Black Chiron

Note: This post was originally written in June 2015 “I began writing about power because I had so little”  –  Octavia Butler Last month (June) was Octavia Butler’s birthday. I planned on posting something about her yesterday, but got sidetracked by some other things. There was no birth time available for Octavia so I chose noon. Being the amazing writer that she was I wanted to see how her Mercury functions within her chart. Needless to say, I wasn’t disappointed.  Mercury ,  Venus  and the  Moon  are quite strong in her chart as well as  Uranus. It doesn’t surprise me that she was such an amazing writer and creative force with these two planets ( Uranus/Mercury ) prominent in her chart.Uranus is very much associated with sci-fi and progressive thinking (Octavia explored issues such as race, gender and religion) Uranus is the avant-garde, quirkiness; the individual that thinks outside of the box and is often an  outsider .

Born Robert Nesta Marley on February 6th, 1945, Bob has quite a bit of air in his chart. His Sagittarius ascendant and Juno in Gemini also gives some insight into his relationships with women.

When looking at Angela Davis’ chart, there is no denying the brilliance, bravery and non-traditional energies she embodies. She pretty much emerged from the womb ready to take on the world Early nurturing influences Born Angela Yvonne Davis on January 26 th  1944, in Birmingham, Alabama (at 12:30 PM)  her most elevated planet is her Sun in  Aquarius  right on the Midheaven. Aquarius, more than any sign in the Zodiac, is always more than willing to fight for the collective consciousness and embrace radical concepts. Her Sun conjuncts the  South Node  in Aquarius and trines  Neptune in Libra  in the 6 th house of service; It has been her life’s purpose to serve humanity and possibly in a past life (South Node) as well. This spirit of activism was influenced heavily by her mother. Angela’s Moon, associated with the mother and nurturing, is in Aquarius as well and trines  Ceres  (mother to Persephone, nurturing, parenting) in thought ...
