Here&#8217;s today&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-01-22\/democrats-seek-stronger-pledge-before-noon-vote-shutdown-update\">Bloomberg update on the shutdown<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Stephen Miller August 23, 1985 4:53 pm PDT Santa Monica, California (RR: AA).<\/b> Hour of the Moon (fluctuations, changes); Moon out-of-bounds (faulty or distressing relationship with Mother); <b>Moon conjunct Uranus<\/b> (intuitive, seeks emotional excitement, erratic mood changes, extreme emotions, often cranky and irritable). Tellingly, <b>Sun in Virgo<\/b> (@00:46 in 8th house of the Occult&#8211;other metaphysical and occult factors are shown elsewhere, see his PE, below) indicates a mother-ruled child. <b>Sun sextile Pluto<\/b> (shared with Trump) denotes those whose deep desire is to control the world, are self-reliant, and base their lives on <i>winning vs losing<\/i> (see his <b>Pluto conjunct M<\/b>C, below)<\/p>\n<p>His <b>Earth-Fire<\/b> personality blend is known as a &#8216;bull-dozer&#8217; who may push his moral certitude upon others. Dictatorial and insensitive to other people, Mr. Miller values rationality over human suffering while shoving through his preferred political policies (<i>Sun Sign-Moon<\/i>, Charles and Suzi Harvey).<\/p>\n<p>A bright note is a <b>first-house Jupiter Rx in Aquarius (9:36)<\/b> denoting social concerns, a broad intellect, and a knowledge of human nature. Yet the placement also adds self-will and a potential for indecisiveness (Ebertin). <\/p>\n<p><b>A Caution from Royal Regulus<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Also in Mr. Miller&#8217;s natal chart, we find <b>Moon in Sagittarius<\/b> (11:14), sign of immigration and foreigners so one may be tempted to think his interest and hard line views are emotionally based. <b>Sun @00Vir46<\/b> conjoins royal star <b>Regulus<\/b>&#8211;and the <b>natal Ascendant of Donald Trump<\/b>&#8211;both of which were &#8216;eclipsed&#8217; on August 21, 2017 by The Great American Eclipse. As you know, <b>Regulus<\/b> is the &#8216;kingmaker&#8217; star and when conjoining a natal planet can denote an individual with a &#8216;king complex&#8217;. Now you and I both know that Mr. Trump is the epitome of this narcissistic, me-first psychological complex and apparently Mr. Miller is a victim of it as well. His <b>Mercury in proud, royal Leo<\/b> adds to his thinking on the topic of &#8216;rulership&#8217; and the right to attain and wield it. So these days, it seems <i>the divine right of kings<\/i> is alive in the White House! However, <b>Regulus<\/b> always contains an important cosmic caution: <i>success if revenge is avoided<\/i>. Otherwise, gains will be taken away.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the planet of dreams, visions, and ideals&#8211;<b>Neptune<\/b>&#8211;conjoins one of the Cardinal World Points of fame, fortune, and recognition on the world stage (00Cap56 Rx) in the 12th house of&#8230;Politics and Karma. As you know, Saturn-ruled Capricorn is the sign of government, law, and business. In support, his<b> Mercury-Mars conjunction<\/b> in brash Leo suggests strong political opinions and a tendency to quarrel over them, perhaps in a self-interested fashion (Leo).<\/p>\n<p>Now with <b>Saturn-ruled Capricorn rising<\/b>, Stephen Miller may have had a hard road during his early years and even now seems older than his mere 32 years would suggest. A Saturnine expression seems always on his face&#8211;perhaps because a Capricorn Ascendant suggests discipline, austerity, plans formulated secretly, and a reserved demeanor (frowny!) Everything Mr. Miller does must have a definite purpose and serve a pragmatic end. In short, if you&#8217;re looking for fun, a barrel of monkeys Stephen Miller is not. And note that the <b>Virgo-Pisces victim-savior axis<\/b> is intercepted in his natal chart suggesting a cosmic imperative to deal with such issues during his life time. this relates to a Mercury-Jupiter opposition which squares his Nodal axis (public contacts) and indicates one who is indiscreet (similar to Mr. Trump with his Mercury-Neptune square), holds illogical beliefs, feels intellectually superior, tends to over-promise (like Trump), and <i>becomes flustered when under scrutiny for his memory fails him under stress<\/i>. We saw this recently in one of his TV appearances with Jake Tapper. Here&#8217;s Seth Myers speaking with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8KfxGwZo-kM\"> Mr. Tapper<\/a>, who&#8217;s known Stephen Miller for years, discussing Miller and the cut-short interview.<\/p>\n<p><b>Chart-ruler Saturn<\/b> in 10th house (@22Sco08) makes no applying aspects in the chart though there is an applying <b>Mars-Saturn square<\/b> (see the aspect, below). Natal <b>Saturn in Scorpio<\/b> adds to his Saturnine demeanor a serious attitude, obstinacy, and a tendency to probe deeply into metaphysical subjects and to apply such principles in a practical manner.<\/p>\n<p><b>Venus and Pluto<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most prominent chart factor in his chart is, of course, <b>Pluto @2Sco26 conjunct MC,<\/b> the Goal-Aspiration Point. This supports his <b>Sun-Pluto sextile<\/b> &#8216;control&#8217; implications and also his metaphysical and occult interests (like Hitler!) Actually, the shape of his natal planets show <b>Venus @25Can05 as leader of a Locomotive pattern<\/b> of <i>high-powered success<\/i>, a pattern which may ride roughshod over others in order to achieve its goals. His 7th house <b>Venus has only a separating trine with authoritarian Saturn<\/b> (in 10th house = a <i>fall from grace<\/i>? plus, <b>Saturn-Pluto = SN<\/b> in 10th house) so a sense of loyalty may be evident along with a reserved, even cold, demeanor. At 25Cancer, <i>Miller&#8217;s Venus precisely conjoins Mr. Trump&#8217;s Venus in Cancer with Trump&#8217;s Saturn nearby<\/i>. Is theirs a long-lasting love match?<\/p>\n<p><b>Politics and Gut Feelings<\/b><\/p>\n<p>And ruling Mr. Miller&#8217;s 3rd house of Communications <i>via<\/i> Aries and his 10th house of Career and Public Status <i>via<\/i> Scorpio is <b>Mars which forms a square with Saturn<\/b> (3A00). This aspect can indicate a career in Politics although it also indicates difficulty relating to others. Sullen anger, resentment, callousness, and an austere disposition may be noticed, plus, a Mars-SAturn square can attract potentials for accidents or even violence. Another suggestion here is restrictions in career matters (which some Americans think is a good thing). <\/p>\n<p>Another chart factor spread across Miller&#8217;s chart is <i>high intuition<\/i> of which he apparently has gracious plenty. Besides, his visionary, impractical <b>Sun-Neptune trine (0A10)<\/b>, one such indicator is his <b>Prenatal Solar Eclipse Saros Series<\/b>, the <b>5 North<\/b> which, prior to his birth, manifested on <b>May 19, 1985 @28Tau50<\/b> (among the <b>Pleiades<\/b> constellation and its difficult stars of rage and fury). <b>5 North<\/b> themes include hunches, prophetic dreams, and deep insights (Brady), and it last manifested in 1985, as noted. The next occurrence of a <b>5 North Solar Eclipse<\/b> will be on <b>June 10, 2021 @20Gemini<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Taken all together, I&#8217;d have to say that Stephen Miller is a cantankerous blend most noticeably under the sway of three prominent chart factors: his <b>Moon-Uranus conjunction<\/b>, a problematic <b>Mars-Saturn square<\/b>, a <b>Sun-Pluto sextile<\/b>, and powerful <b>Pluto in occult Scorpio at Midheaven<\/b>. Disagree if you wish, but there it is.<\/p>\n<p>Well, there are many more chart factors for Stephen Miller that are worth consideration and for brevity&#8217;s sake, I hope you&#8217;ll study the natal horoscope of Mr. Trump&#8217;s Senior Advisor if you haven&#8217;t already!<\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\"><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/StarsOverWashington\/~4\/gTiiTfNdzC4\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Photo: By Gage Skidmore [CC BY-SA 3.0 (http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0)], via Wikimedia Commons (File: Stephen Miller by Gage Skidmore.jpg) [CC BY-SA 3.0 (https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0)], via Wikimedia Commons A Few Astr&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/?p=89338\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[],"tags":[654,11278,8010,1569,11286,1180,937,1486,11287,11288,11280,1182],"class_list":["post-89338","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tag-capricorn","tag-daca-government-shutdown-2018","tag-donald-trump","tag-eclipses","tag-government-shutdown-2018","tag-natal-astrology","tag-pluto-in-scorpio","tag-rs-vs-ds","tag-s-5-north-eclipse","tag-stephen-miller","tag-trump-shutdown","tag-us-congress"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pekXVE-neW","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89338"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=89338"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89338\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":89339,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89338\/revisions\/89339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=89338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=89338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrologyblogger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=89338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
