Forum Articleback Charles Rangel - Gemini with Earth Grand Trine
Author: Marjorie. Date: 31 Jul 2010
I confess I'd never heard of Charles Rangel who is one of the more important Democrat Congressmen who is now up on violations of House rules, from filing incorrect tax returns to improperly using a rent-controlled apartment as a campaign office. The Independent writes: 'Barring a compromise between his lawyers and the committee, he is likely to go before his peers for judgment in September - the first such ethics trial of a sitting Congressman since 1992. Mr Rangel himself now faces the prospect of an ignominious end to an illustrious 40-year career in Washington politics. It is, depending on your point of view, the sad downfall of a loveable rogue - or comeuppance for a Congressional baron with an outsized sense of entitlement, who had long lost touch with the voters he was supposed to serve.' Born on 11 June 1930 he came out of a tough background with an abusive and largely absent father, but overcame his problems to serve with valour in Korea, got a law degree and prospered. He has the 1930 astrological signature of hardship, deprivation and tumultuous times with Saturn in Capricorn opposing Pluto in Cancer square Uranus in Aries. He's also a Sun Jupiter in Gemini so is lucky, enthusiastic, communicative and keen to spread his net as widely as possible. He also has a materialistic Earth Grand Trine of Saturn in Capricorn trine Mars NNode in Taurus trine Neptune giving him an aptitude for money and solid achievement. That Grand Trine is being elbowed by tr Pluto, now off the trine to Neptune but heading for the frustratingly trapped trine to Mars in 11/12 with tr Saturn aiming to square Saturn this Oct - with much worse to follow come 12/123 as tr Pluto is conjunct Saturn and tr Uranus squares it. The tr Saturn opp tr Uranus has also been squaring his Jupiter this year, dampening his optimism. Though tr Uranus has another square come Nov/Dec this year which might just cut him some kind of deal. It's certainly not what the Democrats need heading in for potentially damaging Nov elections. hide Marjorie's posts
