Pam Bondi November 17, 1965

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

From her Wikipedia page we see that Pam Bondi, Mr. T's choice for US Attorney General, entered the earthly flux on November 17, 1965 in Tampa, Florida under the influences of Sun Scorpio-Moon Virgo, a blend of narrowed outlook and a strong sense of duty (The Harveys). Actually, Bondi and Republican Darrell Issa are likely to share political interests and attitudes since Mr. Issa was born with the very same personality blend.

So, here's a noon natal horoscope for Pam Bondi in case it becomes useful to you at some point:

Born during the mid-1960s, Pam Bondi can't help it - she's one of those anarchy-adjacent individuals and not adverse to violent destruction, thanks to her Uranus-Pluto Conjunction. Plus, a Sun-Neptune Conjunction (5-degree orb) identifies her as possibly scandal-prone and self-deluding. What more could the Project 2025 admistration want to figurehead America's tattered legal system? Impressionability is another feature of the Sun-Neptune pairing which spotlights a fantasy component as well.

Then we see Bondi's retrograde Jupiter at a critical 29th degree of Mercury-ruled Gemini, a sign often known for its propensity toward duplicity (ex: the $25,000 campaign donation via a check written by Mr. T - but she defended herself on this matter concerning her office's failure to investigate complaints about Tr*mp "University" and the fraud therein).

Of course, Gemini is also the sign of communications, rhetoric, commerce, trade, meetings, multiplicity, and/or tricksterism. Bondi shares a natal Gemini North Node with Mr. T, potentially denoting many contacts but also inviting superficial contacts of short duration (R. Ebertin). Then with her Capricorn Mars opposing Jupiter, we might expect religious and/or ideological conflicts to surface in public.

Such conflicts could surface this very week because confirmation hearings for Cabinet nominees begin tomorrow. Here's the schedule of hearings so far.

In closing, there's another interesting factoid about Pam Bondi's natal Jupiter - that her next Jupiter Return (aka, 12-year reward cycle) arrives on or about June 9, 2025 which may likely aid her with her bid to join Mr. T's administration as US Attorney General.

But one more thing: a Jupiter Return may provide a similar cosmic boost for health nut RFK Jr whose current Jupiter Return period arrived in August 2024, the first of a three-fer (which didn't help him with his "prez bid") yet there's Jupiterian energy ongoing for him since his third of three returns perfects on April 9, 2025.

Astro-Notes: An Old Nazi's Personality Blend

by Jude Cowell

Now this may not be news to you, dear reader, but Klaus Barbie, head of Germany's Gestapo (secret police) from 1942 to 1944, died of cancer on September 25, 1991 in Lyon, France, the place where he'd earned his title during WWII as The Butcher of Lyon. After the war, the US made him an intelligence officer and used Barbie for gathering whatever it was he gathered. For after all, what better opportunity could a world class murderer expect after a war ends than a new life perpetrating whatever he perpetrates best?

Now Nikolaus Barbie's reputation for torture and brutality preceded him and were enough of a work reference for US intelligence big wigs to give "Klaus" a free pass and a new life in Bolivia so that Washington could learn his methods. Was FBI Director J. Edgar in on the scheme, one imagines, or did other agencies benefit?

Well, somehow Herr Barbie's secret-keeping skills and work ethic of torture and barbarism may not have been the only reasons he was spirited away from European areas of devastation, willfully destroyed by villains such as Klaus Barbie. Apparently, the US government prized his anti-communists efforts enough to aid his escape which avoided an arrest warrant. Here he is now:

Now agent Barbie was born October 25, 1913 7:00 am MET in Godesburg, Germany (RR: AA), so if you wish, grab a peek at the natal horoscope and planets of Klaus Barbie where you'll see his Water-Earth Sun Scorpio-Moon Virgo personality blend which suggests a strong mind, a sense of duty, and a generous helping of arrogance that will not be bullied. Notable leanings include narrow-mindedness and an assumption that if he can think them up, he's entitled to rewrite the rules to suit himself.

Then speaking of spycraft, back in the day I saw guitarist-singer Johnny Rivers play a college concert. Here he is with his 1966 hit, Secret Agent Man which was also a TV show theme starring British actor Patrick McGoohan (Sun Pisces-Moon AQ or Pisces; 1928-2009).
