John Edwards The Juggling Gemini

Gemini John Edwards certainly lives up to the special capabilities that Gemini has for multi-tasking. Think of it, he was running for President, his wife has cancer; he’s having an affair, and diverting campaign funds to his Mistress. Oh yea, and he’s got his campaign worker taking responsibility for the child. Now that’s a juggling act any Gemini can be proud of. The National Enquirer broke the story in late 2007. In August of 2008 he gave an interview in which he stated that the child was not his, he knew this because the affair had ended 2 years prior. Ha! In 2009 the investigation into his tricky diversion of campaign funds began and on January 21, 2010 he finally admitted the child was his. The Astrology of it all is a fascinating study of planetary cycles. When the story first broke the planet Mars was retrograde in Cancer. Mars goes retrograde about every two years or so. When he finally admits parentage, Mars in retrograde in Leo. A little bit of serendipity there. Up until 2008, Pluto had been traveling through Sagittarius, opposing John Edwards’ Sun, Moon, Mars and Jupiter in Gemini. Pluto can raise you to the heights and bring you down lower than the low. The 5 Saturn/Uranus oppositions that began in November 2008 fall across Pisces/Virgo (all except the last one in July 2010) form a square aspect to his Gemini planets. (Tiger Woods has these two spoiling his game as well) Transiting planets that square or oppose natal planets can be very trying and stressful times. They are aspects of strain. They put the pressure on you and force you to act. Through all of this, Neptune, the planet of illusion and delusion has been sending happy smiley faces to his Gemini planets. He really thought he could get away with all of this. The planetary shifts in January 2010 have accompanied some startling events in the world. The devastating earthquake in Haiti and the Democrats loss of Ted Kennedy’s seat in Massachusetts are but a few. Many of the earthquakes occur in personal lives. Astrology can help you weather the storms. Although his political career is toast, I don’t think we have heard the last from John Edwards.
