Rising star

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak seems to be a rising star on the world stage. At the Munich Security Conference this week, he actively rallied European leaders to "double down" on their support for Ukraine in its fight against the invading Russian forces. He has also been heavily engaged in resolving the challenging issue of Northern Ireland and its relationship with the rest of the UK and the EU. This issue arose as a result of the 2016 BREXIT referendum and prior leaders have been unable to resolve it, but Mr. Sunak is reported to be close to reaching a deal with the EU, even if he is tempering expectations.  

As background, we may recall that on July 7, 2022, Mr. Boris Johnson announced his decision to resign as Prime Minister and leader of the Conservative Party. This called for a leadership contest. Soon, two candidates, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, emerged as front runners. 

In a message on SAMVA list on Groups Io at 09:08 AM GMT on July 23, 2022, based on their horoscopes -- Ms Liz Truss likely has Cancer rising and Rishi Sunak has Leo rising --  I made the following prediction concerning their prospects 

"A change in fortune is seen for both people from Feb. 2023, good for Sunak and negative for Truss."

 "The movement of tr 7L Saturn into Aquarius and Sunak's 7H in Feb. 2023 and tr 5L Jupiter entering Aries and his 9H in May 2023, will doubtless be a boon to his career. Sunak has by far the stronger chart but transits of 5L Jupiter in 8H and 7L Saturn in 6H currently weigh him down. Strong 9L Mars period starts Feb. 2023." 

"Possibly she may win and get into trouble early on, while his career prospects strengthen considerably next year." 

Some people may not recall Liz Truss, who served as UK Prime Minister only briefly, from September 6 to  October 25, 2022. However, they are likely to become more familiar with Rishi Sunak, especially after April 18, 2023, when transit 5th lord Jupiter enters the sign Aries and his 9th house of his Leo rising horoscope.
