Tucker's Long Moment - Part 2
*
I am immersed in the word moment, with a promise to myself to allow it to move forward into the unknown future and not harrow it with the traumatic past.
The moment has responsibility, to stay firmly grounded yet in a perpetual transition, always waiting for the universe to actively step forth with something unexpected. Not to let the mind get stuck in a cluster-cascade obsessed with visions from the past, will keep it rolling on according to the divine plan.
A moment can be undetectable when you are stymied by a corrupt world or self-generated hopes, dreams and behaviors that shift you in space, from place to place in conflict, while it is “there” all along trying to get your attention.
Normally the moment proceeds in very, very slow motion that you can sense, and once you do you find your greatest power, like when you practice Tai Qi or Akito This power grow through observation, and resides where life turns toward a destiny that you are absolutely ready to participate in.
Unfortunately many people speed it up and it completely creeps away from them. It is like finding the balance needed to stay standing on your surfboard when riding the big wave, or on your skiis as the boat triumphantly pulls you forward into the waves of the future.
Astrology is like that. In fact, you can’t get anywhere with it, if you are not willing to be in the cosmic zone with a patient silent mind observing, sensing and feeling interconnected and present.
Nevertheless, when I study Tucker Carlson’s natal and transiting planets I get real excited, as his chart shows a man who is in harmony with his Moment, all of the time. Furthermore, when I compare his chart to several of some of the other people we read about so often these days, the Moment is most definitely, not the same.
I feel privileged to study Tucker Carlson’s chart. His chart reflects the life of an amazing man. His chart shows who he is, and his future. However, it also shows the future of media and in that way it shows our future too.
Furthermore, although the chart is a picture of one man’s universe, every part and person of that universe is related to every other. Every person and every event is ultimately influenced by every other person and event over time. The interconnections are breathtaking while revealing deeper levels of reality with more fundamental meanings. In fact, the more fundamental the reality is the more interconnected and sensitive it is to what goes on elsewhere in the universe and the greater beyond. This juicy point is what inspires and feeds this astrologer.

TUCKER’S LONG MOMENT
This is a 3 part mini astro-thesis of Tucker Carlson
Part 1—which I sincerely hope you will read—began on Tucker’s birthday, May 16th and introduces Tucker’s auspicious birthday-chart synchronicity with the cosmos, hist most important planetary events of the past several years, and a focus on his Chiron return.
In Part 2, is packed with a great amount of “astrology”. I discuss the Path of Dispositors or ruling planets, how it works and go through it in Tucker’s chart. I discuss his Mercury and the fact it is his final dispositor and is Out of Bounds. Information on what Out of Bounds planets are—Tucker has 4!—which will help you not only understand Tucker but also if you have an Out of Bounds planet in your chart, it should encourage you to get to know it.
I briefly discuss Tucker’s Saturn, Uranus, Venus, Sun/Moon, Mars and Chrion, their signs, houses, dispositors, and significators with information about various aspects geometrical planetary configurations such as the several of the easy oppositions and transiting planets, especially Uranus transiting Tucker’s Sun/Moon in Taurus.
In Part 3 details about Neptune Saturn, more Uranus, the Nodes and Pluto and their aspectc will be elaborated with notes on the synchronicities found in Tucker’s birth chart.
*
THE PATH OF DISPOSITORS
There is a clever method astrologers use, to seek out ground zero of the chart. This is called the dispositor tree.
A dispositor is the planet that rules the sign that another planet is in. For example, Venus is the dispositor of any planet in the signs of Taurus and or Libra.
Every sign is ruled by one of the 9 planets. Plus, before the outer planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were discovered Aquarius, Pisces and Scorpio, were ruled by Saturn, Jupiter and Mars.
The ruler or dispositor of that sign instructs that planet or planets in that sign on how to function on behalf of that sign.
We can trace dispositors from the Ascendant at the moment of birth, and unfold the main story, the main plot and decode the heartbeat of the chart.
Note: Also, each house has a ruler too. The house ruler is called a significator
Note: I apologize, but I will not use the accepted term of dispositor tree, since over the last several years I have become quite fond of the phrase “Path of Dispositors” probably because the dispositors sometimes lead in strange ways and don’t seem very treelike to me
The path of dispositors puts forth the structure and plot of that person’s life story. (Or it could be a country, a foundation or an event)
The path emphasizes various elements, auspicious, and tragic moments, participants, patterns and sacred geometrical configurations which the person lives out again and again. Repetitive patterns are common and can, once consciously recognized, lead to evolving circumstances.
Furthermore, various transits especially of outer planets: Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, that can last for several years, often prioritize an exceptionally memorable period in someone’s life; usually conscious but can also be conceived and gestate silently within the unconscious, slowly shifting louder and louder over time, toward the conscious. Then at some future moment, the conscious-readiness attracts the event—an epiphany of outstanding significance paints reality with exactly what you order.

TUCKER CARLSON’S PATH of DISPOSITORS
Beginning - In every chart we begin looking for dispositors starting with the Ascendant, the time of birth.
TC’s Ascendant is 24-degrees Cancer. Cancer is disposited by the Moon.
TC’s Moon is 4-degrees from his Sun which makes them conjunct, in Taurus. Saturn is also in Taurus. . . All planets in Taurus are disposited by Venus.
Next, Venus and Chiron are in Aries. All planets in Aries are disposited by Mars.
Next, Mars is in Sagittarius. Sagittarius is disposited by Jupiter.
Next Jupiter and Pluto are in Virgo. Virgo is disposited by Mercury.
Next, Mercury is in Gemini. All Gemini and Virgo planets are disposited by Mercury.
Because Mercury is in its own sign of Gemini, the sign it rules, Mercury disposits itself and, is Tucker’s “final dispositor”.
A FINAL DISPOSITOR means no other planet will influence Tucker more than Mercury. Even though the ruler of his Cancer ascendant is his Moon, Mercury has dominance over Tucker’s chart. Therefore, Mercury has added strength, dignity and is of critical importance to Tucker.
This is the “end of the story”. This is THE STORY. This is where the story repeats itself throughout Tucker’s life. It is the final determinant in any decision making process and manufactures, maneuvers and manifests the ideals of the MIND and ways of COMMUNICATION!
As my mentor Glenn Perry said:
“The final dispositor acts like a lure that pulls the life forward toward the ideal that the planet symbolizes. When a planet is in its own sign it functions like a hand in a glove. It is a perfect fit.
Therefore, the final dispositor symbolizes a psychological function that at least potentially can approach perfection. It is the ideal most realizable, thus the head of the board, the policy maker, the bottom line. If there is no final dispositor, there may be no bottom line, that is, there is no final motive around which the life circles. In fact, the person may be going in circles or lack an ultimate guiding ideal.”
Note: There are a lot of people who don’t have a final dispositor and the planets go around in a circle, such as Venus disposits Uranus in Libra, Uranus disposits Mars in Aquarius, Mars disposits Venus in Aries and Venus. . . etc. Plus there can be more planets involved in this circle.
Also, there could be two of these circles, and still no final dispositor.
Also, there could be two circles with two planets each in their own signs but neither are considered a final dispositor. You could call these planets co-dispositors which each have different roles and could compete with each other in decision making. It is like a person is two leaders with two directions, with two completely different paths in their life.
There could also be two planets in each other’s sign which are in mutual reception. But again no final. I have this with Mars in Virgo, and Mercury in Aries. Mars disposits Mercury in Aries, and Mercury disposits Mars in Virgo. In fact, my Mars in Virgo, can’t live without Mercury in Aries. . I need Mercury to think through Mar’s action before I can budge. And I need Mars to actively get my body and blood moving to my brain before my mind can work well.
Back to Tucker’s Path of Dispositors - Next, on Tucker’s path of dispositors, we look at Uranus. Uranus is in Libra. Libra is disposited by Venus.
You can go back to Venus and see that the path of dispositors leads again to Mercury.
Next, is Neptune in Scorpio. Scorpio is disposited by Pluto. Pluto is in Virgo. Virgo is disposited by Mercury.
As there is no question, the final dispositor is Mercury—you can see that all planetary rulers/dispositors can be traced to Mercury in Gemini at 11-degrees in the 11th house.
Note: There is a discrepancy that many astrologers have, and that is which ruler is the most important of a chart. Is it the ruling planet of the sign on the ascendant, or the final dispositor?
Regarding Tucker’s Moon which rules his Cancer ascendant and his Mercury as the final dispositor, it is necessary to look at which planet has the most influence throughout the chart.
Although in Tucker’s chart, his Sun/Moon in Taurus at the 25-degrees and 29-degrees conjunction is 60-degrees sextile his ascendant in Cancer at 24-degrees and that would mean that his New Moon birth in Taurus, with his Moon cazimi the Sun, is greatly dominated by his Sun. Meaning his ascendant is all about this conjunction. More to say on that ahead.
But which planet is strongest in his chart? The Moon or Mercury? I think it is Mercury. However, both Mercury and Tucker’s Moon are Out of Bounds, which makes both of them unusual, excessive and not the norm. Well, after more discussion, you can decide for yourself which planet rules. I think it is Mercury.
*
MERCURY IS OUT OF BOUNDS
Another essential detail about Mercury is that it is Out of Bounds along with Tucker’s Mars, Moon and Black Moon Lilith.
If you read some of my other posts, you might remember that Out of Bounds planets are “wild”, and often show eccentric, unconventional behaviors. Also, Out of Bounds planets are usually anti-social and can incentivize total geniuses who few understand!
In Those Wild Out of Bounds Planets, you might want to read what the late Pamela Welch said about Howard Stern, who has a Mercury Out of Bounds in a stellium with his Sun, Venus and North Node in Capricorn opposite Uranus conjunct the South Node in the 3rd house. The stellium is also quincunx Jupiter in Gemini. . .
A little bit about Howard Stern from wikiastro:
As a shock-jock he reached some three million listeners every day, a huge audience of people who found his irreverence and scatological humor hilarious. In his radio show, he screed on masturbation, penis size and flatulence. Once out of the sound booth, he was said to be a bundle of insecurities.
Pam Welsh also wrote about the Out of Bounds Moon and Mars, which Tucker has too. .
I have learned that most people with Out of Bounds planets don’t know what an Out of Bounds planet is, and seldom know why they feel different than others in their social circle. A good majority of people with Out of Bounds planets live outside of the normal so-called world, out of the “social envelope” and often don’t even know their peculiarities, their uniqueness, their unconventional personality most likely originate from their Out of Bounds planets.
This is my favorite video about Out of Bounds planets: a tutorial by David Cochrane 8 years ago. He does an excellent job explaining it.
And, here is the astro.com declination chart for Tucker’s natal astrology chart. Tucker’s Out of Bounds planets are in red.
Tucker Carlson has 3 Out of Bounds planets, well 4, the Moon, Mercury, Mars and Black Moon Lilith (very Out of Bounds):
Tucker’s Out of Bounds Mercury - (Big Changes) Is In Transition
With TC’s Mercury Out of Bounds and the final dispositor of his natal chart, at 11-degreee Gemini, in the 11th house, the Aquarius house, the Moment of his greater purpose as an international Aquarian avatar of communication is presently in transition and will be for the next few years. I would guess he might retreat for a good while. Or, he will dabble around on different social media platforms, maybe even create some new ones. Right now Tucker is on twitter and up to now, June 13th, he has given two Episodes
As Mercury is the most important planet in his chart, and has an evolving responsibility to engage with Tucker’s whole chart, we can expect that any major developments taking place in Tucker’s life, that will show up in his chart, will have Mercury dominating.
Mercury in Gemini, in the 11th house. Uranus Significator - A Future for Truth and Liberty in Media
Uranus, is the significator of the 11th house, and will enter Gemini in May 2026. The effects of Uranus moving into Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius, will intensify as these two outer-planet-giants, in the most agreeable, most harmonious and most creative 120-degree trine, will smoothly consolidate all media platforms which stand for Free Speech, truth, justice, liberty and an awakened humanity—the Aquarian ideals—a humanity well informed, autonomous and well connected.
Around April 2026 Saturn will be conjunct Neptune in Aries and will sextile both transiting Uranus and transiting Pluto. . . . This will most definitely be a very exciting time for catastrophic change on the planet!
In June of 2024 Uranus will get closer to transiting Tucker’s Sun at 25-degrees and Moon 29-degrees Taurus in the 11th house. Uranus is the significator of the 11th house. Presently, as of this writing on June 26th, 2023 it is at 21-degrees Taurus. Transiting Uranus will transit back and forth, 3 times over Tucker’s Sun (forward June 2024, retrograde November 2024, forward April 2025) and Moon (forward June, July, August 2025, retrograde September-January 2026, forward February-May 2026) until it finally goes into Gemini.. It will hover around these degrees for two good years.
Meanwhile, with Uranus transiting Tucker’s Sun/Moon, for the next several years, I sense that Tucker is taking some distance from the insane world of corporate-globalist funded media he has left behind, to get ready for some cyber development much more in harmony with his heart, passion and intelligence—to get in touch with his Moment.
No doubt there will be some chaotic Uranus hurdles on this path for him, which he is most likely feeling now as Venus in Leo squares transiting Uranus and Tucker’s Sun/Moon conjunction, opposite natal Neptune during July and August. The tension of other people’s issues he is willing to take on in detail, gives him great motivation, insight and inspiration to design methods of broadcasting their important stories, which normally most people would not get. A demonstration of the planets involved: radical Uranus, grounded in Taurus, influenced by independent, creative Venus in Aries in the 10th, strongly influenced by assertive, confident, contentious, provoking, philosophical Mars in Sagittarius influenced by Jupiter, in the 5th house (Leo’s house) who takes on the will of society; Uranus, Sun/Moon opposite Neptune in Scorpio, also in the 5th house, charges up Neptune’s existential spirit driven by Pluto in Virgo’s dedication to getting to the truth of any matter.
What is coming within the info-sphere of the future cyber world of AI as Uranus moves into Gemini and trines transiting Pluto conjunct the North Node in Aquarius, during 2027, we will have to wait for, but as someone who has lived most of her life, for truth, liberty, justice and health freedom, I feel the time is coming.
Tucker Carlson’s natal, Out of Bounds, final dispositor Mercury in Gemini in the 11th house is so well placed! It is in an “easy” opposition to Mars in Sagittarius in the 5th house, and has an exceptional 60-degree sextile angle to his Venus at 15-degrees Aries, near his MC, which is trine Mars.
I keep coming back to the realization that Tucker Carlson is gifted with an authentic number of cognizant abilities (Mercury) which reach out to each planet in just the right way in his chart. Mercury happens to be the energetic force at the epicenter of each and all of them!
I say “Right” because at the edge of the media wars, stands Tucker, out in the world (everyone of my European, Austrian and African friends knows him)—Mercury in the 11th house (media) in its own sign, opposite Mars (aggressive, confronting knowledge and spurting out philosophical sarcasm) in the 5th house, in Sagittarius, trine its own sign of Aries in the 10th house.
These inherent planetary placements invigorate the impressive motives which provide Tucker with the intellect and communication skills needed to confidently engage with all types of people in a friendly, mindful and perceptive manner (Venus in the 10th) from around the world of diverse backgrounds for his profession,
Actually, this easy opposition and the two other easy oppositions I will discuss, are what every Aquarian avatar of conscious communication needs the most, not only because of the aspects, and the planets involved but because of the houses involved.
We could say Tucker is the opposite of the globalists who want to separate, divide and conquer humanity with their communist-propaganda, reset agenda.
I would say, Tucker Carlson represents an evolving breed of media senseis (Aquarian-11th house) who sincerely have an exceptional expertise of knowing themselves well, who have good relationships with their family and close friends, and who have mastered the ability to overcome social, political, economic and psychological psyops put before them. This is the foundation needed for those who disseminate diverse forms of truthful reporting—media communication, to/for a wise, conscious awakened humanity, informed, engaged, aware and free; a spiritually educated international community that deeply cares about the welfare of humanity and is passionate for important truthful and cleverly orchestrated news information.
With sincere ethical and moral motivation (not an obligation) from the heart, I think this is what Tucker Carlson is really all about.
Nevertheless, just as many of us have potholes to fill, or red planets occasionally in outrage, or big unseen forces meddling with our thoughts and words, so does Tucker. However, what Tucker Carlson does with these challenges will no doubt be on the side of greatness.

TUCKERS PLANETS
Now that you know that Tucker’s Mercury is well placed, this section on Tucker’s planets is just a mini-explanation—it is not thorough by any means. My intention is to provide a general background on each planet and discuss a few of their aspects and geometrical configurations. Part 3 will continue on this path, while going deeper.
SATURN
Saturn is located in the 10th house, the Capricorn house, the house it feels most comfortable in. At 2-degrees Taurus, Saturn grows from deep roots of male diligence and discipline with goals toward a successful professional life; a life structured, organized and securely grounded in earthy Taurus endurance and earthy disciplined Capricorn.
Ruled by Venus in Aries, Saturn in Taurus in the 10th house of Capricorn, is the feisty and ferocious, friendly confront-arian who rebels against the norm with a creative, and agile, fortitude, delightfully focused on professional boundaries which win allies and enemies every time.
SUN/MOON, OUT OF BOUNDS MOON
With the Moon Out of Bounds, the New Moon and the Sun in Taurus, emotions are endowed with the power of the Sun. Because they are together at the new moon, the brightness of the Sun takes charge of the Moon. However because the Moon is exalted in the sign of Taurus, and is Out of Bounds, it has a deeper psychic influence in its relationship with the Sun, then most New Moons. This is probably only noticeable to Tucker’s closest companion, his wife.
Nevertheless, I sense that the Sun and Moon are one in Tucker’s consciousness: he is deeply rooted in himself. . . Will and secure emotions, performer and the people/audience, self esteem and yet vulnerable, bullish Taurus, thick as the most nourishing clay (full of the biochemicals needed for life), heavy, dense, and rich with minerals; sensational, safe and confident, placed among several very strong planetary configurations, ready for anything!
THE SECOND EASY OPPOSITION
In fact, one of these configurations—just like Mercury—is another “easy” opposition!!
Sun/Moon are opposite Neptune in Scorpio, also in the 5th house (as Mars), and sextile to Tucker’s North Node in Pisces, in the 9th house. We will discuss this easy opposition in Part 3.
Sun/Moon can’t be separated in consciousness
The Sun/Moon, the New Moon in Taurus, is the anima and animus of Tucker’s true inner self, according to Carl Jung.
The Sun/Moon conjunction in Taurus gives Tucker an extremely strong balanced persona, with a sense of boundaries between an inner Will to Be and human emotions of a collective origin (11th house-Aquarius) which, although completely centered and supported by a satisfied personal life, is in such a good material and marital position, he is able to engage with the world while staying unimpeded by the chaos all around him. This is an awesome gift!
And thus, his persona is easily projected throughout the world and is strongly received by his associates (11th house).
The Moon cares for “the people”, however it is surrounded by the Sun’s archetypal stubborn nature which uses its over confident persona as a cover to the Moon’s gravity of emotions generated from childhood—emotions circulate through Tucker’s soul.
URANUS - OUT OF BOUNDS NEW MOON - both disposited by Venus in Aries
The 11th house Sun and Out of Bounds Moon in Taurus are influenced by Uranus in Libra (the significator of the 11th house) which isn’t shy regarding having radical relationships with colleagues, contenders and crackpots in the 3rd house of media communication.
To be discussed in Part 3, natal Uranus trines Tucker’s Sun/Moon in Taurus, it is also quincunx his Saturn also in Taurus. It is conjunct Tucker’s South Node-opposite North Node at 28-degrees Pisces, and transiting Neptune. It is also opposite his natal Chiron at 5-degrees Aries, and sextiles his Neptune in Scorpio.
Tucker is autonomous, self-directed and self-reliant about himself and is deeply confident and open to discussion and debate with people who are generally equal in intelligence, intent and focus. In each instance, he is also ready to verbally battle any individual who he disagrees with—Uranus in Libra (conflict resolution) ruled/disposited by Venus in Aries (conflict resolution with other professionals), ruled by Mars in Sagittarius (philosophically contention), ruled by Jupiter in Virgo (wise and discerning), ruled by Mercury in Gemini (balanced communication final scene).
Uranus, which is the significator of the 11th house, makes contentious waves that challenge and provoke Tucker’s will, depth of character, concern and connection to his psychic center but which he enjoys and delighted to have. Waves that motivate his spiritual convictions (North Node in Pisces 60-degrees Sun/Moon in Taurus) for freedom of the people (11th house Aquarius ruled by Uranus). With transiting Uranus, transiting Tucker’s Sun/Moon over the next couple of years, I think this will get stronger for him.
Venus (in the 10th house in Aries), disposits Tucker’s Sun/Moon in Taurus and it also disposits Uranus in Libra.
VENUS
Venus is in Aries at 15-degrees in the 10th house. Disposited by Mars, Venus in Aries has a regal role as the ruler of Tucker’s Sun/Moon, and Saturn in Taurus, as well as Uranus in Libra.
Not the most peaceful place for Venus, which normally is much more at ease in Taurus and Libra, the signs it rules. Venus in Aries in the 10th thrives on contentious professional positions which inspire discipline, hard work, love and financial/material rewards and concrete outcomes.
Even though Venus is in its fall in Aries, it is well placed as it has outstanding relationships (sextile and trine) with both Mercury (mind and communication) and with Mars (active energy), channeled into every professional relationship Tucker has going for him.
Venus in the 10th house in Aries is creatively independent and strongly influenced by his Sagittarius Mars in the 5th house. As depositor of Venus, Mars motivates any complacency, while circulating the adrenals to action.
OUT OF BOUNDS MARS
A good number of people I know have an Out of Bounds Mars. In fact the US July 4th 1776 chart has an Out of Bounds Mars. It also has an Out of Bounds Pluto and Venus.
Tucker’s Mars is at 14-degrees Sagittarius in the 5th house, ruled/disposited by Jupiter in Virgo.
Mars in Sagittarius in the 5th house ruled by Jupiter is sincere about grasping the fine details behind the journey of life as an expansion of personal growth through the search for truth, meaning and purpose as an independent seeker.
In the 5th house of society, wife and kids, Mars is wise, discerning and is ready for a good, feisty dialogue (full of ferocious discourse), vigorous family outing, frolicking in the bedroom and lots of fun and happiness always (opposite Mercury, trine Venus).
Mars in Sagittarius in the 5th house assesses social protocols, personal egos, images, trends and imprints held within different circles of society.
Mars motivation goes forth as a dynamic force, a force which can be somewhat arrogant and righteous, and rudely critical.
As Mars is Out of Bounds, finding humility might come about when Mars has been wounded, as in addition to ruling Venus in Aries in the 10th, it rules Chiron in Aries in the 9th house, which Sagittarius is significator of.
Any wounds Mars experiences through social channels, Chiron at 5-degrees Aries is likely to experience. I would think, over the last few years, might have been one of those times, as Tucker went through his Chrion return.
Mars in Sagittarius has an endless reservoir of energy, for winning—I don’t think Tucker Carlson, will ever be defeated. Although, he will be wounded—Tucker could be a kind of news-reporter version of superman—he will always reemerge.
CHIRON
The asteroid Chiron, is given just as much clout as all of the planets. Chiron lets us never forget our oldest and most difficult wounds, usually passed from life to life, or mother to offspring.
Chiron is at 5-degrees Aries in the 9th house of Sagittarius. Disposited by Mars in Sagittarius in the 5th house (of Leo), Chiron in the 9th house is always reminded of the fight for individual human rights, spiritual philosophies which exemplify truth, of what is right, just, and inalienable to each individual, for all.
One never knows the suffering of another—mental suffering, spiritual suffering, emotional suffering and of course physical suffering—unless they have their own experience. Chiron in Aries—very close to Tucker’s North Node at 28-degrees Pisces in the 9th house, and transiting Neptune at this time—has become more susceptible and unguarded over the last several years, through uncovering the horrible suffering of individuals around the world during the covid plandemic. . .

We will continue with our mini-explanation of Tucker’s planets and their aspects and geometrical configurations in Part 3.
