A fun spin on serious cosmic stuff! Wendell C. Perry has 40 years experience studying astrology and how it impacts personalities & relationships.

President Trump’s choice to fill Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s seat on the Supreme Court has been looming on the horizon for a while. Now it has become a reality. In terms of her philosophy, Amy Coney Barrett comes out of the same mold as Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch. She believes that the constitution should read as it was written, which seems to be a laudable goal until you think about the differences between America of today and America in the 18th Century.
Barrett’s legal philosophy will be debated in the Senate. Here, we are concerned with her horoscope. That presents us with an immediate problem. We don’t have a time of birth for Judge Barrett. (Click on Amy Coney Barrett to see a chart done for noon on her date of birth.) Still, there are a few interesting things to point out.
What follows is an excerpt from my newest book: “Behind the Horoscope: How the Placement of the Sun and Moon Tell a Story About You.” The premise of the book is that, just as the sign occupied the Sun is your sign, the house occupied by the Sun is your house. It represents the area of life in which you will shine and the mission you have been put on this earth to complete. This exerpt was taken from the chapter on the Sun in the Seventh House which has to do with relationships and marriage. If you are new to astrology, you can assume that the Sun is in the Seventh House in your horoscope if you were born within a two hours period before sunset.
Your Mission
As we have seen, having the Sun in the Seventh House does not guarantee a happy marriage. In fact, it is not even a guarantee of a marriage. Nor does this placement guarantee that you will find love, at least not in the romantic sense. What the Sun in the Seventh House guarantees is that a singular relationship of some sort, or perhaps just the search for a singular relationship, will be a central feature in your life.
In the articles in which I “handicapped” this year’s presidential race (click on Donald Trump and/or Joe Biden to see the two articles) I intentionally left out one important transit. I did this because the aspect in question covers a limited period of time and because I felt it required an article of its own.
The transit I'm talking about will impact the charts of both candidates during the next two weeks or so. This is when Mars, which is currently moving retrograde in Aires, will square transiting Saturn is Capricorn. This is an aspect that is likely to cause us all a bit of grief. It indicates increased tension between what you've got to do (Saturn) and the time, energy or means with which you have to do it (Mars). The result can be conflict, particularly with figures of authority, or a sense that you best efforts are ineffectual or being blocked.
In my “Following the Moon” entry for the New Moon on Sept. 17 I said that this next two week period was going to be particularly significant for the United States. (Click on New Moon to see the article.) The death of Justice Ginsburg certainly validates the prediction. It is likely that President Trump and Mitch McConnell will rush to replace Ginsberg with a conservative justice, if not before the election, at least before January, and this will set off a titanic power struggle.
You may remember that McConnell scuttled President Obama’s shot at picking a Supreme Court Justice back in 2016, saying that is was unfair for a president choose a justice during an election year. If you think that that rule is going to apply in this case, you don’t understand how the mind of a Pisces functions. Pisces people (and McConnell is a Sun sign Pisces) don’t work out of set principles. They take the opportunities offered to them in the moment. McConnell is not going to let the opportunity to pack the bench with conservatives pass him by.
