Angela Merkel<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

With an election in Germany today, Angela Merkel is set to break records in possibly winning a third term at the helm of a country which is indisputedly leading Europe, especially in industry and finance.\u00a0 She is also an incredible role model for women aspiring for strong and successful leadership roles.<\/p>\n

Strong Woman of Europe<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

If she succeeds in today\u2019s election, she will break Margaret Thatcher\u2019s record as Europe\u2019s longest-serving female leader, worthy of the title \u201cIron Lady\u201d.\u00a0 So, although I have written about her before, I am reviewing her chart today.\u00a0 First of all, with Sun conjunct Uranus she is a one-off.\u00a0 Secondly, with four planets plus the Part of Fortune and the South Node in Cancer, she is a role model for women.\u00a0 Thirdly, with North Node in Capricorn on the cusp of her 2nd<\/sup> House of Money, her Karmic Mission is as a fiscal authority, setting the rules and regulations for a continent, with debt-ridden countries in the palm of\u00a0 her hand.\u00a0 She has the brilliance of Jupiter and Sun\/Uranus in the 8th<\/sup> House which represents dealings with other people\u2019s money.\u00a0 There is a sense of mystery about her, columns of newspaper devoted to analyzing who she is exactly and what makes her tick \u2013 this is shown by Neptune at her Midheaven, and like Obama she has Sun square Neptune.\u00a0 The questions range from whether she is ruthless or or a super diplomat. \u00a0\u00a0She certainly makes use of her Cancerian senses and resourcefulness, and perhaps an element of luck from her Sagittarian Ascendant.\u00a0 She also has great physical and psychological power, with Mars trine Pluto.<\/p>\n

Her Chancellorship<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

On 22 November 2005 Angela Merkel was appointed as Germany\u2019s first female Chancellor, when transiting Pluto was exactly trine her natal Pluto (coming into her power).\u00a0 As I pointed out in earlier blogs:<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026natally she has Mars at the Galactic Centre, so she has leadership of Europe but also access to a more cosmic wisdom than maybe even she realizes.\u00a0 \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

and<\/p>\n

\u201cAngela is personally in tune with the European Union chart, having Mars conjunct its Mercury (able to act on its behalf) and Moon conjunct its Venus (she has her heart in it).\u201d<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s Election<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

She has a mixed set of aspects for this election (the most difficult being Pluto opposing her Mercury), but with the transitting Sun exactly sextile the Sun in the chart of her initial coming to power, that is likely to signal a continuity.\u00a0 There is talk that she may have to share leadership in a coalition, and that too may be a feature of the coming year.\u00a0 Saturn and Pluto are sextile this weekend, favouring stability and diplomacy.\u00a0 However, Saturrn exerts more pressure on her at the end of October when it crosses into her 12th<\/sup> House of Unconscious, and in January\/February 2015 Pluto will be transiting her 2nd<\/sup> House cusp and North Node,\u00a0 which will be a very challenging time for holding on to power.<\/p>\n

Aspects<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Happy Autumn Equinox to all my readers today!\u00a0 The timing in the U.K. for this event (the Sun entering Libra) is 8.44 pm if you want to rustle leaves under foot in the smoky Autumn evening air, to the sound of urban foxes.\u00a0 I don\u2019t suffer from winter depression, and I like the Autumn colours, but I always have a sense of mourning at the passing of the Spring and Summer at the Autumn Equinox, so it is probably as much the nadir of my lyricism as it was the zenith of Keats\u2019 lyricism.\u00a0 The Sun entering Libra is a pleasant enough prospect, bringing as it does a mellow, harmonious vibe conducive to artistic and musical design, and an air of romance and people making an effort to get along with each other.<\/p>\n

And really we have a quiet and smooth looking week, with \u00a0a bright aspect on Thursday (26th<\/sup>), which is Venus trine Jupiter.\u00a0 This is a celebratory aspect, good for celebrating the harvest, but also for weddings, engagements or proposals.<\/p>\n

I have written a whole blog on this aspect:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.lanawooster.co.uk\/blog\/2012\/11\/aspect-for-the-week-beginning-4-november-2012\/<\/a><\/p>\n

And here is an excerpt:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis aspect therefore provides\u00a0 a suitable time and opportunity to\u00a0augment and sharpen your philosophy of life counter to the current\u00a0trend of cynicism. You may be able to put together a workshop or\u00a0gathering at short notice of like minded people or Lightworkers.<\/p>\n

Above all, it is a day of hope.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Saturday (28th<\/sup>) the week\u2019s jewel of an aspect (Venus trine Jupiter) \u00a0is only slightly tarnished by a square between Venus and Mars.\u00a0 There may be a slight dent in your post-Thursday euphoria, but don\u2019t let it spoil your week.\u00a0 An aggressive type might make an unwelcome comment such as \u201cyour wedding veil was not the height of fashion\u201d or \u201cI see that you have a new wrinkle\u201d, but in the scheme of things it may only be a minor skirmish.\u00a0 Watch for inappropriate advances, and nip them in the bud is my advice to you.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, a serene week\u2026<\/p>\n
