HISTORICAL FIGURE ASTROLOGY

SET NUMBER: One

Take what resonates; leave what doesn’t.

ON TODAY’S EPISODE OF ASTROLOGICAL PLACEMENTS BEING WAY TOO LITERAL…

American President JOHN ADAMS (1735-1826) had an ARIES MOON in his natal chart, and he was known by friends and foes alike as someone who “loved to talk”. Man was one HELL of a yapper lmao, which also means that his 3RD HOUSE MERCURY in Scorpio checks out.

JOHN CALDWELL CALHOUN (1782-1850) had 4TH HOUSE MERCURY RETROGRADE in his natal chart, which gets really fucking funny when you remember that this man was basically the father of the rhetorical foundation upon which the Confederacy was built. He was all about defending what he saw as the South’s right to their traditions - slavery, the so-called “peculiar institution” - and of course, 4th house mercury placements have the potential for tradition to be a central theme of their lifetime.

HENRY CLAY (1777-1852), who was known as “The Great Compromiser” for his political compromises that stalled the onset of the American Civil War, had a GEMINI STELLIUM in his natal chart with his Moon, Venus, and Uranus.

EDGAR ALLEN POE (1809-1849) was a famous author whose works centered around themes of death, the macabre, and psychological horror. He was the first American to earn a living exclusively through writing, a major contributor to the science fiction genre, and widely regarded today as the father of detective fiction. Fittingly, he was a SCORPIO RISING and had a PISCES STELLIUM which included his Moon, Venus, Jupiter, and Pluto.

ULYSSES S. GRANT (1822-1885) had a TAURUS SUN and CANCER MOON in his natal birth chart. Throughout his life, Grant was known as a gifted equestrian who seemed to have a natural affinity for horses.

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT (1882-1945) — y’know, the guy who literally pulled the United States out of the Great Depression during his presidency with the implementation of programs such as Social Security — had an 8TH HOUSE SATURN in his birth chart. Saturn is the planet of authority and discipline; the eighth house is commonly associated with other peoples’ money and resources.

EDMUND HILLARY (1919-2008) — the first man confirmed to have summitted Mount Everest — had a 9TH HOUSE VENUS in his natal chart. I myself have a 9th house Venus, and although I’d never even think about doing mountaineering myself, I’m still absolutely fascinated by Everest, Annapurna, and K2!

STEPHEN SONDHEIM (1930-2021), who is widely acknowledged as the man whose musicals changed the American musical theater landscape, had a 5TH HOUSE STELLIUM in his natal chart with his Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Uranus.
