Kamala Harris: Chart of a Diplomat

With Gemini Sun Donald Trump, everything is a game of performance and trickery, making his audience think they’ve won the Golden Ticket when in fact they’ve won, well, nothing. So Libra Sun Kamala’s got to get comfortable in the role of Performer, not Professional, if she’s going to beat Trump in the debates. That said, the best asset for Kamala is her Aries Moon. Confidence is the name of Aries’ game, and no sign hates to lose more than Aries. So surely she’ll have at least one ace up her sleeve—no matter what Willy Wonka throws her way.

Johnny Depp: Chart of a Sauvage

With Gemini Man, there’s a definite “Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde Effect” that’s inescapable, where the formerly sparkly side evaporates and suddenly the horns come out. On an interpersonal level, this can be disastrous; yet it’s easy to see how it’s served Johnny Depp professionally: even the characters he plays all exhibit a marked extremism in their examination of the duality of “man v. beast.” From Edward Scissorhands to Willy Wonka to Jack Sparrow—the roles that have come to define him as an actor all revolve around the idea of someone who’s “lovable but dangerous.” So, who is Johnny Depp?

Lance Armstrong: Chart of a Liar

Along with the North Node and Midheaven, Saturn is the planetary symbol of our purpose in life. And with Saturn at a tight angle to Lance Armstrong’s natal Moon and Mercury, any lying, obfuscating or games he might’ve played with his closest comrades (7th house) would inevitably lead to the demise of his much sought-after reputation and social status (10th house). With so much emphasis on mutable signs of Gemini and Virgo, at odds with one another in the angular 7th and 10th houses, it was in his nature to lie (or, in his mind, to “do whatever it takes”) to get to the get the gold.

Beyonce Knowles: Chart of a D-I-V-A

With her Ascendant in Libra, Sun in Virgo and Scorpio Moon, Beyonce is nothing if not a consummate perfectionist. The evolved Virgo Woman learns from Experience and is thus able to change, breaking longstanding patterns that may have been self-destructive or even antithetical to unleashing her true creativity. Just as releasing herself from the staid Perfection Obsession ends any period of creative stagnation and erosion of personal relationships, by learning to let her guard down, Virgo woman allows herself to be human. In doing so, she experiences divine emotional release, finding ways to work it, check up on it, et al.—by doing things her own way (for once). But only once Perfection is forsaken can Virgo Woman make Lemonade & become her truest self.
