Joseph Kennedy's Birth Chart, 9/18/88, Boston
*Powerful Family.* Kennedy would become a wealthy man after entering the moonshine business during Prohibition and it would help him gain favor later for his sons, opening doors that enabled powerful presidential campaigns.
In the 9th house of publishing there will be many (Pluto) articles (Gemini) about his family. Legal (9th) boundaries (Neptune: illusive) were not too much of a concern. Ability to deceive the legal system using power.
Black Moon Lilith At Algol
“Are we cursed?” Ted Kennedy, youngest son of Joe Sr. is said to have asked, regarding his family, after the Chappaquidick scandal started to unfold. It would ultimately ruin his run for the presidency and his family’s dream of another Kennedy in the Executive Office.
After the married Senator’s boozy night out with his sailing buddies (and the “boiler room girls”) on July 18, 1969, Kennedy accidentally took a wrong turn and drove his car off a bridge and his passenger, Mary Jo, who had been at the party, was killed. Throughout all of the birth and crime charts of the Kennedy family, you will often see the number/degree of the devil, 18, or the degree representing a curse, 8. Refer to the degree key for more info.
When Algol shows up in a birth chart, it is a marker for alcoholism. So if you are more wont to drink, and with Algol presenting the temptation, you will likely encounter the devil when you pour a scotch.
Generations of Kennedys have been plagued by alcoholism and secret sex sex scandals that were published in the paper over decades. Thousands of books and articles have probably been written about the family (Pluto in 9th house Gemini).
*In ancient astrology, the fixed star Algol can show perpetual lies and alcohol (the word derived by Algol).
Joe Sr.’s birth chart (left) shows that his life would show assassinations (15/Uranus), illegal alcohol trade (12th house illegal) and that his kids were cursed. They would either endure a plane crash (both a daughter and son) or an assassination.
Note there is a sexy female (or females) that were femme fatale types (Black Moon Lilith + Venus). With POF at 8°, and so close to Venus, could it have been possible a woman may have put a curse on him? It wouldn’t surprise me if it was told somewhere that Kennedy used sexy ladies to help him with his Moonshine business. The temptation of women was always so great among the Kennedys… the worlds most famous philanderers. With BML in the 8th, there was always a secret woman on the side (8th/sex).
The Literal Side of a Chart
It’s always amazing to see how charts can be so literal, not just in celebrity birth charts but in crime charts too. In Joe’s chart, look at the 12th house of secrets: Moonshine (Moon + Sun, Sun “a light” or “to shine”). Secret moonshine. Historians reject that Kennedy was involved in bootlegging, but his chart says otherwise. Planets in the 12th show things you are able to keep secret. And for Kennedy, that included women (Venus/12th). In crime charts, you can look to Mercury to see what the person’s mind is throughout one’s life. Mercury, hemmed in by a few planets shows his mind was on the White House for his sons: “President’s House” (Sun “president,” Moon: home), affairs with women and being near famous (Moon “famous”) presidents. Kennedy was good friends with President Roosevelt for many years.
