Eva Perón

Eva Perón, the Evita who never left the collective consciousness of Argentina, was born to be seen. Her Sun sat in the first house, one of the most powerful places a luminary can be: the star, the sun god itself, shining simply by being herself. Yet the sign clothing that star was Taurus, the earthy Venusian bull of solid values and unshakeable opinion, and there is the whole of her: a poor girl from the Pampas who arrived in Buenos Aires at fifteen, became a stage and radio actress, and then built something that would not be moved. As First Lady she ran ministries, founded her charitable foundation, won women the vote and created the first large-scale female political party.

Her Moon in Leo is king and queen at the same time, both parents in one, the born performer who feels through the stage and connects heart to heart with a crowd. That Moon fell in the fourth house, its happiest home at the bottom of the chart, so her deepest peace was rooted in belonging; she became a mother to humanity, adored by the descamisados, the shirtless ones. Her Aries Ascendant wore the pioneer's Martian mask, first at everything. Dead of cancer at thirty-three, she was named Spiritual Leader of the Nation.
