“It is not only vain, but wicked, in a legislature to frame laws in opposition to the laws of nature, and to arm them with the terrors of death. This is truly creating crimes in order to punish them.” — Thomas Jefferson -(1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President Source: Note on the Crimes Bill, 1779#
There is a commonly used natal chart for Thomas Jefferson (birth time unverified) having Aquarius, sign of humanitarianism, rising, and with Sun in Aries, Moon in Sagittarius.
(Abe Lincoln has the same ASC–and AQ rising usually gives a long, narrow face.)
The Sun Ari/Moon Sag personality blend is a Fire-Fire combo that gives visionary abilities, impatience, a philosophical streak, and outspokenness. Outspokenness? Jefferson is known for not saying much and mumbling when he did! Yet if you can be outspoken on paper, then this may be his correct blend.
Plus, Sun Ari/Moon Sag can indicate total self-absorption to the point that the capacity to relate to others remains childlike. Hmm. Could be.
So let’s consider the Image for Integration for this blend:
“A child shoots an arrow towards the enchanted castle in the distance as he follows the road less travelled.” (’Sun Sign-Moon Sign’ by Chas & Suzi Harvey.)
Actually that tallies rather well with the view of Jefferson we’ve been sold, doesn’t it?
