Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the congresswoman known to many simply as AOC, shines with a Sun in Libra, the sign of the Scale, whose radiance is aimed not at self but at fairness, balance and everyone getting a fair go. That Venusian hero-self finds its stage in the tenth house, the very throne of the chart, the Sun at high noon that hands its bearer natural visibility and leadership. Little wonder that in 2018 she toppled a ten-term incumbent in the biggest upset of the midterm primaries and took office at twenty-nine as the youngest woman ever to serve in Congress, carrying a platform built on justice: a Green New Deal, Medicare for All, tuition-free college.

Her Moon in Aries is the warrior's psyche, a masculine, Martian nature that finds peace only through action, courage and daring to go first. It sits in the third house of communication, the exalted placement of the storyteller, which explains the fierce eloquence and vast social-media reach that let her speak straight to the human core. Sagittarius rising gives her the mask of the preacher-philosopher, the fiery orator forever making the big-picture case. A former waitress and bartender who studied economics, she fused a Libran love of justice with an Aries will to fight for it.
