Elon Musk's Personality Blend

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

My suspicion is that by now, any astrologer with an interest in US Politics has likely glanced at the B-rated natal horoscope of Elon Musk, and although I've tried to avoid it, now I have as well. After all, richest-man-in-the-world Mr. Musk could very well be the figure symbolized by wealthy Pluto in the Inauguration 2025 Horoscope's 10th house of Career and Leadership (in co-rulership?) with the Inaugural Sun (POTUS).

As we see by his natal horoscope shown below, Baby Musk was born June 28, 1971 at 7:30 am EET in Pretoria, South Africa with Sun @5Can53 (conjunct US 1776 Jupiter) and Moon @8Vir15. His Mercury @14Cancer rises at Ascendant with Sirius (The Scorcher) and Canopus, the star of old age. His is a Water-Earth blend detailed below the chart with Moon (Cancer)/Mercury (Virgo) influences.

Horoscope: Elon Reeve Musk with Astro-Notes that include his Prenatal Eclipse Series ("PE" = 9 New North) which repeats on March 29, 2025 @9Aries; themes are physical events, great physical effort, and potentials for accidents or violence (B. Brady):

Elon Reeve Musk Personality Blend:

Born with a sensitive, pragmatic Water-Earth Sun Cancer-Moon Virgo combination of conscious-unconscious energies, Mr. Musk is analytical, imaginative, shrewd in business, and fussy with a discriminating intellect. A perceptive introvert, he can be difficult to live with due to emotional moodiness, yet tends to be protective of family members. Efficiency and creativity combine in this blend but with suggestions of narrow-mindedness, self-righteousness, and a leaning toward nagging and worry. Additionally, a deep fear of ridicule is present and, as we know, this trait is shared by Mr. Trump. (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Charles and Suzi Harvey #ad).

Interestingly, Musk's Sun Cancer-Moon Virgo blend itself is shared natally with feminist activist Emmeline Pankhurst (whose Ascendant conjuncts Elon Musk's natal Mars @20Aquarius!) so let's close this post with a quote from Mrs. Pankhurst, words which tragically apply once again as they did in the olden days of the 19th century:

"It was becoming clear to my mind that men regarded women as a servant class in the community, and that women were going to remain in the servant class until they raised themselves out of it."

And so ladies, we fight the battle again.

A Closely Related Post: Astrology of South Africa displaying South Africa's Constitution Horoscope (as timed by Dr. Liz Greene), plus, its 14 North Eclipse Horoscope, the Series into which the country's Constitution came to be. You'll notice that the natal Sun of Elon Musk rises in the Constitution's chart, and that its Pluto conjuncts Musk's natal Jupiter Rx in late Scorpio. You'll also notice that for the US, a 14 North Eclipse occurred on November 25, 2011 as the "Sequestration Eclipse" of austerity measures - as finagled by the so-called "Super Congress."

Maga Clown Car Filling Up Fast! Pete Hegseth Hitches a Ride

Gnatzie Take-Over of America Rolls Forward with Unqualified Nominations

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

The natal horoscope of nominee for next US Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, is rated AA for accuracy. Baby Pete was born June 6, 1980 at 8:28 pm CDT in Minneapolis, Minnesota with expansive Sagittarius rising (11:47), Sun @15Gem27, and Moon @28Pis52. Of note is his Pisces Moon floating beneath the magic wand of transit Neptune. No, this is not the most reliable transit under which to be offered a position or to begin a new job! This is a sense of unreality transit during which he may feel his dreams coming true, the erosion of relationships, a mystery may surface about his background (familial or otherwise), confusion or deception may complicate his life, and/or possessions may disappear or be lost, reputation included. Some combination of them all may occur before this once-in-a-lifetime transit passes.

Now I won't annoy you, dear reader, by publishing Mr. Hegseth's natal chart here - not today anyway - or by repeating what you've already heard about the FOX TV anchor who's on tape missing a target and hitting one of drummers behind the target with an axe. (His orange overlord must've been pretty pleased with Pete's gone-awry stunt - did he view it on FOX?)

Well, here's a public domain photo from 2018 of the fully tattooed fellow:

Anyway, it's impossible with my schedule to keep up with all the inexperienced, unqualified, least suitable clowns and knaves whose names are being floated or nominated for (acting) positions in government as 2025 begins but I'll do what I can.

So! Here are a few astro-notes concerning the misty Air-Water Sun-Moon personality blend of Mr. Hegseth:

Sun in Mercury-ruled Gemini-Moon in Jupiter-ruled Pisces, co-ruled by Neptune, planet of mass media, subversion, and deception:

This moody, adaptable personality blend tends to "blow with the wind" and is quite a chameleon. Sociable and talkative, the Sun Gemini-Moon Pisces individual is vacillating, versatile, sentimental, and can be "submissive yet cunning." On a communication level, there can be difficulty always getting his points across, perhaps some awkwardness when speaking is suggested. Hegseth is highly sensitive and impressionable with a measure of literary ability. This makes sense considering the multiple books he has published, and most sport Pete's photo on the cover so you can't miss 'em. Perhaps it's his Mercury-Pluto square that aids him when writing about political issues, for the square tends toward secrecy, suspicion, harshness, and cunning.

At his core, he's an introvert (Pisces) disguised as an extrovert (Gemini), an imaginative fellow who may have an issue with a lack of concentration which can show as fickleness or by being hard to pin down emotionally. In fact, Pete may not stick around for the long haul in relationships if things get tough, but he is fun-loving. He's likely to be good with children because he remains childlike himself - and ready for adventure. Yet this blend's lack of boundaries can lead to superficial emotional relationships, and there's a tendency to withdraw in self-pity when feeling misunderstood. This trait of boundlessness is shared with his orange overlord, Mr. T.

To close, the appropriate Image for Integration for this blend supplied by the Harveys is "Peter Pan marries Tinkerbell and they live happily ever after in Never Never Land." And this is where Mr. Hegseth's nomination for US Secretary of Defense belongs - in Never Never Land.

Venus-Saturn at Inauguration 2025

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the USA

Perhaps you've noticed that a certain planetary conjunction appears in the Inauguration 2025 Horoscope (shown below), and that it also appears in the natal horoscope of Mr. Trump - for him, a suggestion of discontent in relationships.

So below you see a limited astro-comparison between the expected event of January 20, 2025 and the authoritarian fellow's natal chart - hard-hearted and full of jealousy as he is - who, with his comrades, intends to control our country, our Treasury, and our lives. Then the complete sabotage and looting of America is meant to follow - so pleasing to our nation's enemies.

What a massive resistance movement is needed!

Meanwhile, one of his foreign masters has let it be known that Mr. T has duties to perform now that he's been shoe-horned into the Oval Office with their help (again), duties which entail tasks that he must accomplish as per command. To me, this vise-like circumstance relates to 2017, when transit Pluto reached 18 Capricorn and transformed the energies of the 1993 Uranus-Neptune Conjunction/s into this seemingly unavoidable potential:

"The big picture commands a certain course of action which must be followed, very little option to do otherwise" (Solar Arcs, Noel Tyl #ad).

Of course, we can now read the transcript of the Project 2025 purge agenda to "appreciate" what sort of "big picture" the draconian zealots of lawless Utopianism intend to implement toward a global government of evil, not just in America. Grifting kleptocrats, the purposefully ineffective know-nothings of government, are being tapped for "service" as I type but on an acting basis so that they can be fired at an overlord's quixotic will - and so that revealing confirmation hearings can be avoided.

US to Enter a Period of Saturnian Misrule

As for the combination of Venus and Saturn in Politics and Business, let's quote Michael Munkasey for more information via the Hegelian Dialectic which describes how anti-societal actors create problems, then "solve" them as they intended to all along:

Thesis: Restrictions on wealth or income; law inforcement avoiding difficult or cumbersome issues; changes forced on an enterprise's new social...values; building the value of the enterprise.

Antithesis: Restrictions on the way society is able to function; elderly people in the enterprise who have artistic tendencies; a law enforcement bureau which derives pleasure from restricting the movement of the people. (Midpoints: Unleashing the Power of the Planets, Munkasey #ad).

Then as you see in the above bi-wheel, Mr. T's Venus-Saturn conjunction in Cancer receives Inauguration 2025's Mars and this uncovers a midpoint picture of note with potentials which may nor may not result:

Jealousy; violence; weakened powers of procreation; inclination to act on the dictates of emotional inhibition or of regained soberness; discussion or dispute; separation (R. Ebertin). Mr. Munkasey adds: lasting get-rich quick schemes.

To close, here's a related post describing one of the major factors that landed our country at this loss-filled pivot point: An American Tragedy of Mass Delusion which contains a revealing explanation by Dr. Carl Jung. Also, here's a previous post showing a bi-wheel of Inauguration 2025 and the Insurrection Act of 1807, a relic which apparently will be invoked so that mass deportations and other police state activities can be committed with alleged justification - against US citizens such as you and me.

And now for a much needed palate cleanser, you may want to catch the insightful commentary from The Daily Show's Jordan Klepper. Or at least, I would if I were you!

Tom Homan the "Border Czar"

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Let's take a look at the natal planets of lawman Tom Homan, Mr. Trump's choice as "border czar" once his draconian Project 2025 purge agenda gets underway in 2025.

Born in West Carthage, New York on November 28, 1961, the natal Moon of Thomas Douglas Homan remained in Leo for the entire 24 hours of the day, and with Sun in early Sagittarius, baby Tom was and remains a volatile, dramatic double Fire individual, a good blend for law enforcement as are his Mercury and Pluto in mutual reception (surveillance; obsession with delving into people's secrets). Meanwhile, his Sun-Mars Conjunction ruled by expansive Jupiter provides Mr. Homan with plenty of energy for chasing crime, engaging in a variety of physical activities, and such.

So in lieu of an accurate birth time, here's the 12:00 pm est natal horoscope of America's new "border czar," Tom Homan - unless Trump quirkily changes his mind; notable is his 18 North Solar Eclipse Series for which we need no accurate birth time, only a date:

Additionally, Mr. Homan's Sun-Mars duo is squared by both Uranus and Pluto so you'll spy a few notations penned on the chart relating to potentials for ruthless energy, militarism, and force.

Then another signficant notation on the chart is his Jupiter-Saturn duo (government officials; politicians; lawmen; clergymen), the midpoint of which now has transit Pluto @29Capricorn activating the duo's energies in society. Not for the traditional checks 'n' balances, but for possibilities of violent changes, immense effort, separation, and/or restriction (R. Ebertin).

Of course, before any of this can poise upon the edge of reality, Mr. Homan must first navigate the choppy waters of the Trump administration's appointment process which, as we've seen in the past, is inherently unstable and dependent upon erratic, fantasy-prone individuals.

Cosmic Blinks: 2025's "Wild Card" Eclipses

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Viewing Year 2025 through the cosmic lens of the year's disruptive "Wild Card" Eclipses reveals emphases on the signs of Aries (one solar) and the Virgo-Pisces victim-savior axis (one solar, both lunars). This spotlights or activates the planets Mars (Aries), plus, Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune (Virgo-Pisces) for Cosmic Blink imperatives sent from Above. Changes of direction in earthly events will likely occur and secrets and/or inconveient facts are set to be uncovered.

So today, for my Friday end-of-the-week post, you see below a dual image of the two Solar Eclipses of 2025 in the 9 New North and the 9 New South Saros Series, along with a dual image of both Total Lunar Eclipses of 2025.

Yet being as fatigued with it all as you are, dear reader, further notes concerning the four eclipses of 2025, other than themes listed below, are hereby postponed to be published later on, most likely to my Stars Over Washington Patreon page exclusively for my special Patreon subscribers who generously support my work here on Stars Over Washington which helps defray expenses. (As can Buying Me a Coffee!) My Thanks to you all, btw!

Meanwhile, here are the four eclipses of 2025 set for Washington DC as a symbol for America; first, the Solar Eclipses:

And below are the Lunar Eclipses. As you see, the first eclipse of 2025 is the Total Lunar Eclipse of March 14th @23Vir56 which conjuncts US 1776 Neptune and squares our 1776 Mars in Gemini. This eclipse ruffles our nation's problematic Mars-Neptune square with its "unconscious habit patterns not appropriate to present reality" (Sakoian and Acker), plus, misdirected motivations, and the fog of war.

Underlying it all is the Moon-Neptune pairing which suggests potentials for refined feelings, subconscious stirrings, faulty assimilation of impressions, illusions and self-deception, oversensitivity, a lack of confidence, strange notions (R. Ebertin) - and the same old mass delusion aligned with our beguiling fantasy that Tr*mp will continue to exploit to the utmost:

Then as our calendars make clear, society begins 2025 with the eclipse energies of the October 2, 2024 8 South Eclipse @10Libra with its difficult themes of loss, partings, and separations. Both Election 2024 and Inauguration 2025 occur under the auspices of the 8 South - and it turns out that freedom is the loser.

On to Solar Eclipse Themes of 2025

9 New North: great physical effort; accidents; sudden physical events; potentials for violent actions; keep a watchful eye on safety; initial 9NN August 21, 1664 @28Leo50; PE of Abraham Lincoln and El*n Mu*k.

9 New South: longterm worries surface concerning health and/or loved ones; issues regarding paperwork or communications; worrisome news with a sense of destiny or fatedness attached, and/or responsibilities with paperwork come home to roost; initial 9NS July 19, 1917 @25Can51 (conjunct US 1776 Mercury: logic required for best results); PE of Charles Koch.

Moon, Jupiter, America 2024

by Jude Cowell, still a partisan for the common good

By now the world knows that Donald Tr*mp has coup'd the White House and will be inaugurated into office (his hand on the Bible? How so? Will it be held upside down?) via the Presidential Oath to protect and defend the US Constitution, the freedom document he plans to toss in a trash bin, our civil rights with it. Only czarish oaths to his nibs will have any meaning for Mr. Tr*mp and for VP Vance who will follow him - Vance, put in position by billionaire Peter Thiel. Members of the billionire class have invested a lot of bucks and have big plans for Mr. Vance.

To astrologers not enthralled to the harsh authoritarian mindset, Be Ready To Defend America even as we look back with sad disbelief at yesterday's election and the November 1st predictive New Moon in Scorpio, sign of betrayal. On a personal note, my uncles who fought Nazis in WWII and my Revolutionary War ancestors who sacrificed, fought, and died to help set up this country are cruelly dishonored, if they could know about this fascist coup. Instead, I must know on their behalves. And so I write SO'W for 18+ years while hoping for a better America.

As for Eclipse Cycles repeating through the years and rhyming via similar historical events, 2024 Eclipses are repeating from 1934 in the 8 North and 8 South Series, the year that Herr Ad*lf became president of Germany, if you get my drift; here's the horoscope with astro-notes penned on:

No, our fight for freedom and democracy isn't over, it's beginning!

Yet with the current fascist ascension, we must expect a time of trouble with wild cards such as El*n Mu*k and B*bby Kenn*dy, Jr lined up to take over various departments of government to kleptocratically ruin and embezzle what they can. That's if faithless Tr*mp keeps his promises to them. Subsequently, a Large Looting will ensue with or without them, so a global financial crash is expected, and the crypto-currency hoax will be favored to undermine the US dollar.

Then another cash cow for thieves will be our social safety net programs, now at risk more than ever before, and this itself will undermine the US economy since consumerism and buying power will be significantly reduced or taken away. Obviously, much suffering will result for seniors and others, and America's enemies will be so proud of their favorite insurrectionist fox back in the hen house where he can commit the American Carnage he threatened on Inauguration Day 2017 (horoscope shown). Plus, as you know, the Catholics on the Supreme Court gave him a pass for criminal acts. Word is, prosecutor Jack Smith has closed his investigations of the orange felon and has packed his bags.

Election 2024

So! Very badly done, male voters of America - and the Latino voters who pulled up the ladder behind themselves. You succumbed to the influence of the brooding Scorpio Moon of Inauguration 2017, and allowed moneybags Jupiter in duplicitous Gemini Rx and moving back and forth among Tr*mp's 10th house Sun-North-Node-Uranus trio to seduce you and pretend to add to your bottom lines. Good luck with that, you'll need it with the orange grifter back in the White House running roughshod over our society, animated by the revenge on his mind. You assume that you and yours will be spared his wrath but that's yet to be seen. Look up "cut off nose to spite face" in the dictionary and there you'll be.

Plus, even more women can ble*d out in parking lots for lack of health care, chumps.

Yet another factor may be that the traditional apathy of the American people took over and voters stayed home on the sofa so that others could do the lifting. We discussed this in a vintage Jude's Threshold post concerning the unconscious Uranus-Neptune square of July 4, 1776. (Count their positions backward from Neptune @22Virgo to Uranus @9Gemini; the post displays a Scorpio Rising horoscope but the positions of both planets are the same). This hidden square seems to me to be one of multiple astrological indicators influencing yesterday's pivotal situation, and others past, present, and future.

And though it's beyond the scope of this post, we can even look back as far as certain Jamestown Colony conditions of 1619 if we have the time and interest to do so.

Now here's a bit about the Sabian Symbol of the (2017 and) 2025 Scorpio Moon/s:

9 Scorpio+ rounded-up to "10 Scorpio": "A Fellowship Supper Reawakens Unforgettable Ties": "FRATERNITY; negative expression: surrender of individual distinction and exaltation of naive animality" (Jones). However, the "fraternity" may not be the pro-society kind, more like the hooded kind.

Additionally, here are Horoscopes of the Solar and Lunar Eclipses that influenced Election 2024 and which continue to do so. The first perfected in muddle-headed Pisces, then the 8 South Solar Eclipse manifested with its difficult themes of loss, separation, and sad partings (B. Brady). Astrologers warned but not enough voters listened. Or, too many voters are fans of racism, sadism, Plutonian animalism and criminality on steroids, as it turns out.

Meanwhile, a target is on the US Constitution, as you know, so it may be significant that the freedom document's next Jupiter Return occurs in 2025 - on May 19th to be exact. The document's current return period began on June 5, 2013 @25Gem22 - and Jupiter was conjunct South Node (1Can09) in 1787, with mundane Jupiter being the planet of freedom, freedom of movement, a freedom movement, expansion, and exploration. Yes, Election 2024 Jupiter is in Gemini, as noted, but retrograde. This backward condition did not aid the Harris-Walz Campaign with its freedom slogan and campaign song by Beyonce.

Full Disclosure: here's what I posted in the middle of the night after the American Albatross was declared victorious: An America of Stupid, Self-Destructive People. Obviously, I was feeling very fussy. Were you?

America's Chiron Return: The First and the Current

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

As you may know, Election 2024 is occurring during America's current Chiron Return, a three-fer series that began April 20, 2024 (DC Horoscope shown, other dates listed).

Well, as the Cosmos has it - and since history tends to rhyme - America's very first Chiron Return/s (also a three-fer due to retrogradation) occurred in 1825 into 1826 @20Ari08 (as in 1776). The rounded-up degree's Sabian Symbol for "21 Aries" is "A Pugilist Entering the Ring." This word picture sounds like a contentious political campaign and subsequent election of a president, doesn't it? Or, make that selection.

Back in 1776, the pugilism obviously referred in large part to the then-ongoing American Revolution, what scofflaw Utopian anarchists are aiming to foment again - except that this time around, the 'maga' anarchists and their enablers represent economic royalists, aka, corporatists and wealthy elitists, and are not American patriots as some of them pretend to be.

So, considering that tomorrow is the very pivotal Election Day 2024, you may wish to read about the political events of 1825 and 1826 when the House of Representatives chose John Quincy Adams for the role. Why? Because no candidate received a majority of Electoral College Votes, a situation that may resemble conditions we face now in 2024, thanks to the current crop of Utopian anarchists who are fascistic and determined to complete the drive for world domination that their idol Herr Ad*lf began decades ago. The little dictator so wanted to coup America!

Well, in case a reader may wish to check out the horoscopes of America's very first Chiron Return/s of the wounded healer centaur, here's a tri-wheel of them so that the dates are readily available. For America's Horoscope, I've used the July 4, 1776 5:09 pm LMT Philadelphia, PA data (with Aries Point conjunct IC) but use whichever data you choose with mildly varying results from what you see here; Symbol information is penned on - negative expression because of the crude bullies our nation is currently infested with:

In closing, here are two additional factors to consider:

1. As with planetary returns, the July 4, 1776 aspects to Chiron repeat whenever Chiron returns to its 1776 degree. They are: squares from Sun and Mercury, a sextile from Mars, and an opposition from Saturn which is the more problematic aspect since it reveals issues with authority (monarchical) and with authenticity - you know, like we have now with bullies and crooks trying to take over leadership of our Ship of State and toss out the US Constitution We the People depend on.

2. If we relocate these first-ever Chiron Return charts for Washington DC, we find a few critical 29th degrees involved which will resonate with the current 29th degree condition of transit Pluto in governmental Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, planet of the law and order and our court system which the anarchists want to entirely dispense with and return America to some sort of a "wild west" free-for-all, with guns ablazin'.
