Harper's bad start: new Cdn PM already in hot water

February 8, 2006

The Tories must be a little rusty. They've been out of power for 13 years and

they've already fumbled the ball. Stephen Harper's controversial appointment of

an unelected campaign chair to the cabinet via the Senate has ruffled some

feathers in his own party. This reeks of hypocrisy and is not what they were

expecting from a party that had run on a ethical and squeaky clean image.

I believe these problems for Harper may be linked to the approaching Jupiter

station on the Canada Saturn. Jupiter is the 10th ruler for government in the

midnight chart and Saturn being malefic and 12th ruler of hidden enemies and

loss, etc and placed in the natal 8th house spells trouble for the government in

those areas. Ethical questions will be in the air until the aspect clears and

Jupiter retrogrades away from Saturn.

Since I don't expect this government to last to Christmas, perhaps this miscue

will still be in voter's minds come election day in the Fall. The reason why I

believe this government won't last is partially linked to the Canada chart and

the station of Uranus on natal Jupiter as I have mentioned previously.

However, another part of the astrological picture is Harper's swearing-in

horoscope (Feb 6 2006, 11.18 am EST Ottawa). Saturn represents the 10th house or

government (especially the PM) and it is closely aspected by malefic Rahu (north

node). This is a disruptive influence that can cause distortions of judgement

and corruption in the government. Sun, as karaka of leader, is tightly conjunct

dissolute Neptune. 12th lord Mars being placed in the 1st house is also an

unhelpful influence as suggests a reclusive or secretive influence on matters of

state. the natal chart, combined with a what will be a powerful and painful

Saturn station in November at 1 degree of Leo that will simultaneously aspect

Mars (0 Taurus) and Mercury (1 Aquarius) is certain to bring extreme stress and

hardship. While it's possible that it may be a reflection of troubles in Canada

generally, I believe the more likely scenario will be the defeat of the Harper

government. Mars rules the 12th house of loss and it is

being aspected by Saturn, the ruler of the 10th house of government.
