Joe Biden’s honeymoon period is over before he sets foot in the White House, with a spotlight being shone on his son Hunter Biden’s finances, with a tax investigation under way and hints of a probe into possible money laundering and foreign ties. Joe’s brother James is also involved in a hospital business which is under criminal investigation. There is no suggestion that Joe Biden is implicated but the issues could be a constant distraction through his presidency until resolved.
The previous October 30 2020 post below has the detail but it would certainly explain the fraught influences on the Joe/Hunter relationship chart, picking up from late January 2021 and running for two years. Tr Pluto will conjunct the composite Mars, which will make both feel trapped and angry as well as frustrated in the extreme. Tr Neptune is also square the composite Mercury in February and again late year into early 2022, for miscommunications and evasions. And Hunter is none too popular with Jill Biden either.
Hunter’s chart indicates that late 2021 into and across 2022 is his nadir with jolts, high-tension, shocks and a sense of panicky failure.
It’s not that previous presidents haven’t had their family embarassments to contend with – Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, George Bush etc. Even our Maggie Thatcher’s son Mark. But on top of the pyramids of problems an incoming president has to face and this one in particular, it will be one straw too many. And it will stick Joe Biden between a rock and a hard place since he’ll no doubt wish to reassert the Justice Department and AG’s independence from the White House to wipe out the damage caused by Trump and William Barr’s finagling.
Post October 30 2020.
Joe Biden’s errant son Hunter continues to be the focus of right-wing attacks with a dodgy New York Post piece, disclaimed even by its own reporters – and complaints that the media are avoiding covering the story of an alleged laptop containing incriminating files for partisan reasons. A recent Republican Senate report found that his lucrative work at a Ukrainian energy firm while his father was vice-president was “problematic” and “awkward”, but found no evidence that US foreign policy was influenced. The BBC comments: “It does however detail the breadth of his connections to questionable foreign interests and business leaders in Ukraine and China – creating “criminal financial, counterintelligence and extortion concerns”. It suggests Joe Biden’s son was profiting from his family name – a potential conflict of interest that is unsavoury but not unusual in Washington’s corridors of power.”
Hunter has a known history of drink and drug abuse.
Born 4 February 1970, he is a charming Sun Venus in Aquarius, with an up and down Jupiter in Scorpio opposition Saturn in Taurus; and a volatile and reckless Mars in Aries opposition Uranus. He was injured when two years old along with his brother Beau in a car crash which killed his mother and sister. In the aftermath Joe Biden, then a young Senator, travelled home daily ninety minutes each way from Washington to ensure he was there for them.
Despite a recent gushing WPost piece about Joe’s unconditional love for his son, it is not that easy a relationship. Hunter’s Neptune is conjunct Joe’s Sun, Venus so his father will find him elusive, evasive and slippery – perhaps the drug problem also fits here. Hunter’s Saturn is conjunct Joe’s Taurus Moon for a defensive barrier. More troublesome Hunter’s Pluto sits in Joe’s 10th which does give him a capacity for damaging Joe’s reputation and /or involving him in political and profession intrigues. Hunter’s Uranus is also in Joe’s 10th which could be destabilizing.
Their relationship chart does have an affectionate and close composite Sun Venus trine Pluto and Jupiter. But there’s also a hard-edged and aggravated composite Mars trine Saturn and a Neptune square Mars, both of which suggest differing agendas and lack of mutual support on one side or the other.
What will be interesting to watch out for, astrologically speaking, is tr Pluto conjunct the composite Mars from late January 2021 onwards for two years. In the event of Biden winning, junior may well find himself hemmed in and fuming about it. If Joe loses then Hunter might get part of the blame. But one way or another it won’t all be sunshine and roses for two years ahead.
My major thought is astrological. With tr Pluto conjunct the Joe/Hunter composite Mars from late January 2021 and for two years thereafter there will be HUGE frustrations and aggravations afflicting their relationship. So wait to see what that throws up.
Whatever happens to Hunter will be quickly eclipsed by the Trump family. When people find out about all the things Ivanka and Jared have done, they will forget Hunter.
What’s more important in this story is how the Big Tech, and the Mainstream Media all suppressed the story in October. They didn’t want the news to tarnish Joe before the election. If our media and communication outlets won’t let the real news be told we are all doomed.
The so-called investigation into Hunter Biden is actually quite irrelevant to most voters in this country. Also, many see this as a pure political stunt by the Republicans – an attempt to keep face with Trump’s most ardent supporters.
Nothing will come of it…and even if it did, what are the Republicans going to do? They don’t have any power over Hunter Biden and President Joe Biden could just as easily issue a pardon for him like Trump did for all of his cronies (remember: fair is fair).
For the record, I would hardly consider anytime this year (or last) a honeymoon period for Joe Biden – he endured a crowded presidential primary, false allegations of harassment from some neurotic woman who turned out to be a fraud, he’s had to deal with constant criticisms and slander from the lunatic fringes of the far-left and the far-right who don’t like his center-left agenda, he’s had to deal with ageism and people speculating the status of his health and cognitive thinking, he’s had to deal with misogynists and racists for selecting Kamala Harris (who is Multiracial) for VP, and now he’s having to deal with Donald Trump and the Republican Party relentlessly contesting the results of the election.
All in all, Joe Biden has persevered through of it…but nothing has been smooth sailing for him lately.
I get exhausted just thinking about how crazy these past two years have been.
Found this article most interesting and would love to hear further analysis from you.

The U.S. Pluto return in 2022 sends a message that our next few years were/are going to (continue to) be unpleasant no matter who won November’s election. I know you (Marjorie) have already written on this a few times. The structural corruption in the halls of our government persists. Hunter Biden is just a convenient scapegoat. Mitch McConnell is a malignant tumor on our body politic. And a subset of American conservatives are now bleating and braying again about secession. It’s exhausting.
Thanks Marjorie. First and foremost may I thank you and all who contribute to this site. 2020 has been hard work for me and these daily posts are such a pleasure for me to look forward too, thank you.
In regards Jo, Along with all the other spinning plates which will need attention I can’t help feeling that somewhere down the road, small time fraud will appear regarding the election. Once Trump TV is up and running it will bang on about it together all sort of over items which ultimately will become some sort of cross between the National Inquirer and wiki-leaks (Tumpi-leaks). All this equals stress and it’s a hard job anyway for anyone, especially if we add conflict and any natural (Climate or Earthquake) disasters, therefore health issues can’t be ruled out. In astrology terms I guess this is a tussle all through 2021-2022 between the old ruler of Aquarius represented by Jo (Saturn) and DJT (Uranus). But almost in parallel with Jo’s issues, everything but the kitchen sink will be heading towards the former commander in chief. If DJT survives this onslaught and deals or acknowledges his dirty laundry, then a more courageous possibly spiritual person may emerge as an independent candidate next time to challenge the woman incumbent.
Thanks Marjorie. What about this Paxton fellow who is leading the Texas fight against all the other States? I hear the FBI is already investigating him and he had lunch with Trump yesterday.
I don’t know. The fact that AG Barr has known about this investigation since April, but hasn’t leaked it means there probably isn’t much to this per se. It might give some “leverage” to Trump kids, though, when they are inevitably investigated for State Crimes they’ve committed. And, Daddy will, obviously, pardon them, but Biden can’t do the same with Hunter without coming across as a hypocrit.
‘The fact that AG Barr has known about this investigation since April, but hasn’t leaked it means there probably isn’t much to this per se.’
That was what I was thinking.
OTOH the Republican led Senate recommended to the DOJ that Don Jr. be charged and prosecuted for perjury.
