Political Ideology In Astrology

SUMMARY

This study shows, using approximately 400 astrological charts of mostly public personalities, correlations between astrological patterns and political/ethical ideologies. The primary indicator of political/ethical ideology is the asteroid Pallas, followed by Venus and the Moon.

Pallas in aspect to the Sun, Mercury, and/or the North Node ("Defensive Pallas") tends to increase a native's libertarian or philosophically non-aggressive tendencies. Pallas in disharmonious aspect to Jupiter, in any aspect to Pluto, or in a stronger aspect to the South Node than to the North Node ("Aggressive Pallas") tends to increase a native's philosophically aggressive or authoritarian tendencies. The placement of Pallas on the natal chart is a reliable indicator of the degree of government control the native considers acceptable. Aspects of Pallas to planets which rule one of these factors also affect the chart (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 affect the chart.

The placement of Venus also shows a correlation with ideology, with regard to wealth. Venus or the Second House ruler conjunct or trine the North Node ("Solid Venus") usually indicates especially strong free-market capitalist tendencies. Conversely, charts of persons with leftist or government-interventionist economic views tend to have Neptune or the South Node in aspect to Venus, the ruler of Venus, or the Second House ("Fluid Venus"). While "Fluid Venus" is present in nearly all the charts of leftists in this sample, it is not a reliable indicator that the native will adhere to lefist economics. Many natives with the pattern will shift to non-interventionist economics after a comparative study of economic systems (common in cases with a strong "Defensive Pallas" placement); others will adopt right-wing coloration without changing their underlying economic views in order to gain political influence.

Cultural conservatism, as differentiated from libertarian (small-government and/or anti-war) conservatism and economic (laissez-faire) conservatism, may be connected to the astrological placement of the Moon and the Fourth House. It is common for cultural conservatives to have the North Node in aspect to the Moon, the Fourth House, and/or their rulers ("Solid Moon"). Conversely, the South Node and/or Neptune in connection to the Moon or Fourth House ("Fluid Moon") may indicate a departure from socially conservative values. Cultural conservatism and cultural liberalism can coexist with any combination of Pallas and Venus factors, though cultural conservatives often politically align themselves with fiscal conservatives and cultural liberals with economic leftists. Due to the difficulty of obtaining birth times for many charts, this factor is more difficult to track than Pallas and Venus.

This shows how it's practically impossible to sway someone's political views unless a specific event happens that makes them change their views, which is always accompanied by an astrological transit.
