Such
a nice guy...
This
text has been written just after September 11th 2001
As
usual, we have studied this person without knowing his
identity. Comparing afterwards with the real Bush was
very enlightening.
The aim of our astrological studies is to understand the
way someone behaves, to highlight what makes him (or her)
progress, while getting to the heart of the matter,
behind the façade.
Once the diamond out of its gangue, we can examine a
simplified model that enables to understand.
And sometimes, to anticipate.
Today's study, as we shall see, shows a disarming chart:
we have a feeling of someone dreamy, vague, a little lazy
but probably tenacious, who wants to be as good as his
dad... and who is very lucky.
He has adopted a merry attitude, almost simple to bear
the pressure... He knows how to be charming, but he may
sometimes prove to be very naïve... His fertile
imagination can drive him far from real life...
George W. Bush is Cancer,
with a Leo ascendant.
The association
between Cancer and Leo
is rather happy: the extrovert Leo usually makes up for
the introverted Cancer.
The Cancer, thanks to his imagination, builds himself an
ideal persona. This persona, influenced by the Leo side,
is of course superb-looking, he has a lovely mane, he
glows.
George then only has to put himself out so that the image
reflected back to him looks like this hero.
Venus in House I
(House of the Personality) increases the emotional
side of the person and gives him charm
(there is as much femininity as masculinity in this
nature as we'll see below). Venus brings luck
too.
Engaging,
kind, the person is attractive (and he likes to charm
people!), he sometimes moves others, disarming the most
vindictive ones because there is inside him something
childish or spontaneous (Mercury, planet of the teenage
years, is extremely close to the ascendant, and the Moon,
planet of the childhood, rules the Cancer sign) nobody
can resist to.
Remark: by
misuse of language, we speak of ten planets,
including the two luminaries, the Sun and the Moon.
It is not unusual
that people forgive him his excesses, his spoiled child
whims, his boasts, his lies... or even his total
ignorance.
For he is generous too; and he keeps for a long time the
gift to be filled with wonder.
The Cancer sign adds
a dreamy side, a little idealistic. The
person should even make sure that he doesn't delude
himself, that he doesn't believe that miracles are
specially intended for him!
There is in this
chart a very great need, and desire, to assert oneself
too, firstly because of the Leo ascendant (that usually
makes the Ego "swell") but also because of the
fact that all the planets are gathered in the left part
of the chart, around the self symbolized by the
ascendant.
However, with the
Sun (the Sun, that rules the Leo sign, here the ascendant
sign, is another facet of the self) in House XII and with
the dissonance between Saturn and the Midheaven (the
Midheaven represents self-fulfillment), it is probable
that the passage into adulthood and independence will
here take a long time.
This is all the more
likely as the dissonance between the Sun and the Moon
makes it difficult to clearly dissociate the feminine and
masculine parts, which causes a lack of balance and an
uneasiness that may for instance lead this person to be a
Casanova at first...
Moreover, the
dissonance between the Sun and Jupiter may indicate a relational
problem with the father, with whom the
"rendezvous" was missed or made impossible. The
person may thus find it difficult to accept all
kinds of authorities. In any case there seems to
exist, with the paternal image, a painful point or a
secret wound that can never quite disappear...
With 3 planets in
the Libra sign, the person has a basic, constant need to
be approved, liked and acknowledged.
Pluto in House I adds many inner stresses,
and anxiety. The person may become flustered by very
little... and it surprises people. He may also let
himself go to anger... and that makes him immediately
unhappy and guilty.
He is actually an extremely sensitive, emotional man, but
with a passionate nature.
It is only on the
day when he manages to set off, to distance himself from
his childhood (and to settle his problem with his
father), that he can at last start to express his own
desires and to see his many gifts blossom.
He then also has to become aware that, for him, family
life and social life are equally important, and that he
has to find a balance between them to really reach
self-fulfillment.
But to achieve his
ends, the person absolutely needs financial
success too (Mars is in House II, meaning that
he naturally uses a high proportion of his energy for
mainly material and financial goals).
This material success gives him access to the numerous
pleasures he intends enjoying or he simply dreams of,
gives him ways to satisfy his extravagant nature and his taste
for beauty, his generous, easily sumptuous
disposition.
It also means for him the real success
(as he conceives it), it has symbolic value...
At the same time,
the person surely passionately wishes to have a
hold over others, to exert an influence on them.
He may preferably choose his acquaintances among
prestigious or successful people.
Although he attaches a great importance to his
friendships, he probably does not make friends with
anybody (Uranus is in House XI, the Companions House).
The person is likely
to show an aesthetic and artistic sense, perhaps some
gifts for painting, writing or music even; and if he
makes nothing of those, he may choose some of his friends
among creators.
With Mercury
extremely close to the ascendant, and three planets in
the Libra sign, the person is in any case a communicator.
He is pleasant, very go-ahead, easy to get on with; he
knows how to find allies.
But if he generally has a conciliatory talk, and is able
to make concessions, he probably hides an iron fist in
his velvet glove: the masculine planets of the chart are
very powerful, and moreover, Pluto in House I indicates
pugnacity. With Pluto, the person may even be subjected
sometimes to violent impulses, that certainly help him to
build (... or to destroy maybe).
With the dissonance
between the Sun and Jupiter, the person cannot count on
pure luck. Only the plans patiently put in place, the
ideas carefully thought through will have a chance to
become a reality: this aspect often requires to make an
effort to adapt. But with Mercury in conjunction with
Pluto in House I, the person can use his penetrating,
critical and inquiring mind to make
progress.
The very strong
position of the Moon at the Immum Coeli, making a
dissonant aspect with the Sun in the Cancer sign (the Sun
is thus controlled by the Moon, that rules the Cancer
sign), creates during the whole life an
excessively unstable, imaginative, impressionable,
emotional, capricious, or dependent pole.
There is a great temptation to regress, in the more
difficult times...
Until the person finally grows up, he may rather want,
when everything goes wrong, to take refuge in sleep,
alcohol... or chocolate.
There is a lot of vagueness at any rate.
A Midheaven in the
Aries sign often suggests, professionally, ideas of
ambition, of active strength, of initiative and of
command. The person probably needs to have the leading
role.
As long as he is seen as a leader, he holds his role with
the (necessary) feeling of being in his element...
Remark:
The Sun and
Saturn in House XII introduce the idea of a possible
ordeal in the destiny, and may indicate pictures of
deprivation, loss or confining perhaps.
Does the person only feel "prisoner"
sometimes of his close circle? Or should we go
further, and let images of prison, of hospital,
arise?
