Jordan Peterson, the controversial Canadian psychology professor who became a love-hate figure for his anti-political correctness views, condemnation of academic “safe spaces” and his refusal to use transgender preferred pronouns, has a new book out with the unlikely title of We Who Wrestle With God.
According to the Times review it is is “unreadable, rambling, hectoring and mad” – “a bizarre study of the Bible featuring Jiminy Cricket, Harry Potter and Tinkerbell the porn fairy.”
In contrast to the book which has been fairly universally slammed this review is a chuckle and worth reading, though behind a paywall. “If We Who Wrestle with God offers the reader any relief at all it derives from the inadvertent comedy of Peterson’s attempts to combine humourless Biblical analysis, pop culture fandom and conservative polemic in the space of a single misbegotten sentence.” https://www.thetimes.com/culture/books/article/we-who-wrestle-god-perceptions-divine-jordan-peterson-review-cn3hk3bdz.
Recently he tried to persuade the scientist Richard Dawkins of the “biological reality” of dragons.
Bron 12 June 1962 2.49am Edmonton, Alberta, three weeks before Tom Cruise, Peterson has the same Saturn in Aquarius opposition North Node square Neptune – though in Peterson’s case it is further emphasized with Neptune opposition Mars in Taurus. Saturn in Aquarius will give him a leaning towards scientific precision while Neptune pulls in exactly the opposite direction into mystical, idealistic or plain delusional beliefs.
His Mercury in Gemini (conjunct his Sun) are trine a Libra Moon trine Saturn South Node in his 10th – so he is a thinker, an ideologue (= firm believer), inclined to hang onto his views even in the face of evidence to the contrary. And having a Fixed Grand Cross he won’t budge easily. His confident/over-confident Pluto opposition Jupiter square Mercury will compel him to trumpet his views at high volume. Plus he has a dominating Mars trine an audience-seeking 5th house Pluto which added to his publicity-seeking Mars Neptune means he won’t stay out of the public arena for long. He’s an attention junkie.
He may get even more extreme and eccentric with tr Uranus now crossing his Ascendant and moving through his 1st house for the next few years. He won’t care how unorthodox his views sound. What will slow him down is his Solar Arc Pluto opposition his Mars and then square his Saturn in 2027/28 at the same time as his Solar Arc Mars squares his Moon. That will test his theories.
