Alex Salmond will face trial next March on charges of carrying out a series of sexual offences against 10 women while serving as Scotland’s first minister. He denies all the allegations, which include one attempted rape, one intent to rape, 10 sexual assaults and two indecent assaults on dates between 2008 and 2014. The trial is expected to last about four weeks.
As a politician, he was a formidable orator and led the pro-independence campaign. He has been married since 1981 to a wife, seventeen years older than himself. Since retiring as first minister he has fronted a chat show for RT (Russia government funded) which has attracted criticism
Born 31 December 1954 4.30 pm Linlithgow, Scotland, he has a hard-working 6th house Sun Mercury in Capricorn; with an ambitious 10th house Moon Mars in Pisces in a Water Grand Trine to a lucky Uranus Jupiter in Cancer in his 1st and an obsessively conscientious Saturn in Scorpio conjunct Venus also in seductive Scorpio.
The tr Saturn Pluto conjunction is moving through his 7th house of relationships with tr Pluto exactly conjunct his Solar Arc Saturn when the trial starts; with tr Saturn zigzagging in opposition to his Jupiter Uranus in 2020 which will dent his enthusiasm and confidence. His Progressed Mercury will be square his Saturn for another downbeat pointer. But most significantly tr Neptune will be conjunct his Mars from late March through April which is usually an indication of panicky failure. And it repeats on and off into 2021.
If he does end up on the wrong side of this, it’ll be a sad end for a very bright and articulate man. I didn’t agree with his politics but he did give memorable speeches.
”It reminds me of a trial years ago of a swimming coach accused by 25 girls of abusing them and his defence was they were lying – to which the judge retorted ‘all of them?’
Let’s not judge one case by comparing it with another. The circumstances are totally different. For example Alex Salmond has been and continues to be the number one threat to this UK Union dissolving in the very near future. I doubt any one of these girls posed such a threat.
”An independent or otherwise Scotland doesn’t hinge on Salmond’s guilt or innocence.” And it won’t, believe me, but Westminster will try to do so anyway.
”Astrology isn’t there to give you the answers you want.”
And yet you have a great deal to say previously, astrologically, about others in the same position.
As to Alex Salmond broadcasting on RT. Well he applied to join the BBC et al and they all knocked him back (big threat) even although the Scots fork out around £340 million a year which goes straight into the London Treasury (and we get he-haw back including no control over broadcasting – check out the regions of countries Worldwide that do) . At least 50% of Scots support Independence / Alex Salmond which = £170 million of our money per year at the very least and yet not one TV presenter supports Independence for Scotland.
Says it all other than check out his RT site and you’ll find that he’s interviewing one Tory, Libdem and Labour MP after another plus numerous Internationally celebrated individuals many of whom including Alex Salmond have nought good to say about Putin.
“Since retiring as first minister he has fronted a chat show for RT (Russia government funded) which has attracted criticism.”
I wonder where I’ve heard of people with some intellectual standing, but maybe some morally and legally dubious behavior that’s been whispered about but not fully exposed becoming a RT contributor before.
I’m not saying it’s the case here, but it’s widely known in the Western Intelligence Comminity (especially so called “Five Eyes” circle) RT was used by Russians to pay their assets. RT bank account was frozen in The UK in October 2016 with “money laundering” acclaims. Or when Mikhail Leshin, the guy who had beeen running the operation died from a head trauma alledgedly caused by slipping in his Washington DC hotel room, but according to Steele Report killed by hitmen in what used to be classic KGB/GRU “wet operation” execution? These are not the kind of operations that are taken in connection of a “mere” disinformation channel, there was some serious money moving through RT.
I just checked out his horoscope on Astrodienst and see that he also has a number of positive aspects including this:-
Jupiter conjunction Descendant: Mutual growth.
End of February 2020 until end of October 2020: During this period you seek to grow in various ways through your closest contacts with other people. You try to create relationships that will further your life, not in a spirit of selfishness, but in a desire for mutual growth. Often at this time a person will come into your life who offers to help you out in some way, usually through a partnership…..
This is also an excellent time to seek out someone for counseling, especially a lawyer, but also any other kind of counselor. Related to this, incidentally, is that if you have a case in court at this time, it will work out as you want it to.
Amazing too that he has been held in high esteem worldwide (and in Westminster by all opposition parties too) and received MANY awards, such as the Coppieters.

He’s met thousands of women over time and there has never been as much as a whisper about deviant behaviour. More so that he was actually very gentlemanly, as I found on occasions when I met him. No complaint has ever been made about him by any of his female political colleagues at Holyrood or Westminster in a political career spanning a 30 year period, zero complaints against him were received from staff following the ScotGov publication to staff of the new former ministers procedure on the Intranet and yet now 10 women have come forward to complain about him.
There’s more to this than meets the eye, as an example there’s been a great deal published online about the two Westminster Civil Servants based in Scotland, Judith Mackinnon and Lesley Evans, who are behind dredging up the complaints. Alex Salmond has in fact taken them to Court already in relation to, in part, as Lord Pentland stated that ”a significant decree of assistance to the complainers bordering on encouragement to proceed with their complaints”. The Scottish Government lawyers working on their behalf conceded the case to Alex Salmond before MacKinnon and Evans had to take to the stand and give evidence. Alex Salmond went on to win his case against them in January 2019.
”Perhaps there’s more to come then?” Well just as Alex Salmond is extremely well liked by Independence supporters he is conversely detested by many of those that don’t. He is also deemed to be the greatest threat of all, by the British Establishment, to the breaking up of the Union, more so than Nicola Sturgeon, so maybe dozens of women will emerge from the woodwork now. Who knows? Strange too that this case could have been heard from January this year on and yet it’s going to be heard to co-incide with the Independence Referendum next year.
No one can truly know if he is innocent or guilty but how he’s going to fight and win a case against ten women is beyond me. The cases range from him touching one woman on the arm and hip, touching another on the leg in a taxi, removing a woman’s foot from her shoe, stroking her foot, lifting it towards his mouth and attempting to kiss it to spending a day in Bute House with a woman, having a meal and drinks and then later at night asking her to go into his bedroom which she did. He removed her clothing and underwear, removed his clothing and underwear, asked her to lie on the bed which she did and he lay on top of her which constituted intent to rape.
What I’d like to know Marjorie is this. Is there anything in his chart that would highlight sexual deviancy or if he’s being set up? If not you Marjory then maybe someone else would like to comment on the astrological implications.
I am reluctant to comment too specifically on character traits until after the trial – old Scottish training about not contempting court runs deep.
What I would in general say is that talent does not exclude bad behaviour nor is it an excuse – many of those who have fallen foul of #metoo allegations are extremely able in their day job. Trying to brew up paranoid conspiracy theories to explain away multiple allegations really is a nonsense.
It reminds me of a trial years ago of a swimming coach accused by 25 girls of abusing them and his defence was they were lying – to which the judge retorted ‘all of them?’
An independent or otherwise Scotland doesn’t hinge on Salmond’s guilt or innocence. If he is found guilty it’ll be a blow to those who put him on a pedestal. But such is life.
Astrology isn’t there to give you the answers you want.
Thank you Marjorie. I agree with you, he seemed so articulate and intelligent. We have to reserve judgement, yet there are so many charges it is a stretch to think nothing much happened here. I notice that the Capricorn eclipse on Boxing Day will be conjunct his North Node, and solar arc Neptune. Perhaps there’s more to come then?
