Not again! Are we really ready for another congressional hearing with Brett Kavanaugh tearfully telling us how much he likes beer? Brace yourself, because that has become a possibility. More information has emerged about Kavanaugh’s rowdy past and the utter failure of the FBI to investigate charges of sexual impropriety made against him last year. Democrats in congress (most of them presidential hopefuls) are already calling for his impeachment.
First of all (with all do modesty) I must point out that this falls perfectly in line with what I wrote in my analysis of the Sept. 14 Full Moon chart. I wrote “some sort of deception will be uncovered”. In that chart we had Neptune in the Tenth House conjunct the Moon and opposed to the Sun and Mars. This is the perfect aspect for actions related to people in positions of power that were based on deception or incomplete information. Democrats are claiming that Kavanaugh’s confirmation was exactly that.
I had expected that the remarkably favorable horoscope we had for the Aug. 30 New Moon would play out in the political arena, (click here to see the chart and article) but instead we saw it work in the form of weather. At the time I wrote that piece Hurricane Dorian was set to hit the east coast of Florida as a category 4 hurricane. Instead it stalled over the Bahama’s and turned northward. Dorian brought severe flooding and a loss power to the Carolinas but compared to the tremendous damage it caused in the Bahamas, the US got a lucky break.
In the Aug. 30 chart the Sun and Moon were conjunct the Ascendant and trine Uranus. I considered this a “lucky” configuration and that luck spared us incredible devastation and possible loss of life. There was some movement on the political front. The House Judiciary Committee’s decision to continue investigations leading toward impeachment was important, but hardly the kind of head-turning change that I expected. The fact that President Trump blatantly broke two laws during the past two weeks (one dealing with emoluments and another against falsifying an official weather forecast) makes it seem as if he is daring the House to move forward.
During this lunation we also had the dismissal of John Bolton as Trump’s National Security Advisor. It is notable that Uranus in the Aug. 30 New Moon chart is in the 9th House of foreign affairs. The removable of Bolton’s hawkish input might also also be seen as a lucky break for the United States but, until we know who will replace him, we can't say for sure.
In my last entry I discussed the transiting aspects impacting the horoscopes of Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, Beto O’Rourke and Amy Klobuchar on the night of the next Democratic debate. (Click here to see that article.) Now I’m going to look at the horoscope for the five Democratic candidates for whom we have a time of birth and a complete horoscope. Click on the candidates name to see his or her horoscope.
Joe Biden – In part one of this series I pointed out that Mars, Neptune and Jupiter will be forming a T-sqaure at the time of the debate. Biden is going to be feeling some of that T-square energy. Mars and Neptune are near (within a couple of degrees) his M.C., I.C angle and Jupiter is in the middle of his First House. I think that, over the long haul, the Neptune side of this T-square is going to be an impediment for Biden, but Thursday night the Jupiter side will predominate and that should help him. Also, at the time of the debate, the Sun will be conjunct Biden’s Midheaven. As the front-runner, Biden is going to definitely be the star of the show but, since the Sun is trine Pluto at that time, he’s going to have to be a star on the defensive end of the court.
The next Democratic debate is scheduled of Sept 12. It should be a lively affair, since on that date we will have Mars, Jupiter and Neptune forming a T-square with the Full Moon only a little over 24 hours away. So, I’ve decided to get an early start on astrologically handicapping the debate. I’m going to start with the five contenders for whom we do not have a time of birth. For all of these candidates I will be using a chart done for noon on their date of birth.
Bernie Sanders – Mars will be conjunct Sanders’ Sun on Sept. 12, with Neptune opposite and Jupiter square. Given that he is an excitable lad even with the sky is relatively quiet, Bernie should be particularly energized for this debate. He’s going to have to defend his position at the far left extreme of this field of candidates. The aggressiveness of Mars should help him do this, but Neptune’s influence may make it difficult for him to do so with clarity and focus. Sanders is going to have to beware of coming across as too extreme, too bombastic and too angry in this debate.
