The French Banker Guy Who Just Tried To Rape the Hotel Maid

Wow, if I saw that a guy had a natal NN, Mars, Sun, Venus type of stellium thingee on the Taurus-Aries cusp which was currently going to be hit by an exact conjunction of Mercury-Venus-Jupiter. And also that the mutual reception of the 2 Planets of Love are in mutual reception with each other both in the natal chart and the transiting chart. I'd say "Party on, Dude!"

And that would be Bad Advice.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn is the head of some global banking thing and was in the lead to win the election for President of France and now all that's pretty much gone because of what he did last week. And that's because he attacked a maid at a fancy hotel he was staying at in New York City. The astrolocality is fascinating. His Sun-Venus Ascendant lines are running right through New York. Not only is that great for a Banker, but it's great for a partier. And so, I also would have looked at that and thought "Party on, Dude."

And, again, that would have totally sucked in the Advice Department.

So, I looked at his progressed chart. There's some serious self-undoing stuff in his 12th House. For one, he's got the sign of Cancer intercepted in there. That means that natal Moon in Aries will play out prominently in the life. Or it just means that his 12th House is extra large and he's going to have to experience a whole lot of that house's influence in his life.

Natal Moon in Aries can have aggression issues if the rest of the chart doesn't balance it out in some way. This guy has Aries North Node conjunct ruler Mars which just focuses more energy in that direction. He's had problems before with his aggressive streak. Some French Guy on TV last night said that his behavior tends to go beyond what is normal for French Men.

The clinker is that the Banker guy is having a progressed New Moon at 4-5 degrees Cancer which is, as I said, intercepted in the 12th house of self undoing. And p.Uranus is at 1 Cancer. You know Uranus had to show up because somebody pulled the Joker Card out of this deck.

New Moons are thought to bring new Beginnings and Uranus promises that it won't turn out as planned.

In addition, this chart is just getting hacked to bits by the outer planet t-squarery from Saturn-Pluto-Uranus as well. It's already tripping off his natal Moon-Lilith in Aries opposition to Neptune in Libra. Yuck. Uranus is on Moon-Lilith. And Saturn is on Neptune in Libra. And they're opposing each other and squaring the progressed New Moon.

Uh oh, 12th house is jail. It's also secret enemies, even if your secret enemy is yourself. I mean, it would be so easy to set this guy up right now.

Wow, famous men need to stay out of hotels these days. Probably all of us do. A couple of months ago I stayed in a Holiday Inn that had 9 security cameras planted in to the ceiling of just one hallway. It was unbelievable.

At least he chose the right profession for his Taurus Sun.
