Strictly Come Dancing 2023 – Part 3<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There are some contestants who have been eliminated who I did not get around to analysing before they were gone:\u00a0 Eddie Kadi, Zara McDermott, Les Dennis, Nikita Kanda and Jody Cundy.<\/p>\n

There are two I predicted would not make it to the final, who have been eliminated: Krishnan Guru-Murthy, and Adam Thomas.<\/p>\n

There was one that I correctly predicted would leave for personal reasons: Amanda Abbington<\/p>\n

That only leaves two for this final blog!\u00a0 Angela Scanlon and Layton Williams:<\/p>\n

Angela Scanlon<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Angela Scanlon first caught my attention as the presenter of Your Home Made Perfect, though apparently she has worked a great deal in fashion.\u00a0 She has a distinctive personality and sense of humour (Jupiter in Sagittarius).\u00a0 With Mercury in Capricorn she can have a dry wit, and Moon in Scorpio gives it an acerbic edge.\u00a0 Her sharp enthusiasm, from Mars sextile Jupiter, comes across in the home renovation programme.\u00a0 Uranus conjunct the South Node in Sagittarius suggests adventurous past lives.\u00a0 I have greatly enjoyed her dancing, and still hope that she can wow the judges even more than she has done, although she did come top of the leaderboard one week, and her paso doble last night did<\/em> wow the judges.\u00a0 There was a bit of controversy about her legs – this week Craig said they weren’t supple enough, yet in an earlier week he praised her knees (Capricorn, her Sun sign, rules both the legs and the knees).\u00a0 Her current transits show Sun\/Mars on her Venus (sensuality heightened), Neptune square her Jupiter (feverishness, though her natal conjunctio of those two planets will help her balance the square) and Pluto trine Chiron (deep healing).\u00a0 That all sounds good.\u00a0 The end of the contest finds her with: Saturn trine Pluto and Neptune still square her Jupiter.\u00a0 These are not brilliant transits, but I still hold out hope.\u00a0 She is partnered with Carlos Gu<\/strong>.\u00a0 I did not have his birth date last year, and it still doesn’t appear online.\u00a0 Therefore I can’t analyse his transits, or their chemistry.<\/p>\n

Layton Williams<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

At this stage, Layton Williams looks like a dead cert for the final.\u00a0 At the age of twelve he appeared on stage as Billy Elliot.\u00a0 However, his history of experience in dance has proved controversial, as against someone like Ellie Leach who has not danced before.\u00a0 His birth chart is complex, and includes the early 90s conjunction of Uranus and Neptune in Capricorn.\u00a0 He is high on emotion (5 Water planets), and his Sun is in Virgo sextile Mars (great energy).\u00a0 More importantly, his Sun trines the conjunction of Uranus and Neptune, and I believe this is his great power.\u00a0 His chart speaks a lot of leadership and showmanship (5 Cardinal planets, Sun sextile North Node, Mars exactly trine the North Node).\u00a0 The Sun conjunct Chiron suggests he tended to have felt himself to be an outsider, but indicates ability as a problem-solver.\u00a0 With the Moon closely sextile Venus, he is at home with the female side of life, and is close to his mum (dedicating his dances to her).\u00a0 Where his weaknesses lie may be through having 0 Fire planets (perhaps an underlying lack of confidence), but also Mercury square Mars (irritability).\u00a0 Both those are counterbalanced by a Water trine of Mars and Jupiter, like Angela bestowing energy allied with enthusiasm.\u00a0 Although Angela has Jupiter in Sagittarius, which is strong, her sextile between these two planets is a weaker force than the trine which Layton has.\u00a0 An additional opposition of Uranus to Layton’s Mars gives an electrical quality to his energy, but may from time to time make him accident-prone (hopefully not during this season of Strictly).\u00a0 His transits now show Uranus trine his natal Sun (a spectacular time), Jupiter sextile his Saturn (very balanced within himself), the Nodal Axis square his Uranus (capacity to surprise, or shock), Uranus trine his Neptune (heightened ability to command complexity), Mars on his Pluto (slight aspect of danger), and Neptune trine his natal Pluto (accessing the depths of his nature).\u00a0 That’s a lot!\u00a0 At the final he will still have Uranus trine his Sun (a great asset), Nodal Axis square his Uranus, Uranus trine his Neptune and Neptune trine his Pluto.\u00a0 A strong set of transits.<\/p>\n

He is partnered with Nikita Kuzmin<\/strong>.\u00a0 In 2021 I wrote of him: “He has an unaspected Sun in Capricorn, which may mean he is a free spirit.\u00a0 His Moon is in musical Libra, and he has a dynamic conjunction of Mars, Venus and Uranus in Aquarius.”\u00a0 Their chemistry shows up Nikita’s Mars square Layton’s Venus (magnetism) and Nikita’s Saturn opposite Layton’s Mercury (Nikita conferring mental discipline on Layton) it is true that Layton has trained exceptionally hard (and he is a Virgoan perfectionist).\u00a0 Nikita’s current transits show Uranus square his Jupiter (accentuating the power to surprise and pushing the boundaries) and Pluto on his Neptune (a psychological stretching), which seems a fair portrayal of what is going on.\u00a0 At the end of the series, he will have Saturn sextile his Sun (a controlled success), Uranus still square his Jupiter, but also a double whammy because Jupiter will in addition be squaring his Uranus (this could betoken something exceptional, for a gay dance couple to win would be a first) plus Pluto still on his Neptune.\u00a0 Strong transits for both of them.<\/p>\n

Sorry this blog is so short this week, but hopefully sweet.\u00a0 Astrologically, the three for the final would be Ellie, Layton and Bobby.\u00a0 But Bobby seems to be on the middle ground consistently.\u00a0 I would love Nigel and Angela S to be up there, too.\u00a0 Keep watching!<\/em><\/p>\n

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

Tomorrow gifts us with a sextile between the Sun and Pluto.\u00a0 This can bring powerful help.\u00a0 If you dig deep, you can find the treasure you need.\u00a0 It is a profound aspect which may help to show us the direction we need to solve our collective problems, and understanding the meaning behind our dilemmas.\u00a0 This sextile can bring a profound air of quiet contemplation.\u00a0 Use the opportunity of this aspect to strengthen your situation…<\/p>\n

Mercury trines Chiron on Tuesday (21st), so the day has real healing potential.\u00a0 This aspect is all about finding solutions, especially in health matters.\u00a0 Mercury trine Chiron describes healing on a mental level (positive thinking, writing and affirmations), and helps to combine conventional and alternative or complementary healing approaches.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday (22nd) we have a sextile between Mars and Pluto so\u00a0 you may have the energy to push through a pet project.\u00a0 It is a dynamic and active aspect, and you may find yourself spontaneously clearing clutter.\u00a0 That aspect occurs in the early hours, so you could have lively dreams!<\/p>\n

Late lunchtime sees the Sun enter Sagittarius. This event ushers in the general festive pre-Christmas season of Sagittarius. ‘Tis the season to be jolly, at least in the preparation and anticipation of Christmas.\u00a0 Christmas itself comes under the sobriety of Sun in Capricorn.\u00a0 Your enthusiasm and preparations now can help create and inject warmth into the big day, in advance.\u00a0 Sagittarius also represents philosophy, working out your ethics, values and how you feel about the meaning of life, and religion.<\/p>\n

Later in the day Chiron opposes Venus, so that may bring up issues which need healing.\u00a0 It may be a case of “Now I am nice and settled, what is next for me to deal with?”.\u00a0 The issues may be connected with one’s inner female, or one’s relationships.\u00a0 It may be an artistic conundrum.<\/p>\n

We have a square on Thursday (23rd), that between the Sun and Saturn.\u00a0 This may bring disappointing or deflating news, \u00a0delay or frustration.\u00a0 There is no shortage of such material on our news programmes, certainly.\u00a0 The Sun-Saturn square is an opportunity to think through what you are doing, and your strategies.\u00a0 If you are making economies, are they the right ones, based on your optimum values?<\/p>\n

Friday (24th) brings another ingress, that of Mars into Sagittarius.\u00a0 This is quite a bright note.\u00a0 Mars tends to be intense and combative in Scorpio, so in Sagittarius it can use its energy differently; it has permission to be an Adventurer!\u00a0 A new fitness regime would have added gusto at this time, or the mental gymnastics of a new philosophical study.\u00a0 Mars is in Sagittarius until 4th January, so for the rest of the year you have permission to challenge yourself, in a good way.<\/p>\n

There could be a glitch in this strategy however at the outset, for on Saturday (25th) Saturn squares Mars.\u00a0 This can bring awkwardness – for example, physically you may want to push an issue, but that approach may not work.\u00a0 Think before you act, to avoid clumsiness.\u00a0 It may be difficult to obtain co-operation (e.g. on worldwide climate agreements).\u00a0 An example of this energy is that a friend of mine got stuck in a car park on this aspect, when it occurred two years ago.\u00a0 You may experience fatigue, including compassion fatigue, discouragement, and a feeling of not having accomplished all you set out to do in the day.\u00a0 But, tomorrow is another day…<\/p>\n
