Martha Stewart
The Diva of Homemaking and marketing phenomenon, Martha Stewart, was
born on
August 3, 1941 at 1:33 pm in Jersey City, NJ. Like her hard-driving
father,
shown by the Sun conjunct Pluto near the MC in the ninth, which also
points to
her publishing focus, she is absolutely going to be in control of
anything that
touches her life. Not only is the Pluto conjunct the Sun, but square
the
ascendant in Scorpio. But does this extend to the stock market? And
did you know
that she was recently made a member of the New York Stock Exchange
Board of
Directors? There are only 27 members. Said Jacob Zamansky, a
securities lawyer:
"She’s in charge of voting what rules, and actually overseeing the
conduct of
the New York Stock Exchange members, such as Merrill Lynch and these
brokers."
I’d say that’s a bit of control. Further, she has Jupiter, ruler of
her second,
in the 8th house semi-square Pluto. That is possibly obsession with
controlling
investments.
There are two things about her character, though, that are most
interesting.
First, she has Mercury, ruler of the 8th, in Cancer. Mercury in
Cancer is
tricky. It is closely connected to emotional needs, so that the
reasoning
process can be colored by what one "needs" to believe about oneself,
a
situation, an outcome or anything else that is emotionally charged.
My teacher
once said, and this is paraphrased, "As you listen to the deductive
reasoning
process of one with Mercury in Cancer, it sounds plausible, but
somehow, it
seems to have skipped a step or added one. This is only true if the
emotional
need of the person to draw that conclusion is critical."
Secondly, she has the Moon in the second in Sagittarius square
Neptune with only
22 minutes orb. It is the tightest aspect in the chart, and
certainly the crux
of the life. Moon rules the ninth, Neptune the fifth. It is highly
created, but
ego can make the rules; pride can bend them, and she is perfectly
capable of
deception. Saturn is transiting opposite her Moon, and square the
Neptune.
Uranus is squaring her Saturn and Uranus, so responsibility for all
this is
coming due.
The newsletter for Summer and Fall is being mailed out and on the
web site
shortly, in which will be a thorough analysis of this chart and the
pertinent
solar arcs, progressions, etc., thoroughly examined. Also, there
will be
commentary on the stock market.
Announcements
1. The E-Zine will be suspended for awhile so that I can concentrate
on my book
and other important pursuits. I will resume it when I have finished
the basic
research.
2. The newsletter, for the same reason, is going from a quarterly to
a bi-annual
publication. So this list and my mailing list will receive it every
six months
or thereabouts, but it will be longer in content.
3. I have completed a painting of a subject’s spiritual essence as
interpreted
from her natal chart. It will be on the web site soon with more
information
including how to order one for yourself. I will send out an
announcement when it
has been posted. As they are done, more will be added.
