Priti Patel: Boom and Bust

by Christina • November 8, 2017

In this era of crazy behaviour by politicians, when white is orange, and green is encyclopedia, the behaviour of British Minister for International Development Priti Patel still seems outré. This summer, the minister took a “holiday” in Israel — during which she had more than 10 unauthorised meetings with top Israeli officials including Bibi himself. She forgot to bring along anyone from the Foreign Office, and she forgot to take notes, and she forgot that Britain does not recognise the annexation of the Golan Heights. She also forgot to tell anyone else in government about her freelance expedition to the […]

The Election: Jam Tomorrow, Jam Yesterday

by Christina • June 7, 2017

“I’m sure I’ll take you with pleasure!” the Queen said. “Two pence a week, and jam every other day.” Alice couldn’t help laughing, as she said, “I don’t want you to hire me – and I don’t care for jam.” “It’s very good jam,” said the Queen. “Well, I don’t want any to-day, at any rate.” “You couldn’t have it if you did want it,” the Queen said. “The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday – but never jam to-day.” “It must come sometimes to ‘jam to-day’,” Alice objected. “No, it can’t,” said the Queen. “It’s jam every other […]

The UK : The Dark Lord Opposes The Moon

by Christina • May 24, 2017

I was about to post this piece yesterday morning when I heard the sad news about the attack in Manchester. The main victims so far seem to have been daughters and mothers. You will see that the subject of the piece is relevant to this attack. Keen watchers of the skies will know that the United Kingdom’s emotional, patriotic Moon in Cancer is under attack from Pluto, the Dark Lord of the Underworld, currently in Capricorn. Between March 2017 and November 2018, Pluto will oppose that Moon five times. That has never happened before to the United Kingdom, because this chart […]

Attack on Westminster

by Christina • March 22, 2017

Attacks in London today brought terror to the Mother of Parliaments. At least two people have been killed and many more have been badly injured after a car mowed down pedestrians on Westminster Bridge — and shortly afterwards, a man wielding a knife attacked police guarding the Houses of Parliament. One officer has been confirmed dead. One attacker was shot around 2.45pm. The car started mowing people down shortly after 2.30. Note the position of the Moon — which often triggers events. Also note 23° ASC, Uranus and Moon. The Moon has moved from Pluto conjunction to square Uranus. Mars on the MC. Note transiting Pluto to the […]

The Lonely Sun of Theresa May

by Christina • March 17, 2017

Theresa May became Britain’s second woman Prime Minister last summer, because there was no alternative. The rest of them had done each other in. She was the last woman standing, and the country breathed a collective sigh of relief when she stepped into the breach. She seemed capable, calm, reliable — and strangely familiar. The latter not just because of a faint resemblance to the last female PM, Mrs Thatcher (another Libran with Saturn in Scorpio), but because she appeared to embody a kind of British everywoman: the vicar, the headteacher, the local librarian, memsahib, head girl, a good sort, a brick. […]

The State We’re In

by Christina • July 20, 2016

“Society suddenly finds itself put back into a state of momentary barbarism; it appears as if a famine, a universal war of devastation, had cut off the supply of every means of subsistence; industry and commerce seem to be destroyed; and why? Because there is too much civilisation, too much means of subsistence, too much industry, too much commerce. The productive forces at the disposal of society no longer tend to further the development of the conditions of bourgeois property; on the contrary, they have become too powerful for these conditions. […] And how does the bourgeoisie get over these […]

Fate, Free Will and the Referendum

by Christina • June 24, 2016

Last night, I sat in one of the most magnificent private courtyards in Europe, listening to 200 musicians play the works of Ennio Morricone. The Italian composer, now 87 years old, conducted a huge choir and orchestra himself. The heavy rains were finished. The clouds parted, the sun set lemon and violet. The lake and its mysterious wooded island became silhouettes — and the music made us cry and cheer and stamp our feet. There were four encores. Beside me, a French student; behind me explained the films in London Italian. I heard the soft lisp of Greek and Spanish too while we […]

What Astrologers Are Saying About Brexit

by Christina • June 11, 2016

On June 23, the people of United Kingdom will go to the polls to make the most important collective decision of a lifetime. Should we stay in the European Union or should we go? The decision taken now could change the country’s future absolutely — probably not in the ways predicted by any politician — and set our course for the coming decades. You could look at a whole host of charts for clues to the outcome of the referendum: the Aries Ingress, the opening of the polls, the closing of the polls, the official start of the campaign, the announcement of […]

The European Union Chart: A Tough Summer

by Christina • May 6, 2016

I wrote to my friend Anton D’Abreu recently pointing out that the chart for the European Union was under a great deal of pressure during this Mars transit. Later this summer, Mars will station direct at 23° Scorpio nearly conjunct the EU Mars-Pluto conjunction. The Mars-Pluto conjunction exactly opposes the natal Moon in Taurus, which surely represents the stalwart citizens of Europe. That configuration has always seemed uncomfortably like a sign of power concentrated in the hands of the few against the many. Anton pointed out that the thing happening in the midst of this Mars Rx is the British referendum (June 23) […]
