It is not possible to establish a date for the beginning of the Danish
Kingdom, which emerged during the 10th century and achieved the status
of a great European power. The current Danish horoscope is that of the
foundation of the liberal constitution with its constitutional monarchy
and parliamentary government, which occurred in 1849 under the versatile,
communicative, and intellectually far-ranging sign of Gemini. This birth
chart reflects a strong commitment to spiritual and social ideals, a
powerful work ethic, and a deep dedication to public service, sometimes
at odds with the freedom-loving and fiercely independent emotional life
of the people.
The movement of Pluto through Sagittarius is already bringing
about many changes in Denmark's fundamental religious, political, and
social ideals, and throughout the next decade, a new spirit of freedom
and expansion is likely to continually and increasingly challenge certain
intellectually based precepts and ideological perspectives which have
dominated in the past. Pluto also moves over that area of the horoscope
concerned with roots and the past, and this may require some real soul-searching
and re-evaluation of old beliefs and attitudes that have been taken
for granted but are now past their sell-by date.
The European Union may
pose
many challenges for Denmark, because although Gemini is an adaptable
and socially equable sign, it is also fiercely independent and resistant
to too many rules imposed from outside. Rules may be accepted from
within, but not when they are imported from elsewhere. Virgo on the
Ascendant in Denmark's horoscope, and Saturn placed in the house of relationships
with other countries, also reflect a strong need for autonomy, privacy,
and self-sufficiency.
Whether or not you personally are in sympathy
with
such attitides, the country as a whole is inclined to fiercely
resist interference from other countries,
and in a time when "global" is the operative word, this emphasises the caution
with which present political change is likely to be met. The flexibility, ingenuity,
and generosity of spirit reflected in this chart guarantee, however, that such
changes will ultimately be acceptable and prove positive and creative on all
levels of Danish life.
