Breaking the mould, rejecting hate.
A rather spectacular by-election result last week, by plumber Hannah Spencer who trounced the racist Reform party and the incumbent Labour party with a whopping 4,000 majority in a previously safe Labour seat.
We don’t have a birth time for her, so we can only guess her ascendant, I like Leo, she does have great hair or Gemini, she is chatty and personable. Her Moon in an early degree of Cancer at midday, may be in late Gemini.
But What can we tell from the chart as it is? The first thing that catches my eye is her Jupiter at 4′ Leo, opposite an intelligent Saturn in Aquarius at 6 degrees. Both planets catch Pluto, currently at 4′ of Aquarius. So she represents the zeitgeist and the people (Aquarius).
What else can we see? She has the Aries Sun of a trailblazer, conjunct Mercury. She is not scared to speak her truth and take on the bullies. Aries is the warrior sign and is phased by very little and indeed, likes a scrap, but often has issues with staying power; they get bored easily. She has no personal planets in earth, (as far as we know). On the other hand her trade is practical, a plumber (Saturn rules lead and hence plumbers) and plasterer (heavy work) suggesting her 6th or 10th house might be Saturn ruled.
In terms of her new work, she has a Grand Air Trine of Saturn, Venus and Fortuna, showing her facility with words and her chatty open manner, which will help with a parliamentary career.
Before the election I did a horary which showed a Green victory. Jupiter ruling the MC of contests and the Moon showing the party, applying to a conjunction, an easy perfection. Not sure what the retrograde Jupiter shows, it also rules the 9th house, Reform did complain and threaten legal action after losing, but her majority was so large this has no legs. Both planets are in the 12 house of secret enemies. Reform were expected to win, hoping the Greens would split the opposition vote. Their complacency was their downfall. Her opponent, shown by Saturn in Aries in the 10th is separating from a square of the Moon, showing the people said no. In my last blog, I mentioned this week’s Lunar eclipse fell on Farage’s Ascendant and Pluto, which might explain the 7th house Pluto in the horary. He also has the anaretic degree of Venus at 29′ Taurus, which may indicate his declining popularity. In his chart Venus rules his 2nd and 9th houses. I await further bad news for him with anticipation.
Notice the Moon on election day was in early Cancer, like Hannah’s Natal Moon, so that day was her Lunar return.
Another upset, this time in American politics but with the same message, unity, fairness and improving the lives of ordinary people and he also used the word, ‘hope’.
Who is he? James Talarico came to my attention in a reel where he said, ‘many Christians have a head full of scripture and a heart full of hate.’ which could not be more true, especially in the politicised world of American Christianity. He aims to turn the red state Texas blue and has just won the Democratic nomination. The Talarico campaign has seen crowds like those for Mamdani in New York. Both speak to ordinary people whose ‘pockets are being picked’ by billionaires. We don’t have a time of birth, but from his demeanour, I wonder if he is Taurus rising, he is gently spoken but relentless in his message. Notice he has 3 planets in Gemini, Uranus will transit them this next year. Uranus has been on his Sun this past year and may explain his bold career move, he was previously a public school teacher.
Notice his Moon in mid to late Libra. He might pick up the Aries Full Moon on April 17th at 27 Libra which will conjunct Hannah’s Sun. Although the global news currently is bad (US and Israel bombing Iran and Lebanon currently) I feel change is coming and it will be lead by grassroots movements, all very Aquarian.
