October 21: Progressed Mars square Sun and Saturn in the Mars cycle

In the Aquarian Age chart…
In the Sun section of the Aquarian Age big power politics, national supremacy, nationalism, patriotism, racial superiority and imperialism are key drivers.
In the Pluto period of the Aquarian Age groups, disunity, coercion, intimidation, dictatorial control, threats, duress, wicked evil, criminal activity, inversion and misinformation are defining global trends.
In the Aquarian Age chart the equinox pointer is square progressed Pluto.
Progressed Mars is parallel progressed Pluto > peak power date is November 22, 2021. A high-discord aspect that forecasts escalating global tensions, a race to build bigger and better bombs, war, nuclear war, cyber attacks, violent crime, hate crime, sex crime, mass killings, gang violence, brutal enforcement, torture, kidnappings, crime fighting, accidents and fires.

Newsmaker: Boris Johnson
His chart progressed to October 31, 2019
Progressed Midheaven (reputation and public standing) at 5 Virgo 45 in house 11 (parliament) is conjunction birth chart Uranus – radical moves, Brexit and the big change – and opposition (separation) birth chart Saturn – planet of loss, struggle, non-stop difficulties, true-blue conservatives and recession – in house 5.
Progressed Venus at 6 Cancer 35 in house 9 (trade and the courts) is sextile (opportunity) birth chart Uranus (unrest, strikes, protests and demonstrations) at 6 Virgo 31 in house 11.
Progressed Saturn at 2 Pisces 28R in house 5 (risk) is square (obstacle) birth chart Mars – planet of strife, haste and disputation – in house 8 (taxes and debt). Mars rules house 7 – the countries in the EU – and house 2 (Britain’s finances); and Saturn rules house 4 (Scotland and Ireland).
Progressed Neptune – the planet of schemes and confusion – at 15 Scorpio 09 in house 2 is opposition (separation) birth chart Jupiter – planet of finances – in house 8 (the EU’s finances). The (Mars, Jupiter-Neptune) discord influencing houses 2 and 8 is through the roof.
And progressed ascendant (the people) at 18S34 in house 2 is parallel progressed Pluto at 19N09 – planet of division and disunity.
Progressed Mercury – planet of talks and deals – at 16 Virgo 40 in house 12 (disappointment) is trine (luck) birth chart Jupiter (optimism) in house 8 so Johnson remains optimistic regarding the separation deal. But the progressed discord far outweighs the progressed harmony and Johnson runs out of luck when the Mercury-Jupiter trine aspect ends on March 1, 2020.
The birth time from his father in a letter – see Astro Databank – has probably been rounded off so its accuracy is uncertain.

Canada votes
Newsmaker: Justin Trudeau
His chart progressed to October 21, 2019
2019 has been an awful year for Trudeau.
Progressed Mercury in his chart at 18 Aquarius 12 in house 6 has been sextile birth chart Moon at 17 Aries 17 in house 8 and trine birth chart Uranus at 17 Libra 57 in house 2 activating their exact birth chart opposition aspect; and with progressed Midheaven at 15 Cancer 55 in house 11 semisquare (friction) birth chart Saturn at 00 Gemini 46R in house 10 (his reputation) and progressed ascendant at 13 Libra 03 in house 2 sesquisquare (agitation) birth chart Midheaven his popularity and public standing has fallen (Saturn).
On October 21 the progressed discord in his chart is high.
Progressed Mercury – planet of controversy – is semisquare (friction) birth chart Sun – planet of power and politics – at 3 Capricorn 39 in house 5.
Progressed Jupiter at 00 Capricorn 57 in house 4 is square (obstacle) birth chart Pluto at 1 Libra 39R in house 2; and progressed Venus at 1 Aries 47 in house 8 is square progressed Jupiter and opposition birth chart Pluto.
And progressed Mars at 00 Taurus 53 in house 9 is trine (luck) progressed Jupiter inn house 4 and he’ll need all the luck he can get to win the election on October 21. His chart doesn’t forecast victory.
Mercury, Venus and Saturn – the rulers of house 10 (his popularity and reputation) – are all involved in discordant progressed aspects.
Neptune dominates Trudeau’s chart and the Sun – planet of political leadership – has below average power – so he’s an idealistic, dreamer – a promoter of idealistic schemes – not a politician.
The birth data is from a news report in the Ottawa Citizen on December 28, 1971 as per Sy Scholfield on Astro Databank. It can be considered accurate and reliable.
