 25 Mar 1957

  ukeu3-1

I use Treaty of Rome as EU natal chart as this is very beginning point of EU , this chart have exaltation Sun sextile Moon . Exaltation Venus conjunct Sun (non-trastional), Sun trine Mars and Neptune trine Pluto . Uranus trine Sun in 6house , Saturn trine Mercury near Dsc , We can see the clear idea of this chart , Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, to create a common market of goods, workers, services and capital within the EEC’s member states

base on the  European Coal and Steel Community (6th house ) .

I will not see the transit progression and direction of this chart as the factor of leave of remain of UK but only the current situation of EU altogether with chart of Maastricht treaty.   

In the transit chart Transit Chiron conjunct Venus ( Asc ruler ), Tr Saturn Opp Mars , Tr Pluto conjunct IC as the basic challenges to EU and a danger sign of reform (Pluto on IC )  however 7 house ruler Mars trine Asc ruler Venus suggest the idea of common market still be agreed by member countries.   

ukeu3-2

The Secondary progression chart has Mars ON MC this is not a sign for break as Mars rule Dsc of this treaty as the deal and relationship , Sp Moon on 27 Pisces conjunct Vensu another good sign for EU stay together.

ukeu3-3

The Solar Arc in another way suggest some change , the SA Mars conjunct Uranus this suggest a change action ( break up ).  SA Mars opposition Moon the management of EU has been criticised , SA Venus square Pluto and SA Neptune square Venus , SaMars square Neptune all strongly suggest a division inside of EU.

Transit as current situation is difficult , SP suggest  EU people still tie by feeling but Solar Arc suggest the action are confused and divided.

4. Maastricht treaty

This is basic chart for EU and has more influence of EU current situation and EU expansion also UK referendum.

The Asc on 14 Gemini Moon on 3 Gemini conjunct Node. Moon square Chiron , Mars conjunct Pluto and Uranus conjunct Neptune both square Venus , both Neptune Uranus also sextile Mercury are major themes of this chart. The Uranus Neptune conjunct suggest an idea to be bigger then before for something good. There is also historical idea as great united states of European behind this chart present by Moon Chiron square in 12th and 4th.

In Transit we can see the grand cross hit Maastricht treaty quit hard . Acc square by Neptune Jupiter and opposite by Saturn on Dsc. Transit Pluto on Ur Ne, the great revolutionary idea , the unrealistic dreams face the most crucial reality (Pluto in Capricorn) . Transit Mars square Saturn suggest the criticism on EU structure.

Screen Shot 2016-06-22 at 00.12.38

Transit Pluto sextile Mercury (Asc ruler) and SP Pluto conjunct chart ruler suggest the power struggle and lock of clarity  in EU has been point out and the request of reform. SA Uranus and Neptune conjunct MC remind people the good intention of this great idea. However SA Sun soon will form a semi square with Neptune and Urnanus suggest we realise how difficult to carry these great ideas.   

David Cameron

Another way to analyse this question is check David Cameron’s chart as He represent campaign of  stay in EU and will face huge challenge from Boris Johnson, if the result of referendum is leave he have big change to face party leader challenge and lost his PM position. R

Cameron has  Libra ascendent Sun and Venus both in Libra.

pm1-4

Eclipse New Moon on his Chiron

Eclipse Mars square Mo ( Mc Ruler )

Eclipse Mars conjunct Saturn

Eclipse Jupiter opposite Chiron

pm1-5

Solar return (SR) Venus near Asc ( Venus in Virgo fall ) square by Saturn (7th ruler)

SR Mars in Virgo conjunct Venus Moo and Jupiter square by Mars and opposite by Neptune

SR Sun in 3rd in Libra ( fall ) challenge by Uranus and suggest big change in career.

SR Jupiter on 12 Virgo conjunct Zosma (Victim or Survivor ?)

Many factor suggest PM going to have hard time and lots of change, I don’t know if I give hope to SR Venus fall but conjunct Regulus is too naive .   

Boris Johnson 

Compare with Cameron Boris Johnson have little bit more luck .

Transit Jupiter trine Natal Jupiter (Mc ruler) sextile Neptune (Mc ruler) conjunct Pluto

Transit Pluto trine Jupiter.

SP Mercury Trine Jupiter sextile Neptune

SP Mars sextile Uranus

SA MOON opp Mercury SA Venus sextile Mercury

SA Jupiter trine Saturn

SA Neptune sextile Satun

the things he need careful is

Transit Saturn square Pluto Transit Uranus opposite Moon, Transit Jupiter opposite Chiron

SA Pluto conjunct Moon

SR Mars near Dsc , LoY saturn in 7 conjunct Moon.

Algol is on Ascendent (traditional view )

Screen Shot 2016-06-22 at 16.13.43

Compare with similar situation EEC referendum 1975

Than year Transit Pluto is right on 1801 Asc and  Solar Arc Moon trine Mars (7th ruler) , Solar Arc Neptune trine 1801 Sun (11th ruler ), Solar Arc Sun square Uranus and trine Pluto.

1975 Harold Wilson win the referendum of stay in EU. He has SP Venus right on Asc and SA Asc sxt Venus SA Saturn sxt Saturn , Solar Return chart has Sun conjunct Asc, SR  Mars trine Pluto  . Mercury as LoY sextile Venus ( although Detriment in Aries very little help) However lots of harmony aspect the  in Soar Arc help him stays PM but he resign at 1976 with health concern. 

That day Fixed stars paran are

Bellatrix – Rising at the Ascendant orb 03 mins 32 secs –

A life full of struggle but also success, a battler

Pollux – Rising at the Ascendant orb 01 mins 59 secs –

Using words and language to seek truth, however painful

Sun – Rising when Menkar is Rising suggest Great success or great loss; to be a pawn in the winds of change (Great success in this case)

Moon – Rising when Vega is Culminating A compassionate leader, someone who cares – Circumpolar

Venus – Rising when Rigel is Rising It is favorable and similar to Jupiter and Mars (Arising and lying hidden).

Opening of poll chart

openpoll

As Mark Cullen and other traditional astrologers apply Bonatti’s battle field chart technique with  opening of poll chart. I really interesting and enjoy reading this . I have to be very honest to say, if anything  in  astrology suggest 50-50 and many analyses can not give me a clear direction.

This chart could be last draw for me to judge the favour is in “ leave “ company .

As 1975 remain campaign (Government so as 1st house) win , we can see 7 house ruler caught in 1st house and 1st house ruler conjunct with Jupiter in 11th. For 2016 EU referendum table turned, 1st ruler will be in 7th without any major aspect.    

more about this please ready Mark Cullen ’s article
