Dan White's chart mostly fits the pattern of self-destructive behaviors I'm tracking - a chart of a person who is likely to do harm, either to himself or others (in this case, both). Mars closely rises, with moderately foreground Neptune the only other angular planet. Leo-Scorpio luminaries seem mostly outward-directed - harming others. He doesn't have the obvious markers of blaming others for his own problems except (well, maybe he does) the strongly angular Mars and perhaps the "spoiled" 06' Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Libra.

That 0°06' Venus-Jupiter conjunction is interesting. If his alleged sugar metabolism extreme reactions (the basis of his "Twinkie Defense") were real, this is where it shows.

An example of how the subtleties of birth time are important, White was born two days before astrologer Liz Greene - even with the same Moon-sign.

Christa McAuliffe's chart is interesting in different directions. Her double Leo luminaries shouldn't be missed - for many reasons but (I'm thinking at the moment) perhaps especially the distinctive Leo phenomena of many great buildings being named after her. Mundanely her Moon-Sun conjunction is only 0°37' wide (in contrast to 5°27' ecliptically) and part of a 5H stellium.
