There’s a great deal of political hatred and vitriol these days. Everyone is righteous.

Perhaps Jupiter in Libra is exaggerating our differences before getting us all to kiss and make up…. written wistfully.

This may not be possible in the wider world. Jupiter in Libra can well have a polarising effect. Just look at Donald Trump, who was born with this astrological signature. But sometimes, it’s good to have clarity about who your enemies are, because then you can embrace your friends more tightly.

However, on a personal level, we could try looking at things from the other person’s point of view.

Meanwhile, here is the inimitable Tom Lehrer. Still relevant 50 years later.

(Born with Jupiter in Aries — just the opposite.)

    This is great! I had forgotten this one but I often find myself humming Lehrer’s Merry Minuet … Really puts things in perspective … Ta!

    Looks like judgement day has come 🙂

    Spot on Christina. Righteousness seems to be in the air. Mars today squaring that Jupiter hasn’t been fun…

    If only Sam Allardyce had had some clarity about his enemies, he wouldn’t have said the things he said !

      Would love to see Christina’s take on Big Sam’s chart but the time of birth is unknown.

      He’s got a lot of planets at 25-28 degs* but none of them have been hit by Uranus yet – which is strange given the sudden move-in, move-out of the England job. Possibly his angles are mutable and he got hit by the Saturn-Neptune square but if they’re at a mid cardinal point then all his planets begin to fall into angular houses which is why he’s such a force of nature!

      Notably his Libra Sun is conjunct Neptune – so there is definitely something shifty about him. And quite possibly good at projecting stuff onto his enemies. Definitely could explain why he said stuff he said – trying to please others for the business deal.

      While he fell foul of a journalist’s entrapment, I’ve got to believe that they only tried that because of stuff he did in the past i.e. this was revenge to expose him.

      * Uranus-Jupiter at 27-28Can, Sun-Neptune at 25-26 Libra, Mars at 28 Cap. Moon in late Cancer or early Leo. Pluto at 26 Leo square Venus at 29Scorpio (controlled by/with money).

        I think in the absence of being able to get a really big scalp (Abramovich?) two journalists went out to try and make name for themselves. Although Sam didn’t actually do anything wrong, he didn’t help himself either. The rest of the storm centres around Championship managers at Barnsley and QPR – the latter who offered his services to speak for a fee? The Telegraph has suggested 8 more top level names – but if you check the source they are using – this is an ex agent, Pino Pagliara who was banned from Italian football due to his “dealings” and now says he lied about 8 other managers! http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/37520027
        “However, Pagliara told BBC Sport that he wanted to “impress” the businessmen in order to secure a lucrative contract.

        “I allowed them to believe that the managers I was speaking to would not drop the money on the floor if I gave it to them,”
        NO doubt the Telegraph paid him for his interviews with them over the last few months. S the self righteous may end up with eggs their faces yet!! As for Sam Allardyce – well the FA can stop him ever being a manager again but he an still be a coach. I feel sorry for him. There’s no proof he would have actually done what he was set up to talk about – he just outlined how someone can get around the rules.

        Apparently his shiftiness was well known before he got the job.

    Essence of Libra is balance – so imagine the edge of the sword and painting a position on that but not tipping to either side of the blade. Libra is the only zodiac symbol which doesn’t use living thing but an inanimate object. The balance is to be found in not identifying emotionally with one cause or another and seeing one’s position strategically. Its very interesting to see how strong Libra placements are seen in strategists. Margaret Thatcher had a Libra stellium and Theresa May is a Sun Libra. Mrs May, a remainer, has not to exercise the outcome of a democratic vote and shows how strategy is everything at the moment. Of course Libra was “fashioned” out of the claws of the Scorpion – whatever that means!! Theresa still has her thigh length black patent boots and Thatcher wasn’t the Iron Lady for nothing. May will announce her plan to repeal the 1972 European Communities act today at a conference. First move to her, the see how Guy Verhofstadt responds – he has Neptune Saturn in Libra opposite Venus and the Sun in Aries. I’d expect to see a fair amount of righteous idealisation expressed in his usual frantic way as he over identifies on a personal ego level. These will retain her Libran cool and dispassion.
