According to Ernest Jones, his biographer, Dr. Sigmund Freud was born at 6:30 P.M. on May 6th, 1856, at Frieberg, Germany. We have selected this moment for discussion because of the terrific impact made upon society by an individual who was born at such a time. A chart of the heavens for that moment is reproduced below.
Another chart has been offered as that of Freud in other astrological literature, giving a 9:00 A.M. birth time, but we had to reject the chart at the start. We are depending on his biographer plus the fact that one look at a photograph of Freud will display all of the facial characteristics of Scorpio rising -- not Cancer.
This chart shows Scorpio on the ascendent, with its ruling planet, Mars, in Libra near the 12th Cusp of the chart. At the outset, we find Scorpio, representing the Family Survival Dynamic, at the ascendent. We find the sign of sex as the beginning of the chart. Next, we find Mars in Libra. where it is dominated by the Family Reform Dynamic Guide. Then, if we turn to the right-hand side of the chart, we find Pluto, Sun, Uranus and Mercury in Taurus, the last three within the 7th House, Pluto almost at the Cusp of the 7th. These four bodies are dominated by the Family Survival Dynamic Reactor.
Mars-in-Libra is disposited by Venus in Aries, where it is dominated by the Family Reform Dynamic. Venus is conjunct the Lunar Node, and it is disposited by Pluto in Taurus.
Out of 12 factors, 8 are in signs that pertain to family dynamics.. Four are in signs involving social dynamics, and not one factor of any kind is in a sign that involves Individual dynamics.
Under these circumstances, it becomes quite clear why sex dominates the writings of Freud. With four bodies in Taurus (FSD), there was hidden a great deal in the way of fear of the consequences of sex, and yet,both family survival and family reform factors are powerful. Freud was aware that not only are there consequences of sexual expression, but there are consequences of sex when it isn't expressed. In sex, he saw an all- powerful force that has to go somewhere. You can't lock it up in a box, because it expands and it will ultimately blow the box apart.
In this chart, the Sun is conjunct Uranus, and Uranus is conjunct the node of Mars (sex again), and Uranus is the planet of unorthodoxy. An astrologer cannot look at this part of the chart with so many family factors without concluding that before he became a doctor, Freud did some great suffering relative to matters that pertained to sex. Just the mere matter of associating with other people, with all of those 7th House planets, would be a very deep problem to Freud.. This is evidenced by the couch techniques, which for a long time became standard practice among the early psychiatrists. Freud always had the patient lie down on a couch and relax, while Freud sat at a point above the head of the patient, where the patient could not see him. This technique originated because it made Freud uncomfortable to be watched. He didn't want the patient to look at him. He couldn't stand to have people stare at him. He was timid. It was Freud's job to diagnose the patient and he didn't want this interrupted by the patient diagnosing him.
It is doubtful whether Freud ever dealt with any patient who had a more sexually explosive chart than his own, but there were reactors -- four planets in Taurus (FSR). It seems quite reasonable that in studying the sex lives of other people and in writing long technical works about his findings pertaining to sex, Freud was finding an indirect and safe method of expressing his own sexual complications. In reading his books, one should realize that Freud is writing about no patient he ever encountered quite so much as he is writing about himself. The doctor was bound hand and foot by the ropes of sex. He couldn't break away from them. They were his life and his consciousness. It is to be believed that all this caused a great deal in the way of inner suffering, but the scientist in him broke through and investigated.
We can trace this chart and its factors to a certain point, and we are left in mid-air. The ascendent is disposited by Mars in Libra. Mars is disposited by Venus in Aries. Venus is disposited by Pluto in Taurus, while Pluto, Sun, Uranus and Mercury are ALL disposited by planet ruler of Taurus, but we do not know the location of "Y" either at the time of Freud's birth or now.
Jupiter and Neptune, representing the SRD and the SSD, are both in Pisces, where they are dominated by the SSD. If Freud was not as conscious of the SSD as his student, Dr. Carl Jung, it was sure operating through him. Revolutionary as his views and books may have been at the time when he wrote them, Freud war dominated by something that went back thousands of years in history. His new technique became the interpretation of the symbols found in dreams If this was new, it was new only to a modern world and particularly to the modern medical world. The art of dream interpretation was older than the Old Testament. Even savages interpreted dreams and their symbols. In taking this road, Freud was only joining the mystics.
However, Freud's mystical interpretations were extremely limited. He saw but one kind of symbol. To him all symbols were sex symbols. If you dreamed of a staircase, you were heading up a genital canal. If you are the fellow who built the Empire State Building, you were just kidding yourself because in reality you were just trying to have a bigger male organ than your competitor. If you dreamed of almost any kind of an object, it was the male sex organ in your unconscious and if you dreamed of any kind of a cavity or a room, that was the female sex organ. Reality consisted of only objects and "no objects". Objects were male sex organs, "no objects" were female sex organs.
The effect of Freud's work was terrific. For the first time, a generation of physicians discovered that Man had emotions and thoughts as well as a physical body, that sex was not only in the body but in the mind. Having been badly beaten down by religious dogma which maintained that nobody would go to heaven if he ever thought about sex, a public began reading Freud. It became permissible to mention sex in a voice above a whisper. Society began letting loose its inhibitions.
Only because he had a medical degree did Freud escape being condemned to the ranks of the outcast mystics. Without this degree, he might have been burned at the stake as a he-witch. His medical achievements BP (before psychiatry) were so great, however, that medical men opened their minds and began to experiment. With his Moon and Saturn in Gemini, the German doctor opened up a whole new frame of reference.
It must be noted that although sex factors dominate the chart of this extraordinary man, his chart is full of restraint. All of those Taurus planets represent restraint, and that Venus is sextile to Saturn. Here is a chart completely filled with explosive factors, like his Sun-Uranus conjunction and his Uranus on the node of Mars, but there is restraint, and because there is restraint, this great sexual force becomes channeled into great work and study and a new day is created, a day of psychiatry.
We had psychologists before, but men like William James were not psychiatrists. A psychologist was soon rated below a psychiatrist. The medical profession took psychology right away from the psychologists. Freud was a medical man full of sex and vinegar. He did what the churches had fought against. He made sex respectable. He cleansed people of the sins the churches were busy creating. The remarkable thing seems to be that no religious war followed.
We have pointed out elsewhere that when you see a Big Book of a non-fictional variety, it is usually written by some Fixed Sign person. Freud had a Fixed sign on the ascendent (Scorpio) and he had four bodies in a Fixed sign (Taurus) in the 7th House. The physician created his own family He created it to a new pattern. His new family was made up of his students. There was Scorpio jealousy. Although he was a great scientist and a more than great physician, his students belonged to him. In place of an old dogma, he had partially created a new dogma. Although he had created a new frame of reference he was jealous of that frame of reference, and he did not want it subjected to competition by other new frames of reference. The FOR was sex, and the new school could have all the liberty it might desire so long as it would stay within the barbed-wire enclosures of sex. A man of Freud's accomplishments may be excused for any such weakness. It is too much that we expect him to display all the virtues.
The German physician may be excused if he considered himself unfortunate in having two students like Jung and Adler for these men listened to Freud and then looked around to see what else they might hit upon. They bent over and managed to penetrate through the strands of the barbed-wire enclosure. Although they were still convinced that sex had come to stay, they were not as deeply absorbed in its complications as their teacher. Jung went so far as to talk about the spiritual and the soul. He studied ancient symbolism involving non-sexual factors. He studied astrology. He studied the symbols of astrology. Long before Freud' the ancients had two symbols for sex. One was a scorpion the other an eagle. They were supposed to express two extremes of sexual manifestation. In his jealousy toward his runaway students and his exclusion of them from his family circle, he displayed his scorpion characteristics, but in his great work, in his efforts to free his patients from the wrong one of what Aldous Huxley refers to as the antipodes of the mind -- from Hell -- the wings of the eagle were spread. From his high perch, he can now look down upon a changed world where many of its imaginary sins have flown away with the mist. We must not forget that when Scorpio is jealous or when it is vindictive, these are only outer manifestations of inner suffering. We cannot look at this man's chart without being conscious that he was a man who suffered. It was not necessary to nail him to any cross. He was nailed to a figurative one within himself. Even in his life work, he had to go down some of those stairs into a lower world where sex manifests in its worst form where it become gross and vulgar. Yet, his was not a gross and vulgar chart. His Mars was in the refined sign of Libra. Before leaving this spectacular man, let us not overlook that he had two planets in the literary sign of Gemini, where their manifestation might have been more superficial had they not been fortified by the determination and stability of those four bodies in Taurus.
Freud had passed his 17th birthday by two months on July 26th, 1875, when across the border at Basel in Switzerland, a child was born at 7:20 P. M. This child was to become one of his students. Me was named Carl Jung. This birth data is taken from the back of a book called "THE SABIAN SYMBOLS," by Marc Edmund Jones.
Had Freud studied astrology and had he been able to completely overcome the scorpion side of his nature, he would have realized that Jung was born at the exact top of his (Freud's) lunar cycle, and here was a philosopher who could have been of much greater help than Freud ever realized. Jung's chart is given below.
There are no planets in Scorpio, the sign of sex. Mars, the sex planet, is in Sagittarius at the Cusp of the 11th house Jung has two planets in Taurus, and he has the ascendent square to both the node of Mars, and Uranus in the chart of Freud. Since we have already emphasized the breaks or separations and estrangements that are brought about through Mars-Uranus conditions, it is not difficult to see why these two men broke off.
In many ways, this chart is just as extraordinary as that of Freud, but the pattern of the two charts is completely different. The genius of Aquarius is at the ascendent, but just beneath it is the restricting Saturn, although it is still dominated by Uranus because it is in the sign of Uranus, Aquarius.
Jupiter is in Libra at the 9th Cusp, giving all the qualifications of the philosopher, but the saddest part of the whole story lies in the fact that despite his many other accomplishments, Jung never became a mathematician. He has the ability to understand mathematical principles, but he is beating all around the mathematical bush without knowing it. He sees patterns and designs, but nowhere do we find evidence that he is conscious of the fact that they are mathematical patterns and designs. With his Sun square Neptune, he is somewhat swallowed in mysticism, and he never actually sees the pattern of the whole. He has nothing in Gemini to make him a literary man, and he is noted for his inability to express himself. He has a lot to say but doesn't know how to say it.
Jung has never received as great attention in America as in Europe. The scorpion reaction of Freud to Jung is carried on to a great extent by psychiatric followers of Freud. Jung gains a far greater following in Europe. There are those who are against his views because he was once a Hitler appointee. Many in the fields of psychiatry and psychology have no desire to broaden their frames of reference, and to become interested in Jung is to broaden one's frame of reference. Little interest has been shown in the fact that he never treats a patient unless he can see the patient's horoscope. In fact, the first published word of Jung's use of astrology did not appear in either America or Europe but in an interview published in a magazine in India.
An Aquarian ascendent plus Sun and Uranus in Leo makes Jung a progressive, but Saturn so near the ascendent is a great limitation. He tries not to travel too far ahead of society and his colleagues. His work is restrained. His writing difficulties may have much to do with his Neptune-in-Taurus in the 3rd, the literary House, afflicted by the Sun, which rules the 7th House. Because Jung investigates many realms that are unknown to orthodoxy, it is more than difficult for him to find a language that orthodoxy would understand. He employs many words, but they have to be picked apart word by word in every effort to make them clear. You may read several paragraphs of Jung and have no conception of what he is talking about. Ho fails to get his words to form clear pictures. His words are quite likely to portray mist and fog. Freud was a mystic, but Jung writes like one, while Freud didn't. Some other physician would stay away from so many mystical subjects, but Jung takes journeys out side of everybody's barbed wire entanglements. You may find him playing with Yoga or Tarot cards. His work lacks not only limitations but form. He takes in a great deal of territory. He goes far beyond the "respectable." These are characteristics of Aquarius and Leo, but with Saturn close to the Ascendent, he is ever in contact with the orthodox world that lies behind him. Yet, when you catch up with what he is doing now, he is doing something else again. Freud never tried to catch up with him. He was content to remain within the security of his sex. Jung could see other motivations than sex in Man. He was curious. He had great respect for the ancients. He tried to delve into things into which they had delved. Nevertheless, his contributions have been many. He gave us introverts and extroverts, and note that he is a combination of both, Sun and Uranus in Leo (extrovert) and Mercury and Venus in Cancer (introvert). More than Freud, he is living years ahead of his time, and it is very likely that the day will come when he will gain mere attention than Freud. There is a good deal of dogma to Freud's work. Jung is more open-minded. Yet, the extent of Freud's open-mindedness, where his own work was not concerned, is demonstrated by a letter written by him and published in the winter, 1957, issue of TOMORROW Magazine, wherein he told a Dr. Nandor Foder that the pranks of a so-called poltergeist were a strain on a man who is unwilling to believe in supernormal "happenings." In case you don't know what a poltergeist is, it is a spook who is also a juvenile delinquent, going around knocking on doors and walls at night just to keep you awake and scare the pajamas off you. Harry Truman was bothered by one when he lived in the White House, and some thought it was Abe Lincoln or some dead Republican. Others say that Eleanor Roosevelt can tell you quite a bit about them.
With Mars in Sagittarius, in the 11th House of his horoscope and well aspected by both Jupiter and Saturn, it is unlikely that sex was ever any kind of a problem to Jung. It was a problem to Freud and he had to stay with it.
There are thousands of things in these two horoscopes that we will have no time nor room to talk about. The student can find much for study, but it will be helpful only to the extent that he becomes familiar with the lives and work of these two men The same with other charts of famous people. If you can know the charts and know the men or women, you can learn much by seeing how the men lived within the pattern of their own charts.
Jung's Saturn so near the Ascendent would have worked quit differently had it been in some other zodiacal sign. It would then have offered a much greater restriction. His sense of duty would never have allowed him to leave Freud, but Aquarius, the IRG, will never allow things to stay as they are. The direction finder is always aimed at something in the future.
Very important is the square of Sun to Neptune in Jung's chart. Elsewhere, we find that this aspect makes a person very sensitive, sensitive to things that other people know nothing about. Women with this aspect are often classified as immoral, but in the past, the word immorality has been applied to mean the conduct of anyone who may think for himself or herself. If you do not follow the rules that have been set up by mentally inferior people, you are apt to be classified as immoral. The person with this aspect senses things. Such things may not be interpreted correctly, but they are sensed.
We see definite evidence of this aspect in Jung's new term, "the collective unconscious." This term was a daring innovation, but evidence of the need of such a term was everywhere, while all orthodoxy wore blinders to avoid seeing it. No one could have read the work of Boris Sidis at the beginning of the century, at a time when Jung was only 25 years old, without sensing the collective unconscious unless one had been rigidly trained not to sense anything outside of a biased textbook. Why did army horses stage stampedes in different countries on the same day? It could not have been Communist agents at work for there were no Communist agents at that time. Neptune represents the Social Survival Dynamic, and we find it working overtime through Jung. He has proved to be a man without mental limitations, and he has had so much territory to explore that he has displayed what astrologers have long associated with Neptune. He has displayed a great deal of chaos in his thinking. We have found him investigating the ancient wisdom of the Chinese as well as that of the Hindus. To the occidental5 he has committed the great sin of becoming aware of the teachings of the Orientals. He has shown the psychologists how to become "aware" to what they have been unaware. In view of this chart, with its Aquarius rising, Uranus near the descendent, Sun 11 degrees away from Uranus, we are forced to view Jung as a man of the future rather than a man of the past. He is far ahead of his time. It will take future generations to interpret what he has been talking about, or what he has been trying to write about.
For some time, we have suspected that planet "Z" is now around 20-Pisces. We wish to emphasize that we may be all wrong about this, and we want any student to consider any such thought with the very greatest of skepticism. However, if the motion of the planet in this part of its orbit happens to be approximately one degree in three years5 it would mean that in the first House of Jung's chart, Saturn is conjunct "Z" in Aquarius, and if this happened to be true, we would have an excellent explanation of Jung's difficulty of expression, because "Z" would be the literary planet more than Mercury. His difficulty of expression is certainly not indicated by his Mercury, for we find it conjunct Venus and sextile to the Moon. His difficulty in writing has not prevented him from writing many books, but people do not understand them. He doesn't create good word pictures. His own statement is that he can't write, that he has difficulty explaining his own thoughts.
However, although we have been impressed by certain evidence leading us to believe that "Z" may be in Pisces and that it may be moving at a rate close to one degree in three years, we can't place too great emphasis on the fact that this evidence must not be considered as tangible. It is all right for the student to play around with this possibility, but we urge against any conclusion unless the student's own experience tends to confirm any such conclusion. Since we have stated that we believe the planet may be around 20-Pisces at this time, we must date our remark as of April 13th, 1957.
If we are wrong in our suspicion as to the present location of this planet, and if students take our suspicions seriously without confirmation, then our remarks could be very detrimental, and we do not want to take the responsibility for misleading anyone.
We find another limitation in this chart of Jung. Although Jupiter, representing the SRD is well placed in Libra and well aspected by both Mars and Saturn, it is exactly square to the nodes of Saturn.
It is important to note the great difference between the charts of Freud and Jung. In Freud's chart we have the great over-emphasis on family factors and sex is the motivating family force. In Jung's chart, we find great emphasis on individual reform factors, which prevents him from tying himself down to one thing. We do not find the insecurity in his chart that exists in the chart of Freud, although there are some factors of insecurity. He still has Mercury and Venus in Cancer, and he has Neptune, Moon and Pluto in Taurus. Had it not been for these three Taurus planets, it is doubtful whether he would ever have been tied up with Freud in the first place. He has Pluto on Freud's Neptune, the Moon on Freud's Sun, and Pluto between Freud's Uranus and Mercury. Thus, we do see good reason for his original association with Freud, but his Leo-Aquarius factors had to send him on his own explorations and had to develop his own individuality. It is quite likely that his Neptune on Freud's Pluto contributed a great deal to Freud's reaction to Jung's independent course. Freud seemed to feel that he had been betrayed. He was bitterly disappointed with both Jung and Adler. When they didn't remain as his children and loyal followers, he wanted no part of them. It was all right for Freud to open up a new frame of reference, but it was not right for his students to do so. As so often happens with the sign Scorpio, the attitude is quite likely to be, "Don't do as I do, do as I tell you to do."
The most occupied zodiacal sign in these two charts combined is Taurus. There are 7 factors in Taurus. This has as many as in the last six signs of the zodiac, and there are no factors in the other two Earth signs, Virgo and Capricorn. However, we must not associate this with the fact that they are both psychologists, because as we have pointed out in a number of different places, people who write long books of a non-fictional variety are quite often those with an excess of planets in Taurus. This does not apply to people who write short material like magazine articles. Planets in Gemini seem to be more useful in this connection.
Freud has no planets in Sagittarius, sign of social revolution, the SRD, which Jung has Mars in Sagittarius. We might think of Freud as having brought about a type of social revolution until we realize that the principal part of his work, dream interpretation from dream symbols, was as old as the hills. Actually, all he ever did was confine the old conception down to one thing --sex. The ancients had seen dreams as prophetic. Freud excluded all this from his thinking. Compared with all other views on the interpretation of dream symbols, Freud put his mind in one grove and stayed right there. To anyone who has explored greater possibilities as to the interpretation of dream symbols, Freud was in a rut, a sexual rut. Yet, there is reason to believe that his actual views may have been much broader than any ever published. If his work may have appeared radical, we must admit that he succeeded in one thing magnificently. He stayed within the limitations of what his colleagues in the medical profession have been willing to accept. He didn't tell any of them about his views on any poltergeist phenomenon. Had he written one book along these lines he might have been condemned to the world of the damned. With his four planets in Taurus and his Scorpio ascendent, he was practical. The medical profession had heard of sex before. It had even encountered it. His books were written at a time when society was ready to climb out of its pit of sexual hypocrisy, and they were well timed. They would have been received differently in the year 1850. Those people who were celebrating prohibition and the roaring 20's, or at least many of them, were ready for Freud. They were ready to be told that sex might be a human dynamic rather than a sin. It was a relief to get rid of a guilt complex. Even people who were going to church on Sunday felt better about what they had done on Saturday night.
The third chart is that of a man whom both Freud and Jung might have found interesting for study. His name was Jimmy T Hines. You may not know much about Jimmy Hines unless you come from New York. He died in 1957, and his death stimulates us to include his chart here. He was born on December 18th, 1876, time unknown. How can we find out when he was born? Jimmy had a protruding nose. Evangeline Adams called it the bird-beak- type nose. Its profile was more of an equilateral triangle than other people's noses. A line from the bridge to the tip of the nose is more nearly equal to a line from the tip to the upper extremity of the nose. Experience will teach you that this type of a nose is associated with the sign Gemini. There are no planets in Gemini in this chart. Under these circumstances, we have a key, and we gamble. We try a chart with Gemini rising. Because we do not know what degree of Gemini might be rising, we start with the first degree and see what happens. The result is interesting, because we find Saturn close to the 10th Cusp. Of Saturn in this position, astrologers from way back have said that the person will rise to great height only to fall. Napoleon and Mussolini had the planet in this position. Jimmy Hines was one of the greatest political powers in the United States, but he wound up in Sing Sing prison. It was his conviction that made Thomas E. Dewey governor of the state of New York.
Whether Jimmy was a criminal or a great humanitarian was all a matter of what you chose as your frame of reference. Like his father and his grandfather, Jimmy was a blacksmith, but they all had a flair for politics. Officially, Jimmy never rose higher than a District Leader, but he was the top man in Tammany Hall, if not officially. The top men were all there only because Jimmy put them there. There was a hard and a soft side to Jimmy. He was soft spoken, even tempered. He could afford to be, because physically, he could lick his weight in wildcats, and everybody knew it. He was sympathetic, and anyone in trouble could go see Jimmy and get help. All his life, he did favors for people, and his group of friends grew and grew To Jimmy, these people were all a part of his family, and they could bring their friends to get help from Jimmy. The bosses of Tammany Hall did not want Jimmy around. They were very powerful. They couldn't overthrow him in his district because the people there wanted him and voted for him. Strong arm methods were employed. They would drive him out, but when thugs were employed to dispose of Jimmy, they turned up beaten to a pulp, and Jimmy did it alone. He didn't like Boss Murphy of Tammany, and because Murphy was backing Al Smith for the presidency, Hines backed Roosevelt, and is generally credited as being the man who threw the final weight to effect the nomination of FDR. Once in Washington, Franklin Roosevelt began building up the real power of Jimmy Hines. Patronage did not go to Tammany Hall. It went to Jimmy Hines, and little by little, Jimmy became the real boss behind Tammany.
During Prohibition, Jimmy was a friend of all the big bootleggers, and when Prohibition went out, the bootleggers had to go somewhere. Some of them became labor leaders under the New Deal. Others went into the numbers racket. If you lived in New York and you were in Democratic politics, you were a member of Jimmy's family or you were not. Being a member of Jimmy's family was the only credential you needed. If you were a member of this family, you had security. You could always get help. If the police got after you, Jimmy would tell them to leave you alone, and then he would tell you to behave yourself. If somebody sued you, Jimmy would phone the judge and tell him what his decision was to be. The bookmakers were all on Jimmy's side, too. One bookmaker had a very luxurious apartment on 72nd Street where, from 3 to 7 P.M., the biggest stockbrokers the high- est judges, the biggest people in politics, used to drop in. Beautiful women, most of them married, also dropped in. The favorite drink was an Alexander, for the bookmaker made the best Alexanders in New York. The apartment was filled with power, Alexanders, romance, and sex until 7 P.M. and then everybody became respectable and went home to his or her own spouse. It was all in the spirit of fun and everybody had a good time. All of these people were friends of Jimmy Hines. If you had a lawsuit against you, here was the place to talk it over personally with the judge. If he wasn't there, they'd get him there. The judge would sip an Alexander, slap you on the back, and tell you, "Don't you worry about a thing." If you were invited to this apartment, you were a family man or woman, because you were part of the family of Jimmy Hines, and real family people stick together. Note Jimmy's family planets, Venus and Mars in Scorpio, Neptune and Pluto in Taurus.
Jimmy was a religious man. He went to church on Sunday. He was bringing about his own social revolution (Sun and Jupiter in Sagittarius). He never hurt anybody if he could find another way out. He was kind, sympathetic and compassionate. He fed the poor. He helped out these who were in trouble. He had his own ideas and conceptions about morals. He spent thousands of dollars entertaining children. Nobody in Washington was more important if some kid on the block wanted to talk to Jimmy. The kid's problem came first.
First came the Seabury Investigation, but Seabury didn't go after Hines. He questioned him and then described him as a lovable scoundrel. But, Tom Dewey was a young Aries man. He was ambitious. He became District Attorney and saw the governorship ahead. How else could you get there more quickly than to "get"Jimmy Hines? Criminals were called in and blackmailed. The way not to be prosecuted was to squeal on Jimmy Hines. Some of them tied Jimmy with Dutch Schultz and the numbers racket. Dewey got an indictment, but the judge, for there had to be a judge, declared a mistrial and the case was over. It would have been the end but for the determination. of Dewey. There was a new trial, and a new judge. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty. After all, Uranus had gone almost three-quarters of the way around the circle since Jimmy was born, and it was now in opposition to Jimmy's Mars. He was convicted in January, 1939.. Uranus was stationary at 13-Taurus. Jimmy's Mars was 12-Scorpio. This was the end of Jimmy's family. Outside the court house, the streets were filled with people, awaiting the verdict. After it was announced, word reached the street that he had been acquitted. This was an error, but cheers went up. The crowd was in a frenzy of excitement. Jimmy heard their cheers. He thought they were cheering his conviction. He was a confused man.
Tom Dewey went to Albany and became governor. Jimmy Hines wet to jail. However, you couldn't break the power of Hines by putting him in jail unless you put all of his friends in jail also, and there were not enough prisons in the country to house Jimmy's friends. Now, Dewey was the political power. In New York state affairs, he was just as much of a dictator as Hines had ever been, but there was the possibility of trouble in that jail cell. Power is more important than justice to most politicians. Even in jail, Hines was dangerous, and they knew that Hines was tired of sitting in jail. At first, the Parole Board would not consider letting Hines out, but then a better idea came along. Hines, under the right conditions, might be less dangerous politically outside of jail than in. Hines was given a conditioned parole. He was allowed to leave jail so long as he stayed out of politics and did not mix with politicians or public officials of any kind. That way, he would not be dangerous to the new political powers, not near as dangerous as he was in that jail cell. Jimmy walked out of jail, moved to Long Beach, L.I., and finally died in the Memorial Hospital there. Meanwhile, the race track scandal broke out in the Dewey administration, and the Democrats regained their power anyway. They elected a Democratic governor of New York State. Dewey had tried to reach the White House, but he couldn't beat Harry Truman. How is a student to interpret this chart? Is it the chart of a criminal? Do criminals a special type of chart? The answer is NO. It's all a matter of your frame of reference, but people with Saturn in Pisces often get themselves into plenty of trouble in one way or another, because they have a different idea of what is right and wrong from a lot of other people.
