Losing the plot

Saturn Neptune illusions

Although the Saturn Neptune conjunction has passed, the effect of Saturn and Neptune still has an effect, especially it would seem for those who believe they can act with impunity..

In the news recently, the head of FIFA the footballing organisation responsible for running the World Cup, Gianni Infantino, who awarded Trump a special ‘Peace prize’, rescinded a red card on a US footballer at the request of Trump, but the straw that broke the camel’s back was last week announcing he was going to sell rights to the world cup for billions and had a Trump family member lined up as an invester. Infantino had secretly proposed to sell 21% of a new World Cup operating company to Thrive Capital, an investment company founded by Joshua Kushner, the younger brother of Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. This has caused outrage in the footballing community and he may well be removed from post.

So, what of his astrology? Aries Sun conjunct Mercury and Chiron and Venus also in Aries. This is a man who embodies Aries’ arrogance. As we don’t know his birth time his Moon may be 6′ either way, 0′ Libra to 12′ Libra, my guess is that it is nearer to Uranus than not. Both, in any case opposite his Sun, Mercury and Chiron.

So, currently Saturn is conjunct his Venus at 14’42 Aries, retrograding away, and Neptune at 4’14 Aries conjunct Sun, Mercury and Chiron and opposing his Moon. Saturn shows limitation and Neptune overblown fantasies about his own power (Aries). Pluto at 4’08 Aquarius is square his Jupiter, picking up the Saturn opposition, 4’27 Scorpio and 7’07 Taurus respectively. Saturn Jupiter can often show unrealistic ambition (Jupiter) blocked (Saturn) in this case in the money signs of Taurus (yours) and Scorpio (theirs).

Another man overstepping the bounds is Farage, who called a bye election to stop investigation of his dodgy finances, is now competing against a bin-Count Binface, who might actually beat him. The money stories grow deeper and darker, as Reform’s lead in the polls continues to drop, this week to behind labour for the first time for 18 months.

Here, again we see Aries’ over and misplaced confidence. Farage has been exposed as a grifter. Notice his Mars, strong and perhaps reckless in Aries at 4’01 at present almost exactly conjunct by Neptune (4’14). Mars in and ruler of the 8th house of other people’s money, Neptune deceiving that, like Infantino, he was all powerful and nothing could touch him, because as to date he has been given a smooth ride by the Press. But, as the Greeks teach us, Hubris, believing you are one of the gods, always bring Nemesis, or complete destruction.

Count Binface has made Farage look ridiculous, the sleaze won’t go away, if he is reelected the parliamentary investigation will continue, and certainly, his bogus ‘man of the people’ trope is tarnished if not completely destroyed.

Information about his dodgy dealings have been known for years, but the stories have not gained traction. The astrology has triggered events or at least inclined him to take a foolish risk when his judgement is off (Neptune confuses and misleads).

When Chiron gets to his chart ruler Mercury at 2’17 Taurus (June 2027) we may see further collapse. For Infantino, Neptune arrives to his Chiron in June 2027 expect further painful lessons.
