HOROSCOPE OF ANGELA MERKEL
German Chancellor Angela Merkel was born in Hamburg on July 17, 1954, therefore she belongs to the Cancer sign and has Sagittarius as her ascendant.
The first impression when viewing her birth chart is the similarity of this with that of the North American country, in both cases we find a sun in Cancer with Sagittarius ascendant, the moon in Aquarius and Saturn and Neptune elevated, Jupiter is also positioned in both cases in the Cancer sign and sector number seven, even refining a bit we can see how Mrs. Merkel's Jupiter is in conjunction with that of the North American country and its natal sun.
This is merely a coincidence that can serve as an example to explain her way of proceeding, elevated Saturn indicates that the image is one of seriousness and control over the environment, it also indicates strong ambition in some moments that may exceed the marked rules, without Neptune being present. The midheaven indicates that she can be seen as the collective wishes, regardless of what she identifies with.
It is a natal chart undoubtedly favorable for the work she performs, it does not indicate rapid ascent, rather it indicates difficulties, although the ambition of Saturn in sector 10 when well employed promises achievements in the long run.
The large number of planets in sector seven, the one related to others, agreements and contracts, indicates she is engaged in social matters in this case political, Jupiter in Cancer and alongside Mercury is an optimal aspect for reaching agreements, signing treaties, and converting them into public or social support.
In Spain we have Mariano Rajoy with this same position although in a different place, it is an aspect that favors public popularity and in her case is what marks her as a political leader, Jupiter is the planet indicated for observing her diplomatic nature, it will always be colored by the need for approval from her own, her people, her folk, her party. Precisely this need for approval from her 'people' is what may incline her to belittle those who do not belong to her circle.
On the favorable side it indicates social sensitivity and need to protect her people, being this an aspect that favors much more within the scope of her nation, nevertheless with Sagittarius ascendant if she commits clearly to a European commitment she will tend to favor in the same way those who are like-minded to her.
She has Mars in her natal chart in sector number one and Sagittarius, indicating her disposition for adventure, in reality this chart hides an evident need to take risks and venture on one hand, and caution and control of the conservative image on the other.
She has the moon in the sign of Aquarius, the moon in a political leader does not indicate how it affects the people and how they respond to this effect, with the moon in Aquarius one tends to seek a technical and general solution, one is usually open to innovation, and the people find concrete scientific and technical schemes.
The most curious aspect of her natal chart is the one that unites the sun with Uranus, being this the most strange within a very coherent chart, it indicates sudden changes and need to adopt positions different from her environment, being very original in her approach, which is not synonymous with modern or avant-garde, she also has the sun in square with Neptune, other aspects that indicate the metamorphosis she is capable of experiencing if necessary before the public.
A change of image can be experienced in which everyone is surprised, it would not be rare with a chart like this, in any case between the image she gives and what she really does there is a notable difference, at this moment Saturn makes conjunction with the highest part of her natal chart and at the same time square with the sun, the sun means her social power, meaning this a diminishment of this and a time of restriction.
It is interesting to observe how the chart of the conservative leader Mariano Rajoy and that of the conservative leader Angela MERKEL have evident similarities, and it could happen that she finds easy understanding, however the benefit of the Spaniard to the German is more likely than the reverse, Rajoy's Jupiter is in conjunction with MERKEL's sun, something like stimulating her most progressive part and capable of treading on rarely traveled grounds.
