Goldsmith’s degree for Starr’s ascendant is rather amusing. He writes A man walks out on his front porch at daybreak. The paper-boy throws a newspaper, which lands squarely at his feet, revealing a sensational headline, well Starr did seem to have a knack for headlines. Kenneth Starr’s oddities Another oddity about Starr, is for a man who was born, educated and died in Texas, he is a Eastern based bowl — typically that means he uses his resources to the utmost. Jones called these people “self-reliant” but the idea of “opportunistic” works equally well, for they take every opportunity given…

The many facets of Justice Byrnes James F. Byrnes was a lawyer with no formal education, something you would never see today, and so is remarkable. More striking is he had an influential role in the political careers of presidents Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, and Richard Nixon. Despite ending his scholastic career at fourteen when he left and went to work, FDR appointed him a Supreme Court Justic and if all of that was not notable, unlike most life-jurists, he did not die in office, but resigned, and returned to political life, and ran, successfully, as governor of…

AUSTIN, Tex. — Steve Mostyn, a Texas trial lawyer and one of the nation’s leading Democratic donors, who spent a fortune in a long effort to turn his reliably red home state blue, died on Wednesday at his home in Houston. He was 46. The Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences ruled the death a suicide resulting from a gunshot wound to the head. His wife and fellow lawyer, Amber Mostyn, said his death had come after a “sudden onset and battle with a mental health issue.” The death jolted Texas politicians in both parties and left Democrats grieving the…

U.S. Attorney John Durham may wait until after the 2020 presidential election to make his conclusions public on the Ukraine-gate scandal because as his ascendant shows, Aries 30, he needs to get his ducks all set up in a row. This meticulousness borders on procrastination and indecision — aka who can he afford to hurt more — is further shown by Venus in Aquarius in the tenth house — a constant gathering of information, and data so that his decisions and career remain unimpeachable. Stoolie’s and the Law Durham has no planets in either their rulership or exaltation. He great…

Andrew Macbeth Anderson DL was a lawyer and writer on Scottish criminal law. See here for a list of his works available for viewing on HathiTrust. It is rather amusing how it starts off with “Dole” i.e. British welfare, from David Hume, the Scots philosopher. His line of vitality or the Scorpio Sun opposing its Taurean moon suggests a constant need for Judge Anderson to affirm his views by specializing in one facet of the cosmic order after another. He had a preponderance in Libra, often the sign of the law and military. His ascendant is Cancer 08, or the symbol of…

The chart data is from British Astrologer Alan Leo’s 1001 Notables. Marc Jones adopted it. He was such an ardent fan of Gandhi; he wrote Gandhi Lives, hence the title of this post. The book is available for about 13.00 on Amazon.

I got interested in Lara watching Netflix’s Narcos, he was a welcome bolt of fresh air. The show is a real blast of the 1980’s past as the production team did a fine job and many of the actors were good as well. So here is a late obit to Mr. Rodrigo Lara for a job well done and life cut far too short. The header picture is of the team called The New Liberalism. Mr. Lara and his wife are third and fourth from the left. The New Yorker from the New Yorker magazine, March 8, 2019 …. Pedro…

I don’t know if 29 Gemini is his ascendant, but putting together all the various dates out there on his marriage, schooling and current legal problem it seems to work. The red transit outer chart is for today, August 18th as the jury is hung and cannot come to a decision. Also, the place is wrong as the trial is being held in Warsaw, Virginia not in Fairfax outside of DC. The Russian Connection The chart…
