The Great Panjandrum

…and there were present
the Picninnies,
and the Joblillies,
and the Garyulies,
and the great Panjandrum himself,
with the little round button at top;
and they all fell to playing the game of catch-as-catch-can,
till the gunpowder ran out at the heels of their boots.

From The Great Panjandrum Himself illustrated by Randolph Caldecott 1885; original verse by Samuel Foote

This nonsense rhyme brings to mind current world political events. The world is, at this brief moment in time, in thrall to, and greatly affected by, the behaviour of a single person. This is his chart.

Like it or not, we are all presently involved in the energies reflected in this chart. Over the years it’s been explored at some length in a number of posts on this blog. It’s remarkable how easily are the characteristics of this US president related to the features in his Huber birth chart.

• The only you-sided planet is the Moon, unable to directly express itself, being in intercepted Sagittarius – only able to express through Sun/Uranus high up in the 10th house, stressed Saturn/Venus before 12th and Jupiter in the 2nd house of possessions. Golden Trump Towers come to mind.
• The strong red opposition blocks off the outside world, which cannot see what is going on within.
• The chart image looks to me like a massive beak pounding into that very 4th house Moon. What a weight it has to bear, and particularly had to bear in childhood. This might explain current hypersensitivity.
• In the Family Model the opposition Sun/Moon confirms the known difficult relationship with father, and shows a more ambivalent relationship with mother (quincunx). Sun is stressed and intercepted in Gemini and conjunct Uranus and North Node – which could relate to novel systems he ‘knows’ are right that the rest of the world does not understand. (Tariffs?)
• Mars stressed before the AC correlates well with the hyperactivity displayed in his business affairs, and in the current presidential term.
• The linear pattern Neptune-Mercury-Pluto is currently activated by the Age Point. Currently, Neptune and Pluto appear to be operating at their lowest level.
• The 2 major aspect figures both include the Sun/Moon opposition: Ambivalence Triangle with Jupiter, which suggests the apparent easy-going nature of the incumbent at times.
  Megaphone with Mars/Saturn/Venus. The output of the megaphone is particularly through stressed Saturn/Venus – whereby Moon seeks expression. Manipulative yet charming?

I must stop, but perhaps the reader has something to add here.

Suffice to say that the characteristics of this president are rather easily related to features in this chart, and the apparent nonsense being inflicted onto the rest of the world correlates well with the Great Panjandrum!
