BREXIT astrology - the world has changed

June 2016 saw the UK deliver a LEAVE vote in terms of membership of the European Union
Most of the debate has been immigration focussed -but it is the political, economic and financial causes and consequences which are possibly more significant.
Astrological cycles are a powerful guide to historical events and in 2016 the essence of the current Saturn-Jupiter cycle has been awakened.
[May 2000 the last Saturn-Jupiter conjunction at 22'43 Taurus
Note also: Pluto in that chart was 11'38 Sagittarius]
Fast forward to 2016
June 23
Saturn -the classic signifier of separation being by this stage at 11'40 Sagittarius triggers a transformational freedom [Pluto in Sagittarius] foreshadowed in the conjunction chart of May 2000

this quickly released image from the Leave sector

[Mars at 23'23 Scorpio on 23/6/2016 activates the original conjunction - Saturn and Jupiter play out the classic tug-of-war - Saturn = separating, versus Jupiter = being part of a big socio-political territory.]
But Saturn in Sagittarius requires a blending of the two motivations - and freedom through leaving seems to have captured a few more million people in the UK referendum

Pluto energy signifies that much has has to break down and burn to the core in order for a new version to arise out of the ashes.
This is transformation, this is healing and renewal - exactly the intense change that most people dread and fear right through to the cellular level, when it affects any aspect of life - but when a whole nation is collectively put on the bonfire, it's a powerful rebirth that's on offer.

Faith and trust are called upon more than ever that something better could arise -better than propping up dysfunctional plutocratic governments, the privileged and comfortable sectors who have been the clearly identified beneficiaries of neoliberal politics across the world, the architects of austerity, the engineers of inequality.  
[ The June New Moon with the mutable grand cross -Gemini Sagittarius Virgo Pisces served as a significant trigger for this momentous change -with Saturn, [leave] Jupiter, [stay combined] Neptune,[faith] Venus,[financial issues] Sun and Moon all in a battle for resolution: the Brexit vote has displayed what the majority wanted in the UK]
So June 2016 marks a very significant stake in the ground in the European and global arena.

In terms of energy shifts -which are essentially the role of astrology to identify and explain - we, globally and collectively are sitting, in 2016, on the fringes of the biggest shift in 200 years

excerpt from Saturn-Jupiter analysis*

So, in the most recent cycle, aside from 1980-81, our global humanity has been locked increasingly and highly dysfunctionally, into a very materialistic, money-oriented mindset since 1802.

In 2016, the world is again being put on notice, given a forewarning, a wake-up call, courtesy of Brexit and the obvious financial ripples, shudders and crashes.
A bright light is illuminating the coming transition towards the end of 2020 - the beginning of 200 years shift in focus - focus away from money, possessions, mass indulgence in greed, accumulating, collecting, storing. THINGS, objects, stuff, clutter.
And because nothing happens in a vacuum - global effects with mass consequences are the expected conduit through which humanity's relationship to money, possessions, accumulation is in many ways forcibly changed.
People en masse are simply not going to wake up in this transition period and beyond 2020, and say words to the effect I'm over this materialist shit - though a few already are and people in the 1960's hippy era did embrace this philosophy 
-[Saturn and Jupiter conjuncted in 1961]
So global events are the obvious precursor crisis that enforces less materiality -and yes, less money,- due to conditions of deprivation for many-rather than a pre-selected personal philosophical choice.

The hard way is enforced change.
The easier way is working out in advance where the flow is going and making personal decisions that create a shift away from so much extreme dependence on a materialistic existence - eg renting versus owning property, public transport versus personal vehicle, reducing the quantity of consumer goods purchased in favour of using just what you need or sharing/borrowing/hiring appliances/tools/equipment.
Being prepared to live on a lower income.
Getting rid of clutter, stored possessions. [The minimalist style is an early flavour of what is to be much more prevalent]
Downsizing -literally reducing the scale of the things you choose to keep - housing, transport - house to apartment; from car to a scooter.

Because we have already entered the transition period there are many indicators of these shifts in consciousness about materialism.
More is to come because it is a collective shift that will capture the essential mindset of humanity -and many will not be interested in making a change. But the flow cannot be resisted. Standing in a growing flood is simply the sign of a delusional ego.
Global financial crises have been continually anticipated again in the years after the 2007 GFC and the odds have arguably been increased with the Brexit Leave vote.
Brexit itself is not the world changer, Brexit happened because the world is in transition for even more change.

November 2015 - the problems arising: astro analysis

A major planetary pattern with significant global implications builds through November 2015 and recurs significantly in 2016. [June-Oct]
November sees Saturn's energy at odds with that of Neptune.
When any planets are offset at 90 degrees a stressful incompatibility is generated in their energy fields. 

Saturn

This is Part 2 of the November 2015 analysis
For Part 1 which covers the energies in effect for the Paris attacks on November 13 go to Pluto on the Rampage

November 2015: Saturn is in Sagittarius and Neptune in Pisces when this square angle stress occurs.
Effectively from November 25-November 30 in particular forces will be locked into patterns that both manifest outcomes within that time frame but also set in motion patterns that were born in that time frame. 
Related effects are listed later in this post

A consideration of a range of related keywords gives some definition to the range of outcomes that will be recorded across diverse locations and contexts.
In all prevailing influences, people and locations do not equally experience the same intensity of impacts.
In order to strongly experience a related effect, the signature resonance of each place and person must match or have near correspondence to the type of pattern that is generated by planetary wave emissions.
Those lesser affected will simply read about, or view/listen to related news reports.


At the time of writing [November 12 2015] the two planets Saturn and Neptune are less than two degrees off their exact square angle - 7 degrees 2 minutes which occurs on 26/27 November [timezone dependent] 
This proximity of the two planets is enough to generate effects.

When Mercury also reaches 7 Sagittarius on November 25 conjoining Saturn and when the Sun reaches 7 Sagittarius on the 29-30th November, conjoining with Saturn -  in both of these periods the forces will be at right angles to Neptune so the Saturn-Neptune effects are amplified in the period 25-30 November and even into early December 2015. 

Here are some manifestations of the Saturn-Neptune-Sagittarius-Pisces energies involved.
Note that mostly challenging, difficult conditions arise with these combinations.

• Clash of beliefs - expect strongly opposed beliefs, repressive philosophies and rejection of religious or spiritual  perspectives
• Drought - Saturn restricting Neptune's water = declining soil moisture
• Damaging deluge or flooding - Saturn brings damaging effects after water initiates breakdown
• Restricted growth - Sagittarian expansion limited by Saturn's restrictive effect on water
• Maritime disasters - Saturn causes malfunction, restrictions, problems for vessels and people when travel by water is involved
• Insomnia - Neptune and Pisces are related to sleep. Saturn causes inhibited/restricted sleep
• Oil slump - Neptune's relationships include water, oil, chemicals, drugs, medicines, alcohol. Oil is heading downward and likely to be depressed on international markets whenever Saturn in Sagittarius is conflict with Neptune in Pisces.
• Economic downturn - e.g. a restricted growth cycle has once again resumed in China, with global implications.
• Reality versus Dreaming contrasts clearly the mindset of Saturn versus Neptune. Unrealistic schemes for business growth will fail.
• Legal problems due to alcohol/drug abuse or excess
• Liver problems from drug/alcohol abuse or excess
• Over-extension problems eg risk taking, excess physical effort due to poor judgement, confusion, being unrealistic
• Arthritic pelvic conditions due to toxic overload, dietary-induced inflammation.
• Paint, gas, chemical and oil related problems also includes biological problems from related toxicity, any negative outcomes from the use of such substances. Problems with painters, paint quality.

A positive outcome for Pisces/Neptune dominant people:
Saturn is the reality factor offset against Neptune's illusions, delusions, fantasies, escapism.

This can being Pisces/Neptunians down to earth in a beneficial way, bringing back structure, goals, plans, ambitions, managed growth, career focus -as a counterpoint to the dissolute, aimless, drifting, unfocussed existence that is likely to have preceded this new opportunity for balance.

A good time for sports people [Sagittarius] to abandon drugs and alcohol [Pisces] and make a commitment to attain mastership in their field [Saturn]



Looking forward to the bigger picture in 2016 because only some of the Saturn-Neptune issues will arise in late Nov 2015, or they will begin and not be resolved or completed until late 2016:

• the year sees repeated Saturn-Neptune combined effects
• June 2016 expect to see many themes arise during this month especially in the first week as detailed below-  
• [when 12-13 degrees also involves the Gemini Sun and 14 Virgo brings Jupiter into the picture meaning al1 4 mutable signs activated - Pisces opposite Virgo, Gemini opposite Sagittarius and form the mutable cross at the June 5 Gemini New Moon -energies flowing into July, August and September.

• The involvement of the Moon's lunar nodal axis becomes highly relevant from mid-June 2016 [when Jupiter in Virgo merges with the Virgo-Pisces axis in the 15-16 degree range while Saturn and Neptune occupy  12 degrees.]

• The 9 Virgo solar eclipse New Moon at the start of September occurs opposite Neptune in Pisces with these factors all at odds with Saturn in Sagittarius. 
• Soon after, Sun, lunar nodes, Mars, Saturn and Neptune will collectively amplify mutable sign energies relating to water -extremes of drought in places, extremes of deluge or flood in others with mass effects. Growth and production from the soil environment to the factory production line are equally affected.
• Economic effects are inevitable including rising unemployment, declining company values, national GDP impacted negatively.

• If you think these indicators hold the potential for global recession you could be correct.

• September 2016 as well as November 2016 are 2 months to watch in these respects both environmental/climate related and economically.

Neptune

Update Nov 14
With the mass attacks in Paris late on Friday Nov 13 the Saturn-Neptune energy brings another expression to the fore:
It is likely that public sentiment will strongly converge around a Saturnian or negative/severe/restrictive response to migrants/refugees in addition to the perceived threat from radicals driven by religious fundamentalism
Saturn in Sagittarius translates as fear/rejection, dislike of foreigners. 
This energy will be at odds with the compassion or sympathy/humanitarian response typical of Neptune in Pisces.


This is Part 2 of the November 2015 analysis.

Part 1 on Pluto in November 2015

Notes:
Saturn is detailed in depth on this site* and many references to Saturn in Sagittarius as well as Neptune and mutable energies .
To look at the combined effects means finding what sort of synergies are possible with Saturn and Neptune. This process looks at the keyword combinations that express the inherent Saturnian and Neptunian qualities as well as the relevance of their current passages through Sagittarius and Pisces.

PISCES profile: Judith Collins MP

PISCES is a sign not usually connected with the ugliness of political ambition but New Zealand has had a few unusual fish in the aquarium.  

MP Judith Collins is one of those.

Latest: September 2021

Judith Collins has reached a nadir in her political empowerment and is showing clear signs of not coping with the sustained inability to function in her role under Covid pandemic conditions which have impacted New Zealand at every level since 28 February 2020.

From an astrological perspective she is under significant energetic stress from 2 influences which have begun to converge - together delivering a significant sense of disempowerment. 

Physical health consequences are a significant risk for her in September-October 2021 if her level of mental stress is not resolved. 

Latest: June 2019

Collins reveals her sporty combative Sagittarian traits & shows an incremental rise in view of the 2020 general election. With some planetary support repeating in 2020 & 2021 she is still in the game. Lacking complete birth data means full confidence is not possible but there is definite optimism available for her to advance a leadership campaign during those years.

Original post continues:

This analysis focuses on those most relevant aspects of the MP's character which have led to her current difficulties over conflict of interest claims by political opponents. A full personality profile is not offered in the light of no time or location of birth being known. Influences prevailing on the day of her birth are however highly relevant.

Those with close Piscean associates may struggle to identify the classic sensitive, dreamy, softie who is in this world but not of it, in the publicly hard-nosed member of parliament, regarded generally as a high-flying right-wing political aspirant in the upper echelons of power.
Judith Collins has notched up a bunch of lifetime Google entries this past week which she will need to rapidly smother in order to progress any higher political ambitions

So how did a PISCES get into this mess?
Politics is the natural stomping ground of Capricorns, Saturnian types, Plutonic sociopaths: people of finer sensitivities tend to get chewed up and spat out rather promptly or remain in long-term suffering servitude in dogs-body roles.

To be a long-term Piscean politician takes exactly the sort of grit that Judith Collins possesses. But it's not all good news.
Were she to reach a higher level of power the risk of megalomania looms large.
Pisceans are very prone to being religiously or spiritually inclined so it is an interesting trivia note that the initials are JC and that more seriously, Judith was born on a day when there was a major cross pattern in the heavens
The astrological set of 12 zodiac signs is more meaningfully grouped into like-minded sets - so there are 3 sets of 4 - and each set acts differently to the other but signs in the same set have a lot in common
The sets are
Cardinal: Aries Libra Cancer Capricorn
Fixed: Taurus Scorpio Leo Aquarius
Mutable: Pisces Virgo Gemini Sagittarius
and there are two pairs of complimentary opposites in each set
 eg Aries-Libra, Cancer-Capricorn

Judith was born under a Pisces Sun on February 24 1959 when the full set of mutable signs were occupied in a tight angular relationship, forming a mutable cross

A graphic representation shows Sun in Pisces on the left opposite Pluto in Virgo
Then Jupiter in Sagittarius at the top is opposite Mars in Gemini at the bottom.
Degree positions in the cross range from one to six degrees
These 4 factors create a tightly arranged mutable cross -an actual astronomical event which is subject to long-established astrological interpretation
Judith's pattern is given a further accent by having Saturn at 5 Capricorn and  Neptune at 7 Scorpio - in position to effectively link energies with all the prior noted positions
Each factor represents distinct energies based on the vibrational patterns & the synthesis and resulting effects is what is determined through analysis.

A cross pattern in the chart creates a highly dynamic energy & a strong personality - and with forces opposing and at right angles the likelihood of battles, conflicts , anger, irritations is a lifelong theme
The cross containing mutable signs is regarded by longstanding researcher Alan Oken as the hallmark of the group of people who are least evolved, conformist, instinctual and due to a highly unconscious operating level - lacking in insight. They have a desire for an extremely broad range of intense experiences

Next, looking at the planets inhabiting the signs provides another layer of information.
Judith happens to have most of the hard-core players at her disposal:
Pluto, Mars, Sun, Jupiter - all of which have bovver-boy status in numerous circumstances.
Judith's saving grace? She is a woman. Any more testosterone would be scary.
Secondly SATURN -outside of the cross - which serves as a critical anchor to her capacity for extemism
If Saturn were positioned out of range - say 10 or more degrees - she would lack the capacity to restrain, restrict, modify, control herself.
NEPTUNE is also in range and outside of the cross - which increases Pisces tendencies but its closest link -to Mars is not a positive. Neptune in Scorpio blended with Mars in Gemini lends towards sneaky, secretive and deceptive communications
Evidence of her conduct shows that Saturn does not always manage to pull the reins tightly enough on the recklessness and supreme confidence engendered by Mars in Gemini opposite Jupiter in Sagittarius or silence the verbal aggression of Mars square the Sun. The bully style typical of Pluto square Mars, Pluto opposite the Sun is unacceptable in contemporary social mores -but Judith is known to be allied with a male with the antisocial qualities she restrains. In psychological terms this process of projection allows others to carry out your dirty work.
Pugnacious [Mars square the Sun], full of herself to the point of arrogance [Jupiter square the Sun], snipey and manipulative tendencies with a DNA strand devoted to the odd bit of cruelty  [Pluto's toxic Scorpionic elements] Judith has a lot to keep the lid on.
It serves her well to have others acting as a controversial mouthpiece.
Jupiter in Sagittarius, the eternal optimist factor enables Judith to come out smiling. Formerly a lawyer [Jupiter] = a battleground of minds [Mars opposite Jupiter], Judith now operates within the realm of the nation's administrative power [Saturn-Pluto] where battles are also the stuff of the day.

Her Pisces Sun and Mercury enable the unconscious traits and achillean denial to drown out reality. Guilt by omission tripped her up in March 2014

Why did this all blow up in March 2014?
The position of Neptune now in the solar system is 5 Pisces
Anybody on the planet affected by that energy point with have some manifest effects as determined by their own unique template.
With the core of her planetary energy in the range from 1-7 degrees, transiting Neptune is in domino mode, setting off a chain reaction which goes to the heart of who Judith Collins is and who, at a higher level of consciousness, she could be.
This is undeniably a wake-up call -and not just a pot-hole in the road - Judith Collins needs to give this personal readjustment issue high priority in the extended timeframe to the end of 2015 -or more will come back to bite her.

Recommendations from an elder: Judith Collins needs to do those hardest of things. Back down, retreat, reflect, resolve to be a better person

Feb 13 2018
With the political coup finally disposing of Bill English as opposition leader on this day - after the party's election loss in September 2017 and the rise of Labour under Jacinda Ardern - Judith Collins is seen as a credible candidate.

Having looked at her current influences, compared to her birthdate of Feb 24 1959 it is clear that she has very strong support from the cosmos -effectively her time has come
