The Astrology of the UK Labour Party.

Ed Milliband.

Ed Miliband's electionSeptember 25th 2010 as the 17th leader of the Labour Party went

down to the wire, his victory over his elder brother, David, all the more painful

because it was by such a slender margin. Just 50.65 per cent to 49.35 per cent.

We have no birth time for this subject. Ed (24 Dec 1969) was born at the

Full Moon in Cancer and is Sun Capricorn trine Saturn in Taurus. He has

a 'planetary kite' pattern focused on the Sun and Moon and a grand

trine in water involving Mars, Moon and Jupiter. This is a high destiny

but sober and practical chart with a reforming zeal. There is a soulful

and solid feel to this chart.

Gordon Brown.

The Astrological Horoscope

of Gordon Brown.

Gordon Brown was born some 37 hours before a Lunar Eclipse. The Eclipse itself is remarkable because it is the very final eclipse in its Saros Series. Take a look at the diagram below.

As can be seen this eclipse was a tiny grazing penumbral eclipse. It lasted less than 30 minutes. It was number 84 of 84 in Saros Series 103. Being born in the build up to such a rare astronomical event may confer on this man an important destiny. This is outside of my experience and we can all await with greater interest the unfolding of his life story and see how it relates to this 'end of ends' eclipse.

Gordon Brown has a Piscean Sun. He can be described spiritually as an old soul. The gibbous nearly Full Moon at his birth was in Leo. It is natural for him to lead, he enjoys the limelight.

He has no major planet in an Earth sign. A Capricorn mid heaven compensates but he will need support from earthy individuals. Tony Blair of course is an Earth sign. g

At the moment of his birth Saturn and Pluto were setting on the horizon of his birth place Glasgow. Uranus was on the IC there. This adds even more weight to the sense of destiny in this man's chart.

There is a 'mystic rectangle' and a 'finger of fate' in the skies at his birth time. More and more curious! Its almost 'Gordon in wonderland'.

The planet Saturn was aligned exactly opposite the direction of Tehran at his birth. Jupiter was aligned to Ridyh, Uranus to Madrid. It remains to be seen the part he has to play in the destiny of these capital cities.

In April 2004 Gordon's progressed Moon was at First Quarter phase in Cancer. This waxing progressed Moon enters Leo, his natal Moon sign, on 30th October 2004. A 'crisis in action' has been the hallmark in the first part of 2004, we gather from the news the impression of an ambitious prime minister-to-be, frustrated and hopeful, waiting in the wings, pacing the halls of Westminster, at loggerheads at times with Tony Blair. From October 2004 with his progressed Moon in Leo his need for leadership will start to reach a crescendo.

Neptune by transit is dominant in 2004 as the planet opposes his natal Moon in Feb.., Sept. and Nov. This transit really does muddy the waters. Uncertainty, conflict, misunderstanding and mistrust may flow from its influence.

In 2005 Neptune will conjunct Gordon's Mercury in mid Aquarius. More glamour, inspiration, wonderment and curious destiny to follow.
