While Sarah Palin continues to get hacked and cleeved, and Obama rides the economic tsunami to a ten-point-surge, halfway around the world, another woman is getting ready to enter the octagon of full-contact, geo-politics and will play as important a role in world peace as Obama and McCain. Her name is "Tzipi Livni." She is in a position to succeed Israel's embattled Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, who is stepping down due to multiple charges of corruption during his tenure as PM. Livni secured the top spot of succession by defeating Transport Minister, Shaul Mofaz, by a mere 431 votes. She has the potential to be Israel's first, elected woman PM and it's first since Golda Meir was appointed.
Ms. Livni was born on July 8, 1958. A quick look at the ephemeris shows her to be a Cancer Sun, with Moon and Mars in Aries, Venus in Gemini, Mercury in Leo, conjunct Uranus in Leo. Her Cancer Sun is at 16 degress, just four degrees off of The US Sun at 12 degrees. This indicates that Ms. Livni has a strong connection with the soul of The US. Livni was raised by hardcore Zionist parents and was a member of The Mossad, and yet she is considered a moderate, even dovish candidate, by the hardliners, with perhaps the last, best chance of delivering peace in The Middle East by the liberals.
She is the winning candidate of The Kadima Party run-off, a party that was begun in opposition to the hard line Likud. Kadima was founded in part by Ariel Sharon's conversion of the Palestinian issue towards a vision of a separate state. Ms. Livni was elevated and promoted by Sharon who was impressed by her intelligence and the ability to wear her opponents down in argument and debate.
Ironically she is being questioned for her lack of experience. Sound familiar? She's also been accused by her opponents of indulging in Obamaesque messiah posturing, dubbing her "The Golden Girl." So she's been pegged a little Palin, a little Obama and by looking at her chart, she actually is.
Her Mars in Aries is conjunct with Palin's Jupiter in Aries. Her Moon in Aries (degree unknown) is in harmony with Palin's Venus in Aries. In lay terms, what does this mean? It means that if the two of them were ever in a position to end a war or escalate it, they would agree quickly and work towards that goal together with little discord between them. In Ms. Livni, Sarah Palin would have an ally, especially since Livni's Sun rests in Palin's fourth house. Livni's Jupiter in Libra could potentially balance out Palin's hawkish tendencies as it would oppose Palin's ascendant in Aries. With Jupiter in Libra, she is a peacemaker, with her Sun in Cancer, she is an empath.
On the Obama side of the equation, she has Mercury in Leo at 5 degrees in a wide conjunction of Obama's Sun at 11 degrees. The two of them would get along just fine and form a mutual admiration society, as Obama has his Mercury in Cancer and Livni, as we have already determined, her Sun, however the two planets are too far apart to form a true conjunction. Nevertheless, they will share a similar cadence and understanding in relating.
As far as her being able to work with John McCain, the most striking aspect between the two is the Saturn/Jupiter conjunction in Sagitarrius. Livni has Saturn at 20 degrees Sag and McCain, Jupiter, 15 degrees Sag. The two of them could strike a very workable balance between optimism and pragmatism, when it comes to ideals concerning liberty and freedom.
Livni has about six weeks to bring he new government together, unifying various parties and special interests. If she does, she will play a significant role in the peace making process of The Middle East, no matter who The US President is and she has enough cosmic accord to work with Obama/McCain/Palin on a process that could usher in real change and hope for one of the most problematic, tragic and turbulent places on the planet during one of the most critical phases in our modern history.
