There is a difference I would say. The disquiet in other European countries has not quite reached the same level as it has in the UK. The renegotiation by the UK was a case of Cameron demanding reform with the threat of the UK breaking away if he did not get it . Pusillanimous though he was this was an act of rebellion more significant than Hungary building a barbed wire fence.

For the rest of Europe we could use the house for the people. For the EU establishment the 10th and perhaps for Britain the 4th as the opposers to the 10th ?

If so for the Brussels ingress Saturn is still LOY following Goran's previous so we now interpret for EU rather than UK. Saturn squares Jupiter L10 as does Mars and I do not think the opposition of Venus ( and Neptune) really does much to break the enclosure so not good for EU

I am not the first to reference "fog in the channel" to the UK in Europe context. A French politician once predicted " Never again will we see this headline in an English paper" after the UK signed some ever closer union treaty. He could be proved wrong

I haven't checked out the traditional sources thoroughly enough to take a considered view on how the Lord of the Year is determined myself but I just wanted to note that Peter Stockinger (relying on Bonatti) previously suggested Mars was the LOY for the UK in this Aries ingress while in the Aries ingress for Brussels he suggests the LOY shifted to the Moon.

mark and matthew

thanks for the additional interesting comments!

mark - regarding your last post - that was what i was raising in my post Mon May 02, 2016 3:55 am ..

goran and i had this conversation previously in 2015 and so it was interesting to see peter stockinger coming out suggesting mars as loy, as that was the tact i had taken within the conversation with goran to which goran was firm in saying saturn was loy.. it might not matter if you read the diverse literature on this as there are going to be subjective considerations in any weighing of astrological factors.

matthew - i had to look up pusillanimous! interesting word!!

yes but in contrast perhaps the Brits will be bolder in backing Brexit in the ballot - will consider further

Yes James I did spot that! I totally missed it at the time as 2015 was something of an annus horribilus for me.

It was an interesting thread. Goran made some very useful observations as did you and Matthew.

I should just mention that Sharon Knight concurs with Goran in assigning Saturn as LOY in the UK ingress.

But ultimately, I am more interested here in where people take such judgements in terms of overall delineation and prediction.

thanks mark,

i like the fact different astrologers arrive at different conclusions.. makes it less black and white to me which i like..

my rationale for mars as loy in the 2016 aries ingress to london might have been similar to stockingers - mars on the midheaven angle and a planet of the nocturnal sect, as opposed to saturn which is ruler of the ascendant.. i like it that astrologers don't arrive at the same conclusions..

as you say, it is more interesting to see the conclusions that go with the astrology..

Well yes it wouldn't be astrology without a few disagreements!

As far as I can establish the difference over LOY boils down to whether we choose to give priority to planets with the greatest essential dignity over key angles or those that have the strongest accidental dignity through angularity in those positions.

Whatever, approach we take angular planets are critical in ingress charts. Different locations can have the same signs on the angles but certain planets can become more angular in one chart compared to another.

I remember looking at the UK ingress chart for 2016 a while back and noticed that that the angular Mars line was spot on the MC located for Liverpool England. I thought this meant Liverpool would be the focus of public attention for some reason but I had no idea why. It turned out that a damning judgement came out highlighting the behaviour of the Police over the the Hillsborough disaster of 1989 in late April 2016. An inquest jury found the victims had been unlawfully killed. 96 Liverpool fans died in the disaster and at the time the Police (and the national Newspaper the Sun) blamed the behaviour of Liverpool fans for this. Moreover, there had been a Police cover up for decades over the real events that day. The issue had left a sense of grievance in the city for decades and many Liverpudlians have boycotted the Sun newspaper ever since for its biased reporting blaming the the behaviour of Liverpool fans for the disaster.

The day after the inquest jury verdict tens of thousands gathered outside Liverpool?s St George?s Hall to hold a public meeting to commemorate the judgement and to pay tribute to to the 96 victims of the Hillsborough disaster in a special ceremony marking the 27-year struggle for truth.

If we are to go for angularity then Mars is 10th in the UK chart but Saturn is closer to the angle in the Brussels chart as I am trying visualise them so we could give Mars to the 9th for EU

Looking at Raphael 1931 he states Mars in the ninth is trouble in colonial affairs so bad for EU. For Mars in the tenth for London it is open to different interpretations so is a little harder to say but I will try and work out something to say taking into account aspects

hi mark,

that is a pretty horrible event with resolution taking so long - 27 years.. wow... i note saturn and jupiter square exactly 45/135 the ascendant degree for liverpool.. i wonder if that somehow relates to this? to me some matter that has been left to fester for such a long time would be captured with saturn ruling over the 12th (police cover up and etc).. and i think the idea of a judicial matter with this judgment would connect to saturn and jupiter again, but i could make a connection with mars and the police.. i don't share bonatis view - if this is his view - that mars on an angle is bad... especially given it is a nocturnal chart... i see saturn as the challenging influence..

however, i can see mars as the planet in focus and ruling over 9th house matters - if we use the placidus house cusps which i assume your chart has - bringing us back to judicial matters like this being highlighted.. the 135 between mars and uranus is another off topic astro pov for me here too...

the time of the hillsborough calamity has moon at 25 leo - just a passing coincidence i suppose..

I have substantially expanded and reworked my previous post on the opening of poll chart on this thread (Page 1, 21st April 2016). Please check it out for how I weighed up the astrological testimonies in that chart which are now listed individually in summary at the end.

The Amsterdam based British astrologer Elizabeth Hathaway has written a very interesting piece on the UK's relationship with the EU. A follow up article will follow later this week.

As we have also been discussing the Aries ingress for the European Union I have displayed the chart located for Brussels, the political and administrative headquarters of the EU. Its displayed in Equal and Placidus houses. As Matthew commented although the same sign is rising (Aquarius) in both the UK & EU Aries ingress Saturn is more angular in the EU chart.

I am unclear how Peter Stockinger determined the Moon as LOY in the EU Aries ingress. Saturn is both domicile ruler of the ASC and the most angular planet. Any ideas?
