Source Notes: Dana Holliday quotes Troinski, B.C. given to the British AA (Data verified by LMR with Kissinger's cousin, Margot Seitelman)

There are two cities named Furth. Christof Niederwieser writes that these are the correct coordinates.
KISSINGER, Henry A.* Fuerth (Bayern) 27.5.1923“; Vol. 12 (Kir – Lag), p. 33 Bayern = Bavaria, so it’s obvious which Fuerth is the right one. Also the Homepage of this Bavarian Fuerth mentions Kissinger as one of its famous Sons: http://www.fuerth.de/index_neu.html (under “Stadtportrait > Persoenlichkeiten)"

Interpretive Reports

Check these chart interpretations:

From the Indra Report from Kepler.

From the Merlin Report from Kepler:

Asc. Conjunct Sun/Pluto: You have a strong desire to make an extra-ordinary or unusual impression on your environment. You have the ability to fascinate and sweep along others, but also can be quite inconsiderate and ruthless.

Sun in 12th house: You tend to get involved in the helping professions or in activities where your efforts are hidden, behind the scenes, unacknowledged, or unknown to the public. Asserting yourself or getting up in front of an audience may be exceedingly uncomfortable for you.

Computer produced reports are more accurate than you think.

Biography

German-American government official, advisor, negotiator and Secretary of State under President Nixon who was honored with the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977. Urbane, multilingual and brilliant, he served as Director of the Harvard University Defense Study Programs 1958-1969 and was a Professor of Government at Harvard, 1962. He is the author of "Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy," 1957, "The White House Years," 1979, "For The Record," 1982, "Years of Upheaval," 1982 and ""Diplomacy" in 1994.

The man who shaped American foreign policy in the late '60s and early '70s and who coined the phrase "power is the greatest aphrodisiac," spent a traumatic boyhood in Nazi Germany in an Orthodox Jewish family that marked Kissinger with "an odd mixture of ego and insecurity that can come from growing up smart yet persecuted." Escaping further persecutions, the family emigrated to America in 1938 where, living in New York, the 15-year-old Heinz changed his name to Henry and displayed great eagerness to please his teachers. Attending Harvard University, he joined the faculty in 1958 where he remained until Nelson Rockefeller drafted him from the classrooms of academia to become his advisor in 1969. That same year, he was appointed as assistant to President Nixon for National Security Affairs. Upon meeting First Lady Patricia Nixon for the first time, he praised her husband highly. "Haven't you seen through him yet?" she replied.

While Kissinger privately referred to Nixon as "meatball mind" and "a basket case," he became the foremost American figure in negotiations to end the Viet Nam War during the Nixon administration. In negotiations he was known for his strong penchant for duplicity and for being a complex, brilliant, dedicated diplomat who, at the same time, was secretive, manipulative and obsequious. When a peaceful agreement was finally reached in Viet Nam in 1973, earning Kissinger the Nobel Prize, his unique style of "shuttle diplomacy" won the respect of President Gerald Ford, who utilized Kissinger's mediating skills to bring about peace between Israel and the Arab states. Following a coup between these two warring factions, Kissinger was called "the twentieth century's greatest diplomatic technician" and according to the Gallop Poll, the "most admired man in America."

After Ford's administration ended in 1977, Kissinger became a member of the faculty at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. and headed a bi-partisan committee on Central America for President Ronald Reagan in 1983. In the mid '80s, Kissinger was granted a five-year $350,000 loan from Goldman Sachs and three other banks to open his own consulting firm of "Kissinger Associates," with offices in New York and Washington, where he is a "statesman for hire" and purveys strategic advice to private corporations. In addition, he undertakes diplomatic assignments for business firms and serves as national security advisor to their chairmen. Despite a complete lack of experience in business, his loans were paid in full within two years.

While Kissinger enjoys and cultivates celebrity status in academics, politics and world government, he is known to shroud any business dealings with complete secrecy. He successfully juggles his roles from the '90s as media commentator, corporate consultant and unofficial government advisor.

Kissinger's marriage to Anne Fleischer in 1949 ended in divorce in 1964. They had two children, Elizabeth and David. He made a second marriage to Nancy Maginnes on 3/30/1974 who nursed him through a heart bypass operation on 2/10/1981. They make their home in New York City. In 1999, the third and concluding volume of his memoirs was published, "Years of Renewal."

What Do You Think?

Henry Kissinger, a man renowned for sponsoring covert operations and keeping secrets, has been hired to find out how Al Qaeda was so successful in keeping their covert operations a secret. Is he too tied in with the keepers of the secrets to blow the whistle on them or is he more committed to having his last act of public service help clear the ethical cloud over his name? Only time will tell.

Update: On Dec. 13, 2002, Kissinger abruptly resigned as chairman of the commission intended to investigate the Sept. 11 attacks, informing President Bush that he could not serve if it meant revealing the clients of his consulting firm.

Like most great men he is a powerful mass of contradictions. He shares the Nobel peace prize yet whenever he travels outside the US he is at risk of being put on trial as a war criminal. Like most who live very public lives, their charts present stunningly clear examples of how astrology works. You don't get to the top unless you use all your planets to their full potential.

  1. Where in his chart do we find his penchant and talent for starting covert operations and keeping secrets?
  2. Kissinger was a global chess master. The ends justified the means as he sacrificed smaller countries to the designs of a superpower. Where in his chart can we find his love of power? What aspects bespeak power quotes like:
    • "The real distinction is between those who adapt their purposes to reality and those who seek to mold reality in the light of their purposes."
    • "People think responsibility is hard to bear. It's not. I think that sometimes it is the absence of responsibility that is harder to bear. You have a great feeling of impotence."
    • "The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer."
    • "Leaders must invoke an alchemy of great vision."
  3. His most lampooned quote "Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac" is clearly written in his natal chart. Can you find it?
