Part Four; End of Trial Summary
In this fourth part of the series on Paul Manafort and his first trial I would like to review and summarize the prediction that the trial might end on August 20th.
The jury asked to stay late that night and not to adjourn at the usual 5:30 PM time. There was no further announcement and they met again the following morning. That afternoon the jury came back to the court and announced that Manafort had been found guilty on 8 of the 18 charges. As it turned out, the Jury had been hoping to complete its work that night of the 20th but one juror could not be swayed in her belief that 10 of the 18 accounts were not of sufficient proof to find Manafort guilty. Those last several hours were used by the other jury members to lay out the information before her, step by step. She could not be budged in her opinions.
The diurnally Advanced chart for the following morning/day is shown below.
This trial had lots of drama. Yes, the outcome seemed to be certain; a guilty verdict was likely because of the high level of documentation. But, the whole investigation by Special Counsel Mueller into ‘russian hacking and collusion’ into the 2016 national election depended upon solid progress. Anything less would undermine his security against a hostile GOP-dominated Senate chamber. (Photo taken from Google images for ‘Story Tellers.’)
The t/Moon had moved from its opposition to the n/Sun to Capricorn in the intervening few days. It is now in the 10th house of life-goals and public image where it squares the n/Sun in the first. In Return charts the t/Sun and n/Sun can represent oneself or another who represents an authority.
Since this t/Moon is in the 10th house I look at the n/Sun and see it and the n/MC being in the first house. I decide that n/Sun represents Manafort personally dealing with the life-choices he made regarding how this trial would be conducted. I look at the t/Sun and see it in the 6th house conjoining n/Part of Fortune and n/Saturn and see that Sun as playing the role of an authority. n/PoF represents chance and change while n/Saturn represents the penalties and limitations that he faces.
n/Mercury is near the Ascendant and squares t/Saturn in the 10th house. The news will not be good. Note that n/MC is in the first house between Venus and Mars. Perhaps we will choose to see this as those on the jury who saw him as charged while others saw him as be valuable, pleasing, and not associated with the bad acts that had been documented.
t/Part of Fortune must always be looked at even if not angular. Here, it has just passed over n/Asc.; one must experience chance and change on this date.
SUMMARY. This chart is strong in itself. I picked the chart of that was one day earlier. That chart is similar to this one. So, I will settle for being one day off. Dave.
