Alex Salmond, former First Minister of Scotland, is digging in his toes and refusing to be ‘bullied’ into resigning from his political show on RT, the Kremlin-funded television station, despite increasing criticism. His weekly radio show on LBC has come to the end of its run and is not being renewed. Though he says they are discussing other projects.
Born 31 December 1954 4.30pm Linlithgow, Scotland, he has Sun and Mercury in Capricorn in the hard-working 6th; with a Yod of an articulate and persuasive though forceful 3rd house Pluto sextile Neptune inconjunct a 10th house Pisces Moon (conjunct Mars). A 10th house Moon certainly suits him for a public and political career; though a focal point Yod Moon tends to be overly defensive. He’s also got a Water Grand Trine of a lucky Jupiter Uranus in his 1st trine Venus Saturn in determined Scorpio trine Moon Mars – so self-protective, can be healing for others, not always realistic, tends to get overly emotional.
He looks dismayed at the moment with tr Saturn conjunct his Mars/Neptune midpoint and discouraged with tr Saturn conjunct his Sun – that runs till late May, returning late year. He’ll be bullish despite a few disasters and setbacks in September and October ; and will bounce again in 2019 though with a fair few upheavals running as well. 2020 sees tr Neptune conjunct his 10th house Mars which will be undermining where ambitions are concerned for two years. And he is in any event in a long haul of tr Neptune through his 10th making him directionless. He’ll never be completely down since his Jupiter Uranus will always rebound him.
