Profiling: The Radical Shift in NZ Politics

A radical shift in New Zealand politics is underway

 under the influence of the

 October 2017 New Moon

Under the MMP political system the minor party NZ First reached the position after the September 23 election, to negotiate a coalition deal with either the Right or Left party.

On October 19 NZ First leader Winston Peters announced that he had chosen to partner with the left bloc led by Labour.

With Labour already married to the Green Party, this then became a union of 3 political entities.

Labour Leader Jacinda Ardern takes the role of Prime Minister and other roles will be announced in due course.

The astrological factors bringing about this combination have been profiled in prior posts 

• a profile on Peters from 2014
• a comparison between Ardern & opponent English
• a comparison between an Ardern-Peters combo versus a Peters-English combo

The indicators assessed by the author in late August-early September 2017 pointed to both a much more workable relationship between Ardern and Peters and that Ardern had the right stuff to pull off another meteoric leap in her political career.

Those conclusions were verified on October 19.
Of course Labour and its partners will not use the word "radical" but the consequences of this era of change are likely to be very distinctive.

October 19

An historic day in New Zealand politics, the implications of which become evident looking at the astrological picture at the time Winston Peters delivered the decision made by NZ First.

The chart below at 7pm indicates the energy at that time [carrying through the energy of the recent past - the gestation phase -and the significant themes embedded in that time and therefore unfolding ahead - and so functions just like a personal birth chart which captures the prebirth, birth moment and lifetime.

The next birth moment will of course be captured in the time of the formal formation of the government.

• At the top of the chart is the political sign Capricorn. The highest planet -which is an indicator of transformation, regeneration, renewal -is Pluto
• the luminaries and two planets sit in the sector indicating relationships/partnerships/marriage
• The sun and moon [yang and yin] are moving towards conjunction = a New Moon
• a New Moon is literally a new beginning, a new cycle
• Uranus opposes the Sun = the need to balance out the need for both shared and separate self expressions = the give and take of negotiation
• Neptune links to Uranus and the Sun = compassionate, humanitarian themes are significant
• Mars in Virgo = a strong work ethic with humanitarian goals [link to Chiron in Pisces]
• Venus in Libra and Saturn in Sagittarius in close connection to the lunar nodes show a philosophically driven approach involving a sense of responsibility and a heart-driven response to the concerns of the community
• Mercury and Jupiter together in Scorpio indicate the intense and endless discussions that this menage `a  trois has & will continue to involve
• Pluto the great force for transformation provides the most significant themes: that this government has the opportunity to bring in reforms of our political system, how politics and politicians work, how politicians connect to the public at large, the political impacts on families and women in particular. The banking and financial sectors are also set for reforms under the effects of this indicator 
• The radical shift encapsulated was reflected back by Winston Peters in his coalition speech: this government rejects the devastation faced by many citizens and many communities wrought by the free-market neoliberal economic model: policies agreed on will rebuild a more caring society for New Zealand

Jacinda & Winston or Bill & Winston

Examining the potential coalition options emanating out of the nationwide general election of 2017 the question arises as to how much inherent compatibility exists between the third party leader and the leaders of the traditional political Right and Left
The key figures as at late August are Jacinda Ardern [Labour], Bill English [National, Winston Peters [NZ First]

Energy analysis based solely on 11 energy factors* in effect on the date of birth for each participant gives a distinct picture.

Jacinda with Winston
Jacinda Ardern  born 26-7-80 and Winston born 11-4-45 are both Fire signs -an immediate capacity for bold assertive conduct. She is a Leo -sign of the heart and known for their sunshine quality and he is that most masculine of signs Aries. This fire compatibility creates a basic level of energetic comfort.
Both have the water sign Cancer in a significant role -housing and family matters are important. The capacity to care about people underlies their motivation.

Both have the earth sign Virgo trait of being hard-working.
Both are strong personalities and this could result in some standoffs, jockeying for power but Jacinda is likely to be quite diplomatic and compromising towards Winston's renegade qualities. Her soft side will be quite calming for him. She is comfortable working in partnership. His natural instinct is more stand-alone but he can respond to the benefits of co-operation.
She has the capacity to balance out his rough edges
He will respect Jacinda when she reveals her depth of focus and commitment even if her strength is a challenge to him.
Overall an 8/10 compatibility rating

Bill with Winston
Bill -born 30-12-61 is a Capricorn -an earth/practical sign and his backstory is very typical of the sign of the Goat..rising out of the lowlands of agriculture slowly, steadily into the lofty peaks of the Beehive to attain the role of Prime Minister.
You would therefore think Aries [the Ram] would get on famously with Capricorn - but the ram is the young blood in this contest [despite Winston being the Elder statesman.] Aries is forceful, pushy and impatient where Capricorn is slow, restrained and steady. These two signs are regarded as having fundamentally incompatible energies.
And where Winston is loaded with Aries energy [Sun, Mercury, Venus] Bill is loaded with Capricorn [ Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn] Slow and Steady. Mr Family Man. This is the No Thrills package with only one Fire quality [the ego quality that likes the fame & public acclaim re his status as PM ]
The story does not improve when other key indicators are considered.
There is no love lost between these two because they are ill at ease with the extreme differences they detect in each other, all capable of creating mutual significant distaste, frustration and dislike if placed in a forced political marriage. Caution is on one side with risk, unpredictability, spontaneity on the other. Though Bill may occasionally secretly wish he could be as loose independent, quick on his feet and unpredictable as Winston is.
These two will truly battle for control, a battle of wits.
If they choose to ignore all the obvious warning signs gleaned from years of personal observation of each other the likelihood of falling out will become even more apparent at close quarters.
Overall compatibility shockingly low ..even 2/10 may be optimistic

Let the games begin

update October 24 
On September 23 National assumed they had won an MMP election when it was patently clear that an alternate option was viable.
Negotiations proceeded from September 24 to October 19 with Winston Peters, leader of NZFirst seeing which policy alignments would work with either a National or Labour-led government. Labour already had a support agreement with the Green Party.

The full outline of how Jacinda Ardern came to take the top job is detailed in depth in a dedicated post

Supermoon JULY 2013 - world forecast

This is a global report since Earth is in its entirety
 subject to solar system forces.
Particular locations and people will show the highlighted effects
 due to the resonance or vibrational match between the person/place and the prevailing energy input from the solar system

The 3rd Supermoon of 2013 is due on July 22

The birth of a new British Royal is awaited

New Zealand experiences a quake swarm

July 8 2013 has the New Moon and Mercury closely joined
 in Cancer; Uranus square Pluto; Saturn trine Neptune
 as standout factors
Forecast

In this period there is a continuation of the global context of ongoing social/political/envionmental turmoil.
[update - start of July 2013: noting extreme weather, destructive natural events, instability in Brazil, Egypt, Syria - as evidenced in news reports are all relevant to the prevailing energies for the month]
 Planetary factors [Uranus square Pluto] provide a turbulent backdrop to the group of water signs [Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer] increasingly in July generating strong emotional responses across significant numbers of the human population.

This scenario suggests major political/societal/environmental events during the lunar month which will serve up significant

• doses of major change in the lives of ordinary people and which rightly warrant
•  a supportive response from those in better positions of safety, security and welfare.

[update July 9 Egypt & Syria remain in a major state of internal political conflict. The period July 5-8 has seen a rash of accidents involving transport -bus crashes in Cuba and New Jersey, plane crash landed at San Francisco airport, train explosion in Quebec
Astro-analysis reveals the planetary energetic factors as Mars conjunct Moon at 25 Gemini, both forming an exact 135 degrees angle [sesquiquadrate] to the 10 degree Scorpio midpoint of Saturn-North Node = death, difficult times re transport failure/crash

update July 1 - recent solar activity impacting earth since June 28 2013 is also relevant:]

June 28 saw a strong geomagnetic storm impact earth, as a result of a high stream solar wind in full connection due to south polarity of the Bz component.
There were 15 hours in succession of storm level readings from over K4 up to K7 in the period June 28 21:00 hrs UT to June 29 12:00hrs UT 

This was a long duration geomagnetic event bringing northern lights as far south as Kansas and in New Zealand up to Wellington, latitude 41 South.

Flow on effects are anticipated in earth systems - natural, biological and electronic. Watch for relevant news of related turbulence in weather, human/animal behaviour, system malfunctions, sharemarket panic [not extreme but causing instability] especially July 1-2. 

The planetary picture means for many the month is dominated by the energies of homes, houses, families, lunar, female, motherly, nurturing. Sensitivities are heightened, with compassion and caring to the fore.

This suggests continuance and even greater emphasis upon the ongoing trend seen in vulnerable locations across the world whereby families and their places of refuge – their homes – are under real threat of destruction: 

• if environmental factors [effects of fire/wind/water] reach extreme levels
• or loss of dwellings/family disintegration as a result of political-societal upheaval if human generated disaster zones derived from war, conflict or misuse of power, spread into residential areas.

[update July 2 Arizona wildfires, flooding in Indian Assam region and M6.2 quake in Indonesia all bearing destructive forces affecting homes and families]

Further social rebalancing effects are equally possible in known global conflict zones as well as in western democracies – in other words, wherever the use of power has become severely dysfunctional, abusive, corrupt. Such circumstances are the evidence of systemic failure on the part of governing regimes and elected decision-makers to fulfil their essential purpose – to effectively manage their nation’s resources in order that citizens may enjoy productive and collectively beneficial lives. This ethic has for the most part, across the planet, been buried in the mists of antiquity, but a redressing of the power imbalances is unavoidably on the global agenda under full spotlights during the period 2012-2016 

[update July 17 Royal Baby Awaited
An exact date has not been disclosed prior to the birth of the British Royal Family's latest addition. She/he is expected to arrive in the period approaching -i.e. the powerful building phase of exact full moon - the Supermoon detailed below -the lunar energy is likely to promote childbirth in anyone hanging on or overdue
What makes this period especially relevant to the Royals is:

• the 0 degree Leo-Aquarius Supermoon is exactly square the Queen's 0 Taurus Sun and exactly square Prince Charles' [grandad] 0 Taurus Moon.
• the Supermoon is exactly square Prince William's Jupiter at 0 Scorpio and exactly square Prince Harry's Pluto at 0 Scorpio
• Mars and Jupiter, both in Cancer go into close conjunction on July 20 2013

Queen Elizabeth when a three year old Princess

• Mars and Jupiter are exact conjunct at 5'50 Cancer on July 22. This highly energetic link between Mars and Jupiter is a Royal family tree signature passed down from the Queen
• The Queen has Mars and Jupiter in tight conjunction in Aquarius -being 20'52 and 22'30 respectively
• Prince Charles has Mars and Jupiter in conjunction in Sagittarius -being 20'57 and 29'53 respectively
• Princess Anne has Mars and Jupiter trined in Pisces and Scorpio -2'53 and 3'53 respectively
• Lower profile Princes Andrew and Edward do not have this trait.
• Prince William does not share this pattern. Nor did his mother Princess Diana and nor does Prince Harry
• Both William and Diana share the Sun sign Cancer
• The Royal sign Leo and or corresponding symbol the Sun tend to be prominent in those born into Royalty [William, Charles, Queen, Anne, Queen Mother, King George VI, Princess Margaret]
• The Sun moves from Cancer to Leo in July every year and in 2013 will do so on the day of the Supermoon, the 22nd.
• Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, formerly Kate Middleton - is likely to have Moon in Cancer [no verified birth-time located]
• A child born before July 23 will have a Cancer-Leo mix giving much sensitivity and strong family ties as well as the love of public profile and the very relevant highly energetic Mars-Jupiter trait - fitting in very nicely into the Royal personality -more to come once the arrival is specifically timed.
• If born even within day or two of the Supermoon - the personality factors outlined will reflect in the personality of the new Royal
• update July 22  right on the Supermoon, Duchess of Cambridge goes into labour -reported by BBC and has gone to St Mary's Hospital London. Supermoon is exact at 18.17 UT July 22 -  see Royal Baby analysis

July 22 Supermoon - Full Moon: Leo-Aquarius with Mars-Jupiter-Saturn-Neptune water sign Grand Trine; Uranus square Pluto

The Full Moon pairing of Leo-Aquarius generates issues around  love, love affairs, friendship, group activities. What links these is that they are all ways or levels of relating and questions may arise as to which is most appropriate.

• The Human Collective continues to be emphasised, in terms of the Big Family – our connection and attachment to the larger pool of humanity is likely to arise in many situations. 
• Events are likely to bring this consciousness to the forefront at a time when human - as well as other biological and energetic forces of nature are in major adjustment – shifts, changes, realignments, alterations in balances and emphases – as part of the journey of humanity towards greater realisation of our potential. 
• The long-term process is however fraught with challenges - including shock and bewilderment -  since most major shifts appear to be initiated by outside forces. But there is no difference. The outside is a mirror of the inside. Everything is in mutual feedback, each to each other and us with the environment. 

Further factors [Mars,Jupiter] add to the effects generally experienced on earth from the lunar gravitational dynamic co-created with the Sun at Full Moon and the Supermoon situation due to close perigee. 

 These factors combined place a much greater than normal strain on the earth’s crust due to stronger tidal bulges around the planet.
In addition, fluid and atmospheric pressures are capable of large increases in the period around this full moon.

These effects may be evident from July 21 and continuing into August as several triggers come into effect engaging Mars & Jupiter with Uranus and Pluto. 

Geophysical stresses will increase but may not yet be evident in terms of significant surface seismic rupturing - further strains could erupt as the weeks progress into August

Environmental atmospheric turbulence is likely to be widespread globally –storms, severe deluge, flooding, landslips –anything in the category of extreme weather cannot be excluded - as relevant to local conditions and their trademark vulnerabilities.

Stormy conditions affect human interactions as well.

update July19
Wellington, capital city of New Zealand experiences significant quake -seen here just registering on the national seismic drum network. Preliminary magnitude 5.7. Epicentre is south of the city, 8kms deep in seafloor.

This faultline map section with epicentre [orange dot] shows the involvement of the major faults associated with the plate boundary zone crossing New Zealand.

update July 21 2013

Geonet quake drum July 21 Wellington NZ records quake activity generated below seafloor, Cook Strait with magnitudes up to M5.8 -exceeding the initial M5.7 event of Friday 19th

News report on NZ quake swarm
Quakemap 
Instead of reducing, the Cook Strait quakes affecting Wellington are increasing - on July 21

Quakes of this magnitude vibrate through the whole of New Zealand.
This one upgraded to M6.5

What is interesting in the animation is the wide spread of seismic activity beyond the focal Cook Strait area - and even further beyond the map coverage

Monday July 22 also saw two destructive & fatal quakes -M5.6, M6.6 in China 

July 29 sees a M5.4 in Cook Strait and a M4.7 in North Canterbury - adding to the possibility that added strain on the major Alpine Fault running through the South Island could be the process to watch as we head into high risk August - report

Note:
As forecast in the May report on the lunar eclipse:

The involvement of the transport signs [GEM-SAG] along with Saturn-Neptune in Scorpio-Pisces gives grounds to expect fatalities associated with any transit mode – walking, jogging, bus, car, truck, train, plane, ship are the main methods of transport – and all are at risk of  failure, involving death. Neptune brings issues around these events: a detrimental force of water, drugs, alcohol,

 the inattention of an unfocussed mind -

 are all potential adverse ingredients

An eclipse has a period of influence until the next eclipse event period some 6 months later. In July a succession of transport accidents have occurred with Neptune lingering around the 5 degree position - linked tightly to the eclipse at 4 degrees.
Neptune will retrograde back to 4 degrees in August, probably increasing transport accident risks

Further updates may be added as news reports confirm expected outcomes
