As you’ve undoubtedly heard, today Barack Obama announced his appointment for Commerce Secretary: New Mexico governor Bill Richardson.
Born Nov 15, 1947, Gov. Richardson shares with many people born in 1947 the determined Mars-Saturn-Pluto trio in Leo.
Read my notes and view an image of Richardson’s natal chart on my Political Astrology blog:

Now here are a few details concerning Richardson’s Water-Fire Sun Scorpio/Moon Sagittarius personality blend which tells a little of the consciousness (Sun – adult) and the unconsciousness (Moon- inner child) as they are integrated within the psyche:
This passionate combination is uncompromising and committed, loyal, forceful, and persuasive. Here is a stern judge with a zeal for truth. Intellectually discerning, this blend is intuitive and self-dramatizing, and is something of a philosopher who’s fascinated by life’s paradoxes.
This personality is at its best when given a broad canvas upon which to work, and his search for fundamental truths and answers to complex social problems shows a probing, investigative turn of mind.
However, things that belong to a different value system are baffling and seldom explored.
A good educator with the ability to communicate the broader picture, Sun Sco/Moon Sag is equally happy in politics, theater (aren’t they about the same?), and business, or a combination of all.
There is a deep instinct for self-preservation mixed with strong powers of deduction which help steer the course of life. Yet he can frustrate those close to him for when sizing up new people and situations, his deep insights are not fully revealed.
Even so, he is good within group dynamics, and his feeling for the regenerative potentials of society makes him a natural psychologist with an analytical mind that sees the larger implications of the facts.
Negatively, this combo can give Richardson a fanatical side that suddenly becomes obstinate with a tendency to moralize because he expects the world to conform to his views. (Harvey.)
Noel Tyl adds that the heavy emotional energies of Scorpio are given a lift by the Sag Moon – “…philosophy and idealism separate from emotional gambits. Honor and ethical service mark the path or focus in ones work. Principle is very important.” (’Synthesis and Counseling in Astrology’, Tyl.)
And Charles and Suzy Harvey add these *Images for Integration:
“A child gazes up at the night sky, captivated by the mystery of dark space. An alien appears, and reveals a glimpse of the child’s future as a famous astro-physicist….Picasso’s ‘Guernica.’ “
This Sun-Moon blend is shared natally by quite a varied crew of notables:
Pablo Picasso; evangelist Billy Graham; astrologer, psychologist, and statistician Michel Gauquelin; astronomer Carl Sagan; inventor and artist Louis Daguerre; actors Charles Bronson and Danny DeVito; Met star Joan Sutherland; and broadcaster/interviewer Larry King.
So far, the identity of the ‘alien’ remains a mystery.
