Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher -astro analysis

-
Meryl Streep a Cancerian born June 22 1949 has entranced the world with her Iron Lady movie portrayal of formidable British Prime Minister Margaret [Maggie] Thatcher, a Libran born October 13 1925
Baroness Margaret Thatcher died following a stroke
 on April 8 2013, aged 87

They have some interesting astrological similarities and contrasts
see 2016 addendum re Theresa May
Rust in Peace -grafitti seen after Thatcher's death announced April 2013
Meryl born at zero degrees Cancer has the sign of womanhood/motherhood to the fore in her personal makeup and Maggie was, for good or ill, the Mother of the Nation - her Moon at the top of the chart emphasises a parental role but not a publicly warm and sensitive one as  suggested by the Leo Moon with Neptune. Pluto connects tightly to Maggie Thatcher's moon emphasising her ruthless streak.
Both women have a lot of cardinal sign planets - Cancer-Aries-Libra-Capricorn    -Meryl 3 plus 2 nodes; Maggie - 5
So both have the mother-amazon-lady-high achiever archetypes all blended in their persona from the 4 signs
Even the term Iron Lady typifies the energies of Mars-Aries and Venus-Libra

Meryl Streep birthchart from astro.com


Meryl with Mercury and Mars conjunct in Gemini has an active and clever mind, well suited to languages and various forms of speaking.
Margaret has Mercury conjunct the Sun in Libra -an air (of the mind) sign like Gemini -but the Libran influence gave her a cultured diction - as well as a Ladylike appearance.
Both women are mentally tough.

 Both have multiple planetary aspects to their Sun and so possess strong personalities with many complex dimensions.
The emphasis for Maggie drew her towards public life and an elevated position of power (Jupiter in Capricorn exact opposite Pluto in Cancer - both square the Sun)
For Meryl -  Pluto semisquare, Saturn sextile, Uranus exact conjunct the sun provides a mixed bag of driving forces with Pluto in Leo providing the creative drive for her acting career.

 Both have strong Capricorn/Saturn resonance even having names stating with M = number 4 = Saturn
Margaret was born on the 13th = 4, and Meryl on the 22nd which is a Master Number with the higher vibration of 4 = high level of responsibility on a large scale.
Where Margaret Thatcher gets the large scale level of responsibility from the strong trio of Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter joining forces at average 14 degrees.
The significance of this grouping is reinforced by Saturn so prominently placed- [ far left horizon point - AC] Psychologically this is the position showing the process of being born: Saturn indicates a probable life-death struggle, emotionally difficult, hard work for both mother & baby Margaret. But the phoenix arises via the ascendant sign Scorpio's link to Pluto -the other heavy hitter in the trio - showing triumph over extreme adversity was in her blood. The involvement of Cancer via Pluto and Capricorn via Jupiter shows the profound effect Thatcher had on both the private, domestic [Cancer] and public policy and governing conditions [Capricorn] in Great Britain - as well as like-minded parliamentary democracies abroad. An extremely powerful survival instinct had been imprinted at birth in Margaret Thatcher, all packaged in the demeanour dress and manner of a refined British Lady. 
Her politics were forged in the ethic of survivalism, in particular survival of the fittest.
This is just a brief appraisal, not including full chart analysis.

July 2016 addendum

British Conservative MP Theresa May has topped the first ballot to take the leadership of the Conservative Party

Strikingly she shares many Thatcher flavours: a Libran Sun with Saturn in Scorpio, a strong Mars-Jupiter contact, a strong Saturn-Pluto contact - but even though Thatcher had no retrograde planets - allowing full outer expression versus internalised, May has Saturn and Pluto linked to the lunar nodal axis in a signature of immense political potency -at risk of excessive dominance, power abuse of the "running roughshod" variety. Being, so far, described as a "tough cookie" will be regarded as gently complimentary when her full arsenal is revealed.
She has the capacity to operate in a deeply covert manner -with excellent planning and plotting skills aboard. [Mars-Neptune, Pluto-Mercury, ]

May has the capacity to out-Thatcher Thatcher and her stocks will rise in 2017 as transiting Uranus boosts her Pluto power and Saturn climbs to 29 Sagittarius by mid December 2017, providing a hi-octane level of political clout.

The north node position can reveal a lot about a person's impact upon the masses. Her node being in Pisces reinforces the role played also by Neptune in her chart: Neptune energy is a perfect tool for actors to embody because it enables great fluidity shape-shifting mystery - which means being able to play a variety of roles.

A suggested complex of planetary factors is given here - represesenting the implosion forces that authorities consider destroyed the Titan submersible on June 18 with total loss of life. Implosion in extreme environments describes the immense pounds per square inch pressure at oceanic depth or in outer space as a consequence of gravity     OXFORD Dictionary definition and NOAA [US Govt] definition The immediate suspects in extreme pressure causing implosion in terms of planetary forces are Saturn [gravity] Jupiter [immense] Pluto [power/force]  Typically in events of violent destruction such as nuclear forces gas explosions Uranus is also prominent due to the dramatic degree of change unleashed in anything or person subjected to such a force.

 Uncovering  Secrets of The Gilgo Beach Graveyard Beyond the realm of Long Island and greater New York City where the chilling unsolved Gilgo Beach homicide cases had posed an unsolved puzzle for more than a decade - the world was suddenly confronted on July 14 2023 with a promising breakthrough in at least some of the cases that were uncovered in that location in December 2010 while searching for missing 23 year old Shannan Gilbert from New Jersey Local news for me re the bigger Long Island story came as “an architect arrested in New York” and charged with counts of murder - making this a serial offender situation and one of greater public interest when a person with professional credentials and likely well known is hauled into Police custody.  The question arises:  why would someone with so much to lose put themselves in such jeopardy?

Find the enlarged chart view here This is based on a birth time quoted as 10.58 am on the Astrotheme site in Jeddah/Jiddah, Saudi Arabia No guarantee can be given re the accuracy of this data. Here are some brief observations to provide a more nuanced look at this widely known -and feared person, who has been depicted in a rather one-dimensional manner by the world press. Astrologers can, when given accurate birth data, present the bigger picture, the contradictions and complexities that show no one is totally good, no one totally evil. Bin Laden is a Pisces, with Mercury and Venus in Pisces. Not the face of terrorism, but the face of faith. It is only when we dig deeper, do the defining aspects of Bin Laden's life and death reveal themselves. The Pisces group is the most elevated = 10th house of the chart - where a person comes into public view.  Next look at Neptune, the carrier of the Pisces themes.

Extreme weather events  are repeatedly shown  through astrological factors  to be born many weeks/months  prior to their unfoldment   Astrology allows us to look at the birth and the development up until the matured energy is unleashed Preceding eclipses typically have a significant influence due to providing a resonant energy that remains latent and awaiting a match that activates the eclipse event energy potentials   By example this introductory update  involves a recent and a distant event in the same location : 1977 and 2022 Comparing factors re  the   January 1977 Blizzard  Western New York State   and the December 2022 Bli
