you will find this fascinating. Hopefully an astrologer can find
out his actual birth time and do a more exact chart with his rising
sign.

RUDY GIULIANI
Giuliani is a Gemini, born May 28, 1944
Date of Birth: May 28, 1944 NYC.

RUDY's personality is mind-oriented. Thus, language and
symbolic expression, written or oral, are his primary resources in
life, although they are also potential pitfalls. His eloquence, wit,
and verve, his mastery of language, unquestionably give him
power over other people (via communication) and things (science
and technique). But taken to extremes, this faculty may lead to
incoherent babbling. 

Finding a partner for play within himself in many cases, he
sometimes amuses himself by acting out a variety of roles on the
stage of life, just for the fun of it. His animation and wit give him
a talent for improvisation and adaptation. However, adaptability
is a two-bladed sword. He is liable to find himself in a
superficial bind, having jettisoned certain important ideas in
order to move about more freely. RUDY is also sensitive, but his
emotions and feelings are sometimes subject to the scrutiny and
censorship of his intellect. 

Wary of his irrational instincts and urges, he tends to control or
repress them. But he will have to learn that the intellect is not
omnipotent, especially where instinct is concerned. Inhabiting a
complex inner world, RUDY sometimes feels vulnerable, due to
his emotionalism and sensitivity to the aggressions of the outer
world. Because he relies first and foremost on his adaptability
and agility to wriggle out of trouble, he may, on certain
occasions, make rather dubious compromises with himself - all
the more likely if his moral fiber is made of wax, as is often the
case, instead of steel. The weaknesses he must overcome are
instability, wishy-washiness, a lack of determination and
coherence in his thought.

These contradictory influences form a character subject to split
personality. One side of RUDY is flexible, agile, blithe, and
perhaps even frivolous, whereas at other times, a cagey,
materialistic spirit may make him possessive and perhaps even
miserly. Attitudes and opinions which appear to be weighty and
purposeful turn out to be weak and flimsy. His firmest
convictions are subject to influence from the outer environment.

Due to his past, he refuses tried-and-true models, is always
fighting to justify his innovative viewpoints, and tends to break
away from tradition. He is hardly ever aware that he is making
career and lifestyle choices which are based on an urge to modify
his relationship to society, and the rigid standards and models
from the past.

RUDY is self-centered and sees everything in relation to himself.
Individualistic and fairly egotistical, he finds he is rarely of the
same opinion as others, and may tend to isolate himself from the
outer world. 

RUDY is a realist: he approaches life pragmatically, and even his
feelings are based on rational, tangible evidence. He bases his
judgements on past experience and is prone to skepticism. A
hard worker, he takes pride in his own endeavors, and has a
personal concept of his productivity. His possessions help him
assert himself as an individual and act as an antidote to his
feelings of insecurity. As a result, material accomplishments may
preoccupy him more than either love as a passion or intellectual
or philosophical considerations. Nevertheless, he becomes
attached to anything which offers him certainty.

RUDY must work harder than others to understand other
people's feelings. In fact, this relative lack of empathy and
compassion for others simply mirrors his own difficulty in
understanding his own feelings and emotional needs. 

He is not insensitive, but he is baffled by his own emotions. He
sees the emotional world as a foreign terrain, perhaps fraught
with hidden dangers. Becoming familiar with it would present
more drawbacks than advantages. As a result, he may appear to
be gruff. He is rarely able to sustain a rewarding relationship. If
he were able to accept and understand his own emotions, he
would be more respectful of other people's feelings. 

He has a strong desire for emotional independence, and tends to
discount other people's emotional needs. He might even be the
first to deny that such needs are real. As a result, his dependency
on others is unconscious; because it is seen as such a threat, it is
repressed. Actually, although he offers conscious resistance to
anyone who tries to lure him out of his emotional bind, he
himself is always making timid, half-conscious forays into the
world of feelings, because his loneliness and fear are so
unbearable.

RUDY is a free thinker and individualist who is convinced that
his most precious basic values are freedom and independence. He
has thrown off what he perceives as the burden of the convention
and customs of his social class and adopted an innovative
lifestyle. His passionate convictions, bordering on proselytism,
sometimes trouble his relationships, as he may be an
uncompromising, authoritarian, and arrogant partner. He should
learn to recognize his own limitations and accept the
responsibilities he has to other people, or he is liable to find
himself continually embroiled in conflicting relationships.

An eloquent speaker and compulsive charmer, RUDY has a
powerful personal magnetism which may sometimes make him
seem arrogant or smug. He cares a great deal about his
reputation, and will try hard to be admired and appreciated by the
people around him. Fond of social events and parties, he likes to
be the host, to entertain and charm a captive audience of guests.
Indeed, he has special dramatic and artistic talents of the caliber
necessary for success in film, theater, fashion, or art in general.
He enjoys displaying his generosity, but he also displays a short
temper at times; he is easily offended. His partner will have to be
a brilliant woman, strong and sure of herself, devoted to her hero
and capable of enhancing his reputation.

RUDY's intellect is lively, agile, and sensitive. However, he does
not always avail himself of it, and may be confused or irrational
in some situations. Although he enjoys playing with words,
ideas, and concepts, his thought rarely dips below the surface,
and sometimes lacks discipline and structure. He is fairly
preoccupied with details, and may tend to waste his nervous and
mental energy in futile verbal outpourings. Moreover, his
feelings sometimes blur his objective vision of phenomena and
people, which may cause him to make errors in judgment.

RUDY maintains strong ties with his past, and it often seems
difficult for him to open his heart to new people. His love affairs
often remain shallow and superficial, because his lust and
sensual desire rarely turn into a need to understand, protect, and
care for the other. Moreover, it is difficult for him to meet
women who combine the feminine ideals of the tender mother
and the sexy mistress.

His expansive nature is related to his gratification in childhood,
which probably occurred in favorable surroundings with a mother
who was loving, indulgent, and generous with herself. 

RUDY has a lively, sparkling personality which wins him a
multitude of amorous successes. Ruled at times by a narcissistic
longing, he is attracted to exceptionally beautiful or socially
prominent women. From conquest to conquest, affair to affair,
his emotional life may be a series of brief flashes of love which
prove to be disappointingly fleeting. But, one day, he may allow
himself to be subjugated by a woman with a strong personality,
powerful ambition, and a great deal of influence on him.

RUDY expresses his thoughts and ideas in direct, spontaneous
outbursts. He is fairly extroverted, and eager to discover and
understand the outer world. An idealist, he looks forward to a
bright future, but is sometimes subjective and reckless.

As an intellectual, RUDY has a curiosity so lively it borders on
the inquisitorial. His interest in dark secrets and hidden
knowledge leads him to do all sorts of arcane research. He is
both sensitive and pragmatic, with an intuition so keen he seems
to be able to sniff out and expose the complex, mysterious inner
workings of both systems and individuals. Although he is
sometimes unable to express the findings of his investigations
clearly, he is nevertheless an expert in symbols, hieroglyphics,
runes, and other codes and ciphers. Rather ironic and sometimes
cynical, he strikes out with his venomous wit the way a
poisonous snake neutralizes its prey. His doubts and
uncertainties may sometimes lead to nearly unbearable anxiety or
anguish. Moreover, the people he associates with may sometimes
have a negative influence on him, and he should be wary of
questionable or illicit transactions. He is more prone to
misjudgment than others, especially in matters concerning the
exchange of large sums of money.

RUDY possesses a prodigious ability to fight for his goals and
accomplish them. However, depending on how he applies it, it
can lead to the best or worst results. If he commits himself to a
noble ideal or experiment or a daring adventure, it will yield
remarkable career achievements. However, it can also be a source
of anger and intolerance, if it is committed to the defense of his
own pride and arrogance.

RUDY does not always have a clear and precise vision of what
he is capable of doing, or of what he really wants to do. He is
ready to commit himself to ideals and causes which he
appreciates personally, but the people around him sometimes
disapprove of or scoff at these schemes. As a result, some of the
people close to him criticize him for being unrealistic, because
they do not understand his deepest motivations.. He is especially
intrigued by the realm of the unknown, the mysterious, and the
strange, and is likely to engage in activities which are highly
unconventional. Nevertheless, he must be careful not to set in
motion forces which will escape his control. He might satisfy his
craving for the fantastic by devoting himself to such arts as
theater, photography, or film.

RUDY's behavior and attitude are unique. He is sometimes
excessive, and tends to be short-tempered; he may quickly
become aggressive if he encounters the slightest opposition or
resistance. Determined and obstinate in the pursuit of his goals,
he is sometimes disappointed when he realizes that the object of
his desire no longer interests him once he has attained it.
Because his will mingles with his personal desire, he tends to be
motivated by a quest for his own personal satisfaction, and
sometimes finds it difficult to commit himself to activities which
do not concern him personally.

He takes his own superiority and authority over others for
granted, and he has a natural ability to command the attention
and admiration of an audience. He is a born leader, who enjoys
being in the limelight, and may behave somewhat theatrically or
with dramatic exaggeration. He has definite artistic leanings
(although he is not always " tasteful "). The sense of his ideals is
evident to him and may lead him to be somewhat arrogant and
even despotic towards his friends. If ill-directed, his deep
aspirations may lead to such faults as egotism, selfishness, or
greediness for power.

If RUDY really wants to improve and transform himself, the first
step is to become aware of the weaknesses which may be holding
him back and preventing his evolution:
- His shallowness bordering on superficiality
- His lack of sincerity
- His indifference
- His frivolity
- His fear of commitment

RUDY's fierce individualism will promote independent and
original behavior. He tends to lack team spirit. On the contrary,
he needs to feel free and untrammeled by others to be really
effective.

RUDY is motivated by a thirst for power which gives him a
certain authority. He has a feeling he is leadership material.
However, he has a tendency to infringe on other people's
freedom, and he may initiate troublesome power struggles.

Because he trusts in himself and his convictions, RUDY has
personality and presence. He is quite sure of himself, and may
tend to be rather smug and self-satisfied, although this does not
eliminate his need for other people's approval and recognition.

Because he is often in a positive frame of mind, RUDY finds it
easy to make decisions, and is only rarely hindered by negative
feelings or anxiety. However, his optimism may lead him to
overestimate his own potential, and makes him liable to
misjudgment.

RUDY's thought processes rarely follow the laws of logical
reasoning or linear thought; instead, they proceed from an overall
vision, which is pieced together from more or less obscure and
subconscious clues.

RUDY continually needs excitement and action. He is fairly
fluctuating and faithless, and may abandon a project or
commitment as soon as boredom sets in, to move on to a more
exciting experience.

By Robert Lederman

It would be easy to follow the lead of Mayor Giuliani and
blame the numerous individual police officers who apparently
did nothing to prevent, investigate or even report to their
superiors the mob violence, sexual assaults and robberies that
took place in Central Park this past Sunday. Stereotypes of
cops as lazy, donut-eating louts readily come to mind.

Is there another explanation? 

Victims of the mob violence and numerous witnesses have
reported that a large number of police officers stationed
within yards of the hour long incident sat on benches during
the attacks, refused to take reports from witnesses, radioed no
one for help and even dissuaded some female victims from
filing a police report. The Mayor says that pending an internal
police department investigation confirming the victim and
bystander accusations, the cops will be fired. 

Either NYPD officers are even worse people than activists
have made them out to be or there is another side to this story,
a side Mayor Giuliani desperately wants to obscure.

This incident perfectly illustrates the selective crime reporting
and creative NYPD book-keeping behind Mayor Giulianis
very impressive-but unfortunately very phony-crime statistics.
These statistically-oriented record keeping techniques, which
in this case involved ignoring numerous sexual assaults, are
the source of his undeserved reputation. To paraphrase a
famous Zen saying, if a crime happens in NYC but the police
dont record it, did it really happen? 

According to an article in the NY Post, police officers in the
same general area and time as the attacks confiscated 2,500
bottles of beer, 100 bottles of liquor and 16 bags of marijuana
and made 13 arrests. They also issued 700 summonses.
Clearly the cops were very hard at work faithfully following
the prioritized orders of the Mayor. 

Those orders include downplaying anything, including sexual
assaults in Central Park, that might make his administration
look bad. Anyone who has attempted as I have to report an
assault, robbery or other crime to the NYPD during the seven
years of the Giuliani administration knows how this game
works. 

The police do their best to dissuade you from making a report
in the first place. If you are very persistent they will do their
best to downgrade the seriousness of the crime. An assault
gets written up as an dispute or harassment. A store break-in
becomes a report of vandalism. Robberies gets recorded as
lost property. As a result, crime statistics keep going down
while crime may actually be going up.

The flip-side of this creative police book-keeping is that
hundreds of thousands of unnecessary or false misdemeanor
arrests each year which are never prosecuted or are dismissed
by the City after a few court appearances are used as  the
statistical proof of the Mayors crime fighting prowess. The
police are ordered by Giuliani to use massive amounts of
personnel and resources to arrest panhandlers, homeless
people, squeegee guys, street artists, truants, farebeaters,
vendors, hookers, marijuana smokers and protesters. 

These arrests cost the taxpayers hundreds of millions of
dollars each year, remove thousands of officers from the
streets to process the paperwork and do nothing whatsoever to
make the City safer. If anything, the resentment these arrests
and harassment cause in their predominantly Black and Latino
targets has made the City a hotbed of racial animosity. They
have also made being an NYPD officer an increasingly
distasteful career choice.

The carefully-maintained illusion that the City and especially
Central Park and the surrounding midtown area have been
transformed into a safe haven for tourists and the elite is the
dogma at the center of the Giuliani myth. The 30 million
tourists who visited the City last year, filled its hotels and
boosted its economy will tell you (quoting Giuliani) that he
personally eliminated crime and made New York the, safest
big city in America. 

The city-wide mayhem of this past weekend, in which the
NYPD publicly admits to at least 40 separate attacks in which
59 people were shot or stabbed and six victims died (these
figures do not include the Central Park sexual assaults and
robberies), shows that you cannot believe everything you read
in a travel brochure. The reality is that murder, rape, bias
crimes, sexual assaults and some categories of robbery are
increasing in NYC despite a decade-long nationwide crime
drop. 

Blaming individual police officers for their seeming
indifference in Central Park this Sunday is no more justified
than blaming them for the racial profiling policy that has
recently led to unarmed and innocent men being shot to death
in NYC. If there is anything the NYPD does well it is
following orders. As the cops always say, we are just doing
our job. 

Their job is dictated each and every day by Mayor Giuliani
who personally sets the priorities for the NYPD including
deciding which individuals will be arrested, which behaviors
will result in arrest and arrest quotas generally. At times of
intense media scrutiny-as Ive personally experienced on more
than one occasion-the NYPD even has non-arrest policies. 
This Sunday appears to have been one of those days.

If tomorrow morning the Mayor ordered the police to
accurately document each and every crime they became aware
of, NYC would instantly revert to being Americas statistical
crime capital. Giuliani bragged on a recent installment of his
Friday radio talk show that he was in charge of compiling
crime statistics for the Reagan Justice Department. Apparently
he learned his lessons very well.

The police are used by Giuliani primarily as a tool of
propaganda on the one hand and intimidation on the other.
Maintaining the image and statistical results of crime fighting
rather than focusing on actual crime fighting is the goal. 

Where I live in Brooklyn cops are assigned to patrol the
streets in excessive numbers during the day when elderly
residents and storeowners will be sure to see them. They are
on every corner, busily writing up their daily quota of parking
tickets and searching for vendors to arrest. Their patrol cars
obstruct the streets as they pull over car after car for the
slightest infraction causing even more traffic congestion than
there already is. 

All of this extremely visible police activity gives the illusion
that the neighborhood is being heavily protected. The only
problem is that these police officers are barely needed during
the day when the streets are filled with people. At night when
things become a lot more dangerous, disorderly and
disruptive, theres not a cop to be seen. 

Theres never a shortage of police day or night when it comes
to harassing and intimidating protesters, however.
Commenting on the Central Park attacks both Giuliani and
Commissioner Safir claimed that no amount of police could
guarantee a crime-free park. This is the same Mayor who
routinely sends an army of officers to clamp down on even the
smallest protest that criticizes his policies. 

On the streets of New York under Giuliani you have a better
chance of getting away with a sexual assault than with
displaying a painting critical of the Mayor. During a 65
day-long street artist protest in front of the Metropolitan
Museum of Art in 1998 Giuliani had hundreds of officers on
full-time duty surrounding a handful of artists peacefully
creating and displaying anti-Giuliani signs and portraits. Each
day for sixty-five days artists were dragged away in handcuffs.
Out of more than 100 arrests and criminal summonses issued
during the protest not one resulted in a defendant plea
bargaining, paying a fine or being convicted of a crime. 

My own 41 arrests, not one of which has resulted in a
conviction, involved hundreds of police officers, lawyers for
the NYPD, high-ranking supervisors including Deputy
Mayors, survelliance and post-arrest interrogations by
detectives from the Intelligence Division and seven years of
court appearances wasting the time and salaries of judges,
District Attorneys and Legal Aid defense lawyers. Virtually
every officer involved in my arrests spent his or her entire
shift processing my arrest paperwork while freely
acknowledging that the arrest was probably unjustified and
would be dismissed.

If police organizations like the Patrolmans Benevolent
Association want to salvage whats left of their shredded
reputation they need to go public with the truth about the
Mayors manipulation of these statistics and his chronic
self-serving misuse of the NYPD. Instead of attacking Bruce
Springsteen for using his freedom of speech to write a vaguely
critical song about Amadou Diallo they need to exercise their
own freedom of speech and expose the Mayor, who continues
to be the Citys number one criminal.

Giuliani is showing no hesitation to place the blame for the
Central Park scandal on the police. Will they quietly be the
fall guys or will they show some real courage and expose the
Mayor for the pathetic liar that he is?  We the people, the
ones the NYPD are actually supposed to be working for, are
waiting to hear from New Yorks Finest.
