Monsieur Francois Hollande<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

President Hollande of France has been trying to keep his private life from intruding on his public life, with the alleged revelation of an affair with a French actress going back 2 years.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0The British media wonder whether the French are traditionally more relaxed about the private lives of their public figures.\u00a0 He is a Leo Sunsign, with a Gemini Ascendant (the desire to keep more than one string to his bow).\u00a0 He loves to be the centre of attention politically, but with Moon in Capricorn likes to keep his women private…He has a complex exact T-square between Uranus, Chiron and Neptune.\u00a0\u00a0 But his Mars square Venus shows perhaps some emotional immaturity and lack of sensitivity in relationships.\u00a0 He has Mercury on the I.C. (Imum Coelum), suggesting that he finds security in the rational.\u00a0 Apparently he likes to keep his mind compartmentalized.<\/p>\n

In this current scenario the French people have shown slightly more interest than usual in their premier\u2019s private life.\u00a0 That the current revelations have not been entirely damaging to him is down to transiting Uranus trine his natal Mercury and transiting Neptune trine his natal Saturn, two protective trines.\u00a0 However Pluto is approaching his natal North Node, and reality may bite when this transit peaks in late February, and when Uranus squares this point mid-April of this year.<\/p>\n

Segolene Royal<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

He wasn\u2019t always so fickle.\u00a0 For 30 years his partner was fellow politician Segolene Royal, with whom he has four children.\u00a0 Her Ascendant is conjunct with Hollande\u2019s Midheaven, so they had a long and active political life together.\u00a0 Her Jupiter in 5th<\/sup> House of children reflects the large family they had.\u00a0 She has Venus conjunct Pluto in her 7th<\/sup> House of Marriage, which portrays a huge upheaval of a significant relationship.\u00a0 In their synastry, they had a very practical working partnership based on\u00a0 a double whammy of Segolene\u2019s \u00a0Mars closely sextile Francois\u2019 Saturn, and Francois\u2019 Mars exactly sextile Segolene\u2019s Saturn.<\/p>\n

Valerie Trierweiler <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Journalist Valerie Trierweiler was described by Francois Holland as the love of his life, and installed as First Lady when he was elected President.\u00a0 She has in her chart a depressive exact opposition between the Moon and Saturn, which may have been triggered by recent events, which necessitated\u00a0 a spell in hospital.\u00a0 She also has Mercury square closely Neptune, which can bring mental overwhelm at times.\u00a0 There is also some woundedness from past lives with her Chiron square her Nodal Axis.\u00a0 The two of them are (or were) dynamic together, with her Mars sextile exactly his Uranus, her Jupiter exactly square his Sun, her Jupiter trine exactly his Moon (thank God the French have exact birth times), their Jupiters exactly sextile, and\u00a0 her Uranus trine exactly his North Node.\u00a0 They would have felt able to conquer the world together, in their initial connection.\u00a0 Sadly though for Valerie, Julie Gayet may have been already in the wings even as she was installed as First Lady.\u00a0 This current crisis has hit Valerie\u2019s Mercury (mind) from a squared Saturn (depression). Jupiter is currently sextile her Pluto. So she will be receiving help.<\/p>\n

Julie Gayet<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Enter the picture second mistress, actress Julie Gayet.\u00a0 She has a strong destiny, with Pluto exactly trine her North Node, and Uranus exactly trine her Midheaven (surprise changes of fortune and life direction).\u00a0 She has Mars exactly square Uranus, so there is always a lot going on in her life.\u00a0 And she has Mercury conjunct Saturn, so may also be no stranger to depression.\u00a0 Her Venus trines Hollande\u2019s Saturn, so there is some loyalty there, between them.\u00a0 His Moon-Jupiter opposition favourably contacts her Ascendant, so living together may be successful.\u00a0 Her Neptune trines exactly his Venus, so it would be easy for him to put her on a pedestal.\u00a0 Would that pedestal be that of First Lady?\u00a0 She has some favourable aspects at the time of the revelation, suggesting she may have been personally pleased or relieved that the knowledge became public. \u00a0Neptune, the planet of scandal, was squaring exactly her own Neptune, so confusion in her life was also happening.<\/p>\n

February 11th<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n

What are the prospects for the date he has given for sorting out the status of First Lady, when he goes to Washington?\u00a0 By then, Pluto will already be on his North Node (it\u2019s a long transit), so it will be a momentous time for him, in terms of decision and destiny.\u00a0 Uranus will be trine exactly Valerie Trierweiler\u2019s Ascendant, so a time of change for her.\u00a0 It occurs on her 9th<\/sup> House cusp, so one could not rule out an exciting foreign trip for her.\u00a0 Mars will be trine Julie Gayet\u2019s Moon, so she may be putting a lot of energy into domestic affairs.\u00a0 But Neptune will be trine her Venus, so idealized love will still be high on her agenda, inwardly at least.\u00a0 It will be interesting to see what arrangement Hollande comes to.<\/p>\n

France<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

What of the all important relationship between Hollande and France?\u00a0 His Uranus trines exactly its Mars, so he may eventually stimulate the economy.\u00a0 But his Saturn exactly conjuncts its Jupiter, so in other respects his policies may be demotivating.\u00a0 Both the Jupiter and the Mars in the French chart are in the 10th<\/sup> House of reputation, so he may have some impact in this way.\u00a0 The time of the scandal, and therefore the impact of the scandal, on France is also mixed.\u00a0\u00a0 Saturn transiting the 10th<\/sup> House of reputation creates an exact T-square with France\u2019s own Uranus-Pluto opposition. \u00a0\u00a0National characteristics are being analysed, and may be changing.<\/p>\n

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

The Sun enters Aquarius tomorrow, which coming after Friday’s Mercury sextile Uranus, may consolidate a fresh new outlook,\u00a0 and regimes. Be guided by your intuition (as always) and honour any\u00a0new ideas which have come to you in the last few days, for\u00a0 they may be presentiments of the future.\u00a0 You may be entering a new era or area of work.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday (22nd) these ideas may be tested out, with Sun squaring the Nodal Axis. The questions are: how sound are they karmically? What power play is taking place? Is one person hogging the limelight?\u00a0 You need to aim towards a karmic balance.<\/p>\n

On Friday (24th) Mercury trines Mars, best aspect of the week, with an emphasis on activity and mobility. If you have been held back recently, here is a window for moving two steps forward. It’s a\u00a0good day for travel, whether on your bike or in your car. Make the most of it.<\/p>\n

Did you spot the subliminal messages there? \u00a0Saturday (25th) brings almost a reversal, with Mercury square Saturn. One step back. Trains may be delayed, communications blocked. Be patient. If your train is delayed by an hour, you are entitled to compensation. Bring your compensation form ready with you, so that you can spend that hour constructively. Otherwise it will remain unfilled until the next\u00a0crisis, when you will remember…it”s all too easy to forget the lessons once the crisis has passed.\u00a0 Saturday\u2019s message is learning from experience.<\/p>\n
