I don’t have Mike Pence’s birth time so I can’t do an accurate chart for him. I do have one for Tim Kaine, however. Before the debate tonight let’s look at the chart of the man who wants to be our next Vice President.
Like Secretary Clinton, Senator Kaine has his Sun in the twelfth house. This is normally not a “normal” placement for a politician because it builds in a natural reserve and even secretiveness. Both Democratic candidates prefer the work instead of the “smoozing” aspect of the work. Senator Kaine benefits from Mercury conjuncting his Sun which gives him more charisma, more appeal than Secretary Clinton. In his case, it comes across as a kind of folksy charm.
With his Moon in communicative Gemini in the third house, a house that Gemini likes, no one should underestimate his ability to get his point across. He is battling two retrogrades in his fifth house – that of creativity and expression – so while he isn’t a speaker on par with a President Obama or President Bill Clinton, when he is one-on-one he gets his point across.
Neptune and Jupiter surrounding his South Node in the mystical eighth house gives him his religious and missionary zeal. However, when I do a progressed chart – moving planets to their current position in his chart, he has a bit too many planets hitting his eighth house in the next few years. At its core, this is the house of death, dying and rebirth – so I hope he experiences more of the rebirth and personal transformation aspect of this house.
He is not flashy, he is good at hiding his brains behind a plain exterior but no one should underestimate Senator Kaine’s brains or ability to get his point across in the end.
