Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s birth chart shows she’s a champion for justice
AOC was born on October 13, 1989. This makes her an intellectual Libra Sun with a fiery Aries Moon. When it comes to elemental energy for her, she has a strong dose of Fire and Air—which brings her tremendous levels of passion and a high capacity for communication and social interaction. Her birth time has been listed online, which means that we can calculate her Rising Sign, which is a Sagittarius Ascendant. This means that the way she presents herself is feisty, outspoken and dramatic—she’ll jump headfirst impulsively toward whatever she believes and unapologetically state whatever is on her mind. This is further emphasized by her Aries Moon—revealing that she is bold, confident and unafraid of conflict. She puts her whole heart into her opinions, ideas and beliefs. Also, Uranus, the planet of rebellion and eccentricity, is within her Ascendant, as is her Saturn, the planet of strength and maturity. Neptune, the planet of visionaries, also stands in her Ascendant, too. With so much power and energy in her identity, no wonder she commands so much respect and is unafraid to champion for herself and others.
Other houses in her chart are also especially revealing. Her Mercury, the planet of communication, is united with her Midheaven—which ties to her career and public recognition. She’s a master speaker and thinker. Mars, which ties to her drive, as well as her Sun, revealing where she shines the brightest, are also in her Midheaven, too, showing that she was meant for power, glory and success. All of these planets are in Libra, which reveals that she is immensely focused on balance, justice, equality and fairness. Libra also holds ties to negotiators, law and politicians—so yes, she was meant for this. Pluto, the planet of transformation and power, is in her sector of communities, group organizations and “the people,” revealing that she was meant to be a major force for change and she has a hypnotizing power on others. She also wishes to work for the social good.
When looking at key astrological alignments, two major themes are further seen. She’s a mover, shaker and doer. She also is drawn to going against the norm and breaking conventions. With her Sun and Mars united, her confidence and combativeness will take her far—she is tirelessly hardworking and revels in victory beyond all else.
