Amy Coney Barrett: One for the Middle Ages

Amy Coney Barrett is a supermom. The archetype of the mother is emphasized heavily in her astrological chart. Moon in Cancer signifies a heavy emotional involvement with motherhood and family. In real life she is a mother of 7, confirming this indication. She will promote and advocate for motherhood, even to those who do not desire it, because it is the most important thing to her.



The astrological noon chart is shown below. The exact birth time is not known and the ascendant is not known, but the remaining planets are revealing.


The Moon in Cancer is one of the focal points in her chart. The energies of Mars and Uranus feed to the Moon by a T-square. This means that she will fight (Mars) by all means (Uranus) for motherhood and family (Moon). With these planets being in Cardinal signs, it means that she will take decisive actions toward her aims. She will forcefully defend any threats to her supreme values of motherhood and family.

The second T-square is focused on Mercury in Capricorn. She will use her verbal skills (Mercury) to fight (Mars) by any means possible (Uranus). With Mars in Aries, the sign it rules, we can expect verbal aggression. Mercury in Capricorn indicates that her thinking is traditional and bound by social rules. 

She has 2 additional T-squares, one focused on Mars and the other on Uranus. The four planets: Moon, Mars, Mercury and Uranus are how she will most actively express herself. She will champion the supreme value of motherhood and family by fighting verbally and doing whatever is necessary to uphold her traditional views.

Another strong pattern in her chart is the Grand Trine of Sun/Mercury with Saturn and Pluto. Saturn in Taurus is stubborn and rigid and the trine with Pluto makes it stronger. This woman is not easily moved on her positions. What she thinks is pretty much set in stone. Even the quincunx of Jupiter does not do much. It might make her more dogmatic. Cardinal and Fixed signs dominate her chart, which indicates that she is unlikely to change her mind.

The Venus in Pisces suggests a certain passivity and non-assertiveness in personal relationships. On the other hand, her Mars in Aries is ready to attack if deeper values, such as motherhood, are threatened. Amy Coney Barrett has this ability to be submissive and yet be defensive of her submission.

The Sun in Aquarius and Mercury in Capricorn both have Saturn as a planetary ruler. This makes Amy Coney Barrett hold fast to the structures that she believes are right and good for society. These structures are again reinforced by the oppressive energies of Saturn and Pluto (Grand Trine). 

The planet Neptune represents our true spiritual values or our delusions and escapes. With Amy Coney Barrett Neptune is opposed by her powerful Saturn, which probably means that she confuses rigid rules with true spirituality. Her Neptune is also disturbed by strange inputs from Uranus, by her strong maternal feelings from the Moon, and by the aggressiveness of Mars in Aries. These strange influences on her Neptune could have led Amy Coney Barrett to join the cultish group People of Praise. This group believes in strict rules and structures and definitely requires women to submit to male hierarchy. For Amy Coney Barrett this group clicked all the boxes.

Like Mike Pence, Bill Barr and Brett Kavanaugh Judge Barrett has her planet Mars in a stressful aspect to Uranus. This likely means that Mars (which includes sexuality) experiences some weird and disturbing impulses from Uranus which these people fear and try to suppress. They use religion to control these impulses. With Judge Barrett Mars and Uranus tie in to Neptune as stressful aspects. 

If women's reproductive choices are eliminated, we might as well live in the Middle Ages. This is what the fundamentalist religions want. They want  the rules that were spelled out 1000 or even 2000 years ago pounded into the population. Free thinking and scientific discoveries that question their "truths" they want to suppress. 

Amy Coney Barrett is dangerous because she will have the power to affect the health and well being of 330 million people. The planetoid Chiron is known as the wounded healer in Astrology. In Barrett's chart Chiron is in close conjunction to her natal Eris. This combination could mean that Judge Barrett is likely to have a shocking and profound effect on the health and life of Americans, and probably not for the better. 

Addendum: November 26, 2020

Well, it started. How much sickness and death will result because of Amy Coney Barrett's decision? She ruled against restrictions on religious gathering in NYC in a 5:4 decision. Religion was considered more important than the health and safety of the congregants.

RBG and Antonin Scalia: An Unlikely Friendship

Image
The two, now deceased, justices of the Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia had an unusual, yet true friendship. They managed it in spite of being most often on the opposite sides of the Court's decisions. For RBG the issue that was of prime concern was the equality of women. To her equality meant that women should be in charge of their bodies. She wrote: "The state controlling a woman would mean denying her full autonomy and full equality." Antonin Scalia certainly had no such concerns. He never strayed far from the teachings of the Catholic Church which are based on a patriarchal society of 2000 years ago. From that perspective women were just reproductive vessels to be used by men. Yes, there seems to be an elevation of the Virgin Mary in the Catholic Church, which could just be a cover-up for the fact that Mary was an unwed pregnant teen. They sold the virgin birth really hard and it stuck. How could an intelligent man like Scalia buy into these irrat...

Donald Trump and Boris Johnson: Men for our times ?

Image
Are Donald Trump and Boris Johnson the right men for our times?  Do they really reflect where their countries are at this time?  It depends on whom you ask. The progressives would clearly say "No" because the chain of progress seems to have been  broken. Most of the less educated folks would say that it is time to dig in for a national identity, to bring back a more glorious past (MAGA) when they felt more honored and less threatened. The threat is to their majority, as the influx of browner immigrants is rising in number and status. This fear is at a primitive visceral level. They let the herd instinct take over. These are the people of the MAGA rallies. They are also the more economically threatened people. But, the top 1% has hitched on to this populist movement because they see that immigrants are scapegoated and not the 1% that keeps the wages stagnant and opportunities limited. Since we live in "democratic" countries, those who come out to vote...

Paul Manafort: Shady Adventures

Image
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 ...
