But the nature of her Aquarian Planets is the healing of the inconsistent ego and dominance of her male past life. She would meet all of her past life enemies with the fifth house south node which is fine for her immediate environment of the 6th and Neptune in the 3rd, but at the larger collective, which she is destined with the 11th house north node in Cancer can be successful if she softens her warrior.

She is good looking, strong, smart, connected socially and visionary with that much aquarian. But if she expreses too much Aquarian Idealism, without her Virgo to ground it, a place like the white house is not the place to express it. But as a judge at the white house, yes, she can be as idealistic as she wants and use her visions to guide her for the collective.

I think Virgo rising suits Palin quite well, the prissy, passive-aggressive bossiness, the “know it all” yet martyred attitude, as well as her chip-on-the-shoulder hyper-sensitivity to criticism. The snarkiness… Not to mention her control-freak ways. To me she doesnt have the effortless charm or graciousness of a Leo. Leos tend not to be so snarky and NEVER play the victim card. Also Leos exude confidence above all else, which is what Palin lacks above all else. Obama and Bill Clinton are both good examples of Leos, the types that exude authority without ever having you seem them work at it. Virgos are more the scrappy underdogs who keep chugging at it against the odds. Virgo McCain and his role as the Maverick outsider is quite Virgoan, and it would add to the synergy. Todd is another Virgo in her realm. (her pluto is conjunct his sun). A 6:00 or slightly later TOB would put both McCain and Todds Sun on her AC.

My dream chart for palin would be at 6:25 to have Pluto and Uranus on the ascendant with Pluto in the 1st and Uranus in the 12th, because the woman does have her secrets and she has a way of keeping a lot of things out of the spotlight and springing them out in the open only after its too late to do anything (daughters pregnancy). The sheer number of hidden, kooky yet plausible rumours, including the birth of trig, would make uranus in the 12th plausible. Pluto and uranus conj asc would explain why some people see her as commanding and influential while others see her as a nutjob.

Having all those planets conjunct in the 6th also makes a lot of sense. As much as I dislike her, I do think she is a bit of work horse, what she lacks in intellect or vision, she makes up for by just keeping her nose to the grindstone. She seems to take a lot of her identity from her work (Sun in 6th house). All her identity seems a crafted facade to promote her career goals, without her ambition she really is quite empty, as I dont think she has much else outside of her “job”. I do believe when she wants something nothing stands in her path, she just goes for it (Mars in the 6th) and she does build solid foundations in work (saturn), even without much experience, but just out of sheer will.

I also like her Neptune in the 3rd trining Uranus and Pluto, which shows why she is so skilled at vague, groundless oratory that is a true opiate to the masses. Her words also skillfully mask her true quests for power (pluto/uranus in the 12th. In the end though, its her wordiness that keeps her from being taking seriously on the job (sq of saturn/ mars in the 6th)

If placidus is used even 6 pm would put her Merc and Moon in the 5th house of children which would also make sense as she is obviously quite fecund. and she is quite strategic in the ways she uses her children. Venus in the 8th sextile merc and moon in 5th would show her ability to cloud mens minds ; )

I’m veering towards a Virgo rising because of how she gets sarcastic and know-it-all-ish when she’s uncomfortable – classic Virgo rising defense mechanism. Also, her “best foot forward” makeover is as Miss Priss Librarian => Virgo rising.

These people who are thinking she looks like a Leo rising are saying that because of so-called “charisma” and “good looks”. If she was a Leo rising, her hair would RARELY be up in a tidy bun. One thing I have noticed about Leo rising women is that they like BIG HAIR – even if they have to buy it to get it.

I dated an Aquarius with Virgo rising and Venus in Aries…yeah. He’s the male version of Sarah.

This is nifty: Sarah Palin was offered the VP spot on 8/27/08 roughly around 10 am (definitely in the morning in Sedona, no earlier than around 8:45 am). Where was the Sun at that time? 4.46 Virgo. Look at it in sidereal (lahiri): her 6 pm ASC is 10.46 Leo. The transiting Sun was at 10.48 Leo in sidereal. That could suggest that she really is born right around 6 pm, but it’s just one nifty thing.

The Virgo Rising would comport well with how she always seems to have her enemies and competitors, and how she was a local sports hero. That’s because all the Aquarius would be in the 6th house. 6th=enemies, competitors, and thus sometimes sports also. She always has issues getting along with even her allies in the Repub-party. 6th house commonly gives problems with co-workers and so on.

I’m not necessarily convinced, but my first instinct is that the Virgo ASC makes sense, and this is one the ASCs I suspected before this. Her appearance is also neat, clinical, professional, wearing glasses, wearing her hair up. Her m.o. is to be this very critical (“I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities.”) humble, small-town girl, who is also very spunky and aggressive (all her Aquarius in the 6th house).
