Chart data is April 5, 2020 at 2.45 am GMT (51N36; 00W06 – London)

So Jupiter conjunction Pluto throughout 2020 provides Britain with a road map for trade negotiations with the EU and other countries.

On December 11, 2019 his BJP changed the law (house 9-Jupiter) to make it easier for adherents of India’s religions (Jupiter-house 9), except Islam, to acquire citizenship. It’s also going to compile a register of India’s 1.3bn citizens and build camps to detain those caught in the net. Many of the country’s 200 million Muslims don’t have papers to prove they are Indian so they run the risk of being made stateless.
