I was wrong about one thing in my assessment of the last New Moon chart. I thought the “live wire” aspect would manifest in financial affairs, but instead we got unsubstantiated claims that Obama put a spy inside Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. This is similar to Trump’s claim last year that Obama had tapped his phones. It’s difficult to know how much of these allegations are an attempt to undermine the Mueller investigation and how much are just Donald Trump being paranoid, but it doesn’t seem that they will go far.
We might also link the “live wire” aspect (Mars square Uranus) to the school shooting in Texas. I was remiss in not making this connection. This tragedy was followed by another incident in Indiana. It seems that bringing gun to school is becoming an obligatory part of the age-old “school’s out for summer” celebration.
I was recently reading a biography by Barbara Ehrlich White of the famous Impressionist painter, Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Most biographies of famous artists focus on their work and shy away from discussions of their personal lives, but Ms. White takes a different approach. Among other things she discusses the two illegitimate children Renoir fathered with his mistress, Lise Trebot.
The first was a boy born in born at 10:30 AM on Sept. 15, 1868. He was named Pierre and, since Renoir did not acknowledge parentage, his was given the last name of his mother. (Click here to see the chart.) What is striking about this horoscope is that Saturn is in the First House and it forms a unique aspect pattern with Uranus and Neptune.
Uranus and Neptune at the time of his birth were in an almost exact square and they both formed an exact 135 degree aspect (called a sesquidquadrate) to Saturn. This is an obscure aspect, but since it places a lot of stress on Saturn in the First House, the house ruling the physical body, it does not bode well. Pierre was sent to a foundling home. Nothing is known about him after that. About half of the children separated from their mother and sent to such homes died in infancy.
The last time I wrote about the horoscope of special prosecutor Robert Mueller was last January. Since then Mueller has run a tight ship. No one knows for sure what Mueller is doing or in what direction his investigation is heading. What we know astrologically (and what I pointed out in January) is that Robert Mueller is currently under a highly significant Saturn Cycle aspect, the kind of aspect the makes a person’s reputation or breaks it.
The specific aspect I’m talking about is the opposition of transiting Saturn its natal place. (Click on Robert Mueller to see a horoscope done for noon on his date of birth.) The first hit of this aspect occurred in February, shortly after the payment to Stormy Daniels by Michael Cohen became news. We don’t know when Mueller started looking into this tawdry affair, but it was information that he turned over to prosecutors in New York that led to the raid on Cohen’s office and apartment.
The last Full Moon (on April 28) brought us a period of relative quiet. Except for Trump’s decision to pull the US out of the Iran deal, which pretty much everyone saw coming, and a slow-moving natural disaster in Hawaii, the past two weeks have been relatively free of national scandals and embarrassments. There have been several days in which the list of top news stories on the major outlets did not include a Trump tweet or a pending indictment.
In the April 29 Full Moon chart (click here to see my article and the chart) Jupiter was close to the Ascendant when the chart was done for Washington D.C., so the feeling of euphoria that settled over the nation last month after Kim Jong Un announced that he was essentially giving up threatening the world with nukes continued. I had predicted the conjunction of Mars to Pluto signaled that Trump would scuttle the Iran deal. I now think that the aspect is also connected to the violent protests that have erupted in Israel because of the relocation of the US embassy to Jerusalem.
