JUSTICE O'CONNOR, THE SWINGING SUPREME
(Note
that in this article there is no exact birth time. No person's
chart can be completely understood without the exact time
and place of birth. It is also important to remember that
an astrological chart never encompassess the totality of an
individual.)
Justice Sandra Day O’Connor was the
first woman appointed to the Supreme Court and has been the
determining vote in many 5-4 decisions. Some people speak
of her as the most powerful woman in the United States. She
was appointed by President Reagan, but has proved in her role
as a Justice to be of careful deliberation and independent
mind.
Her birth chart (view
chart) indicates that she’s a practical idealist
(SUN-NEPTUNE conjunction in VIRGO), grounded with the discipline
of a powerful SATURN in CAPRICORN. Emotionally, she is oriented
towards partnership and collegiality (MOON in LIBRA). Typical
of a MOON in LIBRA person, she enjoys close and equal partnerships
and in fact has celebrated her 50th wedding anniversary. With
three planets in LIBRA, she values fairness, justice and balance.
Her MERCURY-MARS square shows her incisive mind.
O’Connor has six or seven out of her
ten planets in CARDINAL signs, demonstrating her action-oriented
personality. Intrepid, she survived breast cancer while serving
on the Court. She is a multi-talented and multi-faceted woman
- an athlete, author and enthusiastic dancer.
Astrologically, Justice O'Connor's birth
chart has numerous fascinating connections with the USA chart
(view chart). In addition, her
progressed chart (see astrological note 2 below) indicates
close connections to the charts of both Bush and Kerry.
In the election of 2000, her role was pivotal
in George W. Bush becoming our President. In 2004, with the
electorate so intensely divided, and lawyers already at work
in many battleground states, one wonders whether the Supreme
Court could again be involved in determining this election.
For the good of the country, it would be preferable to have
a clear winner on Election day but this may not be the case.
Both the election and inaugural charts indicate potential
doubt and confusion.
Astrological Notes:
1. O’Connor’s SATURN moved into
direct motion in her early teens, increasing the likelihood
of eventual career success.
2. A progressed chart shows the additional development of
a person at a certain point in his or her life.
