SUMMARY
In astrology, the asteroid Pallas represents applied intelligence: the intersection between intellect and action; the ability to apprehend cause-and-effect and karma. To the mind she grants intellectual rigor, impartiality, and the ability to employ the mind in the manifest world. To the field of action she grants ethics, strategy, and methodology. In her full splendor she is the fierce protector of truth, logic, freedom, and peace; when she is compromised, soon follow deception, violence, tyranny, and war.
As the go-between between thought and action, Pallas is an integral part of conscience: the capacity to translate into action what one knows to be true. Mercury without Pallas is an ineffectual intellectual without the capacity to apply his thought to real life. Mars without Pallas is a dumb brute.
Pallas rules wit and weapons, the art of war and the wisdom of nonviolence, the consensual anarchy of the market and the crushing centralized order of the gulag. Pallas brings illumination and clarity to the world of the mind and competence to the world of action.
Wisdom herself, the startling power of Pallas in the astrological chart is seldom looked-for but unmistakable once understood.
PALLAS, POLITICAL IDEOLOGY, AND ETHICS
The placement of Pallas on the natal chart can indicate with precision the native’s attitude with regard to the use of force or violence. She is a very reliable indicator for a native’s inclination towards non-violence or violence, cooperation or force, peace or war. For this reason, she is both an indicator for political ideology as well as for pacifist or criminal tendencies.
PALLAS AND THE SUN
Pallas in aspect to the Sun tends to create “crusaders” or “warriors” for a cause. For example, all these persons have Sun conjunct Pallas: Ron Paul, Lew Rockwell, Percy Bysse Shelley, Aaron Russo, Joseph Dejacque, John Lennon, Christopher Monckton, Paul Craig Roberts, Clint Eastwood, Joseph McCarthy, Napoleon Bonaparte, Milton Friedman, Abbie Hoffman, Bruce Springsteen, Bill O’Reilly, Gloria Steinem, Bill Maher, Rudy Giuliani, Paul Ryan, Karl Rove, Abraham Lincoln, Ban Ki-Moon, Rahm Emanuel, Anderson Cooper, Julia Child, Madonna, and Al Gore. Some of these individuals actively oppose each other: the nature of the cause fought for can often be found by examining what other energies aspect Pallas. Pallas-Sun and its preoccupation with ethics and the mentality of force and violence also appear in the charts of war journalists.
Pallas is often noted for bringing an androgynous quality to her natives, perhaps a by-product of her ability to weave disparate elements together. Of the list above, Percy Shelley, John Lennon, Julia Child and a few others might display some transgender qualities. Ron Paul is not particularly feminine but was a gynecologist before his political career. This quality may be more visible when Pallas is angular, as with David Bowie and Amelia Earhart (who do not have the conjunction with the Sun, though Earhart has a square).
Pallas in aspect to the Sun without mitigating factors produces a libertarian (anti-violence, anti-authoritarian) ethical outlook. Ron Paul and John Lennon, both with Sun and Pallas conjunct and no mitigating factors, are perhaps the clearest examples of this in recent history. Both men are public and uncompromising representatives of peace, non-aggression, and resistance to tyranny.
PALLAS AND THE MOON
Among other things, Pallas with the Moon can represent the martial artist, or someone who has turned the body (Moon) into a weapon (Pallas, here as the enabler of combat).
For example:
- Bruce Lee — Pallas conjunct Moon
- Evander Holyfield — Pallas conjunct Moon
- Joe Frazier — Pallas opposite Moon
- Sugar Ray Leonard — Pallas opposite Moon, square ruler of the Moon
- Mike Tyson — Pallas trine Moon
- Royce Gracie — Pallas square Moon
- Roger Zelazny — Pallas quincunx Moon (the sci-fi author was an expert martial artist)
- Rocky Marciano — Pallas sesquiquadrate Moon, trine ruler of the Moon
- Jesse Ventura — Pallas sextile Moon, quincunx Fourth House ruler
- Peter McNeely — Pallas quindecile Moon
- Muhammand Ali — Pallas trine rulers of the Moon
- Chuck Norris — Pallas in Cancer sextile ruler of the Moon
- Joe Louis — Pallas wide trine on ruler of the Moon, sesquiquadate h4
- Jackie Chan — Pallas quincunx ruler of the Moon
- Jet Li — Pallas in Cancer conjunct NN sextile ruler of the Moon
- Julio Cesar Chavez — Pallas in aspect to rulers of the Moon
- Oscar de la Hoya — Pallas either trine or quincunx or quintile ruler of the Moon
- John “Old Smoke” Morrissey — Pallas square IC and square Pluto, ruler of the Moon
The (Sibley) chart for the United States of America (with the most powerful military ever to exist in the world) has Pallas tightly conjunct the Moon.
Also notable is Ayn Rand, with a Pallas-Moon-Mercury triple conjunction. I do not believe she was a martial artist, though she certainly used her writing (Mercury) as a weapon. She physically describes the capitalist heroes in her novels as lean, muscular, with sharp features: a bit like weapons themselves.
Pallas with the Moon also appears in the of charts of military persons I’ve seen. In military charts, Pallas also tends to aspect Pluto. Pallas with the Moon seems to be common but not always present with professional athletes.
PALLAS AND MERCURY
Pallas may sharpen the mind when in aspect to Mercury, very often for purposes of a cause or crusade. Somewhat paradoxically, this crusade is often that of peace. Pallas-Mercury natives often possess a sharp intelligence well-suited to political strategy. These persons have Pallas conjunct Mercury: Lysander Spooner, Tom Woods, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Ayn Rand, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Thomas Sowell, Ralph Nader, Rush Limbaugh, Antonio Gramsci, and Niccolo Machiavelli.
A Mercury aspect very strongly brings out the libertarian quality of Pallas, even more so than an aspect from the Sun. With regard to political ideology, it is much easier for Sun-Pallas aspects to be mitigated or nullified by other factors than it is for Mercury-Pallas aspects. Sun-Pallas persons, understandably, tend to be more visibly active in politics.
PALLAS AND VENUS
PART I: BEAUTY
One of the most visible manifestations of Pallas-Venus connections may be the ability to “weaponize” or strategically employ one’s attractiveness and charm, perhaps to advance one’s career. Pallas-Venus contacts appear to be all but mandatory among Hollywood actresses. Exceptions exist but are unusual. Here are a few dozen female media personalities noted for their attractiveness:

At this point I don’t know what factor(s) other than gender determine whether Pallas-Venus applies to loveliness, lucre, or both.

PALLAS AND JUPITER
Jupiter has a specific and somewhat strange effect on Pallas when in aspect to her. When the aspect is harmonious or neutral (conjunction, trine, quintile, quincunx, sextile, or novile) there is no negative effect. When the aspect is dis-harmonious (opposition, square, sesquiquadrate, semisquare, or quindecile), the native’s political ideology moves away from libertarianism and the native has fewer objections to the use of force in attaining one’s goals.
Pallas-Jupiter aspects of any kind may confer a talent for teaching and publicity:

Karl Marx had Pallas conjunct Saturn. The prophet of the far political Left expropriated communism from the fringes of Christian culture and built out of it a religion unto itself, complete with its own philosophical foundation, moral code, and eschatology. The structure he built inspired revolutions and empires after his death, and continues to win followers to this day, to the profit of some and the detriment of others.
Lew Rockwell has Pallas conjunct Saturn. The founder and president of the Ludwig von Mises Institute built the world’s greatest intellectual resource for the libetarian movement and has acted as a largely unseen but crucial support for libertarian champion Ron Paul.

PALLAS AND PLUTO
Pallas-Pluto natives tend to show a facility for the understanding and manipulation of deep psychological energies, sex, violence, politics, and banking. In many cases, these natives are very adept at deception and subterfuge, and can successfully present a public persona that is contrary to their actual nature. This aspect is common among politicians, high-level bankers, career military, and violent criminals.
Pallas-Pluto aspects of any kind are an anti-libertarian factor. They increase a natives’s openness to the use of force and violence (and therefore government) to attain one’s ends. While disharmonious Pallas-Jupiter aspects have a similar effect, in the case of Pluto the native is more likely to personally use force and violence rather than merely approve of it. Aspects from Pallas or her sign ruler(s) to the Sun, Mercury, and/or the lunar Nodes generally counteract this effect, as do aspects from Pallas to the sign ruler(s) of Sun and Mercury.
These persons have Pallas conjunct Pluto: Sigmund Freud, Hugh Hefner, Dennis Miller, Jack Kemp, Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Harry Truman, Michael Moore, Warren Buffett, George Soros, Kim Il-Sung, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Peter the Great, Richard Allen Davis, TS Eliot, and interestingly, Dalai Lama XIV.
Obviously, many persons who do not commit significant acts of violence will have Pallas-Pluto connections. Many of these will have mitigating factors such as Pallas in connection with the Sun, Mercury, or the North Node. Other factors as yet undiscovered probably also come into play.
