His chart progressed to July 15, 2026
Event markers are a progressed aspect to Mars (soldiers and testosterone), a progressed aspect Uranus (change in policy); and a progressed aspect to the ruler of house 6 (army personnel).
Progressed Mars at 7 Libra 05 and 2S39 in house 10 was parallel birth chart Moon at 3S12 in house 3 and semisquare birth chart Uranus as 22 Scorpio 35R in house 11.
And progressed Venus at 20 Gemini 33 – the cusp ruler of house 6 in house 7 – was square birth chart Saturn at 20Virgo 24 in house 9 and opposition birth chart Neptune at 21 Sagittarius 26R in house 1.
46-year-old Hegseth, who appears to suffer from imposter syndrome (Saturn is square Neptune in his chart) and a modern masculinity complex (Sun is square Mars), framed the initiative as a readiness and performance measure, emphasizing that maintaining optimal testosterone levels helps troops operate at their ‘absolute best’ and supports psychological, mental, and physical readiness on the modern battlefield.
The gonad glands, comprising the testes in males and ovaries in females, produce essential hormones like testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone that regulate reproductive functions and secondary sexual characteristics.
Testosterone, the male sex hormone secreted by the testes, is well known as a generator of male virility. It makes a man manly. It’s ruled by Mars and tones up the other glands, rejuvenates the whole body and exercises a profound influence upon the generation of electrical energies by the nervous system.
In men discordant aggressive thought-cell activity mapped by a discordant birth chart Mars and discordant social thought-cell activity mapped by a discordant Venus disturb the secretion of testosterone and Mars and Venus are discordant in Pete Hegseth’s birth chart.
The disturbance, which places a strain on emergency energy, impairs sexual function and the body’s ability to fight infection and, due to chemical imbalance, makes it difficult to direct the thinking and harms the body’s natural rejuvenation processes, is inclined to express when progressed aspects to Mars and Venus activate the birth chart predisposition.
The danger imposed by testosterone replacement therapy involves its influence on the other glands which may have become weakened with age and are unable to maintain the necessary chemical balance when it’s (unnaturally) administered via injections, transdermal patches, gels, buccal systems, or subcutaneous pellets. The physical and mental rejuvenation the therapy promotes is always temporary.
