*"I'm a Leninist. Lenin wanted to destroy the state, and that's my goal, too."* Steve Bannon - Sagittarius The "state" is the government network of professionals and public servants who represent the best interests of the region or nation and run the entire infrastructure (education, health care, communications, transportation, etc.) according to laws. Steve Bannon wants to destroy all that. With no birth time, his natal configurations and midpoints tell the story. Which of the following configurations is, in the end, the most "destructive" astrologically? The obvious aspect - Mars detrimented in Libra, square Uranus of revolutionaries and iconoclasts - is that boy who doesn't fit in, likes to break things and blow them up, who upsets people, shocks, stirs up trouble and blindsides. Destructive, yes; but it's also (ironically) an explosive "birth" aspect that ripples forward to bring constructive replacements for decaying foundations. Bannon's midpoint trees variously represent his intense need to conquer, excel, show off, be admired, feared, and respected as a "genius" in whatever field he currently toils – and with Mercury at the midpoint of his Sun and Neptune, a visionary with the con artist's persuasiveness for making you buy into him too. At least, while he's with you. Until he lurches off into his next exploit and you've had time to think. All of that coupled with a thuggish, even criminal, violent streak (see his Mars-Sun-Pluto midpoint). But the most destructive, though most subtle, is Bannon's Saturn conjunct his Mercury-Neptune midpoint and his Venus-Mars midpoint. The psycho-sexual dynamics alone are worthy of a chapter in Psychopathia Sexualis. But these transfer directly to his financial, business, and power needs to rise above and stand out from the collective. His horoscope reveals his secret pathological insecurity about his street smarts and intelligence (his aggressive, even criminal need to prove the opposite) and the repeated discovery, over time, that his grandiose dreams and schemes are ultimately undermined by his missing a Major Flaw always present from the beginning: related to his inability to think things through – because he acts on impulse and makes up half or more of what he's talking about; to controlling his ego, impulsivity, temper and self-righteousness – which alienates everybody; and finally, his greed and inability to accept responsibility. With age, says this configuration, his mental faculties and violent streak will tend to grow increasingly problematic. It will, in the end, destroy Steve Bannon before he destroys "the state." Astrology Now! There is a lot going on behind the scenes and beneath the surface all month – financially, vocationally and emotionally. You want to speak out, and so do others. But misplaced sensitivities can build walls of silence where the opposite is needed. Still, you can accomplish a lot (perhaps more in the workaday or professional arenas than in your personal, private life – where inhibition or fear of rejection may stymie you for a time). Best to contact people at a distance (who likely play a significant role in your future plans) on or after the 10^th. In fact, the month may be unusually full of correspondence and emails, phone calls and trips – some of them highly important. Travel (and Santa) expenses can add up quickly. Budget getaways and gifts wisely. Much of what has been vague or nebulous regarding a new venture or work direction will clear up this month – again through those communications. Though it's the holidays, it's still an excellent time to start dedicating yourself long-term to a new health and exercise regimen. It will improve your outlook, sharpen your focus, relieve any anxieties – and make you feel and look better! The best possible present you could give yourself!
