Astrology’s Minority Report: Fact-checking AQUARIUS Clichés
(Or,
If THIS is the“Dawning of the Age of Aquarius”, then Heaven Help Us!)
by Dale O’Brien
I will always appreciate an AMERICAN ASTROLOGY magazine article from the 1970’s. (My study of astrology began in the late 1960s.) It was a research report analyzing the Sun Signs of the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives. Sun Sign Libra showed up most often for “middle-of-the road” moderates (no surprise). Sun in Pisces were the most Liberal, as well as Sun in Aries. The later then were particularly in favor of individual civil liberties (think ACLU). However, the even then clichéd stereotype of “progressive”/Peace and Love Aquarius did NOT bear out at all. In fact, THE most right wing arch- conservatives were overwhelmingly “Aquarians.”
It is said that often that the more things change the more things remain the same.
To wit, except anti-populist McKinley, nothing-special John Quincy Adams, Lincoln and FDR (more on the later two later), the only truly famous Sun in Aquarius modern American politicians were/are predominantly typical modern Republicans, as were/are their most famous fans and inspirational personalities. The only stellar exception to this pattern now is self-described progressive (and openly lesbian) Wisconsin Democrat, Tammy Baldwin.
In extreme contrast to Ms. Baldwin, we have:
- Ronald Reagan (“trickle-down” theory of economics; “Star Wars” “defense”)
- Dick Chaney (“water-boarding” = pouring water onto a prisoner’s face)
- Dan Quayle
- Ayn Rand
- Paul Ryan (determined to destroy Sun Aquarian FDR’s “New Deal”)
- Sara Palin
- Jeb Bush (This FIXED Sun Sign “fixed” the Florida vote for his brother, “W”)
- Alex Jones (see Aquarian Rothschild and Aquarian Illuminati initiator, below.
- current Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts
- Arlen (“single-bullet-theory”) Spector ~ [by contrast, see Hale Boggs, below]
- “cowboy” Roy Moore (of Alabama, best known for mall-stalking of teenage girls)
- Mike Hubbard (corrupt major Alabama politician)
- Robert Bentley (disgraced Alabama Governor, 2011-2017)
- Kevin McCarthy (California) (House of Reps. Majority leader, 2014-present)
- Andrew Breitbart
- Glenn Beck
- Elliott Abrahams (Reagan’s Asst. Sec. of State: part of arms to Contras scandal)
- James Watt (Secretary of the Interior under Reagan: environmental exploitation)
- John Warner (former Gov. of Virginia) (not to be confused with Mark Warner)
- George Shiras, Jr. (Supreme Court judge: “separate but equal”--- but not really)
- Supreme Court Chief Justice Melville Fuller [“separate but equal” (sic)]
- Scott McClelland (W’s White House Press Secretary)
- James R. Schlesinger (nuclear plants and nuclear weapons advocate; no amnesty)
- Frank Miller (alt-right creator of Batman as torturer)
- Sonny Bono
- Michael Bloomberg
- Oral Roberts
- D.W. Griffith (film: Birth of a Nation --- featuring the KKK as “good guys”)
- Cotton Mather
- Sara Brady (wife of Jim Brady, who was shot dead when Reagan was shot)
- A female Fox “News” personality (although many others like her aren’t Sun Aqu)
- 20+ other American conserv. /Repub. (including one member of Skull & Bones)
- John D. Rockefeller, Jr. (father of Republican V.P. Nelson Rockefeller)
Similarly:
- Stonewall Jackson; 20 other Confederate generals; a Confederate Governor; the Vice President of the Confederacy; the most “famous” plantation owner of Louisiana
Overseas, we find Sun in Aquarius represented by, among others:
- Matt Riddley (UK): Libertarian; pro-fracking; pro Brexit; pro-global warming_
- More than 20 British Tory or Conservative politicians
- a variety of dictators, worldwide
- Eva Braun
- Female Nazi head concentration camp prison guard
- Boris Yeltsin
- Carlos Slim (one of the richest men in the world)
- a populist-turned-communist dictator
A CONSERVATIVE defines the essence of CONSERVATIVISM:
“Whatever happens will be for the worse, and therefore it is in our interest that as little should happen as possible.” --- Robert Goscoyne-Cecil (born 2/3/1830)
