Cory Booker's Senate speech and the Moral Moment

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good, Daughter of the American Revolution

By now the entire world has heard of Senator Cory Booker's marathon speech against the Tr*mp "presidency" and the subversive actions led by the unelected rich guy, saboteur Elon M*sk, and his teenaged "tech bros" - symbolized by wealthy Pluto in the technological sign of Aquarius - destructuring and dismantling the administrative state as they are.

Cory Booker born with a reliable, earthy Sun Taurus-Moon Virgo blend

Senator Booker rose to speak on the Senate floor on Monday March 31, 2025 at 7:00 pm edt and completed his remarks on Tuesday April 1, 2025 at 8:04 pm edt. At 7:19 pm, he had passed Strom Thurmond's previous record but continued speaking.

Here is a bi-wheel image of his speech's beginning and ending with my astro-notes squooshed on; I'll simply add here that natally, baby Cory was born with a Saturn-Uranus inconjunct which in maturity then identifies the Senator as "The Voice of Reason":

Then when it comes to a "moral moment" we can look to The Great Benefic Jupiter for moral and ethical inspiration. However, this Jupiter @15Gem58 in the 9th house of Philosophy is unaspected which provides an opportunity to broadcast without distraction or interference. This he did.

Significant is Jupiter's Sabian Symbol for "16 Gemini": "A (Woman) Agitator Makes An Impassioned Plea to a Crowd": "Keyword = INDIGNATION."

Well, this helps sum up the proceedings, in my opinion, due to the lack of ethics and morals shown by the criminal operatives currently in control. And no, the feminine gender mentioned doesn't matter to the basic meaning of the word picture describing Jupiter's position. We might even say that Democratic ideals are protective as a mother's protection and care would be - and they were expressed by Senator Booker in his plea that the needs and lives of the American people, and for American democracy itself, continue without the dire threats and losses that Tr*mp and M*sk now forcefully impose - the "hardship" that wealthy El*n is determined to cause as they collapse US society and destroy the US government.

These saboteurs are commanded to do so by higher powers, in fact.

Yet as he spoke, Senator Booker implored all of us to join the fight against the Tr*mp-M*sk corruption, and he pointed out that the moral moment has arrived. And helpfully for our cause, Jupiter rises with royal star Aldebaran with its beneficial imperative: "success through integrity" which is exactly what reasonable people need. But Democrats really must stop bringing slingshots to this fascist gun fight.

Senator Cory Booker: Sun-Saturn and Jupiter-Uranus

Jan 19, 2018: Well, apparently Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) has been open about putting his birth data 'out there' and his natal horoscope may be viewed at astro.com. Born Cory Anthony Booker on April 27, 1969 1:10 pm est Washington DC (RR: A), here are a few prominent career-supporting chart factors for Senator Cory Booker:

Ascendant 1AQ20 (which conjoins our national POTUS Sun 00AQ+); MC 22Sco55 (Scorpio = powerful career involving control and finances); Sun 6Tau48, Moon 4Vir17, Mercury 25Taurus (which conjoins the natal MC of Donald Trump). Mr. Booker apparently had a Mercury Return on or about the day of Donald Jr's sneaky Russian lawyer meeting in June 2016 which I remember because transit Mercury that day (planet of meetings and negotiations) was @24Taurus+ and sitting atop Trump Sr's natal Midheaven--so of course Donald Trump knew about the meeting--Don Jr was trying to impress Dad!

Given Senator Booker's double-Earth Sun and Moon we can expect him to be "well grounded in economic and physical reality" and his darkest fears as an Earth-Earth personality are "chaos and loss of control." A gracious amount of common sense is apparent with Sun Taurus-Moon Virgo folk though there may be an over-dependence on the rational side of life. A need and drive for material security may be noticeable as well.

Here is a video link to Senator Booker speaking politics this very morning on CNN (6 mins).

Having a Sun-Saturn conjunction supports Booker's role in the US Politics via the US natal Sun-Saturn square, so serious application of one's intellect, determination, and a strong work ethic aids in his political work. His Jupiter-Uranus conjunction assures good fortune and opportunities for travel, adventure, and discovery with a potential for scientific interests. Both his conjunctions are out-of-sign or dissociate which gives wider perspectives to those who are capable of learning from broad experience and can put their higher education to profitable use.

And here's helpful planetary factor toward political work--if we wish to add Booker's Pluto Rx in Virgo to the Jupiter-Uranus pair we may stretch toward a midpoint picture between the planetary trio which Cory Booker was born under - Uranus-Pluto = Jupiter: "achieving immense success" (Ebertin).

Now there's a fascinating variety of people who share Sun Taurus-Moon Virgo: Oliver Cromwell, Emperor Hirohito, Daniel Day Lewis, Jack Nicholson, Shirley Maclaine, Sir Lawrence Olivier, Mort Sahl, Candice Bergen, and Pete Townsend of The Who. Let's close with a famous Cromwell quote:

"The State, in choosing men to serve it, takes no notice of their opinions. If they be willing faithfully to serve it, that satisfies."
