Ben Shapiro is an interesting fella, more coherent in his interviews online than in the video kinser posted. He's very articulate and a good talker, and a man of principle, although I disagree with most of his principles. On the videos of his interviews on the Rubin Report, a couple of people said he should run for president. He has some presence as an editor of publications (including breitbart) as well as his you tube channel, so that's my cue; I ran his chart (birthtime unknown) through my horoscope scoring system to see how he would fare if HE ran.
Not well! He has the same score as someone quite opposite to him politically, Sen. Kamala Harris, 4-14. He has some aspects that I fully expected: Mars sextile Mercury, a sharp quick talker, and a very outstanding "handle planet" Moon in Gemini, which again emphasizes his ability to communicate. A handle planet dominates a chart because it's on one side of it while all the other planets are on the other side. And in 1984, the planets were clustered quite closely. So he gets 4 points for his communication ability (Mercury also conjunct Jupiter), so what's wrong with him as a would-be candidate according to his chart? Well believe it or not he has the same conjunction as me and just as tight: Mars conj. Pluto, and in Scorpio yet. Hillary has this conjunction too, and Al Gore, as well as Ben Carson, Rudy Guiliani and a few others. It indicates acting on strong principles, but it can be over-the-top passionate and just a bit pushy or ruthless. You know, like Hillary and Al. And he has Mars sextile Neptune too (which automatically accompanies Mars conj. Pluto in these times), which has the name of a crusader. Again, like that other Ben, but also Hillary and Al and also Nancy Pelosi, Tulsi Gabbard and a lot of other folks on the left that he doesn't like.
But he's a crusader on the right, and he has Mercury sextile Pluto (that goes along with sextile to Mars, of course), which Bernie Sanders has, which I surmise makes a candidate too outspoken and radical. In other words, all these aspects show that Ben Shapiro is just too outspoken and forthright about his opinions to be a good politician. He might be a good spokesman for his beliefs, but politicians usually have to be more "politic" about what they say. And he has Moon opposite Uranus too, like Trump and Hillary; too unconventional in his approach, and perhaps emotionally unstable. Of course he's a Capricorn like Ted Cruz, which is a sign that inclines strongly conservative, and Sun square Mars and Pluto too, and he believes in war and fighting generally, as is evident in his Imagine rant as well as his interviews. Sun sq. Mars, although it shows warlike aggressiveness, does not have a negative score for a candidate, but he gets more negative points from his pessimistic and paranoid Saturn-Neptune semi-square. He lacks discipline too, strangely enough, with Moon opposite Venus in Sag, but again that shows he does not stifle his mouth. Oh well, conservatives; better try someone else
Of course, his score might improve if it turns out he was born late in the day; his Moon would oppose Jupiter then, which is good, but he would acquire more negative points too with Moon opposing Neptune and Mercury, so even then that's not much improvement, if any. That very-outstanding Moon in Gemini really seems typical, though, given his communication ability and involvement with the media.
