Labour is about to have the final stage in its years-long meltdown.
In November - appropriately enough just one day before Bonfire Night - Neptune will station and turn direct in close conjunction with the Labour Party's Sun.
The Party's Sun is at 23 Aquarius 00. Neptune will station at 23 Aquarius 42.
The last time Neptune stationed at this degree - May 2008 - the Labour Party suffered its worst election results in 40 years. It finished in 3rd place with a projected 24% share of the national vote. And it lost the Mayor of London seat to the Conservatives, as Ken Livingstone was replaced by Boris Johnson.
When the outer planets station all hell tends to break loose. With Neptune stations things tend to be especially chaotic with no-one knowing which way to turn as suspended animation kicks in.
The only difference this time is that Neptune will be moving forwards, whereas in May 2008 it was turning backwards.
What happened at the two stationary-conjuncts before that, you may ask?
November 2008 - Alistair Darling's emergency pre-budget statement was announced, and was called everything from the rather mild 'a gamble' by some to the rather more extreme 'the day New Labour died' by others.
May 2007 - One month later, Tony Blair resigned.
The chart for the 1997 victory of 'New Labour' also has 24 Aquarius as its Ascending degree.
Sinking ship indeed.
