EU migrants: Merkel v Cameron



The suggestion that Angela Merkel would rather see Britain leave the EU than accede to changes to the EU's freedom of movement principle has raised political temperatures in the UK. Firstly, within the political establishment in Berlin there is increasing frustration with the UK. They do not know what David Cameron wants and are increasingly sensitive to demands that appear to be endlessly changing. In particular the Germans are alarmed by the suggestion of "caps" or "quotas" or "emergency brakes" on the numbers of EU migrants arriving in Britain. They believe that would undermine freedom of movement, a core EU principle. BBC; Oct 3 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-29878283








Eclipses tend to bring about endings and new beginnings and thereby  offer us an opportunity  to resynchronize our selves with the ever-changing cosmic currents supporting our evolutionary progression in consciousness. The New Moon [0sc] eclipse of October 23 conjoins stars  Theta Carina and Miaplacidus [2sc] of Argo Navis. The Celestial Ship Argo Navis is loosely speaking about migration to new lands and therefore by association is about migrants who following the cosmic currents that Miaplacidus represents find new places where the environment supports their evolutionary journeys in life.

On the Ascendant [27cn] of the eclipse chart  for London is the star Procyon [26cn]. Alpha (α Canis Minor), Procyon, is a binary star on the body of the Lesser Dog. It is a very fortunate star; known to the Mesopotamians as 'The Star of the Crossing of the Water - Dog' – a name which in itself suggests migration.

The eclipse is conjunct the TNP Apollon and the Jupiter/Pluto midpoint.

Jupiter-Pluto : to experience a loss of power or control (Pluto) because of foreigners or migrants (Jupiter).

Apollon: career opportunities; travel or  long distance/ cosmopolitan or business connections.


The 10th house rules those in authority over the nation, whether prime ministers or governments while the 6th house rules the working classes generally. With Uranus in the 10th square Pluto in the 6th , it is  not surprising that the government fears a loss of control (Pluto) if it allows free (Uranus)  migration of workers.







Progressing the eclipse chart to Oct 3 brings the Uranus-Pluto-Zeus-Kronos-Hades Grand Cross to the meridian  square.

Uranus-Pluto: attempts to force change or rupture; power struggles within groups.

Hades-Pluto: to see that  depression or financial difficulties can motivate upheaval.

Kronos-Pluto: to be aware that leaders are under substantial pressure; attempts to manipulate or dominate through testing the limits of rules, regulations, opinions or autonomy.

Finally, notice that on the Ascendant is M44 (NGC 2632) or epsilon (ε), a cluster of stars better known by the name the "Beehive Cluster", or the Latin equivalent, Praesepe, Praesaepe, which not only means a "hive" but also a "Manger", or "Crib".


Praesepe embodies the essence of the Scarab / Cancer theme: emergence out of darkness, dogma, and delusion, out of the antiquated entrapments we had been living in, and our transmutation from darkness into light. Praesepe is of new beginnings, migration, shedding old skins, skeletons, and cocoons. It is of emerging out of the frenetic confusion of mass consciousness; finding our new path and direction; leaving behind old dwellings and the structures of consciousness they represent; and getting out of our personal or collective dogma and the darkness it creates.
