"Barrage the Farage" astrology-style: What his birth chart reveals about Nigel's Rise in Popularity & Political Influence

He’s ready, he’s willing, he’s able, and he seems unstoppable. Since his somewhat unplanned return to politics last year, the Reform UK party leader, officially an MP since July 2024, has taken everything in his stride and never succumbed to the onslaught of critics and naysayers in order to make his mark. Reform’s recent election success which secured many council seats, along with membership numbers going up and up, is boosting Nigel’s huge popularity and support amongst younger voters especially.

Nigel’s astrology at a glance:

As an assertive Aries Sun, he certainly has a huge potential and enough ambition to be a courageous and innovative leader. This masculine fire sign is confident, high-energy, and loves to jump at a chance the moment it presents itself. Ego and stubbornness can get in the way if Aries loses their focus on following their inspiring goals and raw authentic passion, so it’s crucial to stick with their true convictions and not allow themselves to be influenced by other’s expectations and limitations.

Farage’s Moon in open-minded Sagittarius adds a strong patriotic spirit, an interest in global affairs, and an optimistic, hopeful vision for the future, along with the belief that the good side will win the race. This disposition is enhanced by Jupiter’s very favourable position in Aries, fully supporting and cheering on his Moon. It’s a highly patriotic, growth-loving, and popularity-increasing constellation. Both Aries and Sagittarius are fire signs, enthusiastic go-getters who love movement and exploring the unknown. His chart ruler Mercury placed in the house of Sagittarius supports and approves this message!

Nigel’s birth chart also reveals the disruptive energy he’s capable of unleashing on society and when it comes to changing his own course and life direction, courtesy of innovator Uranus’ strong position. Upsetting the status quo, preferably by addressing what nobody wants to hear but what he’s picking up straight from the collective consciousness, and stunning people with some unpredictable moves is his specialty.

Saving the best for last, one of the most striking factors in his chart is none other than power house Pluto, the transformer and exposer, placed bang on his Ascendant in Virgo. His ability to analyse and apply laser-focused and pragmatic strategy stands out, and when the truth gets too uncomfortable and scary for most people, that’s when Nigel’s only getting started to dig deep and pull away the veil.

The big question: Does his astrology favour his success? Here’s what Nigel Farage's birth chart says about his political future:

With Jupiter, the planet of fortune and success, currently activating his 10th house of career and public recognition, he has the ability to communicate an abundance of ideas and maximise his reach, followers, and of course his party’s poll numbers. However, Jupiter in Gemini is in its detriment (that’s dignity rules in classical astrology) and can easily fall prey to information and activity overload where the most important messages get lost in the noise, superficiality, overwhelm, and a scattered mind. After all, Jupiter seeks deeper exploration and growth, and Gemini’s quick-moving, sometimes aloof and careless nature can prevent Jupiter from establishing more meaningful exchange of knowledge and connections.

So, Nigel’s got to watch those potential pitfalls and make sure his messaging is clear and creates lasting connections and support. Apart from that, the jovial and generous vibe is a great asset. When Jupiter moves into Cancer shortly, it will still activate his career sector but probably with more emotionality behind it, which could benefit him with regards to making “personal vibe” connections and drawing new people into his circle with a very welcoming and heartfelt approach.

In June 2027, the disruptive forces of "wrecking ball" Uranus will arrive at his Gemini MC, his personal career point and interface with public and social life. But Uranus already comes close in September 2026, which means upheaval will be in full swing around summer time. This transit through his 10th house will show whether he'll be able to steer the Reform UK course and rebuild the political system beyond just tearing the old and broken one down, or perhaps even be forced to choose a completely different direction e.g. due to personal circumstances (this is a possibility because Uranus rules this sector). With two of his Big Three in mutable signs, his birth chart confirms he's pretty good at adapting.

At age 62, Nigel’s solar arc directed Mars will reach his Midheaven in August 2028, and it’s already within orb now – signaling that the MP for Clacton is certainly ready to take on the fight of his life. This may also put him even more in the spotlight as a fighter for free speech and debate and against established authority figures, so his astrology clearly recommends to continue to watch his back with great vigilance. Mars is the ruler of his Sun sign Aries and describes his most visible and authentic way of expressing what he stands for.

His natal Mars is placed in early Aries, giving him an exceptional ability to take courageous action, and it will be visited by transiting Saturn in March next year. Could it indicate his most significant power move or leadership advancement to date? It certainly could. Saturn rules his 5th house – creative and authentic self-expression and personal authority. Ultimate responsibility and power seem to be on the cards shortly after when Saturn reaches Nigel’s Sun in June 2026, a highly important planetary transit in any chart.

It potentially indicates major challenges and obstacles to overcome, fighting against rules and wrestling with fierce opposition, and equally hints at the possibility of successfully landing the top spot in British government. Nigel Farage’s renowned fighting spirit, which he demonstrated throughout his time as a member of the European Parliament (1999-2020) will be essential, but integrity, perseverance, as well as consistent, passion-driven, unwavering focus will most llikely move the needle in terms of the best possible outocome.
