So far, with no accurate birth time located for the current AG-nominee, the Wikipedia page of Matt Gaetz must suffice, so a look at his natal chart is somewhat limited. However, we can consider the Solar Eclipse Cycle into which Baby Matthew (Louis Gaetz II) was born May 7, 1982 in Hollywood, Florida, with a Taurus Sun, and Moon remaining in Scorpio for the entire 24-hour day of birth. In fact, since a Full Moon perfected that day at 8:44:40 pm edt, that's how the Matt Gaetz horoscope shown below is timed:
Then as you see above, an abundance of my study notes are squooshed upon the chart (mea culpa) including Mr. Gaetz's Prenatal Eclipse ('PE') with its theme penned on for all to see (1 South).
Natal Mercury in Gemini (thinking; young people; duplicity; multiplicity) is out-of-bounds ('OOBs') of the earthly plane suggesting unusual thoughts about young people, secret transactions (but Venmo not so secret!), plus, you may wish to notice his Ceres in Scorpio (persistence toward goals despite setbacks), and the Hard Rectangle pattern between Sun-Moon-Venus-Mars which relates to his sensual nature and his relationship "issues" with the ladies.
Sun Opposes Moon
It could be that Mom (Scorpio) and Dad (Taurus) had relationship and/or betrayal issues around the time of Matt's birth, plus, a few intense quarrels; meanwhile, their son inherited large measures of stubbornness, dramatic expressions, confidence, a ruthless desire for power, a strong appetite, materialism, and a territorial nature from one or both parents.
A Pragmatic Earth-Water Personality
Let's think about closing this reluctantly written post with the Harveys' Images for Integration describing the passionate Sun Taurus-Moon Scorpio blend of conscious and unconscious energies of Matt Gaetz who resigned his seat in Congress just as the Ethics Committee was about to come knocking upon his door; Q: has the Ethics report been publicly released or leaked yet?
"The mating season...Persephone and Pluto...The Phantom of the Opera." This sounds about right to me, if not to you - and suggests scandals and degraded behavior that should be kept hidden for best results. Yet as you may have heard, Gaetz is known to have "overshared" to his congressional colleagues regarding his "exploits," and his natal Persephone (not listed on the chart) is @14AQ44 and relates to abduction and rape, as you know. Natal Pluto conjunct Arcturus (passion for power) stands out as the apex planet of his Jupiter-Saturn midpoint; see upper right corner for details. His is a strong appetite, as noted.
