Mercury Rx and the Midlife Crisis of Kash Patel

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

When it comes to political nominations and the announcement of them, of note is the current Mercury Retrograde period ("Rx," which began November 25, 2024 @22Sag40 conjunct the natal Moon-South-Node conjunction of Mr. T, his cosmic signature of bad timing, emotional alienation, and lack of popularity - as are his grifter nominations in the views of a majority of the country). This is also a Mercury-opposite-natal-Sun transit for Mr. T which denotes a time of differing opinions, disagreements, and a potential for ego bruising.

Then Mercury, planet of ideas, plans, communications, commerce, tricks, decisions, nominations, and announcements, in retrograde motion suggests withdrawals such as that of Matt Gaetz, and difficulties and/or delays getting nominees through the confirmation process, if not outright rejections (ex: Rick Scott). You'll find a Mercury Rx-Direct-Shadow Tri-Wheel of 2024 into 2025 shown, below.

The point is that a Mercury Rx period is an unfavorable time for decisions, nominations, or announcements which may need to be retracted at some point. Mr. T's nominations for power positions for his favorite grifters and the unsavory seem rather ham-handed to me but of course, thievery, revenge, cruelty, and the collapse of US society and government are their aims, at the command of fascistic enemies of America, both foreign and domestic.

See Kash Patel for FBI Director Faces Senate Blowback.

Unfortunately, the "blowback" may be mainly for public consumption as will other confirmation hearings if they occur.

Now the current Mercurial process turns Direct on December 15, 2024 @6Sag23 but The Messenger planet won't reach, then leave, his/her own shadow until January 2, 2025 (22Sag40) - just in time for the 119th Congress to swear in, such as it is.

FBI Director Patel? Weaponization and Revenge Not Law and Order

Here is a 'noon' natal Horoscope for Kash Patel born February 25, 1980 in Garden City, New York; a few astro-notes follow:

As you see, natal Mercury is stationing and about to turn Rx while opposing natal Saturn. Both planets square his Neptune in Sagittarius creating a dynamic T-Square, yet it's Jupiter Rx in Virgo - closely conjunct Mars Rx - that forms a Mutual Reception relationship with Mercury meaning that the two planets are on friendly terms. Together the planetary pair tends toward expansive ideas and plans, and have likely inspired his extensive merchandising and promotional schemes. Plus, some form of misjudgment may possibly occur if perspectives are overly grand - especially considering his Mercury-Neptune square of misperception, deception, fantasy, and lack of discrimination.

This is a cosmic echo of the very same natal aspect regularly used by indiscreet fantasist extraordinaire Mr. T, he of the Big Lie. Therefore, we can expect Mr. Patel to be challenged in the secrets-keeping department - and with the sense of national insecurity this brings.

Then if a dear reader such as yourself happens to be familiar with the natal planets of Mr. T, or even if you're not, you'll notice that there are several contacts between the two men, both positive and negative, even without having an accurate birth time for Kash Patel, as shown in their Synastry Grid, below, and excluding chart Angles and the Moon:

A Grand "Deep State" Conspiracy Theorist

At first, having shared interests and aims, things are on the sympatico side for them, but strong personalities will soon show through tension, friction, differing values (1946 vs 1980), quarrels, plus, both men will be determined to dominate in their relationship and on certain issues. Yet naturally, the power dynamic of boss-underling makes clear who will "win" the battle for domination whether Mr. Patel makes it as Director of the FBI or not.

But if Patel grabs the Director's seat, Mr. T will certainly be pleased, for as Thom Hartmann and others have observed, Mr. Patel will "go after the media" - and after anyone who has criticized authoritarian grudge-holder Mr. T because bright spotlights cast upon criminal roaches can force them to scatter, as we know, so that their criminal sprees, schemes, and plundering might be delayed or interrupted.

As we see, Patel's natal North Node of destiny conjoins royal star Regulus, the kingmaker, while simultaneously landing upon the natal Ascendant of Mr. T. A fated relationship is indicated, and reveals that the Great American Eclipse of August 21, 2017 landed upon Kash Patel's North Node and must have added to his sense of destiny within their association. And it's significant for Mr. T back in 1980 when he was 34 years old with transit North Node conjunct his Ascendant and his Mars rising - back when he was "creating" his public image.

Kash Patel's 18 South Eclipse @26AQ40

His is a Total 18 South Eclipse February 16, 1980 @26AQ50 (conjunct transit Siva, the creator-destroyer). For those who use a late afternoon July 4, 1776 Moon of We the People in late Aquarius, our mundane Luna was 'eclipsed' by the 1980 Solar Eclipse suggesting psychic awareness but with a potential that skeptics will refuse to learn from past mistakes (R. Lineman). As you know, America now has a bunch of such folks, including in relation to the first election of Mr. Reagan - a president whom some folks continue to idolize despite his destructive economic policies of the greedy 1980s which favored and continue to favor the wealthy class wherever neo-liberalism's "trickle down" policies hold sway.

18 South Themes: endings, partings, separations which may include grief or anguish; yet eventual outcomes can be positive (paraphrasing B. Brady). The last 18 South manifested @19Pisces on March 9, 2016, an eventful year for Kash; the next 18S will occur March 20, 2034 @30Pisces which amounts to a Spring Equinox 2034 Solar Eclipse as was the Spring Equinox 2015 Eclipse that timed Mr. T's prez bid ride down the golden escalator. And both eclipses conjunct the fixed star of extreme misfortune, Scheat.

Meanwhile, the planetary aspects operative during Mr. Patel's Prenatal Eclipse of 1980 reveal traits within the environment into which Baby Kashyap was born:

Uranus square Eclipse: indifference to the needs of humanity, lack of care or concern for society; radical or rebellious activities; Pluto trine Eclipse: spiritually, Kash Patel knows better and was raised with Hindu values; Saturn inconjunct Eclipse: an immature, ne'er-do-well freeloader with hard-to-break habits (R. Lineman says this in her Prenatal Eclipse booklet - I'm only the typist!).

Yet we know that as FBI Director, Mr. Patel should be required to do better in the responsibility department via his own Saturn Rx in fact-based Virgo which opposes his Pisces Mercury ("the world is against me"; refuses to listen to differing opinions - A. Oken), Saturn sextile Uranus (business opportunities via older associates), and Saturn square Neptune (dissatisfaction or confusion over attainments and goals; consolidation of efforts may be difficult; anxious, neurotic; a hard worker yet inefficient; can be self-defeating and involved in scandals). Well, surely he's matured and learned a few lessons by now (she typed optimistically).

Meanwhile, the Uranian Mr. T's habitual unreliability and erratic, impulsive nature that loves to shock and create chaos may become negatives for Mr. Patel and, as previously shown through our past experience, for anyone else attempting to work in the White House under his heftiness as of January 20, 2025 when their draconian Project 2025 purge, aka, American Carnage, begins implementation against the American people.

Transit Uranus Opposing Natal Uranus: Midlife Crisis

Naturally, all transits and progressions to an individual's planets should be considered for a fuller picture, however, a major transit, a first-ever affair, is ongoing for Mr. Patel and was exact in early November 2024. It's transit Uranus @24Taurus (conjunct Mr. T's natal Midheaven of Aspirations, Public Status, and Career) opposing Patel's natal Uranus in Scorpio (conjunct Mr. T's natal IC of Endings).

Everyone has a midlife transit, timed by behavioral planet Uranus, and marking a period of uncharacteristic behavior which can surprise others (ex: the family SUV guy splurges on a red convertible), plus there tends to be generational clashes, and restlessness. Then a new, unusual, or unorthodox phase of life may begin. Notably, Patel's Uranus in Scorpio tends to behave fearlessly and ruthlessly, and can get self and others into dangerous situations (R. Ebertin). We also can note that his Uranus conjunction with Mr. T's natal IC is possibly one of their friction points considering mundane Uranus' tendency to disrupt and/or reform, sometimes irrationally.

Now on the personality level, Mr. Patel's double Water Sun Pisces-Moon Cancer blend reveals him to be ultra-sensitive, moody, and highly imaginative. In closing, here's an appropriate quote by a famous jurist who shares Mr. Patel's natal blend, Justice Earl Warren:

"Many people consider the things which government does for them to be social progress, but they consider the things government does for others as socialism."

Don't they though!

Plus, here's an overview of the FBI founded July 26, 1908 which initially began with 10 agents, then reached 34 agents by March 1909.

On John Steinbeck's Life, Death, and Saturn

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

"It is the nature of man as he grows older...to protest against change, particularly change for the better." John Steinbeck

However, current changes proposed for the American people and our government are definitely not for the better. See Project 2025 Ideas Have Failed Before.

And so today, SO'W departs from the hateful realm of US politics to consider the life, death, and a few flawed personality traits of one of America's greatest authors, John Steinbeck (C-rated horoscope shown). His novels, some controversial in their time, such as The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men, Cannery Row - the list goes on and if you need to check them out, a Thought Company list provides an overview, plus, added are few biographical details concerning Steinbeck as well.

And yet this Great-Depression-era author could be considered an appropriate subject for a Political Astrology spotlight because the writer's topics during his era, such as greed and the suffering leveled against America's working class by plutocrats such as bankers, politicians, and others of an exploitative nature - are the same crimes against humanity that elite classes continue to perpetrate in our day. Yes, Mr. Steinbeck's 6th house Saturn in Capricorn was strongly determined toward career sucess, but for me, it's his sadistic treatment of his wives and children that land him in the character flaw category. In this, Steinbeck's similarity to the current crop of Republican cabinet member nominees is apparent. Misogyny then, misogyny now. In fact, they share a strong-armed paternalism of cruelty and control.

And yes, there are indications in the author's natal chart of trouble with Mama and thus in adulthood, serious issues with women. His Scorpio Moon squares his Mercury-Venus conjunction (planetary signature of a popular writer) and Luna also squares Jupiter (an aspect of taking the easy way out, and one that can lead to religious zealotry - perhaps his Mom's?). Plus, there's a complex sesqui-square with spiritual Neptune, a suggestion of deception, misunderstandings about or with Mother, and/or overblown religious beliefs. Plus, a Scorpio Moon can be problematic and suggests difficulties of its own: some form of betrayal is possible, or perhaps the smother mother syndrome afflicted John in childhood.

Meanwhile, Steinbeck's natal Sun in Pisces fares little better other than his deep well of imaginative creativity via Pisces, but serious health threats were suffered in his younger years (Sun = Saturn-MC: illness with Pisces often a sign of contagion or infection). Understandably, these weakening experiences marked him with depressive tendencies. And then there's his natal Ascendant (physical body) in Leo, sign of vitality - that's Leo, sign of the heart.

A Recommended Documentary: John Steinbeck: Flawed Genius. (You may need to rewind.)

As for his double water Sun Pisces-Moon Scorpio blend, a measure of intuition is obvious along with brilliant creativity, and overflowing feelings. The will to expose hardship and the exploitation of others (but not of his family's, it seems) was clearly expressed in his literary works. Yet we know that turbulent relationships often come along with this passionate combination of conscious-unconscious energies as can a tendency toward harboring irrational suspicions (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Charles and Suzi Harvey #ad).

So click the link, above, for a view of his natal horoscope as you wish. No need to show it here as a stand-alone chart so how about a speculatively timed Death Horoscope for the cold-hearted, emotionally complicated yet talented John Steinbeck surrounding his natal horoscope so that we see the two Angular planets of destructive energies, Mars and Saturn, upon his natal MC-IC axis - and 1968 Saturn at Rx station and defiantly demanding a major change of direction:

The Solar Eclipse of Matt Gaetz

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

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.

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.

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:

Pete Hegseth; Gage Skidmore from Peoria, AZ, United States of America, CC BY-SA 2.0 , via Wikimedia Commons

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.
