SUMMARY

This study shows, using approximately 400 astrological charts of mostly public personalities, correlations between astrological patterns and political/ethical ideologies. The primary indicator of political/ethical ideology is the asteroid Pallas, followed by Venus and the Moon.

Pallas in aspect to the Sun, Mercury, and/or the North Node ("Apollonian" aspects) tends to increase a native's libertarian or philosophically non-aggressive tendencies. Pallas in disharmonious aspect to Jupiter, in any aspect to Pluto (or Ceres), or in a stronger aspect to the South Node than to the North Node ("Dionysian" aspects) tends to increase a native's philosophically aggressive or authoritarian tendencies. The placement of Pallas on the natal chart is a reliable indicator of the degree of government control the native considers acceptable. Aspects of Pallas to planets which rule one of these factors also affect the chart (libertarian charts, for example, can have Pallas in aspect to the ruler of the Sun rather than the Sun itself). Also, aspects to the ruler of Pallas affect the chart.

The placement of Venus also shows a correlation with ideology, with regard to wealth. Venus or the Second House ruler conjunct or trine the North Node ("Solid Venus") usually indicates especially strong free-market capitalist tendencies. Conversely, charts of persons with leftist or government-interventionist economic views tend to have Neptune or the South Node in aspect to Venus, the ruler of Venus, or the Second House ("Fluid Venus"). While "Fluid Venus" is present in nearly all the charts of leftists in this sample, it is not a reliable indicator that the native will adhere to lefist economics. Many natives with the pattern will shift to non-interventionist economics after a comparative study of economic systems (common in cases with a strong "Defensive Pallas" placement); others will adopt right-wing coloration without changing their underlying economic views in order to gain political influence.

Cultural conservatism, as differentiated from libertarian (small-government and/or anti-war) conservatism and economic (laissez-faire) conservatism, may be connected to the astrological placement of the Moon and the Fourth House. It is common for cultural conservatives to have the North Node in aspect to the Moon, the Fourth House, and/or their rulers ("Solid Moon"). Conversely, the South Node and/or Neptune in connection to the Moon or Fourth House ("Fluid Moon") may indicate a departure from socially conservative values. Cultural conservatism and cultural liberalism can coexist with any combination of Pallas and Venus factors, though cultural conservatives often politically align themselves with fiscal conservatives and cultural liberals with economic leftists. Due to the difficulty of obtaining birth times for many charts, this factor is more difficult to track than Pallas and Venus.

Libertarian -- Apollonian Pallas
Fluid Venus Solid Venus
Fluid Moon     Libertarian or Left-Libertarian     Libertarian
Solid Moon Libertarian or Left-Libertarian Libertarian


Average -- Average Pallas
Fluid Venus Solid Venus
Fluid Moon Left-Liberal/Progressive (Modern) (Paleo-) Conservative (Fiscal)
Solid Moon (Paleo-) Conservative (Cultural) (Paleo-) Conservative (Total)


Authoritarian -- Dionysian Pallas
Fluid Venus Solid Venus
Fluid Moon Communist/Socialist (Modern) Fascist (atypical)
Solid Moon Progressive (Early), Fascist, Neo-Conservative Fascist (atypical)


The "Solid Venus" and "Solid Moon" configurations are much less likely to occur than their "liquid" counterparts. So while there are more categories of conservatives than Left-wingers, this is no way reflects the size of each camp.



THE DATA

LIBERTARIANS

        Apollonian Pallas, Venus and Moon indicators variable.

This group of charts typically displays strong Pallas aspects, representing persons or entities for whom the use of force or violence against non-agressive parties is generally unacceptable. Persons with libertarian leanings who support a militarily proactive foreign policy are listed here as paleoconservatives.

Ron Paul has Pallas conjunct Sun. He is clearly the most prominent living libertarian on the planet. Virgo Mercury opposite Saturn in Pisces may represent his lifelong battle of words against the secretive authority of the Federal Reserve. Consistent with cultural conservatism, the chart has Moon trine North Node (regardless of birth time). In a pattern similar to that of many economic interventionists, Neptune is loosely conjunct Venus and conjunct Mercury, the ruler of Venus, mitigated by the Venus trine to North Node and the Mercury-Saturn opposition. A lengthy discussion on rectifying this chart begins here. I was guessing that he may have been born around 10AM, but the astrologers in the linked discussion have done more homework than me. 10am would give him Libra rising (accounting for his non-confrontational tendencies), Sun in the 11th (representative of the people), Mercury in the 12th (knowledge of hidden information), Pluto-South-Node in the 10th (pulling down or destroying authority), 7th House ruled by Mars which is conjunct Jupiter in the 2nd (constructive partnerships regarding financial issues; as well as his long-lived marriage to Carol Paul, who, in Martian fashion, initiated their relationship), North Node in the 4th (reinforcing his culturally conservative streak), and Saturn on the 6th (recurring problems with staff who do not always share his views) which also co-rules his 5th (his children and descendants working for him as campaign staff).

Aaron Russo has Pallas conjunct Sun, square Uranus and Saturn (rulers of the Sun), and quincunx Pluto. Suggesting cultural liberalism, he has Moon trine neptune and/or ruled by Mercury which is trine Neptune. Uncharacteristically for a fiscal conservative, the libertarian film-maker has Venus and Neptune quindecile and in mutual reception.

Henry David Thoreau has Pallas opposite Sun and semisquare Jupiter. "Man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can let alone." The American thinker and anarchist also has Neptune ruling the Second House and square Pluto on the cusp of that house, a pattern that is often indicative of Socialist tendencies. In his life, however, Thoreau seemed more concerned with reducing the cultural emphasis on wealth rather than spreading it around. u- vu hv hj j-

Jim Shawvan has Pallas on the MC trine Sun and widely conjunct South Node. The libertarian astrologer has both the North Node in the Fourth House (common in cultural conservatives) and Neptune in the Fourth House and Moon trine South Node (common in cultural liberals). The prominent Pallas may serve him well as an astrologer because it also suggests an ability to analyze and glean patterns from complex data, as well as strong libertarian tendencies. He also has Neptune trine Venus, possibly mitigated by Venus square Pallas.

Walt Disney has Pallas square Sun and trine North Node. Aside from his passionate opposition to Communism, he did not seem particularly political, but the Pallas signature is telling.

A long and agonizing study of comparative economic systems convinced me of the futility of government programs to assist the poor or help the economy, demolishing my central objection to libertarianism. I have the North Node trine Moon and Neptune sextile Pluto (ruler of Moon), Pisces on the Fourth House cusp, and Moon at the midpoint of Jupiter and Neptune, rulers of Pisces.

LEFT-LIBERTARIANS

        Apollonian Pallas, Fluid Venus, often Fluid Moon.

This group of charts typically displays strong Pallas aspects, representing persons or entities for whom the use of force or violence against non-agressive parties is generally unacceptable. They believe that members of society should share their material goods (usually voluntarily), and this is typically reflected in aspects to Venus and/or the Second House (or their rulers) by Neptune and/or the South Node. Surprisingly, there are as many cultural conservatives as cultural liberals in this group, as indicated by the Moon.

PALEOCONSERVATIVES

        Apollonian Pallas with weaker Dionysian Pallas traits, often Solid Venus, often Solid Moon.

This group of charts typically displays strong libertarian Pallas aspects and weaker authoritarian aspects, representing persons or entities for whom the use of force or violence against non-agressive parties is unacceptable under many conditions. They view government as necessary but ideally limited in size and scope, though they often disagree on where and how much government should be limited. Nearly all members of this group believe that physical defense should be socialized (that is, funded by involuntary taxation of the populace and controlled by a central authority). The Venus indicator for interventionist economics is often weak or absent in this group.

The director's 2012 "The Dark Knight Rises" is interwoven with conservative (and even libertarian) political themes: the villain Bane's political coup resembles left-wing movements such as the French Revolution and Occupy Wall Street, police battling leftist rebels are heroes, government besides the local police is useless, sympathetic character Selena Kyle subtly shifts from the economic left to the economic right, and private profit is underscored as the precondition for charity. The film, Nolan's most overtly political, was largely made after his second nodal return (this astrologer, with a similar node-Pallas conjunction, also experienced a political shift after a second nodal return).

PRINCIPLED PROGRESSIVES

        Apollonian Pallas with weaker Dionysian Pallas traits, Fluid Venus, often Fluid Moon.

This group of charts typically displays strong libertarian Pallas aspects combined with authoritarian aspects that are nearly as strong, and economic-interventionist Venus patterns. This is consistent with an ideology that holds that the use of violence or the threat of violence against non-aggressive parties is justifiable under some but not all conditions. For example, principled progressives hold that it is acceptable for a government to forcibly appropriate the property of any individual ("taxation") but not that of another government ("war"). They typically believe in an economic system that is highly controlled by a central authority. Unlike partisan progressives, who will side with the left wing of the power elite under all circumstances, principled progressives will criticize their own political faction when the faction strays from its stated ideology. Most members of this group also have the Moon in aspect to Neptune and/or the South Node, suggesting cultural liberalism.

RIGHT-WING PARTISANS

        Apollonian Pallas and Dionysian Pallas traits of equal strength, Solid Venus and/or Solid Moon.

This group of charts typically displays both libertarian and authoritarian Pallas aspects, representing persons or entities for whom the use of force or violence against non-agressive parties is acceptable under many conditions. They will often extoll the virtues of "limited government" but will always expand the government upon attaining power. All members of this group believe that physical defense should be socialized (that is, funded by involuntary taxation of the populace and controlled by a central authority).

Bill O'Reilly has Pallas conjunct Sun and quincunx North Node, but Pallas/Sun are ruled by Mercury which is conjunct South Node, and North Node is trine Pluto. While he generally supports the Republican wing of the powers-that-be, it is possible to locate videos in which he criticises unbridled militarism. He very likely has cultural-conservativism indicator Moon conjunct North Node.

Steven Crowder has Pallas trine Sun and Mercury, and conjunct and ruled by Pluto. The young right-wing pundit and comedian seems to spend more time defending big government (in the form of the military-industrial complex) than atacking it (Obamacare). With regard to economics, Neptune is opposite Venus and square the Nodes.

Orly Taitz has Pallas quintile Sun and square and ruled by Mercury; South Node is trine Mercury and sesquiquadrate Pallas. The "Birther" champion's record of litigation shows some disregard for the US Constitution, but, suggesting that her fiscal conservatism is sincere, she has Venus quintile North Node.

Nicolas Sarkozy has Pallas sextile Sun (co-ruled by Saturn which is square Pluto) and sesquiquadrate Uranus (also co-ruler of Sun). He was once associated with cultural conservatism, as per South Node in Cancer square Moon. Befitting his effectively leftist economic policy, he also has Neptune on the Second House cusp.

Francis Fukuyama has Pallas trine Mercury, sesquiquadrate and parallel Sun, quincunx Pluto, and co-ruled by Jupiter (which is square Pluto and parallel South Node) and Neptune (which is sextile Pluto). The academic who declared modern democracy to be the pinnacle of civilization and "end of history" was influential in the Neoconservative movement but has since distanced himself. Consistent with cultural conservatism, the chart likely has North Node conjunct Moon. He has Venus ruled by Jupiter which is square the Nodes, possibly suggesting economic psychology which could turn either way.

Sarah Palin has Pallas sextile Mercury and sesquiquadrate Jupiter. She displays libertarian leanings when not running for national office but reverted to fascist rhetoric during her recent electoral campaigns.

Barry Goldwater has Pallas square Jupiter and trine Saturn (ruler of Sun and Mercury). During his presidential campaign he adopted libertarian rhetoric but his voting record after his failed run suggests he may not have strongly believed it. He has Venus on the Second House cusp quindecile North Node but Neptune is sextile Jupiter, the ruler of his Second House, and widely quincunx Venus and the Second House cusp, reinforcing the observation that he was not a pure free-market capitalist.

[chart and commentary]

Ronald Reagan has Pallas trine South Node, which is also conjunct Pallas' ruler Jupiter. Promising drastically reduced government, his administration delivered a drastically increased government. To his credit, his use of military force was much more conservative than that of every single president since. Consistent with cultural conservatism, the chart has Moon conjunct North Node. Suggesting an astrological clue as to why fiscal conservatives labelled him Red Ronnie, Neptune is quincunx his Second House Sun and sesquiquadrate to and ruler of his Second House Venus. He did have a capitalist streak (seen in his refusal to bail out failed companies and inflate the currency) not seen in his successors: he had North Node in Taurus.

Jan Brewer has Pallas trine South Node. The Arizona governor has been something of a thorn in the side of the Obama administration. Consistent with cultural conservatism, the chart has North Node in Cancer. If this latter placement is the root of her conservatism, it is likely she was born early in the day; later on her date of birth the Moon conjoined the South Node.

LEFT-WING PARTISANS

        Apollonian Pallas and Dionysian Pallas traits of equal strength, Fluid Venus, often Fluid Moon.

This group of charts typically displays libertarian Pallas aspects combined with authoritarian aspects that are approximately as strong, and economic-interventionist Venus patterns. This is consistent with an ideology that holds that the use of violence or the threat of violence against non-aggressive parties is generally justifiable to support a social ideal. They will support the left wing of the power establishment under virtually all circumstances (sometimes with token protest), even when their political faction when the faction strays from its stated ideology. Since 2007 the (American) Democratic Party has proven to be not significantly different from the post-2000 Republican party: partisans have thus been easy to spot.

Morris Dees has Pallas conjunct the Sun and North Node which are contraparallel and biquintile Pluto. The legendary civil rights attorney's Southern Poverty Law Center has viciously attacked libertarians for what appear to be purely political purposes. His economic leftist affiliations may appear in Neptune in aspect to Saturn and Uranus, rulers of Venus. u- vu hv hj (j+)

Jack Fertig has Pallas quintile Sun, trine Pluto, and quindecile South Node. Best-known as "Sister Boom-Boom (XXX)" of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Fertig was an outrageously funny activist for the San Francisco gay community, a quietly devout Muslim in his latter years, and a fine professional astrologer who made significant contributions to the astrological community. Consistent with his far-left neo-Marxist politics (the original Marxists as per proto-eugenecist Friedrich Engels would probably have executed him for being gay and/or Muslim and thereby unfit for the Communist paradise to come), he has Moon trine Neptune, Uranus (ruler of Moon) square Neptune, and South Node in Cancer on the Ascendant and Second House ruled by the "Fluid" Moon and Saturn (ruler of Venus) sesquiquadrate South Node.

The United States of America (Sibley chart) has Pallas sesquiquadrate Sun, quincunx Mercury, and conjunct Moon (ruler of Sun and Mercury), but Uranus and Saturn (rulers of Pallas) are trine South Node. Libertarian for much of its history, the nation has experienced a long-term slide toward centralized control and bigger government. There has not been a fiscally conservative presidency since Harding/Coolidge, and the long-term movement away from cultural conservatism is unmistakable. A tendency to move Left culturally appears as South Node trine both rulers of the Moon, Neptune square Mars (ruler of the Fourth House), and Neptune quincunx Moon. Suggesting a long-term shift from laissez-faire to the economic left is South Node in the Second House quincunx Venus.

Van Jones has Pallas conjunct Mercury and quindecile North Node and South Node at the Pluto-Pallas midpoint. The former Obama administration official is not without a libertarian impulse (as per his questioning of the official narrative of the 9/11 false flag event) but in 2012 made comments equating libertarianism with racism. Perhaps evoking his openly Communist economic views, Venus is at the Pluto-Neptune midpoint.

Noam Chomsky has Pallas sextile Mercury, square Jupiter, quintile South Node, and co-ruled by Saturn which is quincunx Pluto and Uranus which is trine South Node. The Sun is conjunct Saturn (co-ruler of Pallas) and Mercury is trine Uranus (co-ruler of Pallas). His peacenik anarcho-syndicalist public persona is inconsistent with his personal fortune, military consulting work, and support for the Gulf War and murderous economic sanctions. Possibly representing the economic views he presents to the public, Venus is biquintile his ninth house Neptune.

RIGHT-WING AUTHORITARIANS

        Dionysian Pallas, often Solid Venus, often Solid Moon.

This group of charts typically displays strong anti-Pallas aspects, representing persons or entities for whom the use of violence against non-agressive parties is generally acceptable. Most notable authoritarians, including those associated with the Right, rely on the confiscation of wealth to fund their enterprises and their economic indicators will lean mostly leftward. Most "right wing" authoritarians are actually economically leftist with some concessions to capitalism, and their conservatism often tends to be cultural rather than economic. Some exceptions are noted here.

Winston Churchill has Pallas opposite Jupiter, quincunx Mercury (ruled by and opposite Pluto), and conjunct the North Node (ruled by Mars which is conjunct the South Node). A great lover of warfare and welfare statism, he admired and emulated Mussolini but went on, oddly, to become a hero to opponents of both welfare and warfare. The chart has Moon trine Neptune and North Node. Suggesting his economics, Venus is trine Neptune and the South Node is on his Second House cusp.

Mitt Romney has Pallas square Jupiter. The presidential candidate and former governor's policies are mostly indistinguishable from those of his Democratic Party opponent, and he could justifiably also be listed as a "left-wing authoritarian".

His membership in the Socialist Fabian Society, and the unstated goals of his economic theories, which have helped dramatically concentrate the world's economic power into the hands of a very small minority, might be seen in the Venus/Neptune/South-Node conjunction.

Dwight D Eisenhower has Pallas opposite Pluto, novile Sun, and sextile Mercury. His 1953 overthrow of the secular, democratically-elected leader of Iran continues to brew trouble in the Middle East to this day. Consistent with his extension of FDR's New Deal programs, he has the leftist Venus opposite Neptune.

Michael Bloomberg has Pallas opposite Pluto and trine Uranus (ruler of Sun). The New York City mayor has taken the concept of the "nanny state" to truly ridiculous levels. Suggesting cultural liberalism, he has Moon sesquiquadrate Neptune and ruled by Saturn and Uranus which are trine Neptune. Suggesting a leftist economic view, he has Venus ruled by Saturn and Uranus which are trine Neptune

Dick Cheney has Pallas trine Pluto and the South Node and quintile Sun. The former Vice-President and probable "power behind the throne" of the GW Bush administration has been a central figure in the Trotskyite-in-sheep's-clothing American neoconservative movement. Suggesting cultural liberalism, he has Moon ruled by and opposite Neptune. While Cheney's economic policy positions were not the focus of his reign, putting him in the company of other economic authoritarians is a Venus-Neptune trine.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt has Pallas trine Pluto. His "New Deal" paid farmers to destroy their crops in the midst of a famine (to boost food prices) and its Tennessee Valley Authority flooded productive farmland in the name of cheap electricity; he is thus culpable for the deaths of millions of Americans that starved during the Depression. The New Deal's massive highway projects largely created modern America's dependence on petroleum and its water projects have resulted in a severe depletion of the nation's ground water supply which will have catastrophic human and ecological ramifications through the next century. FDR's administration instituted blockades and sanctions against Japan in a successful ploy to force the Japanese into attacking Pearl Harbor, creating a justification to enter a war that would kill 400,000+ American soldiers in defense of Joseph Stalin's regime. The chart has a Venus square Neptune and trine South Node as one might expect from a strong supporter of corporatist policies disguised as Socialism.

Al Gore has Pallas trine Pluto, square Jupiter (via Moon), and conjunct Sun (ruled by Mars which is conjunct Pluto). He was largely responsible for the passage of NAFTA and is a promoter and profiteer of eco-genocide. According to the United Nations, 10 million of the world's poorest inhabitants starved to death every year that Gore's pet ethanol subsidies remained in force due to artificially high grain prices. Possibly reflecting his economic views, Venus is sesquiquadrate Neptune.

Barack Obama has Pallas ruled by Neptune (which is square Jupiter, ruled by and sextile with Pluto, and parallel South Node) and by Jupiter (which is parallel and biquintile Pluto). Promising "Hope and Change", his reign has brought a foreign policy of unbridled aggression including mass-murder of children, a complete abrogation of American civil liberties, unprecentented corporate infiltration of government (and vice-versa), and the most bloated federal budget in US history combined with Depression-level unemployment.

Abraham Lincoln has Pallas conjunct Sun: however, Sun is is quintile South Node and the rulers of the conjunction, Saturn and Uranus, both form aspects to Pluto. “My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and it is not either to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it.” While Lincoln did sign the Emancipation Proclamation, he did so reluctantly as it was the only way to gain the political traction to attack the Confederacy. He remained deeply prejudiced against blacks through his life and committed countless war crimes, including the imprisoning of journalists critical of his regime, ordering the national guard to open fire on anti-war protesters, signing off on the genocide of the American Indian, and approving an order allowing Union soldiers to rape the women of New Orleans at will.

NOTES AND RANTS

NOTES ON ASPECTS

I find it useful to employ wider orbs on most aspects than I do when reading charts for clients. Using wide orbs helps to explain probably a hundred or so cases in this study that would be difficult to explain otherwise. Here I use up to 12 degrees for a conjunction, nearly as much for an opposition, up to ten degrees for a trine or square, and three degrees for a quincunx, sextile, or sesquiquadrate. I try to stick to within two degrees for more minor aspects.

Noel Tyl's 165-degree "Quindecile" aspect also helps to explain many cases that would otherwise be puzzling. While the aspect is not in wide use by most astrologers, it has proven significant and applicable here.

THE MOON

The Moon in astrology rules the home, the land, family (and the extended family: tribe, race, nation), and culture. This sounds exactly like a list of talking points for a Republican politician in the USA. In fact, the data show a near-total correlation with the natal placement of the Moon (or the Fourth House, or the rulers thereof) relative to the Nodes -- with cultural conservatism in the political arena.

A natal chart of a politically active person with a "Solid Moon" aspect (described at the top of this page) who does not have the "Fluid Moon" aspect is virtually guaranteed to self-identify as a conservative. This placement indicates the native will identify with the political Right even if a "Fluid Venus" pattern is present. Persons in this latter category often support tariffs or trade restrictions in the name of fortifying the nation against foreign competition. Austrian economists point out that these types of policies have an identical economic effect as the high taxes supported on the Left (who also have the "Fluid Venus" pattern) and essentially act as taxes on the general population which are paid to the industries that lobby for tariffs, etc..

As to be expected, the "Solid Moon" types are highly identified with and protective of their race, land, and culture. The members of this group without a particularly strong liberarian "Apollonian Pallas" pattern can usually be tricked by politicians into supporting any sort of governmental policy cloaked in the rationale of "keeping us safe" and "protecting the homeland". These policies nearly always have the opposite effect of the stated goal: pre-emptive wars waged against non-aggressive nations in the name of national security create enemies where none existed before; police-state measures enacted in the name of domestic security merely allow thugs in uniform to run roughshod over the populace. All such measures drain a nation's treasury and contribute in a real way to the nation's decline. The Moon, while a necessary component in any healthy psyche, is not known for behaving logically.

The "Fluid Moon" aspects, involving the Moon with Neptune or the South Node, conversely indicate cultural liberalism. These natives will often subconsciously favor foreign cultures and nations over their own, and act to break down cultural norms and boundaries in their own land. They are considerably more tolerant of elements foreign to the culture in which they reside and show a great deal of "open-mindedness" to anything other than the dominant culture itself.

PALLAS

Some astrological writing refers to Pallas as the "protector of civilization", with little or no elaboration. This may be because Pallas rules the ability to refrain from aggression. Non-aggression is the enabler of trust: persons who cannot refrain from aggression cannot be trusted by anyone unable to fully control them. Trust is the basis for agreements. Agreements comprise civilization.

Pallas is one of several planetary archetypes which indicate modes of combining energies. Venus attracts and forms associations but does not adhere without outside help. Saturn binds and ties together, often by force. Neptune merges and eliminates all trace of the identities of those he joins. Pluto annihilates and transforms through power. Pallas is the weaver: she combines threads together to form a pattern larger than the individual threads, yet without causing any single thread to be anything less than it was before. Pallas does no damage, weaving and un-weaving threads while leaving them inviolate.

The natal placement of Pallas indicates the native's preferred system of social organization, ranging from the Market (where all activity is consensual and no transactions occur without the consent of all involved parties) to the Gulag (where no activity occurs without the consent of the central authority), and all states in between (governments with limited powers). The Market is inherently capitalist, recognizing the right of all human actors to lay claim to physical resources beginning with their own bodies and extending to non-human resources not already claimed. This may be why Neptune-Venus has a much-reduced effect on natives with a strongly "Apollonian Pallas" or libertarian natal pattern. It also suggests a metaphysical resonance between Pallas and Venus, perhaps the opposite of the resonance between Neptune and Venus.

In the Palladian weaving of the Market, all voices are heard and none are forcibly silenced. This weaving, while enriching all of its participants, enriches most those who participate the best, who give in trade to their fellow participants whatever it is they most value. Those who do not or can not participate lose nothing, and often gain from the generosity of market participants who are inclined to give freely. The market thus provides for the helpless, but discourages the freeloader because there is no structure which forces the productive market participant to feed him.

The Market is not only the structure of social interaction in human society which Pallas promotes, but also the process of deduction in the individual Palladian mind. The Palladian mind allows all ideas and information to participate regardless of her personal feelings and biases. She rewards with weight the ideas and information which weave best with the other participants in the market of the mind. The ideas which cannot enrich or support the other players in the mental market recede in importance and leave the market, perhaps to return later if the market changes. The Palladian mind thus makes her assessments using the cold inner capitalism of the logical process. She is unswayed by passion or outside pressure and so reaches conclusions which are powerfully logical but often do not make sense to minds driven by emotion or social convention.

The Palladian mind is the essence of humility. She recognizes that neither she nor anyone else can have all the answers for everyone and so supports logical and social processes that take this into account. The authoritarian mind is the opposite: it blindly assumes its own superiority over all other minds. This blindness is the authoritarian's undoing.

The extended monologues by Francisco D'Anconia and John Galt in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged are excellent examples of the Palladian mindset, here set in constrast to the energies of the collectivist Neptune.

PALLAS AND GUN CONTROL

Pallas, as warrior-goddess, is associated with weaponry. As noted elsewhere on this site, Pallas with the Moon is key to the chart of the martial artist, who has turned the human body into a weapon. My current theory regarding persons who have an aversion to guns (and often desire to ban them) is that the Pallas placement of these persons indicates this attitude. More research is warranted, but the formula for an anti-gun personality may be a non-libertarian mindset (the presence of significant "Dionysian Pallas" aspects) and Pallas and/or her sign ruler in aspect to Saturn.

Persons on this page fitting the pattern: Michael Bloomberg, (Rahm Emanuel), Dianne Feinstein, Dennis Kucinich, Rupert Murdoch, Ralph Nader, Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer.

Alternately or in addition, Neptune (as the glorifier of victimization and helplessness) may also be involved with this viewpoint.

NEPTUNE AND THE POLITICAL LEFT

Article here.

NEPTUNE AND THE SOCIO-POLITICAL CYCLE

Neptune's power to dissolve forms in politics is apparent when comparing the sign ingresses of Neptune to the generational periodic "Turnings" of Strauss-Howe generational theory. The theory aptly describes modern Western history in the past five centuries in terms of a "Saeculum" or a recurring series of events lasting roughly 90 years. This period, approximately the length of a full human lifetime, is also half of the orbital period of Neptune. Each Saeculum starts with a "High" or period of economic and civic growth, and ends with a "Crisis", marked by economic destruction and wars.

Virtually all of the "Crisis" periods described by the theory correspond to the periods that Neptune occupied the tropical signs of Pisces or its opposing Virgo. Fittingly, these signs are the last in their respective halves of the zodiac. The "Crisis" periods that do not fit the pattern see Pluto in Virgo/Pisces. (Another astrologer has theorized that these periods correspond to times when Pluto, Uranus, and Saturn form angular aspects together -- I cannot locate the article but recall that the astrologer resided in Texas and made a strong case.)

1461-1482: Crisis: War of the Roses -- Pluto in Virgo and Neptune in Scorpio 1466-1479
1566-1587: Crisis: Armada Crisis -- Pluto in Pisces followed by Uranus 1552-1591
1674-1700: Crisis: King Philip's War -- Neptune: Pisces 1684-1696
1767-1791: Crisis: American Revolution -- Neptune: Virgo 1766-1779
1843-1859: Crisis: American Civil War -- Neptune: Pisces 1847-1860
1925-1945: Crisis: Great Depression/World War II -- Neptune: Virgo 1930-1943
2005- Crisis: Global Financial Crisis -- Neptune: Pisces 2011-2024


While Mao's genocidal Great Leap Forward occurred under a Pluto ingress into Virgo, it has generally been Neptune, lord of the political Left (and not Pluto, the nominal lord of death), which has ruled over humanity's periodic purges of the weak and the unlucky.

THE CONSERVATIVE ALLIANCE

Based on this astrological theory, the mainstream political Right may be a more diverse group than the mainstream Left. Where on the Left, virtually the entire sample possess the "Fluid Venus" pattern (with a significant subset also possessing the "Fluid Moon" pattern), it is possible to divide the Right into four overlapping camps.

The "Solid Venus" camp seem to consist of persons who are fiscal conservatives but who may be culturally liberal or conservative. Margaret Thatcher, for example, was a socially liberal fiscal conservative.

The "Solid Moon" camp is full of cultural conservatives with a deep desire to defend what they perceive as being their national heritage, who may or may not be fiscally conservative. Ronald Reagan was culturally conservative but his massive expansion of the federal government was anything but fiscally conservative.

The third camp is not particularly liberal or conservative on culture or economics, and aligns with the other conservatives by default. Clint Eastwood may belong to this camp.

The fourth camp are left-wing infiltrators; there are many of these in politics. It seems far easier to find closet left-wingers among conservative leaders than it is to find right-wingers posing as liberal leaders. This is another indicator of Neptune's rulership of the Left: true conservatives may lack the guile to pose as anything other than what they are. This is a large camp, of which I consider Mitt Romney, John McCain, and the entire Neo-Conservative movement members.

Overall, the Right may be not so much an ideological camp as an informal alliance of factions aligning against the Left. My suspicion is that what we know as the Right might disperse and lose interest in politics altogether if they didn't feel threatened by the incursions of Neptunianism.

As on the Left, a strong libertarian "Apollonian Pallas" can obviate the planetary placements associated with the Right. Pallas has a strong tendency towards market capitalism as per the "Solid Venus" crowd, and she can curb the desire of the "Solid Moon" faction to forcibly impose their cultural values on others.

URANUS

Many astrologers attribute political conservatism and the US Republican Party with Uranus. Studies reportedly exist showing that Republican figures are disproportionately Sun-sign Aquarians. There may well be such a correlation, but this study shows that Venus, Moon, and Pallas aspects are usually sufficient indicators of cultural and economic conservatism.

Dale O'Brien's historical research on Uranus uncovers some fascinating parallels between Uranus ingresses and crimes committed by political elites. In my own work, there is a statistically significant correspondence of an exaggerated Uranus with authoritarian activity (for example, the last three US Presidents as of 2012 all have Uranus conjunct North Node). I attribute this Uranus connection not to a desire to harm or control others, but to an impulse to act without regard for the consequences. If this is the case, this tendency would naturally be more visible in persons who (due to the placement of Pallas) have little reservation with harming others to achieve an end. At some point I hope to explore this connection more fully.

The brilliant (and left-wing) astrological historian Richard Tarnas has made an opposite assertion: that Uranus is the planetary representative of the Progressive Left and that Saturn represents a repressive Right. This idea is not without intuitive sense, but does not appear to fit the data. Saturn appears to be prominent in the charts of persons across the entire poltical spectrum (perhaps in himself indicating an interest in politics or the -Saturnine- structure of society). I have not yet found a correlation with Uranus other than in making authoritarian personalities more dangerous. It is possible that we are both correct and that Uranus may apply to the political Left in mundane astrology where Neptune applies in natal astrology.

ASTROLOGY HAS A LIBERTARIAN BIAS

This theory and the volume of data behind it support a libertarian world view in several ways.

First, they indicate that political ideology (at least in politically active individuals) is primary based on inborn tendencies and not on education. This is one of many reasons why humans will always disagree on political and economic ideology and that any attempt to force a single vision on a population of significant size will always meet with overt or covert opposition. The more centrally-controlled a system is, the more rapidly it collapses, for both these reasons and due to economic problems (as demonstrated by Ludwig von Mises). The best hope for the stability of any political system is to allow for as many persons as possible to live and self-organize according to their inborn tendencies. This is inherently a libertarian principle.

Second, the data show that astrology classifies politically active individuals into categories corresponding with a libertarian world view. For example, a left-wing world view might classify FDR and Noam Chomsky as "left-wing" and Ron Paul, William Kristol, Ronald Reagan, and Adolf Hitler as "right-wing". A right-wing world view might classify Ron Paul, FDR, Adolf Hitler, and Noam Chomsky as "left-wing", and William Kristol and Ronald Reagan as "right-wing". A libertarian scholar, however, might classify Ron Paul as a "libertarian", Noam Chomsky as "left-libertarian", FDR, Reagan, and Hitler as "left-authoritarian", and Kristol as "right-authoritarian". The astrological data support the lesser-known libertarian classification system. This work is organized in a similar system.

This helps to explain that while many astrologers are actively political and believe that astrology can accurately describe the human psyche, apparently none have prior to this point published a reliable astrological method for determining political tendencies. Because, as Rudyhar notes, astrology is actually ruled by Neptune, most astrologers lean strongly to the political Left. Their tendency, thus, to adhere to a leftist system of political classification leaves them without the proper intellectual framework with which to assess astrological data pertaining to political ideology. Neptune's penchant for selective blindness and self-deception probably also come into play. As a result of this natural bias, astrology has been heretofore unable (or unwilling) to fully apply to political ideology, despite the tools having been available for over two centuries (Pallas was discovered in 1802). This may also mean, sadly, that an accurate astrological system for classifying political views may never be embraced fully by the astrological community.

Third, the data strongly support a non-mainstream, libertarian, interpretation of history. In an America where the population has learned its history through government-controlled schools (largely designed by the Rockefellers and their ilk -- please see the work of John Taylor Gatto and Charlotte Iserbyt), most Americans have learned a version of history designed to flatter the political puppets of the power elite. For example, FDR, Abraham Lincoln, and even Che Guevara are practically gods: criticism of them is blasphemous in most circles. The strict libertarian reading of history, well-supported by documentation which academia sheepishly kicks under the table, shows all three men and many other modern deities to be unrepentant mass-murderers with little or no respect for human life. Astrology vindicates the libertarian interpretation of history with regard to such individuals.

Fourth, this study all but proves the assertion by libertarian intellectuals (not to be confused with conservatives labelling themselves as libertarians) that their philosophy is the natural extension of non-violence. It undermines the claim on the Left that libertarians are driven primarily by a lack of empathy and the claim on the Right that libertarians are merely another type of leftist. The astrology suggests that libertarianism is driven primarily (or totally) by respect for human rights and the refusal to initiate or participate in aggression.

The data show clearly that Pallas is an integral factor in ideological traits that both the Left and the Right hold dear. On the Left, Pallas is what differentiates true progressive champions of peace and tolerance from mass-murderers posing as friends of humanity. On the Right, Pallas is what separates true advocates of limited government, economic freedom, and the right to self-defense from "Republicans in Name Only" who increase the crushing power of the state while mouthing conservative platitudes. The "inner libertarian" as indicated by Pallas is indispensable to every human being who believes in a civilization ruled by anything other than the dominance of the strong over the weak. The Palladian-libertarian impulse is the basis, both in life and in the astrological chart, for every victory of reason over violence. The data show that libertarians are persons for whom Pallas is a central driving force on the natal chart rather than a sideshow.

Fifth, Pallas is the goddess of wisdom, skill, and intelligent strategy; few astrologers will interpret her in a conflicting light. This project shows that Pallas is unabashedly libertarian. The resounding message from the astrological universe, for those able to hear it: wisdom is peace and respect for the rights of others. A philosophy of freedom, based on non-aggression, is the natural manifestation of logic. Libertarianism is an integral expression of wisdom herself.

PALLAS THE NOVEL

Unbeknownst to me when I arrived at the "Libertarian Pallas" premise in 2011, libertarian science fiction author L Neil Smith had published his novel "Pallas" three decades previous. An extended libertarian screed in narrative form, "Pallas" is a miniature epic meditation on freedom versus tyranny, the role of weapons and violence in oppression and defense against oppression, emnity and revenge, and, eventually, wisdom. This reflects with startling clarity my view on the astrological function of Pallas as the prime arbiter on the natal chart of the ideological considerations surrounding the use of force, and on libertarian-to-authoritarian ideology. To my knowledge, Smith is not an astrologer and this is one of those serendipitous "coincidences" that astrologers are fond of pointing out with regard to astrological bodies.

PALLAS AND THE FUTURE

Libertarianism, thanks to the Internet, is enjoying a massive and under-reported resurgence in modern society. This in conjunction with the appearance of L Neil Smith's novel "Pallas" and my own recent discoveries on Pallas' astrological function seem to suggest that the astrological power of Pallas herself is increasing. Perhaps this coincides with the observation (by Don Cerow and other astrologers) that the age of Aquarius is technically starting now according to the constellations, accompanied by a reduction in the power of Neptune as the age of Pisces comes to a close. Whether this is the case may become more evident when Neptune leaves Pisces in 2025. Neptune and Pallas can certainly co-exist but Neptune doesn't like Pallas in the political arena; he finds it easier to get his way (economic and cultural dissolution, etc.) under the dictatorial systems that Pallas opposes.

My research into this topic is ongoing. This page continues to grow and change with the addition of new information and the formation of new conclusions. I welcome debate and dissent, and will happily link to any web sites proffering alternate views on the astrology of political ideology. Write to me at "alan" + "@" + "zot.net".

ASSORTED DATA AS OF JULY 2012

Saturn-Venus contacts are more common on the Left than in other groups.
Saturn-Jupiter contacts are somewhat LESS common on the Right than in other groups.
Jupiter in Sagittarius or amplified by the North Node is MORE common in the ideogically nebulous than in other groups.
        Jupiter, thus, may not indicate a consistent ideological position so much as a tendency to loudly proclaim the ideology of the moment.
Jupiter to South Node contacts are somewhat less common on the Left than in other groups.
Uranus-Venus contacts are more common on the Left than in other groups.
Uranus to North Node contacts are more common in the hard authoritarian group (and to a lesser degree the Leftists) than in others.
None of these influences is anywhere near as strong as those described in the bulk of this site: Pallas, Venus, the Moon, the Nodes, and Neptune.
