Disturbing chart, similar to KC, he has debilitated MERCURY Retrograde in Pisces. He likely has a square between MOON-NEPTUNE.

It is possible he may have tendency to be *too compassionate*, although he likely is very intuitive and (with any luck) may be able to *see through* KC's (Defense's) smoke & mirrors. But frankly, I am not holding my breath on that one.........
With the closeness in birth dates, their SUNs are conjunct and his SUN, like hers, would square her MAR/URANUS 23 - 25 Sagittarius.
If his MOON is in Capricorn, he could be structured, less prone to emotional decisions. (MOON could range from approx. 29 Sagittarius - 11 Capricorn.) There is a reasonable probability his MOON opposes KC's MOON (but we can't place a whole lot of weight on MOON positions).
His SATURN is weakened, in detriment (Leo) and Retrograde.
His strongest planets appear to be MARS & JUPITER (the Law) which are in mutual reception as JUPITER is the traditional ruler of the Pisces MARS and MARS, of course, rules Scorpio, the sign containing JUPITER. Thank goodness for that!
However, I don't like that his MERCURY-MARS conjunction in Pisces is inconjunct his natal NEPTUNE. This aspect
may undermine his perspective.
If any of the Sleuths can provide more background information on this Judge JHA Sr, please post. I am especially interested in learning more about his track record, what types of decisions he is known for, the level of respect he enjoys amongst colleagues, etc.
In the meantime, does anyone else want to take a crack at his chart? Perhaps I am being too negativistic......
Thanks,
