Anthony Weiner – couldn’t take a telling

   

 

The mystifying self-destruction of Anthony Weiner, ex-congressman and husband of Hillary Clinton’s closest aide Huma Abedin, reaches closure as he is slapped with nearly two years in the federal penitentiary for sexting a minor. He’d already lost his career in a previous sexting scandal in 2013, when Huma was pregnant; before that he was known ‘for his overweening ambition, his constant presence on cable news, his hard-charging schedule that verged on lunacy’. So a driven  and a narcissist. Huma served him with divorce papers last year and keeps custody of their son.

Born 4 September 1964 in New York, he has his Sun, Uranus, Pluto, Mercury conjunct in Virgo – hyper, highly-strung, rebellious, earthy; with a flamboyant Leo Moon which may square onto an indulgent Jupiter in Taurus in a head-in-the-clouds opposition to Neptune, which sounds about right. Plus a passionately enthusiastic and emotional Venus Mars in Cancer sextile Jupiter – drawn to the good life. His Mercury opposes Saturn which in turn squares Jupiter – so he’s very up and down emotionally and psychologically, from pessimism to optimism.

His early prison months will be tough with his Solar Arc Saturn squaring his Mars, exact in Jan 2018; plus tr Neptune opposing his Sun (exact now) and then his Pluto into early 2018. But he’s also got tr Pluto hitting three of his Jupiter midpoints till late 2018, which will no doubt spur him on.

The oddity was why his wife stood by him after the first scandal. Born 26 July 1976, she’s a Sun Saturn conjunct in Leo square Uranus; with Venus, Mercury, maybe Moon also in Leo, and Jupiter in Taurus (like her husband.) Her Mars in Virgo is conjunct his Sun, Pluto, Uranus, Mercury which is a very odd combo for a marriage leading to simmering resentment and angry clashes – though perhaps two constantly-travelling, workaholics with super-charged careers who only met every other week would soak up that aggravation. The only faintly romantic crossover is her Venus perhaps conjunct his Moon.

Their relationship chart does have a composite Jupiter opposition Neptune square Sun, Mars (Moon), with Jupiter trine Pluto. Soaring ambitions, power-couple wannabees and a sugar-coating of illusions and delusions. The composite Saturn is square Mars, which usually means unkindness or one partner acting solely out of their needs.
