Oprah's big moves: an astrological perspective

She's making a big move to cable in two years. Now, it's a bit difficult to make predictions regarding Oprah because I count at least three birth times out there.

Astrodatabank has it at 4:30 am, giving it an "A" ranking, adding that it comes "from memory."

If that is indeed the correct time, that means Oprah is running the period of a strong Sun, which is her 9th lord, forming a humongous rajayoga with 7th/10th lord Mercury and 11th lord Venus and the ever-hungry Rahu. The combination occurs in her 2nd house, which is one of the strongest I have ever seen. The second lord Saturn is exalted... where else, in the house of windfalls, the 11th. It is hardly surprising that this is a billionaire's chart. It's almost as if Oprah's destiny was primarily to be wealthy; fame was just the vehicle to get there, and a by-product once she did.

But the coming 10 year period, beginning 2011, looks a bit problematic. Oprah's Moon rules the 8th and is fallen in the 12th. On the one hand, this produces a type of vipreet rajayoga, where in theory the lord of a bad house is weakened by its residence in another bad house. Oprah's Moon, in addition, is with a strong Mars in its own sign. And it is also true that Ketu's major period, which ran from 1978-1975 was hardly her worst.

Still, the period of a fallen Moon will have its drawbacks; in any case, it is hard to see how it goes better than the Sun's period, which ought to count as one of the best in her life--in particular this year running from the summer of 2009 to 2010, which is the ultimate fruition of her rajayoga: the subperiod Mercury, her 10th lord, during her 9th lord Sun's major period. One could argue that this dealmaking period is the apogee of her career.

My gut feeling is that Oprah will regret giving up that TV show in favor of moguldom in its purest state.
