Last week, Marine Le Pen was convicted of abusing European funds, and as a result, she would not be able to participate in the presidential elections in 2027. She was furious and spoke of a political process, an attack on democracy and the separation of powers. She was supported from every dark authoritarian and nepotistic regime, from Budapest, Moscow and Washington, extremely cynical because it is precisely Le Pen and her allies everywhere who are systematically breaking down and undermining the institutions of the rule of law. Politics is the art of lying and it brings out the worst in people. Truth is always the first victim of the lust for power.
Appeal
The French legal system turned out not to be completely insensitive to all the fuss because the appeal in this case was brought forward to the summer of next year. This means that if Le Pen wins the appeal, she can still be a candidate in the presidential elections in May 2027, normally an appeal takes longer. But it remains to be seen, of course, whether the appeal will be in her favor and whether the ban on candidacy in election will be withdrawn. In that context, it is interesting to take a look at the movements in her hororoscope in the summer of 2026.
Crisis zone
There are many ways to do that, but because it is all about what happens in the months of June, July and August, we look at the tertiary progressions, just like last week. With the tertiary progressions you can follow the development on a monthly scale in great detail, the tertiary key is 1 day = 1 month. If the appeal is positive for Le Pen, there should be positive movements in those summer months. If we look at the progressions at the beginning of August, we see the Moon pass through the Algol crisis zone, indiacting a time of great tension.
Poison cup
The Moon is also conjunct limiting Saturn and will soon leave Taurus (the tertiary Moon moves twelve degrees per month), fall out of its exaltation and with its entry into Gemini, activates the sign ruler Mercury. In the radix, Mercury is Lord 12 of punishment, so that doesn’t look so good. Furthermore, the Sun of leadership comes into conjunction with overwhelming Pluto and it moves over Labrum a star of fate, where the poisoned cup must be emptied. A little further on, the Sun is going to its fall, which does not indicate renewed leadership in autumn ’26 .
South Node
The MC does not make the picture more hopeful because it moves over the South Node in this month, which forces you to a painful sacrifice! It is always useful to take a look at the degree images of Johannes Engel, and concentrate on the Ascendant. It is in the eighteenth degree of Scorpio, the degree picture is a woman hiding behind a door, and that would also be in accordance with what the direction already showed above.
