News that Bill O’Reilly is being pushed out of Fox News after an investigation into the numerous charges of sexual harassment that have been lodged against him has me wishing we had a time of birth for him. It would be interesting to compare his complete horoscope to that of Bill Clinton. Both are men share the triat of being pretty smart (regardless of what one might think of their political opinions) above the waste, and down-right stupid below.
But it seems that we have to forge ahead with a chart done for noon of O’Reilly’s birthday. (Click on Bill O’Reilly to see the partial horoscope.) We don’t have to look hard for egotism in this chart. The Sun (ego) is trine expansive Jupiter. The aspect is wide (almost 5 degrees) but reinforced by a nearly exact semi-sextile to Pluto. O’Reilly is a man who understands power and how to use it.
Back in December I wrote an article linking the rise of so-called “fake news” to the entry of Neptune into its own sign of Pisces. (Click here to see the article.) In that article I lamented that fact that, out of all the positive, inspirational attributes of Neptune and Pisces, the one we seem to be getting is the Neptunian tendency to obscure facts and fog reality.
Now it seems that, as often happens with Neptune, the strange has taken even stranger turn. Alex Jones, a conservative commentator noted for his far-out conspiracy theories is saying that he’s been actually lying about lying. Jones is currently battling his wife in court over custody of their children. The wife contends that Jones’ inflammatory rhetoric and eccentric views are a bad influence. Jones’ lawyer has countered this by saying that Jones is just a “playing a character” and the he doesn’t really believe what he’s saying.
It is interesting that since Uranus as moved away from its trine to President Trump’s Moon and its sextile to his Moon, the “Great Disrupter” has suddenly started acting like a typical Republican president. He’s suddenly changed his mind about N.A.T.O. and Chinese monetary manipulations and he apparently sees every international crisis as an excuse to bomb somebody.
Never mind that Trump’s new “big stick” diplomacy is a direct contradiction to his “American First” campaign promise. If the people who voted for him had looked up Gemini in any Sun sign book they would have known that Geminis never feel bound by what they’ve said in the past. Changing their minds is the Gemini prerogative. So Trump’s sudden shift away from his isolationist campaign rhetoric should come as no surprise.
Last week Donald Trump met with the Chinese leader, Xi Jinping. Nothing seems to have come out of this meeting except the typical platitudes and generalities, but I couldn’t help noticing that the two men had something astrological in common. Both are Geminis. In fact, their birthdays are one day apart (in different years). That means that Trump’s natal Sun is conjunct Xi’s Sun.
What this connection indicates is that these two men have a high level of compatibility. They look at the world in the same way. Of course, that level of compatibility is complicated by the fact that the countries they lead are competing with one another in many areas. When two Geminis get together in a competitive situation each is going to be trying to outsmart the other. To see who will outsmart who, we have to look more closely at the horoscopes.
