Nicole Brown Simpson

There was a groundedness to Nicole Brown Simpson, born in Frankfurt in 1959 to a German mother and an American father, second of four sisters. Her Sun sits in Taurus, the earthy Venusian pillar, the bull who builds a foundation of values and holds it: sensual, patient, loyal to what she loved. In the second house that solar light shines through home, family and the tangible comforts she gathered around her children. She was the rock, the one who valued quality over noise.

Her Moon in Libra is a beautiful moon, Aphrodite herself, a psyche that finds peace through harmony and hates a broken scale. In the seventh house of partnership, her emotional world lived inside her closest bond, always reading the person before her, almost never wanting to be alone. It is the tenderest and most vulnerable of placements, one that can keep the heart tethered to a relationship long after it has stopped being safe.

Her Pisces Ascendant met the world as the gentle, soulful empath, the sponge for other people's feelings. She married O. J. Simpson in 1985, mothered two children, and left in 1992. In June 1994 she was murdered at her Los Angeles home alongside Ron Goldman. We remember her with love, and with clear eyes.
