Alan Dershowitz: Trump's Legal Stuntman
Alan Dershowitz, a well known celebrity lawyer, inhabits the strange boundary between law and absolute freedom. He seems to push the legal system in name of freedom, often taking on very controversial cases. He was on Jeffrey Epstein's legal team which successfully helped him evade federal charges. In Epstein's defense Dershowitz went after victims' behavior in order to discredit them. He deemed the freedom of a pedophile to be a worthy cause. Dershowitz admitted to getting a massage at Epstein's mansion, which is suspicious. Dershowitz was also involved in the defense of O.J. Simpson and Harvey Weinstein. For these men Dershowitz spared no effort, left no stone unturned.
Why does Dershowitz want to help such men? Is it money or just ego: that he can pull off such legal stunts? Or is it something even more basic about his nature? Dershowitz's exact time of birth is known and an accurate astrological chart can be drawn. Let's see what clues it can give:
As expected, Uranus, the planet of rebellion, plays a prominent role in Dershowitz's chart. As a young student he was very rebellious. In his chart Uranus is at the tip of a T-square (red triangle) receiving energy from Jupiter and the Mercury-Mars conjunction. Jupiter amplifies the planets it touches, in this case the rebellion of Uranus as well as the verbal aggression of Mercury-Mars. Uranus in a tight semisquare to Eris also indicates rebellion and desire to provoke. Dershowitz fights very aggressively for what he considers causes of freedom. He is very passionate about freedom of speech, to the point of arguing that pornography is harmless and just free speech. Lately it resurfaced that he advocated for lowering the consent age of young people. He seems to be for removing social constraints and guardrails.
Astrologer Roger Elliot describes the planet Uranus as follows: "The essence of Uranus is mind over matter. It is associated with lateral thinking, the ability of man to bypass logic and make a sudden mental leap into unknown territory. All this implies freedom from former constraints." Uranus contacts are often associated with brilliant minds. But they are also a sign of non-conformity. According to Elliot Uranus people "...cannot abide being told what to do; they must run their own lives... and often go out of their way to befriend people who are considered outcasts by others." The cause of individual freedom can be pushed to the extreme by Uranus people, and Dershowitz certainly fits that mold. Dershowitz was not revolted by the men he represented.
So, how can Dershowitz stand to work within the complex legal system with all his inner rebellion? I believe it is because of his planets in Virgo and aspects to Saturn. Virgo, in which we find Dershowitz's Sun, Mercury and Neptune, is a sign of order and precision. Dershowitz is very meticulous and thorough in his legal preparations. Saturn in aspects to Mercury and Mars means that he stays within legal bounds. Exact semisextile of Saturn to Uranus also helps him integrate his arguments within established order. Still, he is compelled to push the envelope because of the many Uranus contacts which urge him to go against majority views.
Dershowitz has a powerful and penetrating mind. The outer planets Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto all make contacts to his Mercury. And he is a formidable foe with Mars conjunct his Mercury. Neptune does not cloud his thinking. But, Dershowitz does have a scarcity of planets in Water signs, especially personal planets. Astrologer Stephen Arroyo describes this effect as follows: "Most people with a lack of watery attunement have great difficulty entering into the feelings of others with empathy and compassion, as well as getting in touch with their own feelings and emotional needs." Dershowitz is attracted to the outrageous behavior of criminal men, but he seems to lack compassion for their victims.
Addendum (January 19, 2020)
Apparently Dershowitz is on Trump's defense team for the Impeachment Trial in the Senate. Dershowitz picked another lawless man to defend, now claiming that the Constitution does not find abuse of power to be impeachable. In Trump Dershowitz found another fellow Uranian creature. Trump with his Sun in conjunction to Uranus and North Node is a vivid example of the chaos and lawlessness such types can create. Dershowitz describes his role as "for the survival of the Constitution". He claims that the obstruction of Congress was "made up". He said that Trump's acquittal would make him personally unhappy, but then he said: "I want the impeachment to fail".
