Michelle Obama – most requested chart
(Reprise – first published July, 2008)
By the numbers:
Michelle is an 11/2 destiny. Eleven is a ‘master number’ that always holds its own value as well as the value of the two.
The 11 is charismatic, inspired, spiritual, excited and can sometimes be impractical unless, like Michelle, the 11 is combined with other strong numbers. The 2, the day-to-day expression of the 11/2, is diplomatic and sensitive and represents the qualities of a good partner or manager, the ability to stand back and let others lead the way.
Michelle’s personality is 8. She is strong with natural executive abilities. She needs to be in control.
Michelle is not missing any numbers. This doesn’t mean that she does not have things to learn in this life but that lessons are not concentrated in one or more particular areas.
By the planets:
We don’t have a birth time for Michelle so we construct a chart called a Solar Chart. This chart puts the Sun where the ascendant would be in a Natal chart and the houses start with the birth sign. This chart is a valid chart and is actually better for seeing actual physical events while the Natal chart is better for interpreting the effect or purpose of the events. The weakness of the Solar Chart is that there is no Ascendant and we can’t know the placement of the Moon as it moves a degree every two hours.
Michelle’s Sun is Capricorn: old when you are young, young when you are old. Capricorn children usually get the message that they have to *do something* so they usually grow up determined to succeed. (Note: The full moon last night fell on Michelle’s sun, i.e. put her in the spotlight so that is perhaps why I am doing this now, using prep work that I set aside months ago.)
The Moon/Venus/Mars planets in Michelle’s chart show that she is creative and wants to be inspired by anything she does and is attracted to partners who are idealistic, charismatic and unique. She doesn’t have strong aspects between these planets and her very practical Capricorn and Virgo planets so it is hard for her to integrate all of herself into her day-to-day life at any one time.
The Synastry with Barack
Barack is missing a 7 and would look to a partner who represents that number. Michelle has a 7 but only as the energy that she expresses, i.e. she *looks* like a 7.
Barack’s Ascendant is 17 Scorpio and Michelle’s Neptune is 17 Scorpio. Ebertin calls this combination ‘mutual delusion, mutual make-believe, deception and deceit’ so there are, at the least, some illusions about their relationship.
There is a trine between their Venuses which is nice as Venus is the planet that most represents the love nature. There is also a compatibility in that neither chart expresses a lot of emotion but their Moons are square to each other so, on a day-to-day basis, they would get on each other’s nerves.
Barack’s Saturn is one degree from Michelle’s Sun, a classic hook There is always an important Saturn connection between people who marry as it indicates they have lessons to learn from each other.

Any comments on her Mercury inconjunct 1 degree approaching & Mars and Mercury Square Jupiter?
The Astrologer’s Dictionary’s descriptions and Barack’s own admission that Michelle is the boss (hence Mercury inconjunct Mars / Mercury square Jupiter (Zeus)) and a notion of a rapidly emerging NWO is troublesome.

sorry…I’m not seeing those transits…generally speaking, Mercury and Mars transits pass in a matter of days and are not that significant unless they trigger a long lasting transit of one of the ‘outer’ planets…Saturn, Uranus, Neptune or Pluto.
