Rob Ford’s astrology
chart with no exact
time on May 28 1969 Toronto shows the Sun in Gemini at 7 degrees.
Gemini is
airy, chatty, all over the place, immature, Peter Pan complex.
The Sun is conjunct Retrograde
Mercury,
Gemini’s ruling planet at 8 degrees. This combination puts the infamous Gemini
split- personality duality into further treacherous zones as Mercury’s power is
fizzled out by the Sun’s bright rays. Bad communicator. Not good for political
office.
Can’t ever decide
which side of the fence he is on, Mr. Rob is always waffling. Do you think this
makes a good mayor?
Mercury is
opposite Mars, which is also Retrograde. This further increases his natal
opposition of thought and action. See Mars below-
Moon seems to be in
Libra at 27 degrees so he can seem fair and ambassadorial and can be charming.
Moon represents emotions, feelings, and detachment in airy Libra. A people who
needs people kinda guy. Lots of air here,{ hot?} also indicates indecisiveness.
Venus at 23 degrees
of Aries, is brash, not inclined to beauty, a lover of war and spontaneous
actions, easily gets in over his head.
Venus is weak in
Aries but all Arian planets are full of energy and drive. Not too
charming. Venus is opposite the
Moon. Indicates a strong
attachment to his mother, and needing emotional security. Emotional needs are
met through money, luxury, knowing the right people.
Mars in Sagittarius also
Retrograde, This
guy has lots of karmic repeat lessons as indicated by so many Retrograde
planets at his birth. Retrograde Mars is repeating a lesson around power,
abuse, being a warrior, aggression, issues with men, teachers, the law.
Co-incidentally Rob Ford was the outlaw who killed Jesse James. This
aspect also indicates difficulty in school, higher education is not his forte
to put it mildly.
Someone who is unsophisticated,
and crude by
nature, a Centaur. Mars opposite to Mercury means - he may think he has the
brains but its all brawn. Afraid to stretch his imagination or try
anything new, has difficulty grasping a sense of higher idealism.
A bad teacher and leader.
Jupiter is in Virgo
conjunct Pluto and Uranus. Jupiter is expansive, in Virgo it is usually a
perfectionist, a nitpicker, a hard worker dedicated to serving others, but also
himself. Big health problems with
Jupiter in Virgo. Retrograde Uranus and Pluto huddle around Jupiter, three
planets in a huddle are called a stellium. All their energies are intermingled
and act inseparably as one entity.
Jupiter
conjunct Pluto is power, riches but can also be back room politics, unusually
deceptive, deceitful, revengeful, revolutionary underpinnings, and a big
bluffer.
Saturn represents
the father, authority, maturity, corporate structure, seniority, karma,
struggles, obstacles, career and worldly recognition. His father was in
politics, Saturn in Taurus, well he looks very Taurean. Stocky, stubborn, salt
of the earth kinda reg Joe guy. Sensual, fixed, stable, conservative. Pluto is
trining his Saturn right now. This lends him power in his career now. It
is an easy aspect.
Neptune is also Retrograde
at 27 degrees of
Scorpio. Neptune rules illusions, delusions, spirituality, dreams, working
behind the scenes, mental health, compassion, alcoholism, and addictions. In
Scorpio this can be all smoke and mirrors. Posing as a compassionate person
meanwhile digging the dirt, very deeply ruthlessly, someone with very addictive
behaviours, untrustworthy. This is an old karmic pattern.
His North Node is at
27 degrees of Pisces. The North Node represents the highest spiritual goal. In
Pisces, this is root for the underdog, be a chameleon, mutable,
full of
illusions, a martyr, works behind the
scenes. In square to the Galactic Center. A space cadet if unconscious, which
he is.
Interestingly
Jupiter and Uranus are on his North Node right now, so expect the Unexpected,
Big changes but not necessarily stable at all. This helps him to grow and
expands his higher goals. His personal ones. Jupiter and Uranus are opposite
his natal Jupiter and Uranus in Virgo. The planets are also opposite his Pluto
and his South Node too, which is at 27 degrees of Virgo and trining his Natal
Neptune in Scorpio. Interestingly the transiting North Node will enter
Sagittarius in early 2011 and transit the Galactic Center at 27 degrees of
Sagittarius in March.
Transiting Neptune and Chiron
are squaring
his natal Neptune- this is a classic. This is a mid life transit
where the person being affected feels like al is rosy, and is set up for a huge
fall! If Rob thinks he’s risen to the top and he sees the world through rose
coloured glasses! Well better get a big cushion ready for your arse.
Pluto will be squaring his
Natal Chiron in
Aries at 6 degrees shortly. Chiron is the wounded healer. As Pluto rules the
soul, you got be clean and transparent- he does use these words. Pluto is power
riches control. This can give him the power to heal others and conversely get a
huge kick in the teeth himself. Jupiter will transit his Chiron in the spring.
That’s a big hurt. Oy what a headache! One way or the other.
Jupiter is
intrepidly marching through Aries in 2011 hitting his Venus and onto Taurus
where Rob will experience a Jupiter Saturn conjunction, which is an excellent
transit. It happens only once every 12 years.
These are some very
powerful transits he is having. When dealing with Uranian energy the outcome is
erratic, it is all about re-inventing yourself.
I don’t like Rob
Ford myself. My pendulum said Rob would win.
