Strictly Come Dancing 2019 – Part 4<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And so to the rest of the competitors in what has been an amazing series so far.\u00a0 And it is last, but not least…<\/p>\n

Karim Zeroual<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I was bowled over the first time I saw this 19-year old CBeebies presenter dance; he had such a sense of style and physical awareness.\u00a0 Although I felt Michelle Visage had excellent transits for the competition, he won my heart, and continues to do so.<\/p>\n

Karim has an amazing chart, but no birth time to fine tune our understanding.\u00a0 He has 5 (half), possibly 6 (over half), of his planets in Scorpio, which is unusual.\u00a0 Scorpios have an amazing ability to take up challenges, and you can’t get much more Scorpionic than that!\u00a0 His Sun squares closely Saturn – so there is hope for all of us yet who have Sun square Saturn, as he seems to have a capacity to overcome such a handicap.\u00a0 With the Sun sextile Uranus, he is innovative.\u00a0 He also has Sun sextile Neptune – that boy can dance!\u00a0 The Sun conjunct Pluto in Scorpio takes the depth of character to a whole new level.\u00a0 Mercury conjunct exactly Venus gives him a way with words, while Mercury conjunct Jupiter increases intelligence, and the ability for rapid learning.\u00a0 Mercury sextile Chiron enables him to be a problem-solver.\u00a0 Mars exactly conjunct the North Node points to the Warrior Archetype, and Uranus exactly conjunct Neptune in Capricorn enables him to understand complex systems.<\/p>\n

His transits for the results show tonight show Jupiter sextile his natal Saturn closely, a steady transit, but believe it or not, he hasn’t peaked yet!\u00a0 For around the time of the final for the series Jupiter sextiles his natal Uranus – a wonderful surprise is in store! Jupiter will also sextile his natal Neptune, a sublime, and euphoric experience.\u00a0 But Saturn square Jupiter will be a slight fly in the ointment – some drawback or something to attend to in his personal life, or possibly even\u00a0 not sure about his life being under more scrutiny due to his success.<\/p>\n

As for his partner, Amy Dowden<\/u>, this is the first time I look at her chart.\u00a0 At 21 she is herself very young, only 2 years older than Karim, so she is an incredible talent.\u00a0 Her chart has various similarities to Karim’s, which is interesting.\u00a0 With the Sun and Moon in Leo, she was born on or around a New Moon.\u00a0 Sun conjunct Jupiter makes her extremely positive, and a bouncy personality.\u00a0 Her Sun is exactly square Pluto, so she can take on Karim’s strong Scorpio nature.\u00a0 She has Mercury exactly conjunct Venus, exactly like Karim, they must have very good communication between them.\u00a0 Her conjunction is in Virgo.\u00a0 The double sextile formed by the relationship between their conjunctions is exact, too!\u00a0 Mercury trine Uranus bestows a brilliant mind (her choreography has been superb.\u00a0 Last night the dance was criticized for not being a classic paso doble, and she admitted she had taken a creative risk).\u00a0 Mars closely trine Neptune indicates a sensitivity in movement, an asset in dance.\u00a0 A sextile between Mars and Pluto brings huge energy.\u00a0 Mars trine closely the North Node means that, like Karim, she also has the Warrior Archetype, together they are going in to win!\u00a0 And Neptune conjunct the North Node in Capricorn, shows her karmic mission in dance.<\/p>\n

In their synastry, their Mercuries are exactly sextile: a sign of perfect communication.\u00a0 Amy’s Jupiter squares Karim’s Sun – she gets the best out of him.\u00a0 Her Jupiter opposes his Saturn, so helps him to overcome his natal Sun-Saturn square.\u00a0 At the moment, Neptune opposes her Mars, while Mars squares her Neptune – her judgement may be slightly off kilter.\u00a0 Jupiter exactly trines her Jupiter, bringing great success.\u00a0 Chiron sextiles her natal Saturn, so she is working out problems.\u00a0 And Saturn is on her Neptune – she is trying to pin down an aspect of dance.<\/p>\n

At the final, she will have Jupiter on her Pluto – Empowerment!\u00a0 Uranus will also be closely sextile her Uranus, bringing her to the verge of great success (if not taking her actually there).\u00a0 If they win, she will have more opportunities.<\/p>\n

Saffron Barker<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

You-Tuber\/Vlogger Saffron Barker is also 19, and rising rapidly up the ranks in her performances.\u00a0 She has Sun in Leo, and a triple conjunction of the Sun\/Mars\/North Node, another Warrior on the dance floor.\u00a0 The Sun sextile her Jupiter makes her another super positive personality.\u00a0 She has Jupiter conjunct Saturn, which is a complex conjunction that can provide balance, or sometimes stagnation (cancelling each other out).\u00a0 With the Sun opposite Neptune, dance may be in her DNA.\u00a0 And with the Sun loosely conjunct the North Node, performing is definitely in her DNA.\u00a0 Mercury unaspected may make her a free thinker.\u00a0 Venus trine Pluto gives her strong feelings, Mars sextile Saturn provides the capacity for controlled movement.\u00a0 Jupiter exactly trine Neptune means she is capable of transcendent emotion – her modern freestyle performance of an earlier week was hailed as inspired.<\/p>\n

Her transits at the moment show the North Node on her natal Mercury in Cancer, developing her concentration.\u00a0 And Uranus squares her natal Neptune, challenging her to take on greater complexity.\u00a0 At or around the final (I do not have the exact date of it), Mars squares her Sun and Saturn opposes her Sun, while Pluto opposes her Mercury and Neptune squares her Jupiter; her transits therefore are not encouraging.\u00a0 Perhaps injury hampers her performance, or maybe she will peak for a while, then plateau.<\/p>\n

Her partner is the youthful looking Scorpio A.J. Pritchard.<\/u>\u00a0 Their synastry is not so remarkable, although their chemistry seems good on screen.\u00a0 His Mercury is square her Nodal Axis, so they may have a brotherly and sisterly karma.\u00a0 His transits currently shows Pluto on his Neptune, so psychologically he has a lot going on right now.\u00a0 At the time of the final, Pluto sextiles his Sun, so he may resolve a deep personal issue around that time; Uranus will be on his Venus, so his love life will be lively (he currently has a girlfriend).\u00a0 He could do well, but in relation to Saffron’s transits, the prospect does not look promising.\u00a0 However, they seem likely to make it to Blackpool week.<\/p>\n

Chris Ramsey<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Comedian Chris Ramsey is another performing Sun in Leo.\u00a0 He has 0 planets in Air, so functions very instinctively.\u00a0 He has Mercury exactly sextile Venus, so is another character with a way with words!\u00a0 His Mercury trines Jupiter, so he has a wide ranging mind too.\u00a0 Jupiter squares his Uranus, so he likes to take a chance in life and likes to take risks.\u00a0 Together with Chiron, the opposition forms a T-square, so he does struggle sometimes.<\/p>\n

Currently, his transits include the South Node on his Mars, so there may be a struggle in matters of movement!\u00a0 He also has Jupiter square his Jupiter, plenty of enthusiasm, but perhaps over-expectation.\u00a0 Chiron trines his Saturn, which will keep him stable, but it also squares his Neptune so there may also be tears or regrets.\u00a0 With Uranus exactly opposing his Pluto to the day, he looks set to go out in tonight’s results show.<\/p>\n

At the time of the final the Nodal Axis squares his Sun, karmic support is not there for him; Neptune squares his Saturn, again there may be tears or regrets.\u00a0 Neptune sextiles his Neptune, enabling him to be spiritually more balanced, and Neptune trines his Pluto, so he will be philosophical too.<\/p>\n

His partner, Karen Clifton<\/u> , now sporting a mohawk-style haircut, has recently reverted to the name Karen Hauer, following her split from husband Kevin Clifton.\u00a0 In their chemistry, her Mars sextiles his Saturn, so she is able to instruct him well.\u00a0 But her Mars also squares his Neptune, so she can confuse him at times, too!\u00a0 Her Saturn sextiles his Uranus and trines his Chiron, which are both positive for instruction.\u00a0 Her Uranus\u00a0 on his Saturn and her Pluto square his Mercury can be hard for him to cope with though.\u00a0 And with her Pluto on his South Node, their karma can be quite dramatic, whether past life or present.\u00a0 Her current transits show Chiron opposite her Mars, a possible healing crisis.\u00a0 That also indicates that the pair might go out of the contest this weekend.\u00a0 At the end of the contest, she has Uranus opposite her Mercury (nervously wrung out), and Neptune square her Uranus (too much complexity on her mind).\u00a0 I would not be surprised if this partnership did not survive much longer.<\/p>\n

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

Based on my four blogs on the subject, and attentive viewing, I would think that Karim, Michelle and Kelvin would be the finalists.<\/p>\n

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

Today, Saturn squares Mars, which is a bit clumsy for dance prospects, if you were planning such moves.\u00a0 The square may produce some tension.\u00a0 Be aware of the effect of your actions on others.\u00a0 There may be a block, impasse or obstruction occurring, either\u00a0 literally or metaphorically – an immovable object meeting an unstoppable force, perhaps, or even a stoppable force.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow (Monday, 28th) \u00a0there is a New Moon in Scorpio.\u00a0 This can be a sign of Regeneration, but with Uranus opposing the conjunction of the Sun and Moon, the change may be uncomfortable or sudden.\u00a0 There may be a certain amount of letting go required, before the fresh start can be established.<\/p>\n

The opposition of Uranus with the Sun will require new insight, resolve and conviction.\u00a0 You have to get with the programme, or be left behind.\u00a0 Maybe you are challenged by an upgrade on your phone, and can’t use it until you sort it out!<\/p>\n

Wednesday (30th) is more congenial, with Mercury conjunct Venus at 27 degrees Scorpio.\u00a0 <\/strong>This is a splendid literary and cultural aspect.\u00a0 It is also a good day for negotiation (take note politicians and diplomats).\u00a0 Create something beautiful and harmonious.<\/p>\n

Mercury goes stationary, prior to turning retrograde on Thursday (31st), Halloween and Brexit Day.\u00a0 The previous day’s Mercury-Venus conjunction will have been useful for negotiation, but is not likely to produce miracles.\u00a0 Certainly it is likely to be a jittery day, as it has been in the collective unconscious for a long time as being a possible cliff edge which no one can know the effects of.\u00a0 The usual rules apply for Mercury Retrograde: keep your communications clear, and read the small print.\u00a0 On the last occasion Mercury went retrograde, our sat nav took us down a cul de sac!\u00a0 I am sure you have your own Mercury retrograde stories to tell.\u00a0 In case you are counting the days, Mercury goes Direct again on 20th November.\u00a0 Use this as a learning period for what works and what doesn’t work for you under Mercury retrograde periods, as we all respond in our individual ways.<\/p>\n

On Friday (1st November) we have a change of social mood, with Venus entering Sagittarius.\u00a0 That’s a “let’s get the party started” state of mind.\u00a0 Let your love flow.\u00a0 Venus will be in Sagittarius until 26th November, so this is a good period to plan Christmas festivities or winter holidays. \u00a0\u00a0Be of good cheer.<\/p>\n
