inc Mrs. Mugabe has a lot of fire and earth in chart, making her hot tempered and appearance conscious, but as they are all in her twelfth house, that may not be such a good thing when her 93 year old husband, President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, reposes, particularly as Pluto is opposite Saturn in the sixth. Reading a back issue of the New York Review of Book, April 8th issue, this is not a wild statement: The former president and his wife [after the military coup that deposed him] had just departed for Southeast Asia, and the heavy security…

No. 15 – Probity (Integrity) Pluto shows what is one’s integrity or probity. Here the planet is in the sign of physical energy (Taurus), in the house of the home and end of life (fourth), on a degree (Taurus 7) of “awakening.” “I wonder if you will ever know how I love Sagamore Hill,” remarked Theodore Roosevelt to his wife on January 5th, 1919.

Point 13. Venus — the finishing. Venus is money, or how you finish things. It is also how you know when you are finished or when it is over or complete. Money is one symbol of that end or finishing; aesthetic things like art, and personal values are other aspects of the finished side of life. In TR’s chart, we find Venus is in the sign of administration (Sagittarius), the house of large insitutions (the twelfth) and the degree of discretion. The symbol (Sagittarius 18) reads: “Little children are playing upon the sultry beach, but each is protected from the…

N o . 1 2 — Neptune Neptune is the planet of the general obligation to life. In Teddy’s chart it is in the house of resources (second) and the sign of poetical appreciation (Pisces), in the degree of phenomena (Pisces 23), symbolized by a spiritist medium. This is also remarkable as Neptune is the modern co-ruler of Pisces giving it especial emphasis and dignity. (see tge green triangle above).

In our continuing tour of Marc Jones’s 16 points, next is the health and the person. Saturn is the planet of health because it is the point of sensitivity while the sixth house is important because it is traditional the house of health and the welfare of the native.

President Theodore’s health matrix For Teddy, Saturn is in the sign of the Sun, a term I have assigned…

No. 10 – Forward Opportunity The Dragon’s Tail is the direct opposite of the Dragon’s Head and commonly called the South Node of the moon, but I call it the Forward Opportunity.

Point 9 was originally Karma. Marc Edmund Jones wrote “Karma is what you carry around with you as an excuse for being. Good karma places nothing in your way, and bad karma makes you work, therefore, bad karma is good, because it makes you put forth effort.” He added that “Jupiter is the planet of karma, the planet of your soul or your conscious conception of your inner self. “ Twenty years later, when the posthumous Counseling Manual of Astrology was published, it was changed to Spontaneity for what is the person’s enjoyment of life and how that fulfills them.…

No. 7 – Relationships with Others, the Moon From the mental chemistry of a person, my next point is the the emotional life and marriage, or the moon, and the planet or planets that indicate marriage, respectively. The moon is while important is almost midway in the list because it is reflective and so we need the other planets to fully understand its colour. Our emotions are intimate and specific. It is our capacity for intimate experiences and sharing experiences. For T.R. his Moon is in the sixth house which I have assigned the keyword of “Duty” in the thirteenth degree of Cancer,…
