Jul 19: Edgar Degas & Lizzie Borden
Posted: Tue Oct 05, 2021 8:28 am
Degas, Edgar. Jul 19, 1834, 8:30 PM, Paris, France (AA).
Borden, Lizzie. Jul 19, 1860, 9:46 AM LMT, Fall River, MA (A).
Degas's chart - among other things, including his being an excellent example of Cancer in the arts - is a good example of a chart for someone born into wealth which supports him substantially, and also very strong family and national ties. His Mercury is much more angular than it appears (within 1°). In many ways, his mundoscope is more expressive of his life than his horoscope, although the Moon-Pluto square describes his personal traits well.
Lizzie Borden's sign placements, if nothing else, make clear that she had parent issues! Her aspects portray her as a creature of enormous passions. Three dignified planets surely aided her. Her Moon-Jupiter conjunction is much too wide to be credited with her significant inheritance from her mother; unlike Degas' chart, this one doesn't particularly suggest privilege to me.

McGovern, Sen. George. Jul 19, 1922, 3:00 AM CST, Avon, SD (A).
