Your Party’s Horoscope: A Star is Born (With Complications)
On Sunday, 30 November 2025, at exactly 16:42 in Liverpool, a new political entity took its first full breath. The delegates of the movement founded by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana finally agreed on a permanent name, "Your Party", and ratified a constitution. In the world of mundane astrology, this moment casts the "Natal Chart" of the organisation, setting the spiritual DNA for its future.
At the Wilfred Hazelwood Clinic, we usually analyse the psyches of individuals, but organisations have souls too. Having attended the online conference myself, I watched this birth happen in real-time. The chart that emerged is fascinating, contradictory, and deeply volatile. It captures a movement caught between the fire of activism and the fog of bureaucracy.
The Ascendant: The Two Faces of Gemini
The chart features an Ascendant of 23° Gemini. The Ascendant represents the "Face" of the party, how it is seen by the public and its immediate instinctual reaction. Gemini is the sign of the Twins: duality, communication, youth, and adaptability. This suggests a party that will always struggle with a split identity (Old Left vs. New Left? Corbyn vs. Sultana?) but will excel at grassroots communication and social media.

Crucially, the ruler of this Gemini Ascendant is Mercury. In this chart, Mercury is positioned at 20° Scorpio and is Stationary Direct (having just ended its retrograde). This is a powerful signature. A stationary planet is like a laser beam. Mercury in Scorpio is the detective, the forensic analyst, and the speaker of uncomfortable truths. It suggests that behind the friendly, chatty Gemini mask, the party’s mind is intense, obsessive, and focused on exposing deep corruption ("the truth about the economy," "genocide," etc.). It gives the party a mental steel that Gemini usually lacks.
The Moon in Aries: The Fury of the Membership
In mundane astrology, the Moon represents the rank-and-file membership. In this chart, the Moon is in Aries in the 11th House (Groups, Hopes, and Dreams). Aries is the sign of war, impulse, and pioneering action.
This tells us the membership is not here for slow committee meetings or gradual reform. They are angry, energetic, and impatient. They want to fight. The 11th House placement confirms their idealism, but the Aries energy suggests a constant risk of infighting. This is a membership that leads from the front, perhaps even leading the leadership. They are the engine of the party, but an engine that runs hot and risks burnout or explosion if not directed carefully.
Sun and Mars in Sagittarius: The Ideological Crusade
The Sun (Identity) and Mars (Drive) are conjunct in Sagittarius. In the Whole Sign house system, this falls in the 7th House, the house of "The Other," Partners, and Open Enemies.
Sagittarius is the archetype of the Preacher, the Philosopher, and the Internationalist. This placement cements "Your Party" as a fundamentally ideological project. It is driven by global justice, foreign policy, and moral crusades. However, the Sun-Mars conjunction is combustible. It suggests a party that is defined by what it fights against (the 7th House). It needs an opponent (the "Establishment," "Starmerism," "Imperialism") to feel alive. While this gives them immense campaigning energy, Mars in the 7th can also indicate a party prone to legal battles and endless public spats.
Saturn and Neptune: The Dissolving Throne
The most concerning, yet poetic, aspect of the chart is the condition of the authority figures. Saturn (Structure/Leadership) is conjunct Neptune (Dreams/Dissolution) in Pisces in the 10th House (Public Standing/Leadership).
This is the classic signature of "Socialism", the attempt to build a structure (Saturn) out of a dream (Neptune). It reflects the "Collective Leadership" model the party has adopted. However, astrologically, Neptune dissolves Saturn. This suggests a leadership structure that is porous, confusing, or perhaps sacrificial. There is a danger here of the leadership becoming a "martyr" complex, or simply dissolving into bureaucratic fog when faced with the hard reality of governance. It is a beautiful vision, but structurally fragile.
Uranus in the 12th: The Ghost in the Machine
Finally, we find Uranus at the very end of Taurus in the 12th House (The Unconscious/Hidden Enemies). Uranus is the planet of disruption. In the 12th House, it acts like a saboteur or a hidden awakener.
This placement suggests that the party’s true revolutionary power comes from the collective unconscious, tapping into a deep, subterranean frustration in the British psyche that the mainstream media (Gemini) cannot see. However, it also warns of "hidden enemies" within, or self-undoing through stubbornness (Taurus). The party must be careful that its desire for revolution doesn't manifest as subconscious self-sabotage.
The Verdict
"Your Party" has been named under a sky of high drama. It has the voice of a prophet (Sagittarius), the fists of a boxer (Aries), but the feet of a dreamer (Pisces). If the Saturnian leadership can hold the container together, the Aries membership will provide the rocket fuel. But if the Neptune fog descends, the fire may simply burn the house down.
