Chancellor Rachel Reeves wrestling with the gap between Labour economic policy and fiscal stability let alone growth has tripped into a sinkhole over the mishandling of a private house rental. The details are complex, the assertions, corrections and obfuscations make a small matter hardly worth disentangling – but it is a political disaster, yet another, for the Starmer government. The markets would get rattled if he dumped her so she’ll probably stay for a while.
Born 13 February 1979, Lewisham, England, she has a Fixed Sun and contrary Mars in Aquarius square Uranus in Scorpio which will make her stubborn and erratic, prone to impulse decisions. Her Sun Mars are also trine Pluto sextile Neptune so no mistaking her over-arching ambition.
All that is showing on her chart now (without birth time) us tr Pluto opposition her Jupiter which can be pushily confident though can also spark up conflicts with authority. Given that her Jupiter is unaspected it could magnify an innate tendency for her judgement to be under-developed. Her Jupiter is also square her Saturn/Neptune midpoint which can point to over-sensitiveness and egotism.
She is in calamity-zone at the moment with tr Uranus opposing her Mars/Saturn midpoint till later this week; returning next April.
Her relationship chart with Keir Starmer is also fraught and nerve-stretched at the same time; moving into possible separations and upsets from late April 2026 right through till early 2027 as tr Uranus opposes their composite Sun and Venus till early 2027. Though whether that is her going, him going or both on the scrap heap isn’t clear. There is certainly a downward slide in their association with tr Neptune opposition their composite Pluto now until late January 2026, with an extra jolt mid February from tr Saturn opposition the Pluto.
Her other transits to midpoints hint at major panic from late January 2026, with serious turbulence throughout the year.
