Rishi Sunak (May 12, 1980)

It may be too soon to tell, since the Tories will finally elect their next leader on September 9th but I like the odds of this happening. It feels a bit like Kamala Harris becoming Vice President of the United States. In other words, lightning striking twice…

Sunak‘s birth time is not known. (In my opinion, a prerequisite of public office should be the publication of birth details.) Most astrology sites will use dawn as the significant time, but here I have randomized the timing and then flipped AM to PM. That would make this chart more in line with his marriage at age 29 (Venus). There is a double Yod, with neither dependent on an exact birth time.

Sun Conjunct Mercury

You have a good mind, and you enjoy talking with people. A good conversation means more to you than many other things, but you may have one problem. This aspect indicates that you like to take the active role in any discussion; that is, you are a better talker than a listener. Even when you make a real effort to listen, your mind tends to wander to another topic or to your next remark. To a certain extent you can’t help this, but if you are conscious of it, you can prevent it from becoming a difficult problem. It may mean, however, that you can gain information more readily from reading than from listening to someone.

Sun Inconjunct Neptune

You are very sensitive to your environment and to the people around you. On one level of your being, you feel what is going on very acutely. Unfortunately your understanding often comes in terms that are very difficult to communicate to others, because their meaning is not clear in your own mind.

On the other hand, you can develop into a compassionate and understanding person who instinctively knows what others need and how to serve them. True selfless service to others, giving of yourself voluntarily rather than because you feel there is no choice, will make you feel good…

Sun Inconjunct Pluto

There will be many changes in your life, and you will be affected by deep psychological forces that may be difficult to understand at times, as well as confusing to the people around you. You approach people with great intensity, and your emotional involvements are seldom casual. Either you like people very much or you dislike them intensely. Possibly your attitudes on other matters will be extreme also. One of the most important lessons that you will have to learn is to be more moderate.

Mercury Inconjunct Neptune

The challenge of this aspect is to make your thinking and communication with others more clear. Your rational mind is strongly influenced by your sensitivity, imagination and ideals, although you aren’t always sure how this happens. You tend to spend too much time in your own imaginary world that no one else can share, and this confuses your dealings with others. You will have to learn to face reality, so that you can at least communicate with people. Otherwise you will have a very lonely life.

Mercury Inconjunct Pluto

You are likely to have some problems, but not serious ones, in communicating with others. The problem is that people’s first impression of you may not fit in with what you say or your manner of thinking and speaking. People tend to hear what they expect to hear, and they may not listen to you as carefully as they should. So you will have to be as clear as possible and insist that others listen to what you are really saying. If others do not understand you, it is up to you to set them straight.

(Ah, the politician’s curse, and blessing, no doubt.)

Great promo, eh?
