Astrology And The (Literal) Fall Of Jerry Falwell Jr.

Not too long ago, I wrote here about the case of Jerry Falwell Jr, President of Liberty University. As you may recall, he has recently fallen into disgrace because of an alleged relationship between Jerry’s wife and the pool boy. Specifically, a relationship which Jerry would take a great deal of delight in watching from his chair in the corner of the room.

(But of course, why would a God-fearing man with a long record of calling out sexual iniquities in others do something like that?)

Anyway, one thing I didn’t mention is the role of Mars in a person’s sex drive. Jerry (born June 17th 1962, 9:13 PM, Lynchburg Virginia) has a Mars just like everyone else. In his case, it is in Taurus, and Uranus is approaching the conjunction to it. So maybe we shouldn’t be too surprised that something like this came to light.

But Mars also rules “accidents causing injury.” It turns out that on August 30th at around 11:00 PM, Jerry called his wife and said that he was bleeding after a fall down the stairs. She got home around 2:30 AM and the doors were still locked. She called 911 and help arrived. The 911 operator asked Mrs Falwell if Jerry had been drinking. She said “yes.” When the operator asked if Jerry had been drinking heavily she said “I’m not going to answer that question.”

(But of course, why would a God-fearing man with a long record of lecturing the students at Liberty University about the evils of alcohol get drunk enough to fall down the stairs?)

I’d just like to point out that, by annual profections, Jerry is now in a “Mars year.” This will naturally tend to make Mars issues more prominent between now and his next birthday. And by “Mars issues, I mean specifically “sex and accidents.” Furthermore, I should note that his Mars’s debilitated in Taurus, and it is opposite his Neptune and is the traditional ruler of his Neptune. Not that this means he must be prone to drunken accidents… But it certainly helps.

So naturally, on the evening of August 30th as the local Midheaven approached Jerry’s Saturn, and the degree of his Mars was rising on the Eastern horizon, Jerry took a header down his stairs receiving several lacerations to his face.

(But of course, why would a decent and compassionate astrologer like me go to all the trouble to pointing this out? It wouldn’t be just because I like to see hypocrites get what’s coming to them, would it?)

Nope. Not at all.
