Taking a look, astrologically, at another member of Donald Trump's picks for "high office" in his administration (see also my post for Tues. 15 November on Stephen Bannon).
Jefferson Beauregard "Jeff" Sessions III, junior United States Senator from Alabama. First elected in 1996, Sessions is a member of the Republican Party. The President Elect, Donald Trump has nominated Senator Sessions to be Attorney General, succeeding Loretta Lynch.
Senator Sessions had been a loyal supporter and endorser of Donald Trump from early in the presidential campaign. Here, I am going to attempt to remain strictly neutral, politically, in order to look at the chart without prejudice.
Born on 24 December 1946 in Selma, Alabama. Time of birth not known, chart set for 12 noon.
Though exact position of Moon can't be known without Sessions' time of birth, Moon would have been in Capricorn, either a little earlier or later than the 12 noon position shown. Sun, Moon and Mars in Capricorn - I'm not a bit surprised to find the Senator a Republican! Sun and Mars conjoined, and it's not surprising either to find him to be a rather energetic supporter of ideas and ideals he holds dear. Venus and Jupiter conjunct in Scorpio - here's another Scorpionic strand - there was one in Stephen Bannon's chart too. I'm a little surprised that Trump is leaning Scorpio-ward for "his people", because really, he's not at all Scorpionic himself - not to my eye anyway. Perhaps he appreciates in others what isn't too obvious in his own nature - emotional intensity and fixity.
Sessions has Uranus in Gemini opposing his natal Sagittarius Mercury, with a Pluto/Saturn conjunction in trine to Mercury, from Leo. Hmmm. My translation of that little lot: Mercury being this guy's manner and style of communication, though he may appear genial, even at times looking a tad quirky, in reality he's determined and unwavering in his views.
A quick look at Donald Trump's chart for comparison:
There's not as much compatibility here as between Trump and Bannon. Sessions' Sagittarius Mercury is just a few degrees from Trump's natal Sagittarius Moon - that's going to be helpful.
Interesting sidelight: Donald Trump and Jeff Sessions were both born in 1946, as were former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush - was there something in the air that year? Born a year or so after World War 2 ended, these were among first of "the Boomer" generation. Pluto by then was well into Leo, Uranus in Gemini, Neptune in Libra, with Saturn moving from late Cancer into Leo by early August. Trump and Bush missed Saturn (the law) in Leo (a ruler) by a few degrees, otherwise that'd have been a nicely appropriate link. Three presidents of the USA all born in the same year - there surely ought to be an astrological link/key. Maybe the link is to the USA chart? Only clear link I can see is that Uranus was in Gemini in 1776 and in 1946. Each individual has their own links to the USA chart, no doubt, but as a group born 1946, not very clearly.
