Tucker Carlson’s evening show on Fox TV currently holds the distinction of being the most watched cable show ever. The Pulitzer prize winning journalist, Nick Confessore, states that Carlson’s popularity comes not from any sort of excellence, but “by weaponizing fears and grievances of his audience to create what may be the most racist show in the history of cable news.” The following Dayology examination may reveal what actually makes Tucker tick.
The birthday of Tucker Carlson is May 16, 1969. Being born on a Friday in the zodiac sign of Taurus gives him the #62 FRI TAU Dayology Signature. The planet Venus rules both his INNER and OUTER SELVES giving him an extreme need to be likeable while his personal opinions are not to be questioned. This particular individual has been mentioned three times on Dayology.com: Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire; Handling Hateful Remarks and The July 4th 2022 Shooting.

Tucker Carlson has a neat and tidy chart with no loose ends. His arrangement of energies falls within The See-Saw Arrangement with five of his planets above the Ascendant and the other five below. It is primarily through the top of his chart that he expresses himself publicly and those at the bottom that operate like a hidden dynamo. These two divisions are held together by one set of oppositions (red) and two sets of trines (blue). He readily appeals to his audience through supposedly being rather special yet understanding how they think and feel.
This chart has a Cancer Ascendant (AC) indicating an ever-emotional orientation toward life. Childhood was a critical stage of his development and still affects him tremendously. He learns the most in this lifetime as he looks after his own children or others in his charge. His FOUR ANGLES (the black cross) are cardinal signs which produce great activity. If they are not made to work off the karma of this lifetime, they will surely be adding immense burdens for lives to come.
Carlson was born to be of use to others and likes to think he is helping those who are younger or more vulnerable than himself. Capricorn on the Descendant (DC) means he must learn to work within structured or authoritarian relationships. This is not easy for him. Libra on the Nadir (IC) wants a gracious and refined home to recover from the demands of the world outside. Aries elevated (MC) channels most of his personal energy into making a name for himself.
The ruler of both Carlson’s INNER and OUTER Selves is Venus, which is located the tenth house of Status (MC). He was born to be famous although he clearly has definite flaws to work out. Venus in Aries gives an impetuous nature that may not come off as considerate or kind. as what is expected of him. And with Saturn in this same spot he attempts to gain respect by simply espousing conservative values if not able to achieve actual maturity with responsibility.
What Carlson lacks in human sensitivity is made up for on-the-spot creativity. He has Sagittarius Mars in the fifth house of self-expression plus the evasiveness of Neptune in Scorpio owing to secrets he is holding regarding himself and others. He is wrong if he thinks that his attempts to create clever facades or smoke screens will go by as unnoticed forever. He may also proceed through periods when he wishes that he wasn’t so closely attached to certain individuals.
Actually these two aspects (Mars and Neptune) of his Fifth House of Self-Expression creates problems for his Taurus Sun/Moon persona in the Eleventh House of Hopes and Dreams. Their activity may deter or hold up progress in being accepted by certain types of people. Mercury in Gemini also in this House shows that basically he is smart but must stick to the facts to avoid trouble. Not only is he capable of a certain amount of deception, he may be lied to as well.
Three of Carlson’s slower moving planets, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto are situated in the Third House of The Concrete Mind. In Virgo and Libra show it shows that at any point he has the capacity to develop a progressive mind. These three planets move in the retrograde mode, so he may be denied access to these extraordinary abilities until he acts with some authenticity. He must learn to relate with genuine assistance and not from some kind of publicity stunt.
