PM Harper's bad start: a sign of things to come

The Tories must be a little rusty. They've been out of power for 13 years and they've already fumbled the ball. Stephen Harper's controversial appointment of an unelected campaign chair to the cabinet via the Senate has ruffled some feathers in his own party. This reeks of hypocrisy and is not what they were expecting from a party that had run on a ethical and squeaky clean image. Read about it here.

I believe these problems for Harper may be linked to the approaching Jupiter station on the Canada Saturn. Jupiter is the 10th ruler for government in the midnight chart and Saturn being malefic and 12th ruler of hidden enemies and loss, etc and placed in the natal 8th house spells trouble for the government in those areas.

Since I don't expect this government to last to Christmas, perhaps this miscue will still be in voter's minds come election day in the Fall. The reason why I believe this government won't last is partially linked to the Canada chart and the station of Uranus on natal Jupiter as I have mentioned previously.

However, Harper's swearing-in horoscope (Feb 6 2006, 11.18 am EST Ottawa) is very troubled. Saturn represents the 10th house or government (especially the PM) and it is closely aspected by malefic Rahu (north node). This is a disruptive influence that can cause distortions of judgement and corruption in the government. 12th lord Mars being placed in the 1st house is also an unhelpful influence as suggests a reclusive or secretive influence on matters of state. the natal chart, combined with a what will be a powerful and painful Saturn station in November that will simultaneously aspect Mars and Mercury is certain to bring extreme stress and hardship. While it's possible that it may be a reflection of troubles in Canada generally, I believe the more likely scenario will be the defeat of the Harper government. Mars rules the 12th house of loss and it is being aspected by Saturn, the ruler of the 10th house of government.
