Bernie Sanders (September 8, 1941)

I have a fondness for Bernie Sanders. He’s had a bit of a hard time getting his views heard by the other Democrats, but what he says makes sense, especially when discussing helping senior citizens with increased social security. He has been standing as an Independent since 2016, when the DNC went out of their way to favour Clinton for the nomination as their Presidential candidate. It was he who cited that: “We are all in this together!” (my favourite refrain.) And during Biden’s inauguration, he sat alone.

But what about the man, himself?

This chart was already on my computer program, and seems to agree with other astrology sites. However, the source of the timing is not known, so it might be wrong. He says he became interested in politics at a young age and the Moon/Mars conjunction in a 5th House Aries may be proof of that. Pluto and Chiron are within 5° of each other in Leo (near his 9th House cusp), which may indicate that he feels driven to heal something from the past. His North Node is midway between the Sun and Neptune in a 10th House Virgo, which might mean that he’s trying to get to the absolute truth of politics, but keeps coming up against nefarious forces. Saturn and Uranus are conjunct his Descendant Taurus, so it would be difficult to change his mind. There is one inconjunct.

The difficulty with this aspect is to find a balance between getting what you want in life and getting along with others. More than most people, you will have to learn the necessity of compromising to get along with people, especially because you often seem more aggressive than you are.

Learn to work for the good of others by making their objectives your objectives, whenever possible. This aspect can signify the ability to accomplish a great deal, as long as you do not spend all your time and energy feeling angry and resentful about seemingly undeserved defeats. When you have a real goal to work toward that you can share with others, you will be able to attain that goal.

Let’s allow the man to speak for himself:
