Luxembourg became an independent state in 1839, when the Sun was in
the innovative, dynamic fire sign of Aries. Born with the Sun and Pluto
together, this small state, despite its fiery heart, has always maintained
a low profile, but the horoscope describes a nation which wields considerable
power and influence behind the scenes.
The movements of the outer planets
through this chart over the next few years are quiet and benign. But
two very important planetary cycles complete themselves in the horoscope
of Luxembourg: Uranus returns to its natal place in Pisces, and Neptune
returns to its place in Aquarius. This suggests that Luxembourg has
completed a full cycle in its development, and will enter the new century
ready
to begin an entirely new phase in its life.
Neptune moving through
Aquarius, coming back to where it was placed when the nation was born,
emphasises
Luxembourg's openness to involvement with, and service to, a global
culture and economy, for this nation is particularly attuned to the
Aquarian world-view which is increasingly changing our outlook on life.
Uranus
moving through Pisces, also coming back to where it was placed at
Luxembourg's birth and forming a challenging aspect to Saturn, activates
a tension
between old and new, traditional and innovative, conservative and
liberal, which is inherent in this horoscope, suggesting that conflict-
particularly
in religious and legal spheres - can lead to new creative thinking
which
can ensure Luxembourg's continuing
influence as a "power behind the throne" in Europe.
