A disruptive start yesterday for Brett Kavanaugh’s Senate confirmation hearing for the Supreme Court with the Democrats enraged by the blocking of hundreds of thousands of pages of relevant documents and the late delivery of 40,000 more the night before.
Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) said “Any claim that this has been a thorough, transparent process is downright Orwellian. This is the most incomplete, most partisan, least transparent vetting for any Supreme Court nominee I have ever seen, and I have seen more of those than any person serving in the Senate today.”
Presuming it started at 9.30 am, there was a Cancer Moon opposition Saturn, a muddled Sun opposition Neptune and a mutinous Pluto Mars in the 4th; with an explosive Mars opposition North Node square Uranus.
It’s expected he’ll be confirmed later this month though he’s not looking altogether happy.
He’s got tr Neptune opposing his Uranus until next week which can be disempowering; then opposing his Uranus/Pluto in September/October which is insecure and uncertain and opposing his Uranus thereafter. Plus he has his Solar Arc Mars conjunct his Neptune this year which is generally not favourable for ambitions. But he may have transits to his chart’s axis which isn’t known without a birth time.
His relationship chart with the Supreme Court, 2 February 1790, is reasonably tight and knitted together with a secretive Water Grand Trine of Neptune trine Jupiter trine Venus Saturn, formed into a Kite by Venus Saturn opposition Mars square Pluto. Not easy but fairly together.
What’s more interesting is his relationship with Trump, who presumably selected him because of his previously stated views that presidents should not be indicted while in office. It’s not a natural fit with Kavanaugh’s Aquarius Sun opposition Trump’s Mars in Leo; K’s Uranus Pluto square Trump’s Uranus and K’s Mars square Trump’s Sun and Moon.
Their relationship chart is quite a mix – controlling and evasive with a composite Sun trine Pluto and opposition Neptune; with a hard-edged, irritable Mars trine Saturn; and a lucky Jupiter Uranus square Venus. It’ll be up and down this autumn with tr Uranus square the Uranus; and under immense pressure from April 2019 for two years with tr Pluto square the composite Sun. Supreme Court picks, if he gets through, don’t always deliver the verdicts their patrons’ expect.
