BOB WOODWARD
Famous Watergate Investigator Back in the Headlines
The Washington
Post reported on November 16 that: “In a startling development
reported in today's Washington Post, it now appears that Bob
Woodward was the first reporter to whom a senior administration
official leaked the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame.”
This was a shocker to the Post and the public.
Bob Woodward
was born on March 26, 1943 in Geneva, Illinois (time unknown)
(view chart).
Woodward is a SUN sign ARIES, the sign of the pioneer. He
and Carl Bernstein led the Watergate investigation which led
to the resignation of President Richard Nixon.
Woodward
also has the SUN trine PLUTO. The famous British astrologer,
Nicholas Campion, describes this aspect as adding emotional
power and determination to the personality, indicating a person
who can be “obstinate, secretive and interested in the
deeper and darker mysteries of life.” This just begins
to describe the character of Bob Woodward.
As this
story unfolds we will return in greater depth to the chart
of Bob Woodward. Meanwhile, there were some very obvious astrological
indicators of this event.
This
revelation came to light at the time of the FULL MOON, almost
simultaneously URANUS, the planet of surprises, moved into
direct motion, aspecting Bob Woodward's chart (his SUN in
ARIES sextile SATURN in 7 degrees GEMINI).
The planet
of communication, MERCURY, had just gone Retrograde on November
14. During a Retrograde period, past issues arise to be reviewed.
Once before Woodward had been the investigator. Now perhaps
he will be the investigated.
Bob Woodward
is only one of many reporters involved in Patrick Fitzgerald’s
ongoing investigation of the CIA leak case. (view charts of
Judith Miller
and Tim Russert
already on this site).
There
is a crisis of credibility in the United States with regard
to the Presidency, the Iraq War, and the media’s relationship
to those in power. The Washington Post’s Ombudsman,
Deborah Howell, said “This is not just the Post’s
credibility, it touches all of journalism.”
Astrological
Notes:
Woodward's
progressed SUN is at 6 degrees GEMINI, being exactly squared
by transiting URANUS at 6 degrees PISCES.
