I was going to write about Donald Trump pulling the US out of the Iran deal but then I realized that all I had to say about that was, “You should not make important, irrevocable decisions that could lead to nuclear war in the Middle East when Saturn is opposed to your Mercury!” So, I decided to write about the downfall of New York Attorney General, Eric Schneiderman instead.
Schneiderman has been accused by multiple women of physical abuse. He claims that that the encounters he had with these women were consensual and that any “abuse” that might have occurred was part of sexual role playing to which the women in question agreed. The story told by the women through Ronan Farrow, the same reporter who broke the Harvey Weinstein scandal, is different.
I suppose no one was surprised when Donald Trump called on his friend and supporter Rudy Giuliani to join his legal team. Giuliani was one of the first mainstream Republicans to back Trump and he campaigned hard to get him elected president. More important, Giuliani got his start in politics by developing a reputation as a tough prosecutor of high-profile defendants. Now he going to be sitting on the other side of the legal seesaw and attempt to thwart the prosecution of the highest profile defendant of them all.
One glance at Giuliani’s horoscope (click on Rudy Giuliani to see the chart) tells that he is a no-nonsense kind of a guy. Like his new boss, Giuliani has the Sun in Gemini conjunct Uranus. He is a problem solver and he isn’t afraid of disturbing the status quo if that’s what finding a solution requires. Also, Saturn sits almost directly on his Midheaven. He is seen as a serious person, as a figure of authority and righteousness.
Even though the event was four days ago, we’re still seeing fallout from Michelle Wolf’s performance at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner. A lot of people say she went too far with her jokes about Trump and his minions. Other’s defend her, maintaining that it is a comedian’s job to push the limits. Personally, I wonder if the gap between the pro-Trump people and the anti-Trump people hasn’t grown so wide that even comedy can’t bridge it.
Looking at a horoscope for Wolf (click on Michelle Wolf to see a chart done for noon on her date of birth) it isn’t hard to find the reason she’s having a hard time right now. Saturn is moving retrograde opposite her natal Mars. This is always a difficult transit. It sometime brings illness or injury, but it can also coincide with actions that draw criticism, particularly from figures of authority. If we had a time of birth for Wolf I might be able to say more, but this certainly describes the current situation.
I have to admit that I was a little disappointed that we didn’t see more “action” from the March 31 New Moon, but when I read through what I wrote two weeks ago I realized that much of it was on the nose. (Click here to see the article and the chart.) Since the New Moon involved the 6th House of employees I had said that we might see the departure of another Trumpite. As it turned out Trump’s nominee for head of the VA, Ronny Jackson, was pushed out of the picture even before his confirmation hearing.
I had also remarked on how the placement of Jupiter on the Ascendant of that chart indicated a period of euphoria for the country. Kim Jong Un’s continued promises of cooperation and denuclearization have both President Trump and the nation feel pretty happy at the moment, even though it now appears that the North Korean dictator’s change of mood may have more to do with the collapse of his test facility than Trump’s bluster.
