“…I have an austere temperament,” she says. “There are things that give me no pleasure: objects, clothes, jewelry. I’ve worn them all, but all that stuff interferes with my daily life.” She does her own hair. According to her friend Farida Khelfa, “Carla hates shopping and would wear the same pair of trousers every day if she could.” Makeup doesn’t interest her—”It takes forever and doesn’t make you look better after 30…”

Her chart is here & what do we see???

She has a poetic, musical & romantic Grand Water Trine with her Cancerian Ascendent trine Venus/Neptune in Scorpio and Chiron in Pisces. She has to have a creative outlet…Her Nodes are the reverse of Madonna’s so she comes comes from luxury but with the vision of learning to value more subtle manifestations of the light. Note – the literal meaning of luxury is ‘of the light’.

Saturn in Aries on the Midheaven – climbs, responsibility will become a leader as Uranus first squares her Sun at Zero degrees of Cap and then crosses the Saturn & midheaven from 2011 and beyond…Through annhilating (Uranus) some dominant paradigm?  Or a stupendous scandal? Moon-Pluto in Virgo…Austere temperament indeed. Would not pay to cross her…Maternal mortality as cause of her heart so fits the astro.

It just occurred to me that there seem to be two broad types of Capricorn….The austere ones & a slightly more earthy & robust variety a la Nigella Lawson – she of the cupcakes, goosefat and pragmatic sense of  humour.

It’s the same with Aquarians: You get the ravingly bats don’t-fence-me-in Uranian types & then a more Saturnine version (Saturn being the ancient ruler of Aquarius, before Uranus was discovered) with the clinical demeanour and dislike for anything not scientifically proven. Pisceans too are often either Jovial or Neptunian…As in Jupiter was their ruler before Neptune.  So you get these bon-vivant Pisceans prancing about who are more like Sagg & then these Neptunian entrancers gliding about, between worlds & official mystics.

Okay, so the French Justice Minister gave birth to a daughter last week & this article in the Daily Mail is at first about how she has returned to work, glamorous & happy. But she – a Saggo – is quite fascinating. She won’t say who the father is & so speculation in France is naturally rife.

“A host of magazine covers have celebrated her against-the-odds success story as the second of 12 children born to a Moroccan labourer and illiterate Algerian mother, hailing her as the new face of France.” She is France’s first female Muslim minister. “Miss Dati herself has said: ‘I left school at 16, my family was not privileged and I struggled for many years. My life is not a beautiful story.’ …Dati, who had an arranged marriage annulled in her youth, said it was ‘fundamental’ for her to have a child.”  More here.

Her astro is interesting: She has the Moon, Mars, Venus and Midheaven all close together in Capricorn so tremendous drive to draw upon and she is in the middle of a Saturn transit. Saturn is crossing her Fifth house (children, creative self-expression) Uranus & Pluto. And Uranus is on her natal Chiron & Ceres in Pisces. So the Saturn-Uranus opposition is playing out quite powerfully. Taurus Rising means she can radiate placidity, dignity & strength through all this.
