England is Leaking: an astrological review of the 1066 chart

In the light of the present transit of Neptune opposed to natal Saturn in the astrological chart of England (1066) and the recent leaks through the roof of the house of commons, this video discusses  the symbology of both - the leaks and the meaning of Neptune transits. We begin, however, by looking at the concept of "proving"  an astrological chart by looking at four other historic transits: 1) - written in 2012 in my booklet From Symbol to Substance (Flare Publications), my prognosticatory comments about transiting Pluto over the 1066 Sun and the whole grand trine in earth which eventually led to the referendum of 2016 and the present problems of national identity; 2) -  the Supremecy Act of the reformation replacing the supremecy of pope with King Henry V111, when tr. Neptune squared Uranus in the 9th house of religion; 3) - the outbreak of Cholera in 1854 when Neptune was opposed to Saturn 165 years ago (in the same position  it is now); 4) - princess Diana's death when Neptune was in Capricorn transiting the 1066 Venus (the "people's princess"). We finish by discussing the recent omen of the leaks of the house of commons (April 4th 2019 at 2.45pm London)  and its obvious analogous/symbolic relation to the present tr. Nept opposed 1066 Saturn at 16.5 Virgo. God of the sea, thus of floods, leaks, deluges, inundations and "being overwhelmed", Poseidon/Neptune meets the leaking defensive walls of the nation (Saturn) by flooding them and stopping its politics now drowning as a nation in the soggy leadership of Teresa May - who has her natal Mars retrograde in Pisces in the 10th house. The leaks are a clear reference to an unconscious outpouring and overflow of collective and chaotic emotions due a nation's fear of loss of control at the head of government power (Capricorn/Saturn). Such loss of control (Nept opposed Saturn) leading to a fear of "drowning in chaos", could lead to  upcoming panic and "wild abandon" in the collective (so common to Neptunian elements when the banks of control in any system have been overwhelemed). Security and power, the seat of government and the parliament (Saturn rules 10th and 11th houses) are shown here as being weak, ineffective and flooded in turmoil. The centre of power is not holding the security of the nation together; government (Saturn ruling the 10th house) has lost control. We hope that the present Saturn in Capricorn transit acts as a counterweight to stop the leakagew of administrative powers and regain a firm grip of the situation which threatens an ugly breakdown in the national psyche.
