His chart’s astrodyne report
Ascendant (his personality) dominates from the third decanate of Leo – ambition – and burning ambition inclines him to increase his power and prestige no matter what: even sacrificing his friends and personal integrity in the interest of self-aggrandizement.
Ascendant is conjunction Mercury (his intellectual urge), Venus (his social urge in house 12), square Mars (his aggressive urge) and trine Neptune (his utopian urge) and harmonious: best qualities are kindness and leadership; worst are domination and officiousness.
Sun is in Leo – I will – and he’s strong-willed determined, enthusiastic and upbeat.
Leo dominates and is harmonious: his best quality is kindness; worst is domination.
Sun decanate is Crater – rulership – and he’s got a strong desire to manage, control and dominate and a powerful love nature that inclines towards extreme expression – hedonistic-sensualism and self-denying celibacy.
The non-prominent Sun – the ruler of his personality – is in house 12 (disappointment, sorrow, secrets, hidden enmity and self-undoing). It’s square Saturn (delays and loss) and trine Uranus (sudden elevation and advancement).
Moon is in Libra and his I balance mentality is even-tempered, affable, approval seeking and easily swayed by flattery.
Moon decanate is Draco – independence – and he feels compelled to fight and destroy those who oppose his regressive conservatism and simple fundamentalist viewpoints. Conflict is on his agenda.
Moon – his domestic urge – is his weakest planet. It’s semisquare (friction) Mercury and sextile Venus.
Mercury – his dominant planet – is in Virgo and he’s logical, detailed, meticulous and fussy.
Mercury decanate is Bootes – achievement– and his restless analytical mind assimilates information and tackles gigantic mental tasks. Practical achievement feeds his desire for greater personal accomplishment.
Mercury – his intellectual urge – is in house 1 (his personality) and trine Jupiter (optimism and religion), sextile Saturn (deep thinking, sound judgements and shrewdness) and square Uranus (detrimental radical ideas and high nervous tension). Mercury is harmonious: best quality is expression; worst is restlessness.
Best planet is Neptune: idealism, exaggeration and flights of fancy.
Worst is Mars: aggression, conflict, combat, selfishness, harshness and anger. It’s in Scorpio, his worst sign; and house 4 (home life and father), his worst house.
House 1 (him) dominates. It’s harmonious. Then house 3 (his private thinking, writing, short journeys and neighbors.)
Best house is 5 (his children, entertainment life, sport and speculation).
House 10 and midheaven (his public persona, credit and relations with superiors) are high in discord. Venus in house 12 – the cusp ruler of house 10 – square the Midheaven is a major trouble spot.
Mars – his aggressive urge – is prominent and square Venus (violent emotions), square ascendant (harsh, self-destructive thoughts and behavior) and opposition Midheaven (adverse publicity and public notice).
Born and raised in Lower-Pluto’s new dark age he’s ignorant of its perils and offers little resistance to the evils its inflicting on unsuspecting souls like himself.
Square aspects to Sun, Venus, ascendant and Midheaven map obstacles, frustrating setbacks and struggle. Trine aspects to Sun, Mercury and ascendant map luck and good fortune.
Ascendant, Mercury, Midheaven, Uranus, Mars, Neptune and Venus have above average power and play an influential role in his life.
Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune were retrograde when he was born.
Mercury turned retrograde in November 1996; Uranus turned direct in March 2000; Jupiter turned direct in January 2012; Mercury turned direct in April 2020; and Neptune turned direct in November 2022.
