Mary Wollstonecraft

Earth takes four of her ten planets, fire three, water two and a single one air. The Sun sits on the seventh degree of Taurus with the Moon at fourteen and Mercury at twenty seven, so both lights and the planet of speech sit in the same sign, and both lights are certain. The record says Wollstonecraft wrote A Vindication of the Rights of Woman in 1792, arguing that women appear inferior only because they are denied education, and that she died days after giving birth to Mary Shelley.

One planet in air, in the author of a book of sustained argument, is a count worth printing and then leaving alone. Taurus accumulates rather than announces and will tolerate a situation long past the point of usefulness because leaving is more disruptive than staying; a book arguing that an entire condition is manufactured rather than natural is the opposite of tolerating it. The chart and the record disagree here, and the record is the one with evidence.

The Moon sits sixty degrees from Saturn at under four tenths of a degree, which is emotional steadiness: somebody reliable in a crisis who does not require much reassurance. Venus sits a fifth of a turn from Neptune at a third, compassionate love and a real gift for beauty. Mars sits square Jupiter at four tenths, action outrunning sense, and the Moon in mild friction with Uranus at over half. Pluto alone was retrograde. A writer the record credits with one book of argument and a death in childbirth gets a chart whose steadiest contact is about being reliable in a crisis, which is the part of it the record can actually confirm.

She died in London on 10 September 1797, at thirty eight. Uranus stood directly opposite her natal Saturn at twelve hundredths of a degree that day and in easy contact with her natal Moon at just over a quarter. What the record describes is a death in childbirth in the eighteenth century, which was common and is a fact about medicine rather than about a sky. The Moon was disseminating and eighty four per cent lit.
