Jeremy Corbyn

Not one of his ten planets sits in a water sign. Air takes six, with two apiece in fire and earth, and five of the ten are fixed against a single cardinal. The Sun, Mercury, Venus and Uranus fill twenty four degrees of Gemini, the sign built around knowing things and passing them on. The record calls Corbyn a British politician who led Labour from the left of the party.

Mercury sits in hard contact with Jupiter at under a third of a degree, the closest individual contact here, and the standing reading is scale outrunning accuracy: exaggeration, promising more than was checked, and confident wrongness delivered well. That is the meaning the aspect carries in any chart and it is printed here as that and nothing more. Mercury also sits seventy two degrees from Saturn at just over a degree, structured thinking without strain. A politician the record places on one wing of a party is somebody whose Mercury gets read for a living, which is why that contact is printed plainly here and then left alone.

Saturn sits sixty degrees from Uranus at under three quarters of a degree, which is practical innovation: new ideas that actually get built, and an unusual patience for slow change. A yod closes on Jupiter, Saturn and that Uranus without resolving, so scale, limit and revolt are locked into a figure with no outlet on its own terms. In a record about leading a party from one of its wings, a figure holding exactly those three is the structural note to take. The Moon answers from Taurus at eighteen and its sign is certain.

Jupiter came back to its Aquarius birth degree on 29 December 2020, at seventy one, and five laps precede it. Aquarius takes its reading from whatever would not follow the usual pattern, which in a record whose single fact is a position within a party is close to the whole question. No water at all, with six planets in air and four of them in Gemini, is the fact to take from this chart: everything here is worked out in argument, and very little of it registers the cost.
