New House Speaker...
Last edited Sat Oct 28, 2023, 08:10 PM - Edit history (1)
Hello DU Astrology Forum,
I write a blog -- and in my last post, I wrote about the horoscope of Mike Johnson. Thought it might make for an interesting discussion. I'm missing Starlight News, too.
First up…the new Speaker of the House. Note the journey of the Moon on Tuesday, and note that House Republicans announced their 4th nominee — Mike Johnson — in the early evening:
"TUESDAY: The “sobering focus on what’s real and practical” is symbolized by the meet-up of the Pisces Moon with Saturn at 5:34 AM ET. This focused sobriety receives plenty of structural support from the other kids in the cosmic sandbox: Sun trines Moon at 5:44 AM ET; Moon trines Mercury at 10:56 AM ET (make your pitch before then); Moon trines Mars at 6:57 PM ET (put the plan into action)…and maybe have cause to celebrate around 11:56 PM ET, when Moon sextiles Jupiter."
Looks like a potentially productive day, doesn’t it? And so then I looked at what we know of Johnson’s horoscope and thought, “Welp. He’s got a strong shot at this.” And he did. All Republicans present — 220 of them — voted to elect him Speaker the very next day.
Here is Avid Reader Penny, who emailed her take on Johnson’s chart before I could write mine up — so take it away, Penny [with my notes in italics]:
"Even though I don’t have a birth time, I could not wait to look at the new Speaker of the House’s birth data. Mike Johnson was born on Jan 30, 1972, per Wikipedia, just 2 days after Amy Coney Barrett. [Good catch, Penny! Isn’t it interesting that Barrett has been compared to a handmaid, and now Johnson is being compared to a Gilead commander. Where do we see that potential in their horoscopes?] Similar to the former guy, it was on a lunar eclipse, with nodes which are exactly square the upcoming eclipse, 10/28/2023. Transiting Pluto is conjunct his natal Mercury [powerfully persuasive communicator right about now], in a close trine to his natal Saturn and both are in an out-of-sign trine to his natal Pluto (which is conjunct President Biden’s Neptune). A high-functioning Mars in Aries [the sign Mars rules] is in opposition to Uranus, reflecting how he seemed to appear suddenly. [Yes, and how he’s likely on the fringe — and potentially reckless when it comes to action — full of surprises]. The empathetic Pisces Venus probably contributes to his “nice guy” persona…[Yes, and that can seem accommodating, but Venus has no support from the other planets in his horoscope, and an exalted Venus may not merit the pedestal on which it’s placed]."
I would add that Johnson’s Jupiter is in Sagittarius — strong in the sign it rules, and it is close enough to 0 Capricorn to be on the Aries Point, demanding our attention. Jupiter refers to collective beliefs (not facts), including religion (the dogma part, not so much the spiritual part, which is Neptune), and Johnson is known for his avowed Christianity. His Jupiter is square to Pluto in Libra — also on the Aries Point, so we see the potential for resources, power, and all that Jupiter symbolizes pushed to extremes — and which could make him famous.
Oh wait — there’s more. His Saturn is at 29 Taurus — the verrrry end of the sign that seeks its ambition and authority in an empire of material comfort and security — however things ought to be. A planet at the end of a sign is in a crisis point, and this Saturn needs to build something material before it enters Gemini and has to face the facts (which are different from Jupiter-in-Sagittarius beliefs). Johnson’s Saturn is conjunct the Fixed Star Alcyone — which is not a happy placement. It suggests a person of blurred vision — who can’t accept the opinions of others. Elon Musk and Richard Nixon have this in their horoscopes.
Finally, we should note the basics. Johnson’s Sun is in Aquarius, driven by the Moon in Leo. If pushed out of balance, the energy for detached, intellectual innovation, driven by a commanding stage presence and a need for the love love love, could create a potential king complex. Everything he does would be personal, potentially devoid of logic. Thus it was interesting when Alexandra Petri (WaPo’s resident humorist) took him to task for bemoaning the real problem in the recent AR-15 massacre in Maine. It wasn’t the gun; it was “the human heart.” –– oh, there’s just not enough love to go around. Petri’s op-ed is now the second most-read article on the WaPo site, after the live updates on Israel and Gaza.

He also said that Putin did have a cardiac incident. If you want more information, please watch the video. Time stamps will be in place within 24 hours.
