For a famous man, this governor manages to keep an astonishing low profile about what he’s actually up to. That’s in part due to a chart that has very little above the horizon except for a strident Mar-Uranus conjunction at the cusp of the 12th house, normally a trouble spot. It’s also due to Mercury in defensive Cancer right on the Ascendant which makes him extremely articulate and self-protective at the same time. You see what he intends you should see and only that, with the rest hidden below in a locomotive chart that is by nature motivated and one step ahead of the game.

Jupiter and Mercury are united in a grand water trine with the MC, so there is so much self-promotional, expansive talent here that finds every easy opportunity to get into the limelight in the most natural sort of way. Smart, expansive, and ever in touch with the public, it’s all very sensitive to what people are saying (in water) so it’s not surprising that he could burst into a legislature that opposes him, find out he’s in a disaster area, then tune into what everybody’s saying and come up smelling like roses in the end. He’s in tune, there’s no doubt about it, no matter how you look at it.

Outgoing Sun in Leo is only a few degrees from being conjunct that dark 1947 Saturn-Pluto conjunction at the cusp of the second house of money, so he alternates between outgoing entertainment and hidden power plays involving financial support, and with a tough Capricorn Moon, he works at it every minute of every day. Ask him a question and you’ll get a serious answer, even if it seems playful at the outset. All the ambition and business antennae are up all the time, and a protective accent allows him to both cover his rash Mars-Uranus with a protective foreign-ness and deliver a message that’s on target and hits below the waterline.

Current events: He never met a space he can’t fill and then burst its seams, and you can expect that of his current situation. He’s headed into a progressed Full Moon, which tends to mean you’ve gotten as far as you can go with your current situation. Does that mean reaping the rewards of governor and moving ahead yet again? It does. But how will he do it, and what space is there at the top? He’s going to let you know, soon enough. He’ll always be back, often when you least expect it.
