Andy Burnham stepped up to be PM at circa 12.10 pm today. That gives a flag-waving, confident, enthusiastic, caring Sun Jupiter in the 10th. Sun Jupiter oppose Pluto which is tied into the mini Grand Trine of Uranus and Neptune – perhaps hinting at recklessness, brashness, a tendency to cut across niceties or ignore regulations. Pluto in the 4th hints at a mutinous domestic situation.
A 1st house nurturing, though an indecisive or wanting-to-be-all-things-to-all-people Libra Moon opposes Saturn in the 7th square a retrograde Mercury conjunct the Midheaven. Which suggests communication glitches, a difficulty in getting understandable policies across as well as a tendency to speak before thinking through plans and trying to do too much too quickly. Saturn in the 7th = relationships require hard work.
Chiron and Eris, planet of discord, plus Saturn in the 7th point to relationships both internal and external being a key area of difficulty. The 5th house North Node suggests a head-in-the-clouds and building-castles-in-the-air attitude. A focal point Mutable Uranus can be overly excitable, outspoken, and pushing through changes and innovations in a scattergun way.
Argumentative Mars in Gemini in the international 9th house is square Venus, trine Moon and sextile Saturn – so less upbeat for global affairs than in Starmer’s government chart which has Jupiter in the 9th – hence his focus on abroad. That chart also had a Cancer Sun in the 10th plus Moon and Venus. The Sun Venus were trine a 6th house Saturn sextile Mars (Uranus) in the 8th – employment difficulties with financial challenges were marked. The 7th house of relationships also had Chiron, Eris and Neptune on the cusp – so floundering around trying to sort relationship glitches.
That early chart still holds good though Burnham’s PM chart has less emphasis on business finances.
It remains to be seen how it will pan out.
I am intrigued by tr Saturn sitting on top of the UK 7th house North Node in Aries at the moment which Burnham’s government keys into. The hard work required to find a balance between independence (Aries) and interdependence (7th house) will be a key test.
ADD ON: Burnham’s relationship chart with Trump points to outright dislike with a composite Mars square Pluto and Mars conjunct Saturn – which will be rattled and undermined through this year and next. Though with a composite yod onto an apex Sun there is a suggestion of a fated duo whose individual destinies will be affected by the other.
