Astrological Chart of Colin Powell


Astrological natal chart of Colin Powell, General Colin Luther Powell, ret., born April 5, 1937.

An Aries, it's no wonder he took the position he has taken in being a Republican who supports Obama. Colin Powell doesn't like a rut. Also he believes in being totally honest, true to himself and his own vision and conviction even if it means standing alone. Fire is strong in Colin Powell's chart, so he prizes being independent and acting autonomously, and with Leo rising, he loves to do things in a unique and dramatic way, always the individual.

To me, as an astrologer, I see in his Leo rising (the face he shows the world), that McCain might have been a threat to Colin Powell's pride and/or vanity, in some way offending him, or simply because Colin Powell doesn't like to 'compete' with people who are strong. "Transformational" is not the same thing as "strong," you understand. Or perhaps it was the Republican party itself Colin Powell felt ignored by -- as an Aries with Leo rising, and Mars Trine Asc., he may well have thought of himself as a tidy vice-presidential candidate, or even presidental candidate; who knows.

"Stunning both parties" is Colin Powell's style, and his own unique stand. He would feel no compunction about critiqueing anything or anyone, from his personal perspective.

It doesn't get much stronger than an Aries with a Leo rising.

With Uranus in the 10th house, it's no surprise he would shae things up, especially if it has the special allure of challenging the mainstream, or status quo. In talking about Obama, Gen. Colin Powell may be talking about what he might have wanted to do himself. Whether you believe it or not, Powell evidentally believes that Obama can be transformational - making a a critical progressive change in the world.
