2017 was a horrible year for Paul Ryan. He could be the most unpopular politician in America. Progressed Sun in his chart was opposition birth chart Pluto all year.
Ryan’s in charge of Congress and the Republican Congress is not delivering. It’s failing to keep key promises and Ryan is bearing the full brunt of the blame-game.
His approval rating in a July 2017 survey stood at 34%.
Ryan took over as Congressional leader on October 29, 2015 and in January 2017 the Republicans claimed control of both Congress and the Senate but the Congressman from Wisconsin has failed to attain a major achievement.
Now, in November 2017, he’s presenting legislation to rewrite the US tax code and his 19 year Congressional career is on the line.
Defeat in Congress or the Senate could spell disaster and Ryan’s progressed chart is forecasting drastic developments when it comes to his career. It’s crunch time.
Ryan espouses free-market principles and a belief that lower taxes and a streamlined tax code can help businesses, the economy and even the poor and impoverished.
But his tax reforms have become Trump’s tax cuts and what the new tax bill would actually do, whom it could benefit and how much it would cost has become a very messy, complex message.
Paul Ryan’s chart progressed to November 30, 2017
Birth certificate data is January 29, 1970 at 2.37am CST: 89W01; 42N41 (Janesville, Wisconsin)
The Sun – planet of politics – in house 2 dominates and his desire for power and significance (Sun) drove him to the political arena.
But in November 2017 progressed Sun at 27 Pieces 11 in house 4 is opposition (separation) birth chart Pluto at 27 Virgo 09R in house 10 (his popularity and career) and this high-discord Sun progression is undermining his power and authority.
It’s his progressed chart’s hot-spot and reaches peak power and discord on November 22, 2017 and will end on November 22, 2018.
Birth chart Sun is square (obstacle) Jupiter and Saturn and sesquisquare (agitation) Pluto; and Pluto is opposition (separation) Mars.
High-discord Sun progressions undermine his ability to exercise power and control. And high discord Pluto progressions mark for problems with groups, subtle force and coercion.
Coercion, and the intimidation and threats it implies, is a high discord experience.
The Republican Party is a group and Ryan’s problem has been his inability to exercise control and unite the group.
Birth chart Sun is in house 2 (his finances) so this high discord Sun progression marks for events adversely affecting his finances and income stream.
House 10 discord marks for reputational damage, unpopularity and career problems – career changes and loss of job.
Other progressed aspects
Progressed Mars – planet of strife, haste and energized effort – at 7 Taurus 56 in house 5 is inconjunct birth chart Uranus – planet of sudden events, change agents and change – at 8 Libra 40R in house 10.
This aspect activates the birth chart Mars-Uranus opposition and marks for sudden changes to his career.
Ryan is married (house 7) with young children (house 5) but with Mars in house 4 (his home life) opposition (separation) Uranus and Pluto in house 10 (his career) his job and the endless fundraising and travel separates him from his family.
Progressed Venus – at 9 Aries 55 in house 4 – is square progressed ascendant at 9 Capricorn 30 in house 2. Venus is cusp ruler of house 6 (work) and progressed aspects to house 6 mark for events involving changes to the work he does and where he does it.
And progressed Midheaven – his reputation and publicity – at 5 Scorpio 49 is conjunction birth chart Jupiter at 5 Scorpio 15 in house 11 (his friends and supporters).
Accurate start, peak and end dates for Midheaven progressions require a precise birth time and Ryan’s has a +/- one minute margin of error so his Midheaven progression dates won’t be 100% reliable.
Based on the recorded birth time the progressed Midheaven-birth chart Jupiter conjunction was perfect in May, 2017 and will end in May 2018. And he’s had strong support (Jupiter) from the people who matter most in keeping his job: his friends in Congress.
But on August 6, 2017 progressed Midheaven moved to form an opposition (separation) aspect with progressed Saturn – planet of loss – at 6 Taurus 32 in house 5 so the support is fading and the adversity is increasing.
This aspect will reach peak power and discord in September 2018 and end in November 2019.
Progressed aspects do not forecast inevitable events but Ryan’s progressed chart does indicate that his days as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives are numbered and they were.
On April 11, 2018 he announced that we would not be running for re-election in the upcoming November election.
His chart progressed to April 11, 2018
Event markers are a progressed aspect to Sun and the ruler of house 10 or Midheaven with discord predominant.
Progressed Sun at 27 Pisces 32 in house 4 was opposition birth chart Pluto at 27 Virgo 08R in house 10; and progressed Mars at 8 Taurus 11 in house 5 was square birth chart Sun at 9 Aquarius 01 in house 2.
