Solunars by Aldebaran Sidereal Academy

England has voted to leave the European Union, one of the most significant events in the history of post WW II Europe.

As expected, it was fairly close. At present it looks like 52% to 48%.

According to NY Times, the BBC called the results just before 4:45 AM June 24. I suppose, though, that the deed was officially when the poles closed June 23 at 10:00 PM.

The British pound, which soared in yesterday's markets, immediately plummeted in response to the news.'

Neptune seems to be the main indicator all around.

And then, soon after the above news, the Prime Minister announce his resignation. Britain's stock market (up a lot yesterday) tumbled overnight to a30-year low, and world markets followed overnight. The Dow opened this morning over 400 points down, wiping out two days of strong growth.

Definitely a Saturn-Neptune day all around.

When I was cataloguing the angularities and aspects for this event, I noticed many astrological overlaps with South Carolina's vote to secede from the United States in 1860. Yesterday's vote in Great Britain was a similar vote "to secede from the Union." The charts also share features with those for the Greek debt default against EU members.

There were all sorts of mingled voices in the charts for this event, and the simplicity - especially the Neptune-driven simplicity - might get lost in it all. For example, as minor factors, there were two charts with angular Mercury, typical of treaties and significant documents, as well as of votes it seems - a feature similar to the South Carolina vote. The acting Year chart, the Cansolar, had an angular Moon, and this was a form of populist uprising.

Here was the simplest expression of it, though:

With a dormant Capsolar, the YEAR was covered by the prior Cansolar. At its simplest, it had Moon and Neptune closely angular, showing strong emotional waves, mass movement (almost mob movement), excitability, etc. Its one intriguing, unobvious detail is a very close foreground Venus-Jupiter conjunction. (The planets are only moderately foreground, but the aspect is quite close and gets full weight.) England has had similar major events (not always pleasant or unifying) with strong Venus-Jupiter aspects in the past that have simply indicated that the event focused on the aristocracy or other elite, and I suspect the interpretation of this deals with something along those lines. Otherwise, it is a quite inappropriate detail for an event marking a severance of union, resignation of a Prime Minister, stock market catastrophe, and likely loss of half of Great Britain itself if Scotland and Northern Ireland secede from the nation as expected.

The MONTH (as well as week) was marked by a complicated new Caplunar that, at its worst, looked political and uncertain, but mostly suggested surging, shifting business and economic conditions. Neptune is the single most angular planet, but it's joined by Mercury and Jupiter (Saturn being outside the "super strong" zone). One of its three main aspect structures is a Jupiter-Saturn-Neptune triplet that is wavering and unclear. Consistent with the huge change is the universal Moon-Uranus aspect. Seemingly at odds with the outcome is the close foreground Mercury-Jupiter square, which is more typical of business success, formation of treaties, etc., but has appeared for new negotiations in difficult situations (e.g., the Greek default). I suspect its role here is that there was strong economic / business / money motivation in powers influencing the outcome (in addition to the primary cause of the outcome, viz., immigration and ethnic aversion issues).

And then the DAY couldn't have been clearer: The CapQ had two Saturns and a Neptune on the angles which were ultimately dominated by the Saturn-Neptune square. Throw in a Mars for good measure.
