Chris Christie (September 6, 1962)

The pundits are suggesting that Chris Christie will get zero support amongst Republican voters, but that doesn’t seem to deter him. Maybe there’s something in his birth chart that can give us a clue about him.

The timing is considered ‘excellent’ on most astrology sites. Neptune in the 12th House of the Unconscious and the Moon in the 1st House of Personality may be the hint that he thinks he would be very popular in a Presidential election. But he has to get there first, through the nomination process.

There are two inconjuncts.

Moon Inconjunct Mars

Until you learn to handle your feelings, you are likely to get angry easily, have temper tantrums and be touchy about what is yours and what is not. You may feel you have to defend yourself against imagined threats. The problem here is that you are likely to become too emotionally involved with ideas, opinions or even objects without knowing it until someone threatens them. Then you react as if you were being personally threatened or attacked. You have to realize that it is possible to change your opinions and attitudes without damaging your worth as a person.

You will develop self-confidence and the ability to stand up for your rights against any obstacle. You will be courageous, and your strength will inspire others to follow where you lead. You will be independent and able to go your own way, even if others do not choose to follow.

Saturn Inconjunct Midheaven

This aspect indicates that you very much need a positive relationship with your parents, especially your father. You should not be disciplined sternly unless you are given lots of love at the same time. Otherwise, giving and receiving love from others will be a real problem for the rest of youir life. Unless you are truly supported by your family and friends, you will begin to feel lonely and isolated from others and inferior to them. Also you are likely to have very serious difficulties with authority figures, because you are afraid of how they will treat you, not expecting that anyone will ever give you the loving guidance you need. You will see all authorities only as potential threats to your freedom and as sources of pain and trouble.

These two aspects seem like trouble ahead for Christie. But you cannot ignore Pluto in the 10th House of Career, especially when it is conjunct your natal Sun. No matter what, he will be a formidable opponent.

Hmm.
