by Jessica Murray
Gemini—Scorpio
The Moon in this chart is in Scorpio, the secret-keeper that, under the auspices of Gemini, becomes a secret-sharer. These two signs also describe the subject matter involved: Gemini = data, Scorpio = mining — data-mining. It’s a cosmic pun.
Remarkably, Snowden’s fellow intel leakers, Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning, also have the Moon in Scorpio. And as Matt Savinar points out in his excellent essay on government surveillance, the NSA itself has the Moon in Gemini and the Sun in Scorpio. It’s a pairing that suggests multiple (Gemini) layers of concealment (Scorpio). Says Savinar:
Scorpio knows where the bodies are buried, Gemini knows where the phone lines are buried.7
On a personal level, Snowden’s story is that of a communicator (Gemini) of classified (Scorpio) information. On a transpersonal level, it’s about the nature of information itself: its moral and collective significance (Jupiter, Sagittarius) to a democratic society (Uranus) in fatal peril (Pluto).
