Joseph McCarthy (November 14, 1908 – May 2, 1957)

When I asked myself the question, “Who does Alex Jones remind you of?” I immediately thought of Joseph McCarthy. Not because of his loud voice, or his dramatic performances, but because of his belief that Communists were hiding in plain sight in America. And he felt it was his job to root them out.

This birth time is considered excellent because it’s based on birth records. (That makes a change, eh?) Aries Rising and Mars (in Libra) conjunct the Descendant makes for an interesting dynamic. There’s a Cosmic Cross, too, involving (strictly speaking) Venus, Uranus, the Ascendant and Neptune. Hmm.

Moon Inconjunct Ascendant

You tend to put your own emotional needs and wants second to whatever you feel has to be done. In other words, you are likely to be more disciplined emotionally than most people. But this is not good if you feel that your emotional needs are not important. Your needs must be fulfilled as much as anyone else’s, particularly because your feelings are really very powerful within yourself.

Mercury Inconjunct Saturn

This aspect can have several different meanings. First of all, you may have hidden fears that are difficult to express, but they cause you to do things that others can’t understand. These may include fear of the dark or of certain places or people. Or this aspect can mean that you often feel depressed and sad for no apparent reason. You tend to see the serious side of life, and it weighs on you more than on most people.

It is possible that your thinking will become unnaturally rigid for someone of your age. You may get into routines or habits that you are afraid to break, for you prefer familiar paths of life and known ways of doing things.

(This may be what carried over into his next life, for sure.)

I have reduced the number of times that I have made karmic connections between people over time. But in this case, I think it’s justified, because the Nodes are aligned but reversed, a clear indication of reincarnation. And Joe’s ‘fatal’ Sun being exactly conjunct Alex’s Ascendant may be a coincidence (or not). The other links are interesting and widely arrayed. I definitely think we are on solid ground.

Maybe this picture will bring the issue into clear focus:

He seems pleased with the publicity, even though it is making him out to be a traitor of some sort. Hmm
