Corazon Aquino

Earth takes six of her ten planets, air two, and a single one apiece in fire and water, with five of the ten cardinal. The Moon, Mercury and Venus fill twelve degrees of Capricorn and Mars, Jupiter and Neptune thirteen degrees of Virgo, so six of the ten sit in those two earth signs. The record says Aquino was a housewife whose husband was shot on an airport tarmac, that she led the People Power revolution that removed Marcos, and that she became the first woman president in Asia.

Six planets in earth, in a record that moves from a house to a presidency, is the count to start from: earth builds and keeps at a thing, and the element that charges at it is down to one planet. A T-square closes on the Moon, Uranus and Pluto without an outlet, which puts feeling between upheaval and concentrated force with nowhere for any of it to go.

Mars sits at an awkward angle to Uranus at four tenths of a degree and the Sun in hard contact with the same Mars at the same orb, so drive is being worked from both sides. Jupiter sits sixty degrees from Pluto at seven tenths, effective power: reform that succeeds, and the ability to recover from setbacks at scale. In the record of a revolution that removed a government, that is the contact a reader should be handed, and it is a standing reading rather than a cause. Mars, Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto were the four retrograde planets.

She died at Makati on 1 August 2009, at seventy six. The Moon was at its first quarter and eighty per cent lit, a phase that acts decisively and often has to break something to do it, which for a president the record credits with a revolution is the phase to leave this on.
