Astrological Research Findings

What's with the love fest of Roger Stone and Richard Nixon? Why would Roger tattoo the image of the disgraced president on his back? Richard Nixon famously said: "I am not a crook", while Stone labels himself as a "dirty trickster". Nixon has been shown to be a crook, but never proudly owned it. While Stone is more of a court jester, Nixon wanted to be king, and he was the most powerful man in the world, for a while. But he blew it by playing dirty. Why would Roger Stone worship such a man? Birds of the same feather? Perhaps. What psychological traits do they have in common? They were more than a generation apart in age and grew up in different circumstances. Can Astrology shed some light? While there are just 5 astrological signs they have in common, they share numerous aspects between the same planets. Many of the same energies are at play in both Stone and Nixon. These aspects are listed in the table below:         Roger Stone:      ...

Mitch McConnell has made his reputation from killing legislative initiatives, not even letting them come for a vote. During the Obama administrations he led the party of "no". He has done his utmost to obstruct.  It is not surprising then to see the dominance of Fixed signs in his chart, shown below. It is a noon chart because his exact birth time is unknown. The Ascendant is not known, but the Moon is approximately right.                                   For a leader it is a bit strange to have only one planet in a Cardinal sign. Cardinal signs show initiative. But this may have been overcome by the fact that this one planet is Eris and in tight aspect to Pluto and Moon. His Sun is also in aspect to Pluto. Pluto means power and McConnell has spent his adult life pursuing power. He is adept at reading the political winds and aligning himself with them (Pisces Sun + 4 Mutable Planets). Pre...

I think that the Founding Fathers would be tossing in their graves if they knew that their love of free speech unleashed the reign of ignorant and vicious talk radio hosts such as Rush Limbaugh. It is dumbfounding to know that he commands an audience of 13 million a week and that he had a contract that paid him $ 400 million. He seems most antagonistic to women, to Blacks, other minorities, academics and liberal people who defend them. What is behind his intolerance and resentment of these people? I believe it is a profound feeling of scarcity and resentment: that he and his kind have to share with those they consider unworthy and undeserving. If he can't outright eliminate these unworthy people he will do his utmost to destroy the system which supports them. That is what the hysterical fuss is all about. To him the end justifies the means. What gives Rush his cause and zeal? What can his astrological chart tell us? In Rush's chart Saturn looms LARGE. Saturn is the pl...

William Barr wrote that the US government is "predicated precisely" on the Judeo-Christian system. This is an attempt to join church and state, which religious conservatives have always wanted to do. He also said that Catholic education should be promoted through tax breaks. William Barr is a product of Catholic education which above all else teaches the faithful not to question authority. And if misdeeds by authority are discovered, like in the Church, they are to be quickly covered up. Barr insisted that those involved in the Iran-Contra scandal be pardoned. The structure, the hierarchy, had to be defended. Truth is simply what the hierarchy tells the people. The Pope is never wrong. The hierarchy is never wrong. The individual must be subservient to authority. The only purpose of the individual is to protect and preserve the hierarchical structure. Barr has been described as having a "self-deprecating wit." That fits, for a man who serves the hierarchy. Wh...

As US Pluto slogs on its 245 year return to its natal position in Capricorn what can we expect? How is the stage set? Are the foundations of democracy crumbling in the age of Trump? Pluto in Capricorn signifies power of patriarchy. Trump is promoting patriarchy in a most virulent way. He openly admires "strong" leaders such as Putin. In 1776, at the birth of the United States, the patriarchal power was King George III. The colonists rebelled and fought for their independence. I take the birth of the United States to be on July 4, 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was ratified. So, 245 years later the US is facing another patriarchal, anti-democratic power in Trump, or should we say in Trump-Putin. The birth chart of the US is shown below: The US birth chart shows two strong clusters of energy: a Grand Trine in Air signs and a stellium in Cancer. The air signs are oriented toward communication with others, including all humanity. This is especially true for...

Steve Bannon may have been branded "Sloppy Steve", but Donald Trump could not hide a soft spot for his ex-adviser. What could account for such attraction and meeting of minds?                                           I will compare their astrological planets and signs. I do not have the exact time of birth for Steve Bannon, but I do have the exact time for Trump. I do not have the Ascendant for Bannon and his Moon is correct to a few degrees. From the table below it is clear that the signs and planets echo each other in an uncanny way. They amplified each other, found a stronger voice together and found a message that worked for Trump in 2016. ( To be clear: I in no way agree with or support their message) Donald Trump:                                            ...

Vladimir Putin is a formidable figure on the world stage. What can Astrology tell us about him? How does this match his actions? Putin's natal chart is shown below: The Pluto conjunct MC in Putin's chart is terrifying. The power of Pluto is being unleashed on the world stage. Pluto's negative side is ruthless power, elimination and destruction. Nuclear power is considered Plutonian because of its immense destructive power. Putin has used radioactive polonium to destroy his enemy Alexander Litvinenko in the UK. Putin also struck with a nerve agent against ex-spy Sergei Skripal. Presently Russia is developing even more terrifying weapons of mass destruction. Pluto in Putin's chart is in sextile aspect to the stellium of Sun, Saturn, Neptune, and Mercury in Libra. Putin is a very astute observer of human nature and a skilled diplomat when he needs to be, all Libra qualities. These qualities are magnified by the quincunx to Jupiter. The stellium is square Uran...
