Venus in a Blue Rinse

Hello, Friend; - the signs were there when Chelsea (the Blues) won the F.A. Championship. So now, we, (in the U.K.) have the Blue Party (Conservatives) , "in power"together with their new best friends the Gold/Yellow party, the Liberal Democrats. A combination of colours which engenders a greenish hue, I think. Different. Let's see how they progress.
A New Paradigm ? - possibly not, though some quite skillful Deckchair Re-arrangement.

Astrologically, our friends Cameron and Clegg have much in common. Both born in the year of the Fire Horse -1966-very early 1967. They BOTH have a close Opposition of Saturn and Uranus - perfect resonance with the current Opposition of these 2 Planets, though at their birth Saturn was in Pisces, and Uranus in Virgo. NOW , the 2 have "swapped" Signs, with Saturn back,briefly, in Virgo, opposing Uranus in Pisces. All very descriptive of the tensions and opportunities of the mid 1960's -now translated into the political arena by the emergence of a new generation - the 1960's born -into the Cabinet Room deliberations.
They BOTH have Jupiter in the 2nd Degree of Leo, in precisely the same degree as in the U.K. Chart - 1 Jan. 1801. So both can be Something Big in this land, as they touch a chord in the British psyche which, deep down, remembers a distant time when Kings and rulers did possess a divine, or "Golden" quality and expressed what we might describe as the Love/Wisdom; or 2nd Ray, aspect as represented by the Sun and Jupiter in combination. e.g. Sun conjunct Jupiter, or, Jupiter in Leo.

VENUS, during this Election period, has been in Gemini, describing the "courtship"that featured beween the Parties, the choices, or choosing;- the relative youthfulness of the main participants;
and, from a higher perspective, no matter how flawed the process, or how world-weary one might have become, Venus as Esoteric Ruler of Gemini acts here to blend, combine, interweave disparate energies, as Intermediary and Peacemaker.

If your head is reeling from this unsolicited barrage of Astro-Politics (which you didn't vote for !?) - then here is a verse of Folk-Song. -from "The Bonny Black Hare" (Trad.).:-

" On the fourtenth of May, at the Dawn of the Day,
with my gun on my shoulder to the woods I did stray,
Hoping to find, if the weather proved clear-
I might get a shot at the Bonny Black Hare..."

Euphemistic and not unconnected with the May-Time traditions (courtesy of Venus) of finding a partner and making some efforts towards procreation and continuation of the Species.- common to all species at this time of year- in this, the Northern Hemisphere.
There is a theory, that way back in time- Neolithic/Bronze Age ?, that many, perhaps a majority of children were conceived around Beltane -early May, as people expressed their natural, enforced by "Tribal",desire to unite as the Earth awoke under the influence of the strengthening Sun.
If that WAS the case, then many, perhaps a majority, would have been born around the time of Imbolc (Candlemas), in early February, nine months later. -A Society with a built-in Aquarian Majority ! The mind boggles - how were things -? Live and let Live? A lot of cool customers with an ingenious water supply and quite good Public Transport (Ox-carts, Canoes -or did they practise Levitation ?) Star-lore and Earth -Energies - they knew much that we are only just re-membering. John Michell and Alfred Watkins, Aquarians both -have opened our eyes to the works of our Ancestors. Stonehenge, Avebury, and a thousand other sites are now again "visible" to us all as we recognise the brawn, the brain, the body of the Ageless Landscape amongst which we are privileged to live and have our Being while in this physical sojourn.

It is possible, though, at some point, when the Universe "agrees", that Earth-life could take a very different direction - into the 4th/5th Dimension, up and away (vibrationally) from the strictly, physical, Time-bound, which is all too familiar. 2012 might be a step in that direction. Does the Phoenix await? The Crop Circles, I suspect, will continue to offer clues ..
