State Senator Wendy Davis, the Democrat of Fort Worth,
Texas just filibustered a bill in the Texas State Senate that would
have placed new restrictions on abortion clinics and ban the practice
after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
Raised by a single mother she had to go to work at the early age of 14 to help support her mother and younger siblings. She became a single mother herself at just 19 years old. She went back to school and graduated top of her class which enabled to go on to graduate from Harvard Law School.
She
stood and talked for eleven hours, without a single break as the rules
don’t allow any breaks, to challenge the latest abortion restrictions.
According to Wikipedia, Wendy Davis was born on May 16, 1963 in Fort Worth, Texas. She has her Sun in Taurus along with an emphasis of fixed mode, earth element in her chart. This makes her very practical in how she approaches life. Once she has made a decision she will stick to it until the end. She can be inflexible, stubborn but incredibly resourceful.
Taurus is a powerhouse that is not quick to anger but once they become angry they stay that way for a very long time. It takes great passion and stamina to stand for eleven hours and argue your case, a Taurus has these kinds of reserves to draw from when the going gets tough. No amount of time will deter them in their efforts as once their minds and actions are set in place, there is no turning back for them.
Since her birth time is unknown, her Moon is most likely in Aquarius as it was in that sign for most of the day but her Moon could also be in Pisces. The Moon in Aquarius would mean that she will never run out of things to say as Aquarius is an air sign. Air signs are talkative, intellectual, and enjoy debating. Aquarians can be ingenious at times but can also be eccentric. Aquarians make excellent politicians as they truly care for people, the world is their family, they are friendly and objective. Aquarians, however, can sometimes be extreme in their beliefs and decision making.
Her ability to fight non-stop for the causes that she believes in is a combination of her Taurus sun square Mars in Leo. Mars gives her the extra energy to get things done and not be daunted by others. Mars in Leo also means that she is comfortable with being in the spotlight and handles herself well in the public eye.
She is known for being well-dressed and the New York Times called her a fashion icon. Taurus love to indulge in good quality items like designer clothing and combined with her Mars in Leo, she may enjoy showing off a fabulous wardrobe.
She has overcome many difficulties in life that many would not have been able to triumph over. Her Sun is square Saturn which indicates the lack of a father figure but also the hardships she endured in making her way early in life. Also, her Moon conjunct Saturn reiterates her struggling in her youth with adversity, lack of money, and possibly having a difficult time expressing herself fully.
She may have suffered from insecurity due to her family life and becoming a single mother as a teenager. However, her Saturn is powerful in Aquarius and with its aspects to both her Lights indicates that in her later years she would be able to achieve status and renown.
Saturn makes one work hard and perfect what they do before fulfilling their ambitions. However, once they have achieved their goals, they are able to do so with an exactness and gravity that can only come from experience and discipline.
While Taurus may often be described as a bit indulgent or lazy at times, this is not the case with her as Saturn and Mars pushes her to work. This also shows that nothing came easy. Saturn in Aquarius also gives her the talent for working well with groups.
Mars opposing Saturn gives her the ability to act wisely, wait for the right opportunity before pushing forward and give her patience and endurance. The unfortunate interpretation is that her life may be in danger at times. This was shown when her office was firebombed in 2012 allegedly by a homeless man.
As transiting Pluto moves in to trine her Sun and Mercury, you can expect her to become more and more powerful. She is said to be running for Governor next, with this chart, she has already won.
