Britain's Financial Scandal

From today's NY Times:
"After days of mounting pressure over Britain’s parliamentary expenses scandal, Michael Martin, the speaker of the House of Commons, announced Tuesday that he would step down — the first holder of the prestigious position to be ousted in more than 300 years.

“In order that unity can be maintained, I have decided that I will relinquish the office of speaker on Sunday, June 21,” he said. A successor would be appointed the next day." Read More

Besides the big hits to England's natal horoscope, the current Mercury retrograde phase- which is a time of sorting out problems, is linked to parliament's financial scandal, as it occurs in England's 2nd house of money, and will station-direct near England's Neptune(scandals) May 30. Moreover, the New Moon of May 24 signifies the beginning of a new economic period.

Michael Martin's(7/3/45) natal Venus is 26 Taurus(Algol), where Mercury's going back and forth- and his Venus is also being squared by the triple conjunction in Aquarius. This is a case where the less favorable themes of that alignment are obvious- i.e. high hopes and expectations, that end in disillusionment.
