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.
