Astro-Notes and an Eclipse for Judge Brett Kavanaugh

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Brett_Kavanaugh_Takes_Oath.jpg; June 1, 2006 Judge Kavanaugh sworn in by Justice Kennedy in the Rose Garden

All over the news cycle today is Trump's SCOTUS nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Someone at The Hill opines that Kavanaugh Will Not Uphold Roe. On The Federalist Society's short list, Trump could hardly go 'wrong' choosing any of the names to nominate since they were all pre-vetted for the purpose of overturning Roe v Wade and for other decisions intended to shove US society further toward the right, our civil and other rights notwithstanding. Plus, for Trump, Judge Kavanaugh has that extra quality--that apparently his vote will be Trump's trump card to get out of jail free if a case against Mr. Trump should ever come before the Supreme Court. Yet because Judge Kavanaugh may not be the one to take a seat on the SCOTUS bench, let's not spend much energy on him at this point. But we should note that, as reported by The Boston Globe, Born inside the Beltway, Brett Kavanaugh is part of the GOP legal elite so what could possibly go wrong for the rest of us non-elites with Brett on the exalted bench?

Brief Astro-Notes: Brett Kavanaugh

Born in Washington DC on February 12, 1965, the 53-year-old Brett Kavanaugh sports an Air-Water personality blend of Sun Aquarius-Moon Cancer with both luminaries remaining in their respective signs for the 24-hour period. Therefore, the humanitarianism of Aquarius and the subjective, clannish tribalism of Moon-ruled Cancer mix to form an idealistic man with a social conscience, a progressive thinker but one who is also emotionally old-fashioned. This makes sense if his aim is to regress American society back to the 1950s by playing the role of an 'activist judge' for he prefers the values and morals of the past. And his Cancer Moon may reveal emotional immaturity at times and is sympatico with Trump's natal Mercury in Cancer.

Actually, this Sun-Moon combination of energies suggests that underneath a friendly veneer Judge Kavanaugh can be naive and detached when scrutinizing others and tends to rationalize the irrational. The unconscious prejudices of this 'kind-hearted rebel' may be somewhat hidden by a warm demeanor while his eccentric ideas may or may not motivate the masses. Motivate them toward protest and rebellion, as his nomination has already done, most likely!

Now Charles and Suzi Harvey provide two Images for Integration for the Sun AQ-Moon Cancer blend: "A social worker bypasses bureaucracy to save a mother and child...A childhood memory becomes the basis of a new world order." Within my common-good way of thinking, the first image is difficult to fathom for an anti-government Trump Man but the second is easily believed. After all, this natal personality blend is shared by FDR (and by misogynist Norman Mailer and former Russian president Boris Yeltsin).

Consider the following excerpt from a previous post:

In Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.'s The Coming of the New Deal (1958) he quotes Machiavelli at the front of the book saying, "There is nothing...more dangerous to handle, than to initiate a new order of things."

At the end of the book, he quotes Fabian Socialist H.G. Wells describing FDR as, "The most effective transmitting instrument possible for the coming of the new world order. He is continuously revolutionary in the new way without ever provoking a stark revolutionary crisis."

2 South: The Prenatal Solar Eclipse (PE) of Judge Kavanaugh soon repeats

What an apt solar theme for being named to the SCOTUS bench! A solar eclipse in Kavanaugh's 2 South Saros Series perfects on January 6, 2019 @15Capricorn with a theme of: joining unusual groups and gaining a great deal from them (Brady's Predictive Astrology.) Prior to the birth of Baby Brett, the eclipse manifested on December 4, 1964 @12Sagittarius, the position of the US natal Ascendant in our late afternoon charts. And if born near midnight of his birth date, Brett Kavanaugh's natal Moon is @15Cancer and thus will be eclipsed on January 6, 2019.

A Few 2018 Transits to Kavanaugh's Natal Planets (Noon positions)

Not knowing his birth time clouds the astro-picture of Brett Kavanaugh yet we can make a few general observations using a noon natal horoscope set for February 12, 1965 Washington DC. Born during the Great Conjunction/s of Uranus and Pluto in mid-Virgo, Kavanaugh shares the generational influences of this conjunction which suggests possibilities for higher consciousness, inventiveness, and/or perhaps tendencies toward violence, revolution, and anarchy.

His natal Jupiter-Neptune opposition is about to be visited by Station Direct Jupiter, today @13Sco20, its Station degree and minute. As the expansive planet moves forward for Kavanaugh, transit Jupiter in Scorpio will again oppose his natal Jupiter (17Taurus) with the third and final opposition occurring on or about September 6, 2018. During this period opportunity knocks but 'no one is impressed' with his efforts which may be seen as overblown yet he's feeling an 'urge for greener pastures'. (Obviously, the 'no one' is not a member of the GOP, his sponsors.)

Also, transit Jupiter is in process of conjoining natal Neptune (19Sco59) with the third and final 'dreamy' conjunction on or about September 19, 2018--and the rose-colored glasses are in constant use. However, going on a spiritual retreat would be more beneficial for him than falling for any pie-in-the-sky schemes which may be presented, successful SCOTUS bid or not.

Now as you know, transit Mars turned retrograde on June 27, 2018 @9AQ13, a shift of direction which occurred upon Brett Kavanaugh's natal Venus. This suggests the forming of new alliances, renewed physical efforts, and enthusiastic social events. Legal matters are a major focus under this transit which will re-occur due to Rx Mars. Groups are somehow involved due to Mars and Venus being in Aquarius so this transit seems to look ahead toward the 2 South Solar Eclipse of January 6, 2019, as noted.

Not nearly as rosy is the fact that Kavanaugh's natal Moon in Cancer has or will be opposed by transit Saturn in Capricorn though it's difficult to time this important transit without an accurate birth hour. Using the Moon's noon position of 7Can47, transit Saturn has begun its three oppositions, the third and final of which will perfect on November 30, 2018. A depressive influence, this Saturnian year for him may merely involve the professional realms such as the law, the court, judgeship, and taking on major responsibilities, or it can suggests family, health, or other personal problems--or a blend of both (Career vs Home Life) and with timing issues involved. And of course if his Moon is in a late degree of Cancer, this restrictive, delaying Saturnian influence could continue into 2019. Yet this transit to Moon by solid, sober Saturn is one of only two transits listed here without an element of dreaminess so perhaps it will provide the Judge with real possibilities he can count on. For when working together Moon-Saturn can indicate ambition, strategy, and direction (Tyl).

As for opponents of the SCOTUS nomination of Judge Kavanaugh, today's position of opinionated Mercury in mid-Leo opposes the Judge's natal Mercury in mid-Aquarius which provides a rather clear image of what's in store as his pre-vetted nomination hearings get underway (assuming he makes it to Capitol Hill to play his role in the Capitol Hill Theater production, Let's Rubber Stamp Kavanaugh! If the GOP can get away with it!)

So any time transit Mercury opposes natal Mercury we expect such potentials as verbal disputes, differing opinions, and questions left unanswered. Sounds like a typical day on Capitol Hill, yes, but the result of this particular charade is pre-determined, no matter what Mercury thinks or says. For after all, Kavanaugh's natal North Node @21Gemini (NN = future direction; destiny) conjoins the 10th house Gemini trio of Donald Trump--his Uranus-NN-Sun--and all conjoin US natal Mars in Gemini--so therefore, all square US natal Neptune in Virgo which can only add to the confusion, deception, and fantasy elements of the Kavanaugh-Trump relationship.

And one more transit--Neptune today @16Pis22 Rx conjoins Kavanaugh's natal Chiron (16Pis49) which suggests to me that something involving his mentor (Chiron in Pisces) is not fully revealed or is being purposefully evaded. Judge Kavanaugh's mentor is said to be Justice Anthony Kennedy whose recent retirement has made Kavanaugh's seating on the SCOTUS bench possible at this time. Is masking Neptune, planet of scandals, fraud, falsehoods, and propaganda, attempting to veil secrets concerning the Kavanaugh-Kennedy-Trump trio and their past financial dealings?

A Saturnian Transit Note re: Donald Trump

As we've previously discussed, all through 2018 'legal eagle' Saturn in transit has been performing a series of squares and oppositions to the natal Mercury-Neptune square of Donald Trump, a fantasist who seldom if ever discriminates between fact and fiction. The next exact such transit by realistic Saturn is another square to his natal Neptune on November 11, 2018, then a final opposition to Trump's natal Mercury befalls on December 10, 2018. As goes POTUS, so goes America.

What Do Franklin Roosevelt and Lord Byron Have in Common?

Monday March 13, 2017: for those who consult Sun-Moon personality blends of politicians and poets, the discovery of who shares a natal Sun-Moon blend with another famous person can be revealing although we may not always understand what is being revealed since sometimes the pairs who share personality blends seem more different than similar. Yet often their personalities can be perfectly described by their Sun-Moon blends. For illustration, we might refer to the shared blends of Mr. Trump and......guess who?

Now if you wish, check out the (Uranus Rising = coping ability) natal chart of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the natal chart of George Gordon Byron and you'll see that they share the Sun Aquarius-Moon Cancer personality blend of the 'humanitarian idealist'.

(Speaking of idealism, it's curious that both men's lives involved them in war efforts on the 'white hat' side, wars that were fought ostensibly for the sake of liberation. But war must always begin under a pretext, mustn't it? Otherwise, very few people would sign up to do the fighting.)

Now this misty, ethereal Air-Water combination of energies tends to possess 'a wonderful sense of humor' due in part to its cooperation between mind (AQ) and emotion (Cancer). This poetic, romantic combo has great insight and sensitivity, communication talent, and is quite theatrical. 'Conscious reflection upon the mysteries of life' is typical of this blend. Very creative, Sun AQ-Moon Cancer maintains a detached attitude toward others and is quite subjective (Cancer) when using its reasoning power.

Unconscious prejudices are likely to influence actions along with an ability to rationalize the irrational; a talent for expressing universal insights via personal images is evident (for Roosevelt through his speeches and Fireside Chats, and for Lord Byron through his romantic poetry). There is, on some level, a 'devotion to truth' embedded within both personalities (though I must wonder what Mr. Roosevelt the 33rd-degree Freemason, and member of the banking Roosevelts, did with such a devotion while serving as president).

And on that presidential note, it's time to close by typing for you the two Images for Integration for the Sun AQ-Moon Cancer blend of FDR and Lord Byron:

"A social worker bypasses bureaucracy to save a mother and child...A childhood memory becomes the basis of a new world order." (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Charles and Suzi Harvey; my italics).

You may also wish to compare the Personality Blends of Franklin, Washington, Paine, and Jefferson, and here's a post about the day's Sun-Moon blend of Thomas Jefferson's First Inauguration in 1801. Watery!

Or why not compare the Sun-Moon blends operating during Inaugurations 1993 and 2017 of Bill Clinton and Donald Trump?

For those who don't think that 'FDR' and the label 'new world order' belong in the same sentence try this from a previous post:

In Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.'s The Coming of the New Deal (1958) he quotes Machiavelli at the front of the book saying, "There is nothing...more dangerous to handle, than to initiate a new order of things."

At the end of the book, he quotes Fabian Socialist H.G. Wells describing FDR as, "The most effective transmitting instrument possible for the coming of the new world order. He is continuously revolutionary in the new way without ever provoking a stark revolutionary crisis."

And yet in 2017 that sounds a lot like what we have now--a stark revolutionary crisis.

Wedding Day Astrology of Donald and Melania Trump

Update Feb 1, 2017: theories about the Trump marriage have circulated wildly since Inauguration Day 2017 and many of them are based on disturbing videos of the couple that show little--if any--affection between them. Have you noticed that Melania's face tells a sad story?

Original post written pre-inauguration begins here:

If you check the Wikipedia page of Melania Trump you'll find all I know about the current wife of 2016 candidate Donald Trump, the lady who may turn out to be America's First Lady on January 20, 2017.

Check out a noon birth chart for Melania here with her practical Sun Taurus-Moon Capricorn personality.

Born Melanija Knavs ('Melania Knauss') on April 26, 1970 in Sevnica Slovenia, Yugoslavia, Melania has been a high fashion model with a degree in architecture who now designs jewelry. These endeavors resonate well with her Sun in Taurus, a creative sign of architecture (building) and good patterning ability. Now let's peek at the Solar (male)and Lunar (female) description of their marriage which began under the auspices of January 22, 2005's Sun Aquarius-Moon Cancer unless the ceremony was held prior to 6:00 am (with a late Gemini Moon)!

Sun AQ-Moon Cancer (Saturn-Uranus-Moon) is a very creative Air-Water combination of energies that provides ethereal and romantic qualities to their union. The blend suggests that as a couple the Trumps tend to be companionable, friendly, and socially concerned. Although Donald Trump, the Aquarian here, is futuristic and eccentric, Melania's Cancer vibes add touches of traditional values such as home, domesticity, and family. (Yet Cancer is also a business-oriented sign ruled by the publicity seeking Moon!)

Naturally, the sign of Aquarius must have space and freedom to 'do its own thing' which hints at freedom-closeness issues in their relationship. 'Rationalizing irrational actions' is a potential at times and unconscious prejudices may interfere with their domestic bliss though we might say that Mr. Trump's campaign rhetoric, calculated toward certain voters as it may be, has made his prejudices well known to the public if not to himself. And some of the prejudices are against establishment politics as he demonstrates each day by his 'outsider' campaign style that 'tells it like it is' (or how his fact-distorting Mercury-Neptune square decides it is--his natal horoscope with notes may be viewed here).

The Sun AQ-Moon Cancer as natal combo is shared by some famous folk, two of which were politicians: Christian Dior, Clarke Gable, Humphrey Bogart, Lord Byron, John Hurt, Farah Fawcett, Norman Mailer, Babe Ruth, Boris Yeltsin, and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Now let's consider two informative Images for Integration of the conscious Aquarian Sun blended with the unconscious Cancerian Moon according to Sun Sign-Moon Sign, by Charles and Suzi Harvey--the first sounds like the Trump style of politicking and the second leads to a result that is precisely what I dread:

"A social worker bypasses bureaucracy to save a mother and child...A childhood memory becomes the basis of a new world order."

Under Siege: an Astro-Peek at Attorney General Eric Holder

Under the Sun, Over the Moon: Eric Holder's Personality

by Jude Cowell

If you're curious, Attorney General Eric Holder's Wiki page tells much of his personal and professional history such as his appointment to the DC Superior Court by Ronald Reagan in 1988, his work during the Clinton administration, and his brief service under George W. Bush.

Of course nowadays, his term as Attorney General under the Obama administration's Department of Justice is in the news for its many scandals (if that they all be) concerning the Bush-instituted Fast and Furious gun-running program, the current AP-James Rosen tracking, and IRS 'Targetgate'. The GOP will do anything and level any charge to undermine the character and administration of President Obama which makes their investigations of Eric Holder and others suspiciously political in nature.

Yes, Atty Gen. Holder has been within the sights of the Republican Party for years and his opposition to the Bush-Cheney 'Patriot Act' is only one example of the flea under the GOP saddle when it comes to Eric Holder, the first man of color to serve as US Attorney General.

An Astro-Peek begins...

Born on January 21, 1951 in the Bronx, NY during a Neptune Station Retrograde (19Lib32), Eric Holder's natal Sun position (00AQ51 at noon since his birth hour is unknown to me) conjoins US Inaugural Sun every time a new president is sworn into office. ('1AQ" = "An Old Adobe Mission" which reminds me in part of the Cross of Lorraine but that's another story and way beyond the meager scope of today's post.)

Fortunately for my purposes, the Moon remained in Cancer for the duration of Jan 21, 1951 so we may be confident of his Sun AQ-Moon Cancer personality blend, an ethereal, misty Air-Water combination of 'divine discontent'.

If you visit his Wiki page linked above and scroll to 'Awards', you'll find that he once received a "Visionary" award and this Sun-Moon combo supports the compliment with its 'far-reaching imagination' tone. A progressive thinker yet emotionally old-fashioned, Atty Gen. Holder has a well-developed and compassionate social conscience underpinned by a Piscean Jupiter (Jupiter's sign tells how one relates to others.) Natal Saturn is Rx yet exalted in Libra, sign of the Scales of Justice (DoJ!), and idealism with democratic leanings is evident.

His Aquarian side can be naive as he studies others with a detached air, and his Cancerian Moon is very home and 'homeland' oriented to the point of clannishness. This Sun-Moon blend gives him the ability to rationalize any irrational actions he might take and a deep devotion to the truth can hardly help but be compromised while working in the environs of the US government and cynical, jaded Washington DC.

All in all, Atty Gen. Holder's personality is one of friendliness and warmth yet with a 'keep the door open' sort of escapist attitude that suits his Justice Department position--and working with devious politicians--quite well.

His Sun AQ-Moon Cancer blend of lofty emotions and ideals is shared natally by FDR and by Lord Byron who asserted that, "The best of prophets of the future is the past."

Now for the 'Images for Integration' for Sun AQ-Moon Cancer, the second of which always curdles my fondue into a hot mess:

"A social worker bypasses bureaucracy to save a mother and child...A childhood memory becomes the basis of a new world order." (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Charles & Suzi Harvery.)

Born during a Saturn-Uranus square (4A12), Holder is well suited for working in large institutions though fear of unfamiliar situations may hinder progress somewhat. The only major applying aspect to natal Sun is a helpful trine from law-abiding Saturn which provides him with the ability to know how to take advantage of opportunities that come along. Law, politics, market speculation--these and other management positions come naturally with a Sun-Saturn trine individual and his advanced education has made these fields of endeavor possible. He is a sustaining force within relationships and his Venus-Neptune trine adds imagination and a generosity in his judgments of others.

For quirkiness, we may look to a separating opposition between Mercury (6Cap31, where powerful manipulator Pluto has visited of late giving conditions intensity and a deepening awareness of other people's motives--and of course, Mercury-Pluto relates to surveillance, spying, investigation, research, eccentric opinions, and propaganda of a political kind) and The Witness and Rebel, Uranus (6Can29 Rx.) A Mercury-Uranus opposition gives him a 'genius for incurring the wrath of others' (Pelletier), a tendency to refuse to compromise, and bluntness in speech. This opposition indicates that some may consider Holder to be strange, unreliable, arrogant, and/or conceited about his mental abilities. (Republican interrogator Darrel Issa comes to mind.)

Before closing, let's also consider two midpoint pictures which remain in force no matter the birth hour used; any, all, or none may apply, and I emphasize the first one because it's a doozy involving conservative Saturn, progressive Uranus, and powerful wealth-hoarder Pluto, the Spy:

1. Saturn-Uranus = Pluto: upheaval to protect assets; fear of loss; rebellion (Tyl): brutality or violence; harm through major force; desire to overcome difficult situations via extraordinary efforts (Ebertin); concealing changes to activities; termination of extreme practices which hinder progress (ending the Fast and Furious program? jc); drastic changes in a previously liberal atmosphere; rigid inflexibility replaces adaptation (Munkasey.)

2. Mars-NN = Jupiter: enthusiasm (Tyl); working well with others; sociability; success through teamwork (Ebertin); ability to read politics at meetings or among friends and to use this to advance your interests and causes; the desire to study law (Munkasey).

Well, there's my brief, incomplete astro-peek at Attorney General Eric Holder. I won't add any links to the 'scandalous' news stories he's featured in because you know which rocks they're under and because you can toss a reluctant astrologer in any direction these days and easily find such scoops for yourself!
