According to the Prime Minister of Sweden which currently holds the rotating EU presidency, the EU Constitution - deliberately and falsely spun as the 'Lisbon Treaty' - has been confirmed as entering into force on the 1st of December this year:

"With the signature of the Czech President, all EU member states have now ratified the text. The Treaty enters into force on December 1 and all the details must now be put into place." Source: EU Swedish Presidency official website

Any astrologer looking at the EU's chart would have to admit that there are some extremely major danger signals in it, even if they also want to point out the best and brightest potentials of it.

Setting the EU Constitution chart alongside the EU's chart again has to throw up warning signs. Just the fact that the final 'ward in the lock' has happened while Neptune was stationary strikes a note about chaos and fraud, even if we also want to take the - somewhat rosy-spectacled in my opinion - view that it also represents the potential for unity and harmonising.

EU and EU Constitution
Look first at the left hand side where the EU's Ascendant is in 17 Leo 16. The Constitution* chart has Mars at 17 Leo 23, just a few minutes away from being exact. If that isn't a symbol of aggressive power I don't know what is. It's akin to a baby emerging from the womb with boxing gloves on and a crown upon its head. With Mars in Leo and a Leo Ascendant, the divine right of kings is not just idle rhetoric, it's backed up with the legions of an army and the willingness to fight and vanquish all opponents.

Tony Blair has Mars on the Ascendant, and as one American put it, Blair sprinkled adrenalin on his cornflakes. Backing down from a challenge, giving in to opposition, is not what these entities do.

The EU has Mars conjunct Pluto in Scorpio, directly opposite the Moon, and in square to Saturn - all in Fixed Signs (holding on, staying power, rigidity, acquisitions, resources, money). If that's not large-scale aggressive do-or-die dominance of food (especially agriculture), money, people, and property I don't know what is. Neptune's station, and its subsequent slow movement forwards by the time of 1st December, is exactly square to that natal EU opposition, conjunct the EU's Saturn in the 7th house. That symbolises two things:-

1) Taking the 'unison' factor up to a whole new level, having an attempt at making the whole thing borderless, barrierless, and universal - the voracious, insatiable appetite for more land, more people, more power is 'ramped up' to a global and beyond level. Expect the EU's already incredible ambition to skyrocket.

2) Total collapse of the above because it's all a sham, gerrybuilt, rests on delusions and the power of getting people to be passive, acquiescent, compliant, docile, servile, conned, defrauded, whatever words you want to use. It's built on corruption, being drunk on power, and, dare I say it, the involvement of Jupiter and Neptune show that there's a deep religious impulse going on in the EU project. Not necessarily Catholicism or Freemasonry or suchlike; it could be just like the religiosity of America where the nation itself is a sacrosanct object of venerative belief.

By the way, transiting Jupiter's conjunction with transiting Neptune multiplies all of the above. And if you're interested in Chiron (my mind isn't made up on Chiron's usefulness, so I include it in the chartwheels but don't always use it unless it really stands out) there's a returning to old destructive patterns in this EU project. There's also a locking-in of its financial troubles.

There's much more that could be said, but it'll have to wait for a proper article over on the website.

* I refuse to buy into the PR that we must call it 'the Lisbon Treaty' - it isn't just another treaty, it's a major political constitutional act, just as the EU itself is a major nation-building political project and always has been right from its inception. The architects of it know that it's designed to be exactly that.
