Astrological Research Findings

Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi as leaders in Congress hold positions of great power and responsibility. One would expect them to be strong people, but inclined toward different attitudes and policies. Their choice of political parties probably says a lot about them. Do astrological charts reflect their strengths as well as their differences? One notable difference is the sign of their Moon, the planet that reveals our deep emotional predisposition. The Moon as our closest planetary neighbor exerts powerful effects on life on Earth.                                                                                          In McConnell's noon chart (shown below) the Moon in Taurus is the central character. Its power is enhanced by energies from Mercury-Venus, S...

People ask: why did a man of Manafort's background and education choose a life of deceit and crime? He was certainly not a Robin Hood. His spoils were for himself. He lavished himself with expensive real estate, designer suits and the now infamous $15,000 ostrich jacket. The astrological sign that screams "me" in spades is Aries. Manafort has Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Eris and True Node in Aries. This is Aries on steroids. A noon natal chart is shown below. Manafort's Moon is in Taurus, the sign of material security. It is in stressful aspect to Neptune (quincunx) and to the planets in Aries (semisextile). This probably means that his dreams found a material expression, such as the ostrich jacket. In addition, the stressful aspects between Sun, Venus, and Mars indicate a person of strong desires.  Pluto square the Moon indicates that he felt compelled to be materially successful. This is a man who knew the law (J.D. Georgetown) and yet he ignored it. He ...

Stephen Paddock opened fire from the 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas and killed 58 people and injured 851 more. It is always puzzling why a person who lived within law for so many years would suddenly act out violently and commit murder on a mass scale. Was there something specific that triggered him? How much of it was that he always had a violent predisposition that stayed dormant? Certainly there is some evidence that those who were mistreated as children are more likely to become abusers themselves. But not always. There seem to be traits in some people that make them more likely to strike out violently. They have a shorter fuse to violence. In Astrology we look for clues in a persons birth chart. But, not every person born on that day will commit murder. Still, the chart could offer important clues. Another killer, Bernard Giles, a serial killer of women, was born on that same day, April 9, 1953. This makes it more likely that this chart will give clues as to w...

During February 2-4, 2019 the dwarf planet Eris was in exact conjunction to Mars. If Astrology is to have credibility, we would expect some kind of world event to take place that has to do with war or aggression (Mars). Eris, as a planet of discord and strife, would combine with Mars to create some kind of militaristic challenge. On February 4, 2019 The Hill  and Newsweek reported that Russia installed a new kind of weapon called Filin on two warships with plans to do more. This is a novel electronic weapon that fires a strobe-like beam that disables their opponents. It affects the opponents neurologically by disrupting their eyesight and making them hallucinate and vomit. This makes them unable to defend themselves. For a man like Putin who is fond of using nerve agents and polonium to go after his enemies, the choice of this weapon may not seem strange. The attacks on US embassy personnel in Cuba are also suspicious. Is there something astrologically at this time that ties P...

October 7, 2016 was a surprising day. The release of Access Hollywood tape that day shook the Trump campaign and the release of emails by Wikileaks 30 minutes later was an unexpected twist. As much as the emails helped Trump, they also pointed to Russia's involvement. What can Astrology tell us about that day? The first remarkable thing is that it coincided with the exact conjunction of the dwarf planet Eris and Uranus. Eris was at 23 degrees 10 minutes, and Uranus was at 22 degrees 49 minutes of Aries. Eris has been called the planet of discord, of unexpected plunge into chaos and strife. Uranus is the planet of sudden change, of breaking of restrictions. The union of these two energies in a conjunction would bring about very disturbing change. Eris had been within 1 degree of Uranus since May 2016. This was during the time when Trump was securing his nomination. The chaos and strife he was bringing was coming into focus and the Russians were already assisting him. The noon...
