Tom Brokaw, a highly respected TV journalist and NBC anchor has had three allegations of historical sexual harassment made against him – of groping and unwanted kissing. 65 TV industry women then signed and published a letter characterizing Brokaw as “a man of tremendous decency and integrity.” Although one subsequent report says more junior staffers felt forced to sign it.
Born 6 February 1940 3.40am Webster, South Dakota, he has a quick-witted 3rd house Sun, Mercury in Aquarius. Though what marks his chart out as mega-talented – and quite heavyweight – is an Earth Grand Trine of Capricorn Moon trine Uranus trine Neptune, formed into two Kites. Neptune opposes Venus in charming Pisces; and his Moon opposes an 8th house Pluto squaring onto a disciplined, but ratchety Mars Saturn in Aries. His Pluto is also trine a confident, happy-home Jupiter in the 4th. He’s been married since 1962 to author Meredith Lynn Auld and they have three children.
Pluto in the 8th would help to make him influential; though his Moon aspects are difficult – opposition Pluto square Mars, Saturn. Certainly not at ease with the feminine.
In recent years he suffered from cancer though it appears to be in remission. He’s got a tough three to four years ahead with tr Uranus squaring his Pluto from June, and later in the year hitting his Moon/Pluto midpoint. In 2019 tr Pluto moves to square his Mars Saturn which will be extremely challenging.
