Malala Yousafzai: The Astral Map of a Nobel Laureate
Malala Yousafzai: The Astral Map of a Nobel Laureate
Seventeen years old. What a brave soul. What. A. Brave. Soul. Malala Yousafzai, Pakistani activist for female education was born in Minaora, Pakistan on July 12, 1997. Raised by a poet, school owner, and an educational activist stood up to the Taliban in the Swat Valley area of Pakistan and was shot at 3 times; one bullet entering her head traveling through her neck until it came to rest in her shoulder.
She survived.
Not new to the plight of acquiring education for young girls in the backward lands of Pakistan, Malala flirted with disaster and displayed uncanny courage. While girls were banned from attending school, she remained steadfast in her defiance of the repressive Taliban that had a contract out for her head.
What do we see in her birth chart, even without a birth time, that could possibly show a Cancer personality with a Moon in Libra of all places (both so non-confrontational) to find such strength of purpose and idealism?
Archetypal Libra is very socially bent, while Cancer has tremendous tenacity defending and protecting its own. But, this is not enough astrologically to give this young woman the guts to do as she has and to have earned the Nobel Peace Prize. These kinds of efforts “beyond the norm” have to come from universal energies such as: Uranus/Aquarius, Neptune/Pisces and/or Pluto/Scorpio. They just have to. And they are abundantly represented in her chart.
Inner planets, representing the first few signs of the zodiac, just don’t have the oomph, the passion to drive themselves beyond their own sense of safety for the welfare of a larger group. Those realms belong to the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron, Neptune and Pluto.
