Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Martha Stewart (Aug 3 1941, 13:33 Jersey City, NJ) is a well-known but less popular native of Cancer than Michael Flatley. Martha also has her Moon in sidereal Sagittarius rather than Cancer. Sun, Pluto and Mercury are in Cancer in 10th. Martha also has navamsa Ketu, Jupiter and Mercury conjunct her natal Sun. Navamsa Jupiter is only a degree from the exact conjunction. I've seen many relevant navamsa-to-natal conjunctions which is one reason I use the Krishnamurti ayanamsa. These navamsa conjunctions add up to a six planet Cancer stellium in Martha's 10th house. Sun is a degree from squaring the ascendant from 10th. Martha brings out another side of Cancer, the liking for entertaining and having a beautiful home. So Cancer may literally be on the stage or make its home a stage for displaying articles of value, tasteful decoration or the preparation of fine meals for others to enjoy. These would seem to be related to Jupiter. Jupiter is the planet that reaches out to the masses, and the Moon is said to relate to popularity. Jupiter in Venus-ruled Taurus is sextile Martha's Sun, so I think this is probably the reason Martha's main emphasis is on home decoration and cooking. Perhaps because the Moon is under the earth without many major aspects, she's not a performer in the arts, but makes her life an art form. The host of Martha Stewart's Living, Martha was convicted of stock irregularities and paid the consequences. Once an expert on " gracious living, " she was convicted of conspiracy and obstruction of justice in an insider stock trading case in 2004. Ketu in 10th, crossing from the navamsa, I think, must be related to her very public legal woes and imprisonment. Beginning with the 1982 publication of her book " Entertaining, " Martha made a name for herself as an expert on home decorating, elegant weddings, and cooking and gardening, with an emphasis on rustic (Taurus), do-it-yourself ingenuity. Once a stockbroker (Mercury in 10th?), Martha turned her catering business into an empire that included books, a magazine and a syndicated television show. Her upscale style and tremendous commercial success made her a household name. The Moon in Sagittarius dispositing Martha's Cancer stellium makes it necessary to discuss Sagittarius, and I'll try to post those notes soon. Again, we see another kind of Jupiter influence from the Moon's position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I have an acquaintance who was born one day after Martha Stewart. She is nowhere near as successful, not having the same lineup of planets to angles ( I have to go back and look at MS's chart), but has a strong interest (some might say obsession) with having a beautiful home. Articles are placed strategically to enhance the effect...for example, antique books highly visable in the living room for a somewhat scholarly appearance. She constantly buys things on line... either clothes or items for her home. The main living area is very attractive...like a picture from Sunset Magazine. The odd thing is that she rarely entertains. She's what I call an " extroverted loner " . I attribute that to Sun in Cancer (extroverted) conjunct Pluto (most SU cnj PL folks I've known could be called loners). The beauty of her home is more for her own satisfaction. She also loves kitchen gadgets and other paraphenalia having to do with the domestic arts. From what I've read about MS, there are also personality similarities. ....Bettina _____ On Behalf Of Therese Hamilton Sunday, January 11, 2009 9:12 PM Cancer: Martha Stewart Martha Stewart (Aug 3 1941, 13:33 Jersey City, NJ) is a well-known but less popular native of Cancer than Michael Flatley.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Thank you, Bettina. Very helpful comments. This is how we can begin to understand traits of zodiac signs. I think sidereal Cancer may also be a collector of objects, houses, whatever. Martha Stewart has whole closets full of one kind of home decorating supply (saw this on T.V.), such as tablecloths and place mats. Michael Flatley seems to collect homes on various continents, and all these houses must be filled with furnishings and kitchens to prepare food. And most likely servants to maintain the property. I'm working on another biography of a German entrepreneur who seized as much property for himself as he could from Germany's conquered countries. Could sideral Cancer be called aquisitive?

Michael Flatley has the same position, but the Sun is with the Moon. Martha's values have been called 'upscale.' I think that might be a Leo trait. Her ascendant lord Venus is in Leo in the 11th house sextile the ascendant (sidereal). This is another pointer to her emphasis on the home rather than say, performing. Venus = home; Moon = performing? The Gauquelins didn't find that Venus correlated with any professions they studied. Cayce linked Venus to the home.
