Leeds astrological chart: Transport and routes

By Tricia
Astrologer Tricia looks at Leeds' astrological chart to see how the stars could influence how we travel in the city.


About Tricia

Tricia is Leeds born and bred, and has studied and practised astrology for over thirty years.

She uses both western (vedic) and eastern (yotish) methods of astrology. Tricia is a member of BAVA (British Association of Vedic Astrologers) which promotes vedic astrology.

Tricia says: "Venus, planet of conveyance, rules Jupiter, planet of horse-drawn conveyance, in this chart, so it should come as no surprise that horse power was a  major form of transportation even until the last century when Tetley horse-drawn carriages were finally withdrawn from the delivery service for the much loved Leeds brew.

"In 1870 horse-drawn trams were introduced foretold by third house Sagittarius, the centaur, ruled by Jupiter which rules horses. In 1870 the planets lined up to ensure this event when Jupiter shone down on the third house of transportation

"Prior to this in 1760, the first 'Flying Machine on Wheels', a stagecoach, was to make its first journey between Leeds and London. 

"With Mars, ruler of mechanical engineering, joining Venus and Uranus, we are promised electronic form of conveyance and certainly in 1891 Leeds became the first UK city to enjoy the use of an electric tramway, which ran from Sheepscar to Middleton, 12 years before its introduction to London.

"Venus, in the eleventh house, shows an ever-widening circulation of vehicle networks and with Uranus, ruling flight and aerial objects, heralds the development of the airport within the city boundaries.

"Noticeably this year with Uranus still in sixth of competition, and ruler Jupiter returning to the ascendant again, the new airport at Doncaster looks set to rival the services Loiners have so far enjoyed at the Leeds Bradford International Airport in Yeadon.

"With Mars in sixth in May and June this year, there could be heated battle between the two for our custom. Let's hope this means a price war as this is a 'war' we all benefit from and there are no real casualties!"
