Hi, I'm Joni Patry and welcome to my YouTube channel. Well today I want to talk about somebody
that's been in the news and I just like to analyze charts and see what I can see about them. Whether
you like the person or not, it's not about that. It's about understanding astrology and seeing it
work through people's charts. It's fascinating and so one person and another thing is when I
get somebody's birth time makes me want to do their chart and I have his birth time. So who
am I talking about? Pete Hegseth. He is the Secretary of Defense and he calls himself
the Secretary of War. I thought well let's see what's in his chart to see what makes somebody
like him who he is. He served in many ways in Afghanistan and all these different places in
the Middle East. He's the kind of guy that really likes to be involved in violent type situations I
guess. There's a lot of people that are what's the word a thrill seeker or they thrive on
on like this kind of adventure I guess I might say. So I thought let me show you his chart and
see what we can glean because there's a lot that that shows up in his chart about his life.
Because remember when he was going out and he was going to be appointed as the Secretary of Defense
all these scandals came out about him too. We'll see that in the chart as well. So let me scoot
over here and let's analyze his chart and another reason why he's in the news is of course because
of Iran. All the attacks on Iran and I heard Donald Trump said that Pete Hegseth said he's
going to be disappointed when the war is over. Really? So this is the kind of guy that enjoys
this kind of work. What is that going to tell us? Then I think his Mars needs to be the planet that
is of focus in his chart. I thought that before I looked at his chart. So let's pull it up and
sure enough looking at his chart he's got a Scorpio ascendant which is ruled by what? Mars.
Remember I am a sidereal Vedic astrologer. We use the old rulerships for the planet. So
Scorpio is ruled by Mars and looking at where Mars goes in his chart I consider this that the
planet that rules the first house is the chart ruler and wherever it goes in a chart speaks
volumes about what that person's interest is and what they're about. So looking at this Mars
goes to his 10th house and the 10th house is the house of career. So he is a career oriented
person. His focus, his attention will mainly be about his career and what is it? It's Mars. Mars
is the planet that deals with war and violence, weapons, machinery. All of that this is Mars.
So it goes to his 10th house and it is in Leo. Doesn't that make sense? Leo is the sign of
leadership and here he is the leader of war, secretary of defense. He is the one that calls
the shots. He is the king and the leader. It's in his 10th house and he has that very interesting
conjunction that I said represents someone that never ever gives up. You know they can be knocked
down and they are because it's not an easy aspect but they never give up. They get back up and keep
going at it till they succeed. What is that aspect? Mars conjunct Saturn or it can even be
Mars opposed Saturn. But he has Mars conjunct Saturn in the 10th house of his work. He is a
go-getter. He is determined. He is focused to make things work. He's not going to give up
till he gets what he wants and they're both in Leo. Leo is the most determined in terms of
leadership and they're in his 10th house of his work in his career. Here he is a strong
leader like it or not. That's what he's all about. Jupiter is even there which expands it all the
more. Expands that aspect of determination. The Mars Saturn and Jupiter rules the 2nd and 5th
house. It is a great planet for Scorpio Ascendant. Goes to the 10th house. It's how he makes his
money through his career and leadership because the 2nd house ruler is how you make your money.
But the most interesting thing about this chart is, I mean, there's so many interesting things.
His sun goes to the 7th house which can cause some problems in marriage and relationships.
In Vedic astrology, we look at the sun as a malefic. Why? Because, well, you can't look at
it. It's too bright and it causes combustion with planets. But here's another thing. Notice
the sun in the 7th house of relationships is opposed to Neptune in his 1st house.
That can mean there could be some possibilities of untruthfulness. I have seen that too. Neptune
opposing the sun or conjunct the sun. It can be spiritual, but for the most part,
it can be deceptive too. It can be not being completely honest about things. So,
where does that lead to? Let's look at his 8th house. The 8th house is the house that can deal
with corruption. Yes. It can deal with scandals. Yes. It can deal with addictions and things like
that. It's a problematic house. And it also is, by the way, the house of death. And he has the
ruler Venus and Mercury in the 8th house. Now, Venus rules the 7th house and it goes to the 8th
house. Problems in marriage. Yes. This is all around. And he was accused of all sorts of
infidelities and things in his marriage and scandalous affairs while he was running for
this office, this position. Not so cool. Let me say that. And Mercury in the 8th house,
it is the ruler of the 8th in the 8th. So, this exemplifies and expands what the 8th house is
about. And Mercury is with Venus, throwing, casting its energy on Venus and it rules the 8th house.
Mercury for Scorpio ascendance, by the way, is the very worst planet because it rules the 8th
and it also rules the 11th. And for the 11th house ruler to go to the 8th, he has some friends
that are not good friends. They'll tell on him that he can't get away with much because his
friends will be, well, they'll just, they'll rat on him. The ruler of the 11th, which is friends
going to the 8th house of corruption. But maybe he needed that. It's nice to have friends that
support you, but when you're doing the wrong thing, friends do need to be honest and truthful
because you know what? You got to wake up anyway, because with these planets in the 8th house,
he's got some major lessons to learn. And the 8th house is death. Let me say that. Jupiter right now
in the sky, though, is transiting Gemini. So, he's pretty much protected during all these attacks
and war. But hey, when we get Saturn coming through, Saturn can cause some problems. Now,
let's talk about that. Look where his moon is. His moon is in his 5th house, and that is the house
of creativity, talent. And he was a news reporter for a while on Fox News. So, the moon rules the
9th house, which can deal with truth reporting. It can deal with publications, the 9th house.
But the ruler of the 9th and the 5th is a great blessing. And he is blessed with good children
because of this. Such a great blessing. But that moon in Pisces can be somebody that has
really strong beliefs. And it's just, that's their way of being. They believe strongly in things. So,
he can be religious. He can be over the top, you know, into some kind of religious beliefs. But
the most important thing I want you to realize right now is we're transiting Saturn is in the
sky. It's in Pisces. He is in Sadi Sati. This is not an easy time. Even though Jupiter is giving
him great protection, Saturn is on his moon. He's going through a difficult time right now.
Don't kid yourself. And Saturn was on the moon basically for this whole year, going back to 2025.
And he's under a lot of stress, a lot of pressure, a lot of difficulty. And
Neptune's been on his moon too. He's had to wake up to a lot of truths that he probably didn't want
to hear. Saturn moon, I mean, Saturn Neptune on his moon is difficult. And the 5th house is also
said to be the house of our mind, our intelligence. And Saturn Neptune on his natal moon, it's been
there, well, I would say, yeah, since last, well, it was 7 degrees in July of 2025. So, the moon
being 5 degrees, whoa, that is interesting. Because it's been there for over a year,
well over a year. And here's another thing. Saturn and Neptune came together at 6 degrees of Pisces
around February 20th. And that's around when this war broke out. He was under undue stress
and pressure. And the moon rules the 9th house. He's had to travel to far away places to get the
job done. So, he's in a difficult time. Now, another thing that's coming up next month,
May, this month, Saturn is going to be squaring his Mercury and around throughout this year.
And Mars will come up and hit his Mercury in September. So, he is in a difficult place in
as Mars conjuncts his Mercury, end of August, early September. And this is in the 8th house.
So, he, it needs to be careful. There is, there could be a threat to his life if he's not careful
around the end of August and through September. Mars will be there and Saturn will be aspecting
it in the 8th house. So, this is critical. He needs to pay attention. But, aside from all of
that, I just wanted you to see how astrology tells us so much about a person and who they are.
Because we could see the, the qualities of being so strong and wanting to be in a fight,
you know, a strong and career being so vitally important and that he will be put in leadership
positions. But, he needed to be careful of all the scandals and things that the 8th house permits
and says about his chart. You know, can you prevent it? Can you change who you are? Absolutely.
You just have to have the awareness of what you're doing. Astrology gives you that.
