PALLAS AND POLITICAL IDEOLOGY IN ASTROLOGY



In astrology, the asteroid Pallas represents the classical goddess Pallas Athena: goddess of wisdom and protector of culture and civilization. Astrologers consider Pallas to have an effect on the astrological chart reflecting the mythological qualities of the goddess. It is the growing conclusion of this research that the placement of Pallas on an astrological birth chart indicates the native's degree of respect for individual human liberty and therefore much of the native's political outlook. This page also explores other astrological factors which may affect political ideology.

The following is a selection of astrological charts of politically prominent persons (or organizations or events), illustrating a correlation between Pallas in the birth chart and libertarian tendencies. This selection begins with a number of charts of persons at the libertarian end of the spectrum, followed by a number of charts of prominent authoritarians or promoters of central political control, as well as charts of persons that don't fit solidly into either category.

Charts of libertarians tend to show Pallas in aspect the Sun, Mercury, and/or the North Node. Charts of authoritarians tend to show Pallas in disharmonious aspect to Jupiter or in any aspect to Pluto. It is possible that Pallas becomes more authoritarian when in the 8th house or in a stronger aspect to the South Node than to the North Node. Persons whose charts contain both libertarian and authoritarian aspects tend to lean towards the political orientation with the stronger aspects. Aspects of Pallas to planets which rule one of these factors also affect the chart, as the examples demonstrate (libertarian charts, for example, can have Pallas in aspect to the ruler of the Sun rather than the Sun itself). Also, aspects to the ruler of Pallas herself may have an effect on the chart. Aspects of Mars, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune to Pallas do not have a clear effect on a native's degree of libertarianism. As these charts will show, Pallas seems unconcerned with any Left/Right distinction: she appears to be primarily linked to the ideal of personal freedom.

The placement of Venus also shows a correlation with political ideology, with regard to the treatment of wealth. Charts of persons with Socialist or government-interventionist economic views tend to have Neptune in aspect to Venus, the ruler of Venus, or the Second House. Sometimes the South Node replaces Neptune in this pattern (conversely, Venus in strong aspect to the North Node may indicate especially strong free-market capitalist tendencies). While this has symbolic implications that are not flattering to adherents of these economic ideologies, there is no lack of data for this observation. The Venus-Neptune connection is sometimes overcome by a strongly libertarian Pallas placement. It is common for economists or persons primarily concerned with economics to have Venus-Mercury aspects and/or mutual receptions.

Research by this astrologer into this topic is ongoing. This page continues to grow and change with the addition of new information and the formation of new conclusions. The underlying premise here, however, has not changed and continues to enjoy support from a growing volume of data: that people are born with affinities towards different systems of social organization and economics. It may be of benefit to understand that different persons will intrinsically desire different systems and that attempting to force a population of any significant size to adhere to a single unified system is unrealistic, and a recipe for violent conflict.

NOTES: Many of these charts don't have birth times so the ASC/Moon/houses are unreliable in those cases. In this site the term "Socialist" refers broadly to economic distribution through force as opposed to through voluntary exchange. A quick survey of history will reveal that Socialism and Fascism are often interchangeable (as in Hitler's "National Socialist" Germany and "Communist" China as well as the Trotskyite roots of the American "Neoconservative" movement) and so the term "Socialist" (among others) is used freely here to refer to economic interventionism of any kind.


LIBERTARIANS

.
Ron Paul has Pallas conjuct Sun. He is clearly the most prominent living libertarian on the planet. Virgo Mercury opposite Saturn in Pisces may represent his lifelong battle of words against the secretive authority of the Federal Reserve. In a pattern similar to that of many economic interventionists, Neptune is conjuct the ruler of Venus (Mercury in this case). This is mitigated by the Mercury-Saturn opposition.
[chart]

Joseph Dejacque has Pallas conjunct Sun. The anarcho-communist poet's economic views may be reflected in Neptune conjunct Uranus, ruler of Venus.

John Lennon has Pallas conjunct Sun and the North Node and quintile Pluto (which itself is ruled by the Sun). He is adopted by libertarians for his strong anti-authoritarian and anti-war views and for expressing disdain for Communism in the song "Revolution", but is also claimed by Socialist types for his utopian lyrics in "Imagine". The libertarian indicators here are very strong, and the dreamy idealism around wealth might be indicated by the Neptune aspects to Jupiter and Uranus in the second house.
[chart]

Claude Frederic Bastiat has Pallas conjuct Sun, square the Nodes, and trine Pluto. The aspect of Pallas to Pluto is common among authoritarian types: Bastiat had a career in government before making his historic contributions to libertarian economic theory.

[chart]

Gerald Celente, famed for his accurate social/political/economic predictions, has Pallas in a weak novile with the Sun and a weak sextile with Mercury.

Adam Kokesh has Pallas square the Nodes, conjunct Saturn (which rules his Sun-Mercury conjunction), and conjunct Pluto (which may be mitigated by its ruler Venus being on the South Node).
[chart]

Karen Kwiatkowski has Pallas trine the North Node and Pluto. Perhaps the authoritarian Pluto aspect dominated her early life as a military officer before she became a libertarian activist.
[chart]

Joan Kennedy Taylor has Pallas trine the North Node and sextile Venus which is conjunct Sun. She was an American journalist, author, editor, public intellectual, and political activist.
[chart]

[chart]

Rose Wilder Lane has Mercury at the midpoint of Pallas and Jupiter (the ruler of Mercury).

Also notable are his South Node - Saturn conjunction (disempowerment of authority) trine his Sun-Jupiter conjunction in Aquarius (spokesman/teacher of the the masses). Oddly, he seems to believe that the same government he passionately criticizes for abuses of life and liberty can be trusted to regulate the financial sector (suggested perhaps by the Venus-Neptune semisquare).
[chart]

Mohandas Gandhi has Pallas sequiquadrate Venus (the ruler of his Libra Sun) and trine North Node, as well as semisquare Pluto and Jupiter (which are both however ruled by Venus). These suggest a predominantly libertarian orientation albeit one tempered by other factors. The Neptune quincunx with Venus is in line with his Socialist economic views.
[chart]

Friedrich Hayek has Pallas opposite Venus (ruler of his Sun) and sextile Mars (ruler of his Mercury).
[chart]

Justin Raimondo has Pallas trine Mars (ruler of his Sun) and sextile Jupiter (ruler of his Mercury).

[chart]

Murray Bookchin has Pallas quincunx Jupiter which is conjunct Saturn, the ruler of his Sun and Mercury and also trine Sun and Mercury. Mercury is semisquare Mars, the ruler of Pallas. An anarcho-communist concerned with environmental issues, his economic views might be reflected by Venus in Pisces.

[chart]

Pyotr Kropotkin has Pallas ruled by Mercury which is sesquiquadrate Pluto. Interestingly, this is an authoritarian signature even though Kropotkin was an anarcho-communist. Perhaps if his time of birth were available it might show Pallas in a house ruled by Mercury or the Sun. His economics may appear in the Venus-Neptune semisquare.
[chart]


AUTHORITARIANS

Adolf Hitler was born with Pallas opposite Jupiter and sextile Sun. As for his economics: Pluto rules his Second House, and is conjunct Neptune.
[chart]

Nicolae Ceausescu was born with Pallas opposite Jupiter and semisquare Mercury. Suggesting his Socialist economics in a manner slightly different from the usual Neptune pattern, he has the South Node conjunct Pluto on his Second House cusp.
[chart]

Janet Napolitano has Pallas opposite Jupiter and trine Mercury (which is ruled by Jupiter).
[chart]

John Maynard Keynes has Pallas square Jupiter. His membership in the Socialist Fabian Society, and the unstated goals of his economic theories, which have helped dramatically concentrate the world's economic power into the hands of a very small minority, might be seen in the Venus/Neptune/South-Node conjunction.
[chart]

Irving Fisher has Pallas square Jupiter (and Pallas square Mercury with the South Node). He died penniless after spectacularly failing to predict the Great Depression but his intellectual heirs (the followers of his disciples John Maynard Keynes and Milton Friedman) continue to control the economies of the Western world to this day, with similar results. No birth time is available, but not surprisingly Neptune is on the cusp of his solar second house.
[chart]

Mitt Romney has Pallas square Jupiter. Like most non-libertarian Republicans, he is a strong supporter of a militarily aggressive foreign policy. The Venus-Nepune trine may reflect Socialist policy leanings such as the Massachusetts health plan he passed as governor.
[chart]

Benito Mussolini has Pallas square Jupiter and novile Pluto. The Venus-Neptune sextile may be reflected his early Socialist activism and later Fascism.
[chart]

Rick Perry has Pallas square Jupiter, Pluto, and Mercury, and trine Sun. Some of these aspects are common among libertarians but the strongest aspect is Pallas square Jupiter. Perry reportedly had libertarian leanings before attaining power and mandating Gardasil injections for Texas schoolgirls, resulting in numerous deaths.
[chart]

Hillary Clinton has Pallas square Jupiter, and trine Sun (which is both quintile and ruled by Pluto). She is a strong supporter of a militarily aggressive foreign policy.
[chart]

Friedrich Engels has Pallas sesquiquadrate North Node, which is conjunct Pluto and Jupiter. In addition to co-authoring the most lethal ideology ever devised, he may have invented "scientific" genocide. Nearly a century before the fall of Hitler, he called for the extermination of races he considered "inferior" or not suitable for Communism. His chart has an (indirect) Venus-Neptune sextile which may reflect his economic views.
[chart]

Karl Marx was born under a wide Pallas-Pluto conjuction. He also has a tight Venus-Neptune quincunx, consistent with economic leftism.
[chart]

Vladimir Lenin was born under a Pallas-Pluto-Mercury conjuction. As for his economics, Venus is in Pisces, ruled by Neptune, and the South Node is in his Second House.
[chart]

Michael Moore has a near-exact Pluto-Pallas conjuction and a weak Pallas-Mercury trine. He raises geniune social issues in his work but his proposed solution is always the expansion of government power over the masses. He also has no qualms with investing his large fortune on the companies he criticizes in his films. His chart also sports a strong Venus-Neptune quincunx as one might expect from a supporter of Socialist policies.
[chart]

Warren Buffett has Pallas conjuct Pluto. He has been a major beneficiary of taxpayer bailout money as well as, unsurprisingly, a passionate supporter of higher taxation for those of us not fortunate enough to receive bailouts. The indirect Venus-Neptune semisquare may represent the economic policies he supports.
[chart]

George Soros has Pallas conjuct Pluto. He was an unrepentant Nazi collaborator in his youth and now uses his vast fortune to fund major media outlets that promote the centralization of power.
[chart]

Kim Il-Sung has Pallas conjunct Pluto and trine the South Node.
[chart]

Nancy Pelosi has Pallas conjunct Pluto, square Jupiter, square the Nodes, and trine Mercury. The highest-ranking woman in the US legislature, she has proven a woman can be every bit as proficient at warmongering, corruption, and authoritarianism as a man. Her chart has the economic-interventionist Venus trine Neptune.
[chart]

Joseph Biden was born under a Pluto-Pallas opposition. He was the primary political force in the institution of mandatory minimum prison sentences for nonviolent drug offenders, and largely responsible for America's absurdly high African-American incarceration rate. It is difficult to imagine that a politician as deliberate and image-conscious as Barack Obama would have been ignorant of Biden's history before choosing him as Vice-President. Perhaps he would have been even worse without the Sun-Pluto mutual reception. Biden also has a Venus-Neptune sextile, putting him in the company of other promoters of Socialist economic policies.
[chart]

The Federal Reserve Bank, printer of the US dollar and privately owned by the richest men in the world, has Pallas opposite Pluto and conjuct Sun (which is tightly opposite Pluto). The indirect Neptune-Venus connection (common in Socialist charts) is consistent in that central banking is a plank of Marxist economics.
[chart]

Saul Alinsky has Pallas opposite Pluto, conjuct the South Node, and indirectly square Jupiter. He pioneered the use of deceptive and authoritarian tactics to achieve populist goals. His Socialist economics appear in the Neptune-Venus opposition.
[chart]

Mao Tse Tung was born with Pallas square Pluto and trine Sun. Historians now put the death toll of his reign at approximately 100 million, making him by far the most prolific mass-murderer in the history of the world. Neptune is in aspect to Saturn and Uranus, both of the co-rulers of his Second House Aquarius Venus (Venus-Neptune being a recurring theme for Socialist economics).
[chart]

Chiang Kai-Shek was born with Pallas square Pluto and Mercury. His Pallas chart pattern and civil rights record are similar to that of his rival Mao Tse Tung.
[chart]

Dick Cheney has Pallas trine Pluto. Pallas receives weaker aspects from the Sun and the Nodes. While Cheney's economic policy positions were not the focus of his reign, the Venus-Neptune trine puts him in the company of other economic authoritarians.
[chart]

Franklin Delano Roosevelt has Pallas trine Pluto. His "New Deal" paid farmers to destroy their crops in the midst of a famine (to boost food prices), and is thus culpable for the deaths of millions of Americans that starved during the Depression. The New Deal's massive highway projects largely created modern America's dependence on petroleum and its water projects have resulted in a severe depletion of the nation's ground water supply which will have catastrophic human and ecological ramifications through the next century. FDR's administration instituted blockades and sanctions against Japan in a successful ploy to force the Japanese into attacking Pearl Harbor, creating a justification to enter a war that would kill 400,000+ American soldiers in defense of Joseph Stalin's regime. The chart has a Venus-Neptune square as one might expect from a strong supporter of Socialist policies.
[chart]

Bill Gates, software billionaire, champion of forced eugenics policies for Africa, and major shareholder in GMO giant Monsanto, has Pallas trine Pluto.
[chart]

Al Gore, knight of NAFTA and promoter of eco-genocide, has Pallas trine Pluto, square Jupiter (via Moon), and conjunct Sun (ruled by Mars which is conjunct Pluto). Venus is sesquiquadrate Neptune here, possibly reflecting his economic views.
[chart]

Chuck Schumer has Pallas trine Pluto and (more loosely) conjunct Mercury. He is consistently pro-war and a leading advocate of gun control (civilian disarmament being a precondition for extremely oppressive regimes such as Nazi Germany). Indicating his strong support of government economic intervention, Pisces and its co-ruler Jupiter are on his Second House cusp and Neptune is semisquare Venus.
[chart]

Slodoban Milosevic has Pallas trine (and ruled by) Pluto, trine the South Node, and square Sun and Mercury. His Socialist economics appear in the Venus-Neptune conjunction.
[chart]

Newt Gingrich has Pallas trine the North Node (in a stellium with Pluto) and quintile Sun.
[chart]

William Kristol has Pallas quincunx Pluto and semisquare Jupiter. He has been one of America's top neoconservatives for decades. Consistent with his ardent opposition to the Clinton health care proposal, he has Venus conjunct the North Node.
[chart]

Ho Chi Minh has Pallas quincunx Pluto and sesquiquadrate Mercury. Consistent with other adherents of Socialist economics, he has Neptune in a stellium including both Venus and Mercury (the Second House ruler).
[chart]

Che Guevara has Pallas quincunx Pluto. The People's Poster-Boy gleefully executed 10,000 political prisoners in his custody before Comrade Fidel ordered him to stop. Sadly, this type of behavior seems more the norm than the exception throughout the history of our Red brethren. Neptune is square his Second House Sun, fulfilling the Venus-Neptune theme seen in Socialist charts.
[chart]

Deng Xiaoping has Pallas quincunx Pluto. Fittingly for the Chinese head of state who essentially converted his nation from Communism to a fascist/semi-capitalist system, Venus is conjunct the North Node.
[chart]

Joseph Stalin has Pallas quintile Pluto and sextile Mercury (which is sesquiquadrate Pluto). As is common with Socialists, he also has a Venus-Neptune trine.
[chart]

Josip Broz Tito has Pallas quintile Pluto (and conjunct its ruler Neptune) and sextile Sun. His economics appear in the chart as Venus trine the South Node.
[chart]

Gracchus Babeuf has Pallas sextile Pluto. He was a French pre-communist political agitator and journalist of the Revolutionary period.
[chart]

Leon Trotsky has Pallas sextile Pluto and conjunct the South Node.
[chart]

Bill Clinton has Pallas sesquiquadrate Pluto. During his administration the US government enacted NAFTA/GATT, massacred Americans at Waco, and killed one million Iraqis, mostly children, through sanctions. His chart also has a Venus-Neptune conjunction invoking economic interventionism (in this case flooding the US with easy credit through the Fed).
[chart]

Margaret Sanger has Pallas novile Pluto (which is square Moon, the ruler of Pallas) and sextile Mercury. Sanger founded the Negro Project in her crusade to rid America of black people by reducing the birth rate. The work of Sanger and her fellow American eugenecists would later inspire Hitler to attempt his own eugenics programs.
[chart]

George W Bush was born with Pallas biquintile Pluto. This is not a very strong aspect, and supports speculation that Bush was not the author of the policies of his regime. The Venus-Neptune semisquare may have found expression in his expansion of Medicare and his administration's extreme deficit spending.
[chart]

Rosa Luxemburg was born with Pallas trine the South Node and more weakly opposite Mercury. She was a Marxist theorist, philosopher, economist and activist who co-founded the anti-war Spartakusbund (Spartacist League) which eventually became the Communist Party of Germany (KPD). As for her economics, Neptune resides in the solar Second House and Venus is square the Nodes.
[chart]

Barack Obama has Pallas sesquiquadrate Neptune, the ruler of Pallas, which is both ruled by and sextile with Pluto. Promising "Hope and Change", his reign has brought a foreign policy of unbridled aggression, a complete abrogation of American civil liberties, unprecentented corporate infiltration of government (and vice-versa), and the most bloated federal budget in US history combined with Depression-level unemployment. His Socialist/Fascist leanings may be reflected in the chart by Venus trine Neptune.
[chart]

Abraham Lincoln has Pallas conjunct Sun: however, the rulers of the conjunction, Saturn and Uranus, both form aspects to Pluto. While Lincoln did sign the Emancipation Proclamation, he did so reluctantly as it was the only way to gain the political traction to attack the Confederacy. He remained deeply prejudiced against blacks through his life and committed countless war crimes, including the imprisoning of journalists critical of his regime, ordering the national guard to open fire on anti-war protesters, and approving an order allowing Union soldiers to rape the women of New Orleans at will. The Venus-Neptune trine suggests his mercantilist/fascist economics.
[chart]

Niccolo Machiavelli has Pallas conjunct and ruled by Mercury: however, Mercury is semisquare Jupiter and square Pluto.
[chart]

Antonio Gramsci has Pallas conjunct Mercury: however, Mercury is sesquiquadrate Pluto and its ruler Saturn is indirectly square Pluto via the North Node. He was a founding member and onetime leader of the Communist Party of Italy.
[chart]

Fidel Castro has Mercury on his Pallas - Pluto midpoint. Indicating his Socialist economics, Neptune is semisquare the Moon, ruler of his Cancer Venus.
[chart]

Hugo Chavez has Pallas ruled by Mercury, which is conjunct the South Node. He has probably not killed nearly as many people as other Communist heads of state, perhaps partially thanks to revenues from Venezuela's gigantic oil supply. As is consistent with his fellow Communists, Neptune is sextile the Sun, ruler and resident of his Second House.
[chart]


OTHER

Ayn Rand has Pallas conjunct Mercury, square Jupiter, and quincunx Pluto (which is ruled by the Pallas-conjoined Mercury). She was libertarian with regard to commerce but displayed fascist tendencies in other areas.
[chart]

Sarah Palin has Pallas sextile Mercury and sesquiquadrate Jupiter. She displays libertarian leanings when not running for national office but reverted to fascist rhetoric during her recent electoral campaigns. Her Socialist Venus-Neptune sesquiquadrate found expression in some of the economic policies she supported as governor of Alaska.
[chart]

Barry Goldwater has Pallas square Jupiter and trine Saturn (ruler of Sun and Mercury). During his presidential campaign he adopted libertarian rhetoric but his voting record after his failed run suggests he may not have strongly believed it. Neptune is sextile Jupiter, the ruler of his Second House, and widely quincunx Venus and the Second House cusp, reinforcing the observation that he was not a pure free-market capitalist.
[chart]

Jon Stewart has Pallas sesquiquadrate Sun and Mercury and also sesquiquadrate Jupiter. As one of the more ideologically consistent voices of the progressive Left, he is socially libertarian and economically authoritarian. He shares a Venus-Neptune conjuction with many of his fellow economic Leftists.
[chart]

Ralph Nader has Pallas conjunct Mercury and trine Pluto. This may suggest a significantly libertarian mindset but with a favorable view towards using force to achieve social goals. He holds libertarian views on civil liberties and foreign policy but not in commerce. Neptune is opposite the Sun on his second house cusp, representing his economic views.
[chart]

Thomas Jefferson has Pallas quintile Mercury and sextile Pluto. He was a libertarian statesman but an authoritarian president.
[chart]

Milton Friedman, quasi-libertarian, has Pallas quasi-conjunct Sun via Venus (which is semi-square Pluto). He is remembered as a libertarian but essentially advocated a form of central economic control. Neptune is novile Mercury, the ruler of his second house both by rulership and by conjunction, suggesting the Socialist roots underneath his theories.
[chart]

Dennis Kucinich, who holds libertarian views on civil liberties and foreign policy but not in commerce, has Pallas in weak or indirect aspect to Sun and Mercury. Neptune is (indirectly) novile Venus and (indirectly) sextile Pluto (the ruler of Venus), accounting for his economic views.

Pat Buchanan, whose paleoconservative views often put him in agreement with libertarianism (particularly with regard to foreign policy), has Pallas trine Sun. The Pallas biquintile with Pluto may correspond with his non-libertarian positions. Venus is quintile Neptune, consistent with his view that government has a role in directing a nation's economy.

Ronald Reagan has Pallas trine the South Node, which is also conjunct Pallas' ruler Jupiter. Promising drastically reduced government, his administration delivered a drastically increased government. To his credit, his use of military force was much more conservative than that of every single president since. Neptune is quincunx his Second House Sun and sesquiquadrate to and ruler of his Second House Venus, suggesting an astrological clue as to why fiscal conservatives labelled him Red Ronnie.

Rachel Maddow has Pallas trine the South Node, novile (and ruled by) Pluto, trine Mercury, and quincunx Sun. A typical Democratic Party loyalist, she adopted libertarian positions when the Republicans controlled Washington and promptly dropped them when her own party assumed control. Her chart carries the Venus-Neptune trine common among supporters of government economic intervention.

Karl Liebnecht has Pallas sesquiquadrate Pluto (although Pluto is ruled by Venus which is conjunct Pallas) and square the Nodes. He was a German socialist and a co-founder with Rosa Luxemburg of the Spartacist League and the Communist Party of Germany. The ambiguity in the Pallas signature may reflect Liebnecht's anti-war activities. Possibly representing his economics, the chart also has a Venus square the Nodes.

Lyndon Baines Johnson has a neutral Pallas signature, but the champion of the Great Society programs of the 1960's has Venus conjunct Neptune.
