Blair's future ?

[fedsron2us]

For those with a weakness for oracles here is what one British astrologer wrote about Tony Blair four months before the election

Tony Blair will experience his progressed Full Moon in April 2005. This Full Moon occurs in Capricorn opposite his progressed Mars in Cancer, and it represents a difficult 'high water point' in the 28 year cycle of his progressed Moon. He has gone as far as he can on the current road. The pinnacle of achievement has been reached. This is the second progressed Moon in his lifetime. From April 10th 2005 we may witness a change in the persona of the UK prime minister as his life forces begin to turn inward and backward. His long term future may well be one of reflection and review. The climax of his influence on world events is now upon us. With Neptune squaring his natal Sun, the most important and dominant planetary transit in the year ahead, (peaking May 04, Feb. 05, Sept. 05 and Dec. 05), during this time we may continue to watch a man floundering under a massive wave of confusion and self undoing.

All of this is not to say he will not secure his third term in office as prime minister. Still riding on the crest of this high tide wave, he may well carry on in power and premiership for some time to come, but the edge to his personal energy will have gone. Before him is the inevitable waning of his progressed Moon and the associated retrospective and introspective journeying.

Following his progressed Full Moon in April 2005 the Moon continues to be 'besieged' in Capricorn by opposing progressed Mars in July 2005, and opposing Uranus in March 2006, and squaring progressed Saturn and Neptune in May 2006. From this time his Moon is void of course before entering Aquarius in January 2007. Even then the Moon is opposite progressed Mercury. 'A tough old time of it all' is the astrological prediction.

1. oh..

I thought this was going to be about the article I just read saying that Blair has been asked to step down, but stubbornly refuses. Poor poodle.

3. No shortage of people calling for him to go

Clare Short, Glenda Jackson, Frank Dobson and Frank Field are all ex Labour ministers who think Blair is past his sell by date

Everyone realises that his time has gone except for poor old Tony.

Much as I disliked many of Blairs policies I would have forgiven him all of his domestic failings if he had not backed Bush in Iraq. This was his defining error. Truely we are the authors of our own undoing.
