Nixon A Profile

The Early Years
Born in Fullerton, he grows up in the idyllic towns of Whittier and Yorba Linda, far from the bustling insanity of a big metropolis.
1941, the day he meets Prescott Bush and is dubbed as the future of the party. The world is in chaos and the forces of darkness are upon the Earth. The dark lord himself, one of Hitler’s financiers Prescott Bush, teaches Nixon the ropes. In his indoctrination, he learns the value of drug money, petro-chemicals – plastics, gas and oil, pharmaceuticals and the automobile industry. Of course, banks and insurance companies are part of the great international marketing plan. The concept is to control everything globally and to do so you have to eliminate competition. World domination was in back in 1941…Germany and Japan were already in the process. England and France had already had their day in the sun of global expansion as had the Spaniards. The United States had a duty to stop Fascism and then Communism. They were, ultimately, competition for resources and the only way to control everything was to influence foreign governments or install your own despot. But that all came later, after the creation of the CIA in the 50’s, when a 39-year-old Vice President began covert operations around the world. After serving in the Pacific theater during the war and subsequently getting into congress, he then served on HUAC, where he was a known commie-chaser. Upon his election as VP under Eisenhower, his first challenge was Korea but he really started getting into Viet Nam and then Cuba, which becomes an obsession. The biographies are sketchy about his activities during the Eisenhower years and flying under the radar is what a sneaky spy catcher likes to do.

The real interesting stuff is revealed in his chart. He is an introvert, with all his personal planets below the horizon, leaving only Saturn, Neptune and Pluto above to be exposed in the external world of the social realm. Not gifted with a brilliant mind, he compensated by learning as much as he could by reading and studying subjects he was weak on or needed to know more about. His stellium in the 4th house in Sag and Cap or Mars, Mercury and Jupiter show this keen and sharp mind, eager to learn as much as he could. But Capricorn is a very private sign, and they distrust people’s motives, thinking their power will be usurped.

Even though they like the success, they don’t like their privacy intruded upon. This stellium of Mars, Mercury and Jupiter is in a close opposition to Pluto, creating the corruption and the dark side forces, including the mob and other forms of underworld activity. This would include but not be limited to, the invasion of other people’s privacy in the form of taping conversations with them, later to be used as blackmail weapons. It would also pertain to the gas and oil industries, as Pluto has domain over them. Some would say Neptune does and I would say, okay, fine. Neptune is opposite his Sun. Either way you look at it, deception and corruption are the hallmarks of his legacy. Throw in, for good measure, his square from Saturn to his Moon and Venus! I don’t think he liked women all that much and Pat stood by him because of his power and where would she be able to go where he wouldn’t track her down? His moon in Aquarius makes him emotionally erratic and unpredictable, but he takes care of his friends. In the mafia, “friends” is code for other people in the same business with whom you have a favorable arrangement. You wouldn’t take them home to meet your wife and kids but they would be known to other members of your “Family”.

Back to his Jupiter and Mercury in Capricorn, they do one other thing…they square the nodes, which is referred to as a skipped step in the evolutionary process. What that means is he never learned what responsible use of the truth was all about. Plus, Jupiter is in about the worst sign it could be in regarding trust in political ventures. I could put it thusly…he used as much information as he desired to manipulate the results he wanted. Most politicians use this tactic but he was a master of it. His Moon in Aquarius is in a square to the asteroid of nurturing, Ceres, so he never got any affection from his mother, nor his wife. He was cold to her and she to him, no doubt. How can presidential wives ever get any respect or attention? We diminish their importance, but face it…without women, none of us would be here.

Gerald Ford
He has always been remembered as the president who couldn’t walk and chew gum at the same time. He has since been outdone in clumsiness by the current holder of the position, which gives him way too much power and far too little accountability. That I shouldn’t make this about anyone else, Gerry Ford loved the outdoors and sports, growing up a Cornhusker in Nebraska, an outgrowth of his Moon in Sag, which also led to politics. He was on the Warren Commission that helped squelch the truth about the JFK assassination and was rewarded for his cooperation by Nixon to replace Spiro Agnew, who resigned because of income tax evasion charges. Why won’t they do that with Cheney? Back to the chart; the Sun conjoining Neptune can be spiritual, creative, imaginative, addictive, escapist or deceptive, as well as any number of other descriptions. Mercury in Leo is in a square to Mars, an argumentative and confrontational inquisitor and clumsy of speech, as things get blurted out without much reflection. That’s why they have scripts! Reagan rarely needed a script in many of his early speeches, as the actor memorized and extemporized with the best of them, which is why he swept the field in his elections. But Gerry, with Jupiter in Capricorn, benefited by knowing the right guy at the right time to be of help to each other. Venus in Gemini opposite the Moon is a very compromising aspect, I would think. Maybe the North Node in Pisces with Juno there and the Sun/Neptune conjunction had a lot to do with the pardon for Nixon. Oh wait, no…that had to have been part of the deal going in. “You’ll let me go Scott free, Gerry, or I’ll break your balls, make no mistake about it.“
An update on his medical condition…in January he entered the hospital in Palm Springs, near his home, for pneumonia in January 2006. He was okay.

Spiro Agnew was Nixon’s first Vice President…let’s look at this creep. Sun/Venus squares Neptune, so right there you have the reason he succeeded and failed all in one aspect…almost. Mercury in Sag is square the opposition of Saturn to Uranus, as he regularly offered his wise-guy opinion with negativity and scorn, often with deliberate alliteration to remind us of his South Node in Gemini. His Moon is in Capricorn opposite Jupiter in Cancer, so he needed to be more honest and generous to the American people. Instead, he called some, “nattering nabobs of negativism.” Mars square Chiron shows issues with anger and patience. Mercury square Saturn could be a fear-monger. He resigned from office because he was convicted of income tax evasion.

Ronald Reagan – The Great Communicator and Commie hater
Not much of an Aquarian, except in his friendly, strange ways, he had three planets in Capricorn, Moon and Saturn in Taurus, which accounts for his conservatism. However, Mercury conjunct Uranus in Cap makes for a bright mind, able to use information that has been accumulated over a long life with lots of movie dialogue ready for the right questions. The Mercury conjunction also has the brilliant ideas for making futuristic changes, like being environmentally strong as governor and seeing the end of Communism. This aspect also made him an idealist, without the reality check of having to walk in another man’s shows…or shoes.

His Jupiter in Scorpio was right on the South Node, giving him a past life in which he governed ruthlessly, possibly in China and opposite that is the Moon in Taurus, for which his sweet tooth became famous, with his addiction for jellybeans. With planets on both nodes, his struggle between the past and the future would be a major battlefield. His Sun squares the nodal axis and planets, indicating skipped steps in his karma. Asserting his will would have been the way to balance that out and some might say he did. Others might suggest that Bush ran the country while Reagan slept. But let’s see what the chart says.

Having Neptune in the 7th house and Venus in Pisces, it’s no wonder he married two actresses. Venus is also conjunct Chiron, indicating a soulmate union, as well as relating to wounded souls. This conjunction is in sextiles to both Mars in Cap and Saturn in Taurus. So a long and energetic relationship would be the result. Under the illusion of the glamorous fantasy of Neptune, it’s easy for a marriage to end in divorce because of the disillusionment of it not living up to his dreams. Nancy had her Sun on his Neptune, so was the personification of someone who would sacrifice her own personal desires to fulfill his. Another manifestation of this Neptune is his ease at deceiving others. As another Aquarian president said, you can fool some of the people some of the time…

Pluto in Gemini opposing the ASC in the 6th house has several interpretations but I think it’s his powerful transformational influence on others in the pursuit of public service. It could also be the corrupt people he had working for him during his presidency. His ASC would be Sag, as his sense of humor was legendary and his fun-loving easy-going persona belied the stress and strain of governing.

One of the classic twice-monthly aspects that occur is the Sun square to the Moon, which often leaves the mark of an identity crisis. Some would say that actors frequently have these ego dilemmas and from playing so many characters, they don’t always know who they really are. It can be said that Jupiter square to the Sun caused him to compensate with humor when he didn’t have a good enough answer to keep the question monkeys off his back.

Of his marriage to Nancy, I can say it’s a destined partnership for a few reasons. One I’ve seen several times is the Nodal polarity on the MC/IC axis. Nancy’s nodes are on Ron’s axis. His Juno is on her North Node exactly.

J. Edgar Hoover, it seems, had eyes everywhere because he was so paranoid about getting found out for his homosexuality, that he had files on everyone of any importance. What may have been the case was massive overcompensation for horrible insecurity, as his Mars in Taurus opposite Saturn in Scorpio may have given him a small penis and he was a secret cross-dresser. Moon in Pisces liked to play out fantasies and in a square to Neptune and Pluto, there was a great deal of sexual escapism and obsessive-compulsive behavior. Jupiter square the nodes and opposite Mercury and the Sun also contribute heavily to this inability to be honest about his own emotional needs. He needed to accept and understand his emotions and instead, he avoided them and projected a law and order cover-up that hurt a lot of people. Mars opposite Saturn is a big key to his personality, since it indicates confrontation with male authority figures, since he wants to be the main man at the table. This is also where spying on people’s sexual interests obsessed him and there is much more than I can go into here and now. He was never a very honest man, since the Jupiter opposition indicates a projection of those qualities and attraction to political people to serve, as it is in the 6th house. This Public Servant was a public enemy of the constitution.

Strom Thurmond lived 100 years and was in the Senate for much of that time, over forty years. He was governor of South Carolina and then became the senator with the longest term in office. But you can google him to find out facts. I will tell you the truth of his character! Hypocrisy is one of the more glaring traits in a Southern gentleman when they are racist and yet choose to sleep with colored women and have a child by them. He screwed around with the servant negress when he was a younger man. His anger and racial hatred is his Mars in Virgo square the opposition of Pluto in Gemini to Sun, Venus and Uranus in Sag. His Moon in Aquarius conjoins Jupiter, for more judgmental attitudes, but it gives an instinct for the law, which, with a sextile to Mercury and the Sun reinforces and made him a lawmaker. Mars in Virgo trine Saturn and Hygeia in Taurus gave him that long life and led him to fight on the beaches of Normandy at the advanced age for a soldier at 41. Sag is the shortest-lived sign from a statistical basis but Strom beat the stats. To a bloody pulp!

PRESCOTT BUSH

Grandfather of the president, Prescott has his Taurus Sun square the Moon in ice cold Aquarius, making for a detached, technologically oriented need to reform the world in his own image. His Mercury conjoins Pluto, like Dubya but he adds to it Neptune in Gemini as well, making for a desire for racial and religious purification, which is why he backed Hitler. With Venus/Jupiter in Cancer trine Saturn in Scorpio, he has the same aspect the progressed US chart has, which is why his business was to capitalize on international political intrigue. Neptune is in a square to the nodes, inclining him to be spiritually bankrupt and corrosive as toxic chemicals. His Sun in Taurus opposing Uranus might have inclined him to profit off of war and radical destruction of humanity, since he was disposed to providing Hitler with financing and materials for weapons and armor. Mars in Cancer was inconjunct the Moon, an indication of his dislike of intimate female relationships, although he would father some children for the purpose of continuing the breeding program. It’s somewhat of a problem, however, when the traits you pass along show severe wounds regarding higher aspirations, such as truth, wisdom and even family values. That’s right, kiddies…our leader’s granddaddy was a traitor to his country and still managed to get elected to congress. He had Venus and Jupiter in a square to Chiron, so was lost to any true sense of love and harmony, perverting the American Dream into an opportunity to benefit from the suffering of millions. Sure he made millions from and that was his rationale, I’m sure, being a Taurus. Chiron also squares the Moon, showing more emotional pain he took out on others, as he adjusted the business to profit from other foreign investments and business deals that were more black market than legitimate business. All I can offer in conclusion is that the apples didn’t fall far from the tree and therein lies the pity. Evil creates evil as good begets good. Had granddad been a nicer person, maybe the family tree wouldn’t have become so rotten.

Talk about an international man of mystery! Austin Powers meet the man who has so much power, Dr. Henry Kissinger.
Henry Kissinger is the international diplomat/spy/consultant/Right Wing investor in oil and other destructive commodities. His Sun and Mercury retrograde are in the 12th house, of deception, secrets and sorrows, victimization, hidden enemies and illusion. His Mars is on the Gemini ASC giving him a natural predisposition to war mongering, which, as a diplomat, was like adding gas to the fire. As in Fahrenheit 451, he would be the kind of fireman who throws the books on the fires, so his transactions can’t be documented or traced. But in these days of computers, that’s not quite so true. He’s a duplicitous man and always has been. Venus sextile Pluto reveals his best friends to be corrupt American politicians, even though he is a former Nazi. Maybe that’s why he’s been so involved in the Bush and Nixon administrations. Saturn conjunct Moon in the 5th is bad enough, as it’s about creating fear and control as basic instincts, but that Saturn is also square Pluto, which shows even darker energies within his plots and ambitions. Jupiter square Neptune indicates he can’t tell the truth to save his life since he has no real understanding of what truth really is. Uranus on the South Node tells me a few things about his soul. One is that he is perceived as a genius amongst a certain sector of society and the other is that he is an anti-liberationist. He is a man dedicated to the men who would rule the world with an iron fist and eliminate all the poor, the sick and the elderly who are seen as drains on the system. His Venus opposite Jupiter in Scorpio inclines him toward opportunism and advantage taking, as when a door opens, he rushes in if it would be in his best financial interest.
