Helen Keller

Helen Keller is proof that a soul can reach the whole world without sight or sound to guide it. She lost both hearing and vision to illness before she was two, and lived in a wordless dark until, at seven, her teacher Anne Sullivan pressed language into her palm and cracked the world open. From there she climbed, becoming the first deafblind person in America to earn a Bachelor of Arts, at Radcliffe, then pouring herself into fourteen books, hundreds of essays, and a lifetime advocating for the blind across thirty-five countries.

Her Sun sits in Cancer, the maternal, protective heart, the crab who guards a soft interior for the right reasons; she shone as a nurturer of everyone the world overlooked. That Sun rests in the fifth house, the radiant house of self-expression, so she made creativity her mission and turned her own story into art with The Story of My Life. Her Moon in Pisces gave her the ultimate empath's psyche, a sponge tuned to the source, receiving downloads no eyes could see. Rising in Aquarius, the eccentric who loves humanity, she stood as a black sheep and a revolutionary, beating her own drum until the world followed.
