The most contested of Trump’s nominees – so far – Pete Hegseth has been confirmed as secretary of defense. A former Fox News personality and rightwing commentator who has said women should not serve in combat roles, recommended the military purge generals and faced allegations of sexual assault and alcoholism, made it through after a tie-breaking vote from Vice-president JD Vance.
Every Senate Democrat voted against his confirmation along with three Republican senators – Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski.
He was born 6 Jun 1980 8.20pm Minneapolis, Minnesota, with a 7th house Gemini Sun square Saturn in Virgo, trine a 10th house Pluto opposition Neptune – an odd muddle of super-ambitious, dependent on a partner, controlling, low self-esteem and indecisive and confused. He has a 7th house Venus in Gemini square a Pisces Moon conjunct his IC from the 3rd giving him a taste for the ladies with variety in mind. Mars Jupiter in the 9th – excitable utterances, overstated opinions.
It is a tough job even for a competent operator and he is running into a series of Neptunian disappointments, muddles and undermining circumstances as tr Neptune squares his Venus and is conjunct his Moon throughout 2025; plus tr Neptune square his Midheaven from July 2025 onwards joined by tr Saturn in 2926 which look like major career setbacks. Even before then tr Neptune opposes his Mars/Pluto midpoint from April onwards for a major catastrophe with other dips through the year from tr Pluto square his Mars/Neptune.
His relationship with Trump will be downbeat throughout the year with tr Saturn opposition the composite Jupiter and explosive in 2026 as tr Uranus lights a touch paper in square to their already fractious composite Mars Uranus conjunction.
Hegseth is even less popular with the USA – that relationship chart is blocked and aggravated throughout 2025 with tr Pluto opposition the composite Mars; and undercut by tr Neptune square Venus an opposition Saturn from before mid 2025 into and through 2026. There is no love lost therein the first place and less as time goes on.
