The State of the Union
On Tuesday January 19 President Clinton will deliver the
State of the Union speech during the extraordinary Senate
impeachment trial. Some Senators may not attend and
others will limit their applause. Beneath the polite surface,
many Senators are enraged.
The major astrological indicators for this intense
confrontation were described in this column two weeks
ago, but a coincident cycle expands the subtext of these
events. During the evening of the 19th Juno, the marriage
asteroid, and Chiron, the Wounded Healer, will be conjunct
in the ethical, moralistic, legal sign of Sagittarius.
Juno and Chiron are not easy going celestial partners.
When Chiron’s sense of justice is denied, uncontrollable
wrath quickly ensues. Juno is equally concerned about
balance and fairness issues, but because she brings a sense
of social awareness, any hurt feelings tend to turn inward,
creating a powerful storm of resentment just under the
surface.
The venomous combination of Juno and Chiron has been
completely overlooked in most astrological circles since
these two are not considered among the traditional planets.
Chiron was only discovered in 1977, and Juno is only one
of the four major asteroids. Yet in every horoscope cast for
the White House sex scandal, Juno and Chiron repeatedly
turn up together, instilling a political climate of rage,
bitterness, and unhealthy obsessions.
When the President speaks of the State of the Union, the
Goddess Juno hears about how well the marriage is doing.
Hillary, intent on keeping up appearances, is polite and
gracious. Congress, as the political partner of the Executive
branch, is courteous and diplomatic. Underneath, the
Goddess Juno is very, very angry.
Juno and Chiron
Juno and Chiron represent a powerful dynamic in the
United States because they are exactly opposed to each
other in the nation’s horoscope. Using the Scorpio Rising*
chart, Juno is located in the secretive 12th house and
exactly opposed by Chiron in the 6th house of health and
military service.
Historically, the activation of this axis has frequently
manifested as some homicidal maniac going on a rampage.
The most recent example of this was when transiting Mars
and Saturn passed over these two in late July 1997 and
serial killer Andrew Cunanan had just murdered the
renown designer Gianni Versace.
Recently, many sociologists have likened the nation’s
excessive violence to a public health problem. This
perspective is in complete accord with the holistic
understanding of Chiron. The link to the 12th house Juno
shows how violent rampages are correlated to feelings of
hopelessness and being a social outcast.
The Juno-Chiron axis in the U.S. horoscope also shows
how throughout American history many Presidents have
had adulterous relationships. Until now, the secretive 12th
house has kept these affairs in the closet.
Bill Clinton’s horoscope currently features his progressed
Chiron conjunct Juno. The Senate trial began precisely as
the U.S. Juno-Chiron axis was activated by major
progression (progressed Moon conjunct Chiron). With the
nearing of the year 2000 - and the expanded awareness of
the “other” as symbolized by the number 2, the Juno
archetype is emerging into collective consciousness. The
Goddess Awakens at the Millennium.
Larry Flynt, the Honest Pornographer
Pornographer Larry Flynt has been in the headlines recently
for offering $1 million for any verifiable information about
adulterers in high office. His reward system led directly to
the resignation of would-be Republican House Leader
Robert Livingston, and the besmirched reputation of
Clinton-hater Senator Robert Barr.
Larry Flynt was born a power-hungry Scorpio (November
1, 1942; 9:10 pm; Magoffin County, KY), with his love
planets Venus and Mars also in sexual Scorpio. All three of
these planets are squaring obsessive Pluto, coloring
everything he does with manipulative extremism and
pushing the limits of socially acceptable behavior.
The sharpest configuration, and therefore the central
dynamic in Flynt’s chart, is Juno squaring the Midheaven
and opposite Uranus. Juno in free-wheeling Sagittarius
tends to shy away from traditional, committed
relationships, and this is made all the more radical by the
opposition to independent, quirky Uranus. Then, Juno as
his image of woman as sexual partner mingles with fantasy
(Pisces) and career (Midheaven) to make Hustler magazine.
Flynt has had his most severe legal battles against Christian
Preacher Jerry Falwell (b. August 11, 1933). The closest
aspects between Falwell and Flynt’s horoscopes are mutual
Chiron-Juno links. They hate and wound each other over
their attitudes about women’s roles. At the moment, Flynt
is going through a Juno Return, accompanied this time by
Chiron. Flynt knows how to hurt people (Chiron) using
their hypocritical stance on marriage (Juno).
