Andrew Bevan, QHP, DMS Astrol. Eurovision Song Contest 2011
It's early days yet, but the first
glance at the chart for the Eurovision Song Contest Final to be held
in Düsseldorf on May 14. 2011 suggests that Victory will be moving
West. The United Kingdom, Ireland and France are on the top of
astrologer Andrew Bevan's list in predictions presented at Skyscript.co.uk
already on October 16. 2010 - and that is before
participating nations had decided their winning entries!! Bevan held
Alexander Rybak as outright favorite for the 2009 final and predicted
success for Lena Meyer and Germany in 2010. Can a map of the Heavens provide any information
of who is in for a chance this time round? In 2011 it is likely to be
an exciting contest!
Chart for the Eurovision
2011 Final, Düsseldorf, Germany.
The chart shows the Sun angular in the chart on
the cusp of the 7th house. It's just before Sunset and the Sun
in the sign of Taurus could this take the victory SouthWest?
Mercury, Lord of the 10th house applies to Venus in Aries.
Mars, who is Lord of the 5th house, is in the exaltation
degree of the Moon in Taurus and in mutual reception with
Venus. This could be interpreted to be nations like the United
Kingdom or Ireland, or maybe the flashy Sun in the horizon
could prove a testimony for France? |

| No Surprise: The actual 'Song' is likely to
provide the crucial clue. But what are we looking for? -
Considering the angular Sun in the 7th
house and the Moon in Libra, together with the condition of
Mars in the exaltation degree of the Moon and in reception
with Venus - I wonder whether the lyrics will reflect
partnership, sharing, travel and belonging together, says
Andrew Bevan. There is nothing extraordinary about that - but
maybe Mars in the 6th also has something to do about
functionality and solving a problem.

Update
on the 2011 Contest
I am very pleased with developments in this year’s Eurovision so
far. That is considering that as early as October last year the
early suggestion that victory may move SouthWest, and that either
England, Ireland or France may win. With ‘England’ I do, of
course, mean the United Kingdom. I forgot. My mistake. Someone
should explain why the United Kingdom is entered into some
contests, while the Union is broken down into England, Scotland
and Wales in others. However, I am pleased with the development of
the prediction, considering it was made BEFORE
the songs even were selected. According to Bookmakers, France
is favorite by odds, followed by Estonia
and with the United Kingdom
running 3rd. That is two of my three candidates in the top three!!
Now we have had opportunity to listen to the entries. I have to be
honest, while ‘Lipstick’, representing Taurus-ruled Ireland,
is likely to rock a wide audience, I don’t think it is going to
make it to the top this year. If I was to swap cards and exchange
one Taurus nation for another, I would probably go for Azerbaijan
– but this is South East of Dûsseldorf and does not agree with
the initial prediction.
Matching nation, title and lyrics
with the event chart
My opinion is that the winning entry is likely to be that nation
that has a suitable entry that comes closest to the event chart at
time the final hits off in Düsseldorf at 21.00 CEST on May 14.
2011.

original about that - but maybe Mars in the 6th also has

Azerbaijan
In my opinion, a great song performed by sympathetic artists. The trouble with the Azerbaijan entry is that it is called ‘Running
Scared’ and the lyrics remind me of someone in desperate
consideration of whether to jump of the side of a bridge (Moon in
Libra). The song
is about a guy so crazy for this girl he’s scared about just
about everything… breathing, life, the light, the dark. All the
same, he seems to think this demonstrates satisfactory strength to
attract and protect the girl of his life. I think not. Well, in
the event chart there is the mutual reception between Mars and
Venus, rulers of the 1st and 7th houses. The Moon has recently
separated from the body of Saturn and square of Pluto. That could
be about enough to scare the wits out of anyone. But I feel the
song misses it’s mark. Mars, lord of the 5th, is in the
exaltation degree of the Moon will reach higher. Mars was in the
very same degree in Taurus in the horary chart in 1987 that
predicted Ireland would win, but here the state of Taurus-urgency
was expressed by the phrase 'Hold
Me Now!' (Link)
France
The French entry, Sognu (
“Dream” or “I Would Dream About Her” ) does reach higher
and could be the winner. The first thing that caused me to pick
France as a candidate was the angularity of the Sun. France being
ruled by Leo. The nation is also located SouthWest of Germany, as
could be shown by the significator in Taurus on the cusp of the
7th house. The song is about a warrior who expresses the
dedication to his love on the evening before he is due to go to
battle. ‘Dream’ could be an appropriate title for a winning
song with planet Neptune recently entering Pisces, but Neptune
isn’t significantly tied into the chart. For France’s winning
potential it is more important to consider the Moon’s antiscia
to the Midheaven, she being the Star of Slumber. And there are
many indications that the French entry is a dedication to the
Moon. Quote:
‘Dream of her lips, of
her soft and pure voice, Of a memory forever embraced, of this
night, right by your side.’ I am knelt down in front of the
ocean.’ etc. It is powerful poetry.
The Mars is in the exaltation degree of the Moon, in reception
with Venus in Aries. As we listen to the music, there are the
‘military’ drums in the background that reminds of
Gustav Holst’s masterpiece ‘Mars,
The Bringer of War’. Mars is in the 6th house, which
according to Van Norstand represents the military forces. Sognu
does also have a Romeo-Juliet quality about it and ends
with the words “My beloved, if you
die, I'll die with you”. Less the reception, Mars and
Venus are in the sign of their detriments and they depend upon one
another.
United Kingdom
I think this years Eurovision is going to be United Kingdom and
France. The UK gets to enjoy the Sun on the cusp of the 7th house,
because the Sun is exalted in Aries, signifying Britain, and the
direction is still right. And there will have been a Royal Wedding
(7th house) that is likely to cause a rally for the Union Jack and
national interests for some time to come. Leo is intercepted in
the 9th house, which could indicate ‘something on an Island’,
if the French favorite doesn’t make it to the finishing line.
The song title ‘I Can’
does bear closeness to Obama’s
winning slogan during his run for presidency a few years ago: ‘Yes,
We Can!' However, the term ‘I Can’ is one of the most
obvious expressions of
functionality you can get to (i.e. Mars in the 6th)
and seeing he is in reception with Venus who is in Aries in
conjunction with Mercury, so there is nothing wrong with either
readiness or aptness.
In the event chart the Moon is in the 17th degree of Libra in the
11th house and separates from the opposition to the Part of
Fortune in the 5th. The entry that is performed by the reunited
boy-band ‘Blue’ starts with the lyrics; You
were the eyes in the face of fortune, I lost my way and I
couldn’t find you. We’re not the first ones to be divided.
Won’t be the last to be reunited. And then there is the
refrain; “I can, I will, I
know, I can untie these hands.“ There is a strong
indication to the presence of Mars, Aries and influence of
Mercury. The song has a good drumbeat and the title ‘I Can’
addresses itself in an immediate, urgent and direct manner similar
to ‘Hold Me Now!' as
referred to earlier.
There is also a political consideration being that in a time of
such uncertainty in both Europe and the world at large, I think,
as last year, the poll will tend to seek out one of the 'Big
nations' who play an important part in multi-national economical
or political issues, and hold the keys as it were, and a nation
that can demonstrate strong national traditions both historically
and on a global level.
Maybe France have the best song, but the United Kingdom could
still come out as winners. My first bet goes with the United
Kingdom. Good Luck to all entries! |
