Canada is in political turmoil as Trump, the great disruptor, throws a spoiler into the mix with his promised 25% tariff on all goods and services, causing the Deputy Prime Minister to resign saying that Justin Trudeau was not up to the job of confronting aggressive “America-first” economic nationalism.
Trudeau’s popularity was already plummeting and the blunt accusations from Chrystia Freeland, long seen as an ally, may well the tipping point which pushes him out. Though with his Mars on the cusp of the 8th opposition Pluto he won’t give up until the absolutely last gasp. The decision to step down might be made for him in the new year, if the opposition New Democratic party withdraws its support from his minority government.
A political commentator remarked (which is a thought to take on board), ““Trump has less of an ideological agenda than he does to disrupt, dismantle and upset a stable political system.”
The Canada chart, 1 July 1867 12am Ottawa, has tr Neptune and Saturn square the late Gemini Moon for a depressed and discouraged electorate early in 2025 and on this start time Pluto moving into the 11th is hinting at a change in hopes for the future. But nothing much else showing in planetary aspects until 2027 when tr Uranus squares the Mars and 2028/9 when tr Neptune squares the Sun Uranus in Cancer which will be unsettling and directionless.
The Bank of Canada chart, 11 March 1935, has one marginally upbeat tr Uranus opposition Jupiter later this month to middle March 2025 with more problems brewing in 2026/27 with a jarring tr Uranus square Saturn; and a total road-blocked SA Pluto conjunct Mars.
Trudeau’s relationship with Trump is in bad shape early in 2025 with tr Neptune conjunct the composite Sun and square Saturn. With Trump’s relationship chart with Canada troubled for longer – with tr Neptune square the Jupiter opposition Pluto Uranus and then Sun and then Venus from now right through the next administration. Undermining and disappointing.
Justin Trudeau, 25 December 1971 9.27pm Ottawa, has a repeat from last summer of the failure-ridden tr Neptune conjunct his Mars in Pisces this coming March 2025. That coincides with two of his rivals Poilievre and Freeland having ‘lucky’ break’ midpoints so it may point to his departure. Tr Uranus is conjunct his Midheaven for a change of career direction from May 2025 onwards. Tr Neptune then continues on to oppose Trudeau’s Pluto from June and throughout 2026 – so a long slide downhill. He’ll be jangled and jolted by tr Uranus conjunct his 10th house Saturn from July 2025 onwards. With more disappointment and losses from tr Neptune square his Capricorn Sun in 2026.
Neither of his two rivals looks particularly upbeat (without birth times) moving ahead in 2025.
Canada and Trump really is the greatest worry with the Bank of Canada chart hinting at considerable problems ahead.
