Joseph Kennedy 111, grandson of Robert, a Massachusetts Congressman, will give the Democratic response to Trump’s State of the Union speech this coming week. It’ll be the first time Trump has spoken in front of the full Congress and it is expected he will unveil his immigration and $1.7 trillion infrastructure plan.
Kennedy, was born 4 October 1980 9.42pm Boston, Massachusetts, grew up steeped in politics; after college he joined the Peace Corps, working in the Dominican Republic, speaks fluent Spanish, then studied law at Harvard, working pro bono in legal aid, became an attorney and was elected to Congress in 2012. He’s teetotal, married to a lawyer with two children.
Hs chart is tightly knitted together with a Half Grand Sextile from a 4th house Leo Moon opposition his Aquarius Midheaven, sextile Pluto in Libra, trine Neptune in Sagittarius. Sextiles and trines give free flow of energy and talent – and Neptune Pluto appears in the charts of those with far-reaching ambitions. His Libra Sun and Pluto as well as Mercury in Scorpio are all in his ‘performing’ 5th house so he revels in being on a public platform, though is essentially fairly private.
His Moon opposition MC also squares Mars Uranus in Scorpio in the hard-working 6th house which will make him self-willed, a law-unto-himself type, who is an innovator though not a rebel. He will be headstrong with dogged persistence, not too adaptable, harbouring vengeful thoughts at times, but with strong executive ability. His ‘family’ 4th house is not surprisingly marked with Moon, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn there, so his roots and family background have been a principal influence on shaping who he is.
Tr Saturn is now just over his Descendant rising upwards which will push him into more prominence; and he’ll reach his first career peak in time for the 2024 election with tr Saturn hitting his midheaven. Though his natal Saturn isn’t strong so he may not resonate to that quite as much as some.
He looks excited and pleased by his lucky break at the moment being chosen for a high-profile speech; and even more energised in February in the aftermath.
He’s certainly one to watch for.
Looks like Caroline, who knows could give Trump a run for his money in the future.
Why do you say that his Saturn is weak? It is in Libra and I thought Saturn was exalted in Libra.
All kinds of YouTube videos re Joe Kennedy lll. Check them out. He’s wonderful! Extremely impressed.
What’s interesting, too, to me, is that Democrats definitely seem to have a great pool of candidates for 2024 and beyond. Right now, the best argument Republicans have for winning in 2020 is that Democrats are too unknown to win.
The Republicans have a couple of Russians that can give them the whole pie, without that pesky majority of votes.
My initial reaction on hearing about “another Kennedy” was somewhat “blah”, but then I read more on Robert III, and saw potential. People seem to constantly describe him as genuinly humble and not entitled at all. He also is another student of Lawrence Tribe, the Harvard Constitutional Law Professor Obama was a research assistant to. Tribe tweeted on him on Sunday saying he is “a real deal”, and confirmed that “humble” assertion once again. With a Leo Moon, that’s quite something.
He also has a good synastry with The US Chart. ASC between Venus/Jupiter conjunction and Sun conjunct Saturn. Bound by duty, and able to potrey the best of the country.
And speaks fluent Spanish and has worked in SAmerica so will pick up a fair few votes from that.
Marjorie, speaking of that, there was a heated meeting between hispanic leaders and the chief dems about hispanic needs being met. Could see a flip of the hispanic base in the future if the Republicans pick up on this and throw $$$ millions at it.
Yes!!!!!! Maybe there’s a light at the end of this dark tunnel after all!!
That’s my representative! And my neighbor.
