Aquarius of the Month: Franklin Delano Roosevelt
During the America’s darkness days, Franklin Delano Roosevelt reminded the nation that “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” No wonder, he was elected to office four times, making him the longest running President in the history of the United States. FDR guided the nation through the Great Depression and World War and is credited with the New Deal and social security programs. While the Democratic President never mentioned an interest in astrology, his third-term Vice President, Henry Wallace was known to be a “stargazer of many cults,” according to the Washington Post.
The thirty-second President of the United States was born January 30, 1882 at 8:45 p.m. in Hyde Park, NY. Both his parents, businessman James Roosevelt and mother Sara Ann Delano came from wealthy New York families. Franklin was born with his Sun in independent sign of Aquarius and his Moon in the home-loving sign of Cancer. Since the United States is a Cancer country with its Moon in Aquarius, Roosevelt understood well the need for national security while maintaining democratic principles. More important, with is Sun in Aquarius, he was not afraid of change and was willing to seek good counsel.
His Sun close to the planet Venus made for a life of ease. Growing up, FDR had a happy but sheltered childhood, which included with trips to Europe and private tutors. His loving but dominating mother tried in vain to stop her son’s marriage to his cousin Eleanor Roosevelt. However, Franklin was not a man who liked to be alone. He and Eleanor had six children. While the marriage lasted, the couple preferred to live separate lives.
Regardless of his circumstances, FDR managed to maintain a cheerful countenance. Perhaps this is because of the Mercury, planet of communication, was in the sign of Aquarius in good aspect to Mars in Gemini. The combination gave him exception mental ability and powers of persuasion. This served Roosevelt well when he was forced to focus on his health due to a bout with polio at age of 39. However, he courageously continued his political career. With Uranus on his Virgo ascendant, Franklin Roosevelt was a strong force for justice—even in a wheelchair!
