Mitt Romney (March 12, 1947)

I am usually circumspect when it comes to calling out politicians (in any country) for their disingenuous comments about events outside their purview. In this case, I couldn’t help but wonder why Romney has been quoted as saying that Melvin Bragg‘s prosecution of Trump was a ‘political decision’ which amounts to ‘malpractice’. Really? Only a year or so ago, political pundits were calling Bragg’s ‘risk adverse’ inaction ‘treason’. Can’t win if you do, can’t win if you don’t.

So, I decided to look at Mitt Romney’s birth chart to see why he would say such a thing.

Oh-oh. An almost exact Moon/Jupiter conjunction (in Scorpio) in opposition to his Gemini Ascendant will do that. And an inconjunct linking Mercury and Pluto will do that, too.

On the negative side, however, you might misuse this ability [to understand how people’s minds work] by trying to control people’s thoughts and words. Also you may love mysteries so much that you get involved in complicated plots and arrangements with your friends. You may enjoy working in secret and creating an air of mystery about yourself, but this could backfire and make others misunderstand you or even fear what you are doing. It is important to show people that you are honest and that you are not hiding anything. Otherwise they will probably suspect you, even if you are totally innocent. And if you aren’t, they will know it for certain.

I also have this aspect, so my finger pointing is reflecting back on myself threefold.

So, what can I say?

Amen to that.
