Leon Panetta previously director of the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), in charge of the mission earlier this summer to kill Osama bin Laden, now has the top civilian job at the Pentagon: Secretary of Defense.
Speaking at his first Pentagon news conference, Panetta called on Congress to raise tax revenue and cut mandatory spending programs, which include Medicare and Social Security, rather than slash defense more than the roughly $400 billion required over the next decade under the debt-reduction bill signed last week by President Obama.

What kind of man, I wondered, would see the sick, needy and poor fall by the wayside so as to allow tons of money continue to be shovelled into the budget which enables US troops to go kill brown people in far off lands?
Leon Panetta was born on 28 June 1938 in Monterey, California. A 12 noon chart is shown in the absence of information on his time of birth.
Well, well, well.... this could be another instance of "too much of a good thing"!
Sun, Moon and cluster of planets in Cancer. Cancer, ruled by the Moon, known to astrologers as the nurturing, motherly sign; soft, sentimental, intuitive, withdrawn shy...etc.etc. Perhaps, as with salt and sugar, a little Cancer goes a long way, too much is not a good thing.
I've noticed this phenomenon before, in charts where there's a big cluster of planets in the same sign as the Sun. Somehow the essence of the sign, as usually understood, morphs into something else entirely with the sign overloaded.
Perhaps, in his private life his Cancerian attributes shine through - we cannot know this.
Jupiter in gentle Pisces trines his Cancer Sun, which only adds to my puzzlement about this guy.
Saturn in Aries trines his Leo Venus, here's a slightly harder Fiery edge, but still scarcely enough to outweigh that cluster in Cancer.
Perhaps Panetta's rising sign would clarify a lot, but without a time of birth that remains a mystery.
Any thoughts from a passing reader?
