Chapter Eight

STARS OVER AMERICA

Each of our three personalities has a unique connection to America's chart and its Stars of Destiny. Bill Gates' Sun sign in Scorpio falls in the 6th House of wok in America's chart. He has already influenced America's styles of work, productivity and daily routines. He plans to lead us into the technological future of the 21st century.

In hindsight, we understand O.J. Simpson's role as a captive of American culture at the end of the 20th century. His Sun sign in Cancer falls in America's 2nd house of money and resources. His story and trial revealed the darker side of our legal system, spotlighted the issue that in America if you have the financial resources, "justice" too can be bought for the right price.

Oprah Winfrey's Sun in Aquarius falls in America's 9th house of belief systems and public discourse. She has made, and continues to make, her impact through the media, and now more specifically in areas of inspiration and spiritual values. . .

Although they share some things in common, as we've discovered in their birth charts, in many ways they differ.

Bill Gates has the most imbalanced chart in that he not only has no earth signs but no planets in mutable signs. That fact that he has 6 out of 10 planets in fixed signs indicates his determination; the absence of planets in mutable signs however indicates a lack of adaptability to others. . .

O.J. has a predominance of "easy" aspects (sextiles and trines) in his chart, showing his general facility and good fortune. However, those without difficult aspects in their charts find it harder to cope when the going gets really tough because they haven't had the practice. . .

Oprah has the most complex chart of the three because she has an interwoven pattern of such stressful and such positive features.
