Obviously, the first thing I noticed is the Mercury retrograde when she withdrew (on January 22. Apparently, lots of communication around her decisions were confused and not well handled. (She does have natal Mercury in Sag on the Ascendant.) Her Asc/Desc axis is 20°16′ Sag/Gemini, so the ongoing Saturn-Uranus opposition is squaring that axis.

On Jan. 22, Saturn was retrograde at 21°20 Virgo, and Uranus at 20°01′ Pisces. Maybe it all was too moving too quickly to feel comfortable to her. I also notice that the press reports on her early interviews talked about how she stammered her words, i.e., repeating “you know” thirty times in one interview (Mercury in Sag?)
According to The Times UK: “Caroline Kennedy’s quest to enter the US Senate has suffered a self-inflicted blow in a series of interviews in which she can only be described as . . . um . . . excruciatingly, you know, unerudite.”

She also was repeatedly described as “aloof”, and “cold” – an quick (and superficial) description of Moon in Aquarius. But, these press reports are interesting as they can capture images that make sense to astrologers..

It’s also interesting, I think, that the “thrust into the public eye” I wrote about in this original post exposed some of these less-than-easy personal traits while the whole world watched..

You’re comments are excellent! I will come back and respond later today when I have a chance to do the calculations…

Thank you for your wonderful participation!
