HOROSCOPE NOTES

Most popular as a romance novelist, Heyer had Libra rising, ruled by Eris in romantic Pisces. With Eris in the 6th House, "some critics thought [her] novels were too detailed, [while] others considered the level of detail [in her work] to be Heyer's greatest asset" (Georgette Heyer, Wikipedia). Relationship asteroid, Juno, rises toward the end of the romantic 12th House in the Gemini (writing) decan of Libra.

Heyer has Mars in the 10th House conjunct her MC indicating a knack for self-promotion, however the Moon and its ruler Saturn in Capricorn in the family-oriented 4th house in opposition to her Mars made her rather publicity-shy: "After her novel These Old Shades became popular despite its release during the General Strike, Heyer determined that publicity was not necessary for good sales. For the rest of her life, she refused to grant interviews, telling a friend: 'My private life concerns no one but myself and my family.'" (Georgette Heyer, Wikipedia). The Moon-Saturn conjunction also opposes her 10th-house Venus, ruler of her 8th House of privacy.

Furthermore, as one of the world's most reculsive bestselling authors, Heyer had Mercury unaspected in Leo except for a conjunction with the Sun which itself was overshadowed by an exact quincunx from Saturn.

Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías (28 July 1954 – 5 March 2013) was the President of Venezuela from 1999 until his death in 2013. He was formerly the leader of the Fifth Republic Movement political party from its foundation in 1997 until 2007, when it merged with several other parties to form the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), which he led until his death.

Following his own political ideology of Bolivarianism and "socialism of the 21st century", he focused on implementing socialist reforms in the country as a part of a social project known as the Bolivarian Revolution, which has seen the implementation of a new constitution, participatory democratic councils, the nationalization of several key industries, increased government funding of health care and education, and significant reductions in poverty, according to government figures.

---

HOROSCOPE NOTES

In an interview, Deborah Ann "Debbie" Harry (born on 1 July 1945) states her Ascendant is Scorpio. She seems to give the wrong Moon sign (Cancer) or it could be a misprint (it's actually Pisces). Harry was adopted a few months after birth. She has reportedly stated that her birth name was Angela Trimble and her birth parents' names on her original birth certificate are Scottish: MacKenzie and Trimble.

NATAL DATA and ASTROLOGY CHART

BIRTH DATA: Angela Trimble: 1 July 1945, between 15:00 and 17:15 (3:00-5:15pm) EWT (+4), Miami, Florida, USA (25n46, 80w11). ASC: Scorpio. RR=C. SOURCE: Sy Scholfield (c) quotes Ascendant Sign from Harry, "Sun in Cancer, Moon in Cancer, Scorpio rising," in a magazine interview: "Deborah Harry: Platinum Blondie" by Glenn O'Brien, Interview (June 1979). NOTES: Harry's birth name was "Angela Trimble" according to the e-book "Chic: The Complete Guide" edited by Wikipedians (Mainz, Germany: PediaPress, 2011), p. 54: "According to Harry's website, her birth parents' names on her original birth certificate are Scottish: MacKenzie and Trimble. She also stated that her name prior to adoption was Angela Trimble." In footnote 93 on page 69 the source is given as "debbie-harry.net/Oracle of Wifi, The only 'official' Deborah Harry website/blog." The website is now defunct. She was named "Deborah Ann Harry" by her adoptive parents. She states that she was adopted and that her age is 65 in this early 2011 interview, so by that account she was born in 1945 (turning 46 later in 2011).
