Back in 1996, while the Summer Olympics were being held in Atlanta, Georgia, a pipe bomb was placed under a bench in that city's newly constructed Centennial Olympic Park. The bomb was set to go off in the middle of a rock concert when it would likely have killed hundreds of people. Instead, an alert security guard named Richard Jewell spotted the bag that contained the bomb and notified the police. He then worked feverishly, along with other officers, to clear the area.
At 1:20 AM the bomb exploded. Even though one person was killed and several others injured, Jewell’s alertness was credited with staving off what would have been a major terrorist event. At first he was celebrated as a hero. But some people in the F.B.I. had other ideas. They decided that Jewell fit the psychological profile of the bomber. These suspicions were leaked to the press and Jewell immediately went from presumed hero to presumed guilty.
In the “Following the Moon” article I put up Saturday, I predicted that this New Moon was likely to give us a new Hollywood scandal. (Click here to see that article.) Instead, it seems that what we’re seeing is the ending of an old Hollywood scandal, with the conviction of Harvey Weinstein. Hopefully, that conviction has brought some degree of closure to the many women who were abused by Weinstein over the years. That is the main concern. However, it might also be interesting to see what’s going on in his horoscope.
I wrote about Harvey Weinstein a couple of years ago with the scandal first broke. In that article I discussed the square between Mars in Weinstein’s chart and Pluto. (Click on Harvey Weinstein to see the article and a chart done for noon on his date of birth.) This is an aspect that often turns up in the charts of people who commit extreme acts designed to establish or prove their power over another individual. Of course, this is not always the case, but it is a definite and unhappy trend with this aspect.
I said that the Full Moon chart for Feb. 9 (click here to see the article and the chart) predicted a relatively quiet two weeks and I think that we've had that. There some fireworks at the Democratic debates but that’s to be expected. (Remember how nasty the Republican debates got back in 2016.) Fortunately, the massive display of violence that I worried about did not happen. Instead we had a tiff between Attorney General Bill Barr and President Trump.
That was actually foretold in the Full Moon chart. I just missed it. I took the placement of the Moon in the Ninth House,trine Mars as an indication of violence involving American interests abroad. However, the Ninth House also rules the law, courts and attorneys. The Mars aspect described conflict but the aspect was a trine so the conflict resulted in no changes. In fact, some people think that the apparent disagreement between Barr and Trump was simply a bit of theater to make Barr appear independent.
What are we to think of William Barr? One the one hand, he has openly used his office as Attorney General to do the bidding of President Donald Trump. On the other, he bemoans the way Trump tweets out his opinions about what Barr and the Dept. of Justice should be doing. Barr has recently gone so far as to say that the President’s behavior makes it hard for him to do his job.
Of course, Barr is a Gemini by Sun sign (just like his boss) and it’s not unusual for Geminis to vacillate between two or more points of view. However, the real reason for Barr’s sudden display of moral fortitude might have more to do with the fact that he is a Gemini Sun with the Moon in Leo. (Click on William Barr to see a horoscope for him done for noon on his date of birth.)
In my book, “Father Sun, Mother Moon: Astrology’s Dynamic Duo” I say of this combination of the Sun and Moon: “The opinions of your peers are important to you. You need praise and applause.” Though Attorney General Barr has made a show of not caring about what people, or at least Democrats in Congress, think about what he’s doing, it appears that he is sensitive to the way he has been characterized as Trump’s lap dog at the D.O.J. His recent complaints and the rumor that he has offered to resign are his way of countering that criticism, even while his behavior provide further proof that it is true.
