ALBERT GORE

The astrological horoscope of Albert Gore, U.S. Vice President and main democratic contender for the next presidency is briefly looked into here. Albert Gore is a graduate of Harvard, a former newspaper reporter and respected environmentalist.

Born on the day in the year 1948 with the Libran Neptune in opposition to the Aries Sun, Al Gore is able to wield his personality with deep effect on the mass population of his country. The Sun, ruler of the chart, is very strong, the opposition is harnessed and made easy by a very dynamic Pluto, Saturn, Mars conjunction in Leo which is trine the Sun and sextile Neptune. The Sun is also exactly quintile Uranus, which adds a subtle dexterity with media and technology. Leo rises trine Jupiter, the MC sextiles Uranus and forms a fiery grand trine with the conjunction in Leo and Jupiter. This man has huge resources of spirit, energy, industry and optimism, The element fire predominates. This horoscope is extremely dynamic and loud. It roars.

How remarkable that this man has played such a quiet vice presidential role, tempering and acting to dilute the indiscretions of his boss Bill Clinton. His capricornian Moon holds the answer to this moderator element in his make up. and gives a clue to his concern for environmental issues( especially when considered in perspective with his earthy Venus in Taurus). At last quarter this Moon serves to throw a pragmatic harness on his fiery personality, even adding a slightly dour complexion to his character. The Moon's placement confers great patience and resilience on an otherwise explosive temperament. This man is a natural leader. He is the boss. Leo rises, this man will in the end not compromise. The conjunction of Mars. Saturn and Pluto in this sign is a lavish mix of action control and transformation, he wields plutonium, he stands up to all, nothing hidden here, his lion heart he wears on his sleeve.

Problems and challenges? Venus is opposition Chiron and square Mars. He has a gentler side at variance with and dominated by his urge for dominance. Problems arise as a consequence of this planetary picture. His feminine self (his anima) is also a strong feature of his make up, to some he will appear to show sympathy (political or otherwise) with inappropriate quarters. Love and action are not always working together here. Also Mercury forms an applying square to Uranus, sudden upsets are likely, deviations and impressions are unpredictable and sudden. The proverbial banana skin lies in wait. His mind is fluid, he responds and reacts to suggestion. He is impressionable to communication, and open to the subliminal suggestion. The whisper in the ear of this man could set armies in motion. He must choose his advisors and friends carefully.

In conclusion this man is a winner and a leader. He is loyal and brave, he is no faint heart or waverer. The potential for statesmanship is high, as is the promise of an ecologically sound and financially pragmatic manager. Reliability and dependability exist here. The mind of this man reaches deeply for answers to problems and unusual circumstances which will confront him often along the way.
