Jack Layton is contesting the May 2 2011 Canadian Federal Election as leader of the New Democratic Party. This minority party is to the left of the political spectrum, and in the last election Layton won 18% of the popular vote. Will he do any better this time around? Time to check out his transits.
Fortunately we do have a time of birth for Jack, 1:30 pm on July 18 1950 in Montreal*. The Full Moon two weeks before the election is at 26 degrees Libra, right on his Ascendant, should make him very popular, in the limelight. Also very positive is Uranus trine his Midheaven. This suggests an exciting new direction in the career. This comes on top of Jupiter sextile his Venus which will add to his charm and appeal with the voters. Should do well.
