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
