Michel Barnier, the tough Brexit negotiator and right-winger has been named as Emmanuel Macron’s prime minister after an extensive delay. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the left wing politician, whose party and allies won most seats in the recent election said the election had been “stolen from the French people”, complaining that Barnier was “a member of a party that came last.”
Political high jinks everywhere.
What is interesting about Barnier is his chart. Born 9th January 1951 4.40 pm La Tronche, France, he has a Capricorn Sun square Neptune but what dominates his chart is a beyond-stubborn Mars Moon in Aquarius in his 8th opposition Pluto. He has two yods of Pluto sextile Neptune inconjunct Midheaven; and Sun sextile Midheaven inconjunct Pluto. Definitely a power player.
His utterly immoveable Pluto opposition Mars sits on top of the France equally intransigent Uranus in Leo opposition Pluto in Aquarius and squaring the France Mars in Scorpio and Midheaven. If he survives politically it’ll be a mighty battle.
The relationship chart with France has a controlling composite Pluto opposition Sun which will be seriously disrupted late December to mid March 2025 as tr Uranus opposes the composite Sun. There is also a highly-strung, nerve-stretched composite Uranus square Neptune which is being challenged now till late November.
His relationship with Macron is comme ci comme ca, or at least half OK and half not. There is a friendly Sun Venus trine an enthusiastic Mars Jupiter on the positive side. But also an ego-clash with a composite Mars opposition Neptune; and tough, strong-willed, single-minded Saturn Pluto trine Mars trine Venus.
He’ll have his work cut out with France suffering under the insecure jolts and jangles of tr Uranus opposition the France Mars (MC) till spring 2025; and an undermining tr Neptune opposition its Virgo Sun through till early 2026. With this October and next March Solar Eclipse rattling up France’s financial Venus at 11 degrees Libra; as well as this month’s Lunar Eclipse and next September’s Solar Eclipse challenging the France Sun.
