Boris Johnson - Part 2

With Solar Arc Jupiter in a sextile aspect to Boris' natal Pluto, there was a danger of squandering potential success by using unscrupulous means. Conflict with authority, inflated sense of self-importance and traumatic losses are all indicated. Jupiter is also in a square aspect to his natal Ascendant bringing difficulty in reconciling the need for freedom with obligations to others. Both of these planetary influences will continue until 2024. 

Solar Arc Jupiter began to form a conjunction to Boris natal Midheaven this year. This aspect will be exact in 2023 and will continue throughout 2024 before ending in 2025. Although Jupiter is often seen to have a beneficial effect, it's actual function is to accentuate and amplify. Therefore, it often acts as a destructive influence by producing over-confidence leading to downfall. Former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher had this same influence - by transit - when she was forced to resign. 

With Solar Arc Saturn in opposition to his natal Moon until 2024, Boris will be reassessing past deeds and seeing himself in a more realistic light. This planetary influence will be very difficult for him emotionally. He will need to feel a sense of inner fulfillment in his work, but during this period he may experience conflict between the demands of his career, activities in the outside world, and his need for personal happiness. This planetary combination will bring a time of perspective during which he may need to make some adjustments to the organisation of his life. 

There are many aspects involving Uranus in Boris' chart this year, so it was no surprise that there would be a few sudden and shocking developments. Uranus brings change - whether you want it or not - and has a 'flip-over' effect turning a current situation on its head to suddenly become the opposite way around. This is exactly what has happened to Boris as his Solar Arc Uranus has been in conjunction to his natal Moon since 2020 and will continue until 2023, bringing unpredictable, disruptive but liberating experiences. He may not feel positive about his current situation right now but as the months roll by, he will realise that he has been set free from a restrictive environment. 

Boris' Solar Arc Ascendant will be in a square aspect to his natal Uranus until 2024 bringing a highly energetic but frustrating couple of years during which he will fight very hard to assert his independence and personal freedom. He'll be unwilling to conform to the expectations of other people and will be restless, impatient and impulsive when dealing with them. He will want to present himself as a unique individual and as a result he may act in outrageous ways. Relocation is likely too - and I don't just mean moving out of Number 10. There will be a lot more surprises to come during the next two years.

Boris Johnson

Today, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced his resignation.There's no doubt that Boris Johnson, like many other people at the top of their game and in a position of great status and authority, is extremely stubborn. In fact, an above average number of current world leaders have this trait in their natal charts: President Biden, President Macron, President Zelenskyy and more. Being stubborn is often perceived as something negative when it's actually the opposite. It provides tenacity - the ability to hold on, stand your ground, dig your heels in and refuse to be swayed by anyone or anything. It's this quality that has enabled all of the above people to reach their goals. Without tenacity, we would never have heard of them.

Transiting Pluto is currently in opposition to his Solar Arc Mars. When aspects are made to planets by transit, etc, they don't just trigger situations and circumstances, they also trigger psychological and emotional changes. This particular planetary influence in Boris' chart is not only bringing a destructive phase into his life by way of others baying for his blood, it has also given him great courage and the determination to fight back.

Yesterday, transiting Mars entered the sign of Taurus and for the next few days it is in an opposition aspect to Boris' natal Moon, bringing out his fiery emotions, strong will and fighting spirit. Tempers run high with this planetary combination and there will be intense emotional reactions, disagreements and grievances. Transiting Mars conjunct Saturn and opposite Uranus in his Solar Arc chart indicates his efforts were blocked by circumstances beyond his control and his normal routines are being disrupted. Rebellion is rife.

However, if you think this is the end for Boris, think again. His premiership may be over but we have not heard the last of him yet. Not by a long chalk.
