At the beginning of this week, it does look as though David Cameron has the edge, but there is still a chance of a hung parliament and\/or a coalition force.\u00a0 Of the three PM\/Chancellor combinations the Nick Clegg\/Vince Cable dream team may look the most appealing.\u00a0 But the astrological picture does still look very even-handed. By Friday evening (7<sup>th<\/sup>) the mood is mellower, almost celebratory, with a sextile between Venus and Mars.\u00a0 Perhaps that speaks of the harmony of a three-way balance, with the Conservatives and Labour conceding that they would have to now be nice to the Lib Dems again.\u00a0 If it should mean the demise of our Prime Minister Gordon Brown may I just say he is likely to go down as well-meaning (Sun in Pisces) but a little unlucky (Saturn conjunct the Part of Fortune), having had to wait (Saturn\/Part of Fortune) for a chance to prove himself, and being beset by many crises out of his control.\u00a0 Jeremy Paxman was absolutely merciless in his interview this week, but Gordon did venture a few refrains of \u201cCome on Jeremy, you know full well it wasn\u2019t like that\u2026\u201d\u00a0 And as for Greece, in the 1974 chart of the country, Pluto is currently squaring their Moon\/Pluto in the 4<sup>th<\/sup> House (civil unrest).\u00a0 When I was a University student in the late \u201860s, early 70s, we used to go around wearing \u201cFree Greece\u201d badges, without necessarily understanding the issues\u2026And what is it with the national karma between us that we are hanging on to their Elgin Marbles\u2026?\u00a0 One of the most beautiful products of their finest Age, and we can\u2019t let go of them.\u00a0 Maybe Germany could buy them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greece is the word\u2026In European affairs this week it has been Greece as the Plutonian influence which has upset the delicate balance of the Saturn-Uranus applecart.\u00a0 We are told that the whole European economy is threatened by this, and are pinning our hopes on the responsible Saturn structure of the German economy.\u00a0 Meanwhile the applecart [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-596","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-astrology"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/596","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=596"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/596\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=596"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=596"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.lanawooster.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
