Leveson Inquiry<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who is Lord Leveson, astrologically?\u00a0 Brian Leveson was asked by David Cameron on 13 July 2011 to conduct the Inquiry into the actions of the British Press, as a result of the phone-hacking scandal.\u00a0 Natally he has the Sun exactly conjunct Uranus (insightful) at the beginning of Cancer.\u00a0 He also has the critic\u2019s inquiring mind in the shape of Mars closely conjunct Mercury in Gemini.\u00a0 At the time of the choice, Neptune by transit was exactly trine Leveson\u2019s Sun\/Uranus conjunction, requiring his expertise in a sensitive large scale project.\u00a0 The Nodal Axis (karmic accountability) was squaring David Cameron\u2019s Uranus (need for a sudden decision).<\/p>\n

Andy Coulson Update<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It emerged in his appearance this week at the Leveson Inquiry, that Coulson was introduced to David Cameron by George Osborne.\u00a0 At the time Andy Coulson was brought into the Government as Director of Communications, it was his Uranus Opposition, a mid-life crisis point.\u00a0 He may not have realized it at the time.\u00a0 Uranus is currently shaking up his natal Saturn at the moment, but one of the questions dominating the minds of the media at the moment, is: \u201cHow good is his memory?\u201d\u00a0 Those questioned at the Inquiry, especially this week, seem to have fading memory syndrome.\u00a0 I associate the Moon (emotional memory) and Mercury (concentration) with memory in the birth chart, and he has these two planets in trine.\u00a0 Usually for poor memory I prescribe a combination of ginseng (for concentration) and gingko biloba (for memory), but astrologically he would not seem to need them.<\/p>\n

Rebekah Brooks Update<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Second up for the Leveson Inquiry this week was Rebekah Brooks, former newspaper Editor and CEO of News International.\u00a0 You would think that the high-powered positions, and the requirement of quick-thinking and being on top of the news would require a good memory (how could you do the job without it?), but she too appeared to be suffering from the same condition (FM syndrome) as Andy Coulson.\u00a0 Rebekah Brooks was born on a New Moon conjunct Mars in Gemini, the sign of newspapers.\u00a0 Uranus currently sextiles her Sun\/Moon, keeping her smiling during the Leveson Inquiry, though she was under pressure from Mars at the same time squaring her Sun\/Moon.\u00a0 The position of her natal Mars gives her Aries traits, including the trademark red hair, and with the Moon and Mercury in the sign of Gemini there is a superficial \u201chere today and gone tomorrow\u201d attitude towards information and memory.\u00a0 This is coupled with the Mars quality of living for the moment.\u00a0 Her chart would lend itself to letting go of information in her mind, but nevertheless she would have known what was important and held on to that.\u00a0 Her imagination (Moon conjunct Mars) is the type that would retain sensational highlights – a recipe for selectivity, perhaps? LOL ;-}<\/p>\n

The Aspects<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chiron is sextile Pluto now, which is very helpful in getting at those\u00a0stubborn, deep-seated healing and psychological issues from early on\u00a0in the day. Root out and inspect those fears first thing.\u00a0 At lunchtime, a lucky Sun-Jupiter conjunction may grant\u00a0you your wishes e.g. A spell of sunshine if you are hosting a\u00a0barbecue. It may also be materially lucky, being placed as it is in Taurus,\u00a0the sign of money. Take heed Jessie J (kerching!) or anyone inclined to\u00a0mixed or half-hearted messages on the subject. It’s a clarion call, in whatever house it falls in within your birthchart, and that may not be\u00a0about the money. But wait! There’s more that this day has to\u00a0offer. For in the evening Mercury trines Mars, so you may act mentally\u00a0or physically in the wake of the day’s good news or fortune. If you\u00a0have won the lottery, you will know what to spend it on. If not, you need to see your life in a more positive and expansive context now. If you have a\u00a0healing breakthrough, you may want to write about it. If it’s a great\u00a0love that you have found, you may want to radiate that out to others.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow Mercury trines Pluto in the morning, and you can take the action and thought from the previous day and turn it into a deeper awareness, and sense deeper possibilities.\u00a0 Later tomorrow Mercury is sextile with Chiron, so you have a complete set of healing tools that day: both physical and psychological. It\u2019s a good day for Homeopaths, dear reader.\u00a0 If you succeeded in healing missions on Sunday, you can take these a step further.\u00a0 It is a particularly good day for Geminis and Virgoans to co-ordinate their nervous systems and take the helm of new initiatives.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday (15th<\/sup>) Venus turns retrograde, and that is a signal to examine the past history of relationships.\u00a0 Perhaps someone is acting oddly around you, and you need that extra insight!<\/p>\n

Mars trines Pluto on Wednesday (16th<\/sup>) and this may provide the extra oomph you need to complete or continue a project.\u00a0 Certainly this completes a Grand Earth Trine of Mercury-Mars-Pluto, and may provide some with the excuse to strut their stuff a little too exuberantly, but Mind-Body-Spirit need to be balanced for the best results.<\/p>\n

The next day (Thursday, 17th<\/sup>) provides possibly the most challenging aspect, with Mars opposing Chiron.\u00a0 Chiron the Healer may be able to handle it, but Mars (the warrior, youngster or teen) may go off the rails a little, and need to be shown the woundedness in their interaction, so that they can make more conscious choices.\u00a0 Show the warrior, youngster or teen a peaceful space in the heart. \u00a0\u00a0If you are undergoing a medical procedure that day, hold in your mind the highest healing outcome.<\/p>\n
