Condoleezza Rice

b. November 14 1954

TO8 Day 44
Major 6:Minor 4

    Observations

One could hardly imagine a better profile for the role of NSA chief than Condoleezza Rice's profile of 6:4 in the TO8. She is exceptionally well-placed to enjoy and make good use of the role of spy chief and intelligence planner. She is intellectually ambitious beyond the normal range, yet her complicated depths are likely to undermine her single mindedness in the end. She relishes mysteries and puzzles and probably excels most in dis-information. Little she says will be the whole truth. However, everything she does is geared to the accolades of her peers and the intellectual groups within which she runs. She is likely to fix data in order to show herself in the best light and to show herself faultless in her thinking. A great deal of effort will go into defending her ideas from attack, and at the same time she is not above appropriating the ideas of others and making them her own. Even though she appears a doubter and muller over of things in discussions, she wants her way to win - ideally without disaffecting her clan or her colleagues. She probably likes to replace dissenters quickly with enthusiasts who adore her. The humane option is always on her mind but she can make unpalatable decisions without them affecting her performance.

Condoleezza's Essential Year. Currently, she is in 8:8, a period of intense self-defense. She probably feels under attack from every quarter and is fighting actions on every front to keep her viewpoint winning out. She's likely to be very private and close-mouthed about what she really thinks, but is driven by duty to her job. By the end of November this year she will move into the start of her second cycle where all the current bugbears will seem like small beer, and new projects for which her special talents are suited will emerge from the background. She may want to move jobs at this point, perhaps back to university life.

For Day Forty-fours the Minor resolves to the Major, intensifying their independence and need for success. They want a calm, peaceful environment where mysteries can be contemplated, and where their feelings for humanity arise out of mysterious and poetical side of human nature. They are analytical and inventive with their explanations, and think that all human experience can be understood more easily through a symbolic language that only they control. They observe the unconscious symbolic language we all use in everyday life, and enjoy finding out about what makes people tick. They want to reveal themselves and express what's in their hearts as well as in their minds, but may be hampered by the need to express formally what they think. Although sex can be an expression of independence and adulthood - they may use it to formally step away from their upbringing - they can learn to find in it a mental experience stronger than the physical one. They may feel that they are reaching towards an understanding of the basic mystery of life and reproduction. They are mentally strong and have a quiet will which can see them through difficult times. Although they master their environment, and make their home a single coherent reflection of themselves, they handle authority less well. They have a poetic expectation in their relationships, find their partners in unlikely places and idealise them. Al the same, they are determined to go their own way, and will accept what results as just. They want to be approved of by the society they have left to go their own way. But the search for community status irritates them, and they are likely to find the values of the community in which they move static and meaningless. They dislike others trying to define reality for them, and like the mysteries of their minds and the ideas thrown up by contemplation to define the truths they want to accept. Deduction, while simple for them to perform, is hardly a pleasure. Those of this sign are thinkers and considerers, but may lack a clear vision of their work, and may go round and round in circles, needing a dose of practical reality to jolt them out of their rut. They may find themselves continuing to study esoteric subjects for years, but their studious and possibly theoretical approach to life will bring them success in the end. They want the success of their own creations, and look for security and protection for them.
