Nurses

People who can take care of people, that's certainly not me.

Inspired by that thought I decided to check out the charts of some famous Nurses. Here's a short list with some really quick observations. It looks like Earth and Fire Signs are dominant. I was expecting to see a lot of Virgo and that's definitely there. I sort of looked at Ceres' position but gave up.

Sun, Mars and Jupiter, planets of Health & Vitality, seem to also have a strong influence. I got confused and added Mother Teresa and then remembered that she was really a Nun. She's here anyway. Maybe I should also add Audrey Hepburn and Sally Field.

The Midheavens seem strongly aspected which accounts for their fame I guess. Women have traditionally only been able to have a handful types of jobs so it's interesting to see what kinds of Midheavens the ones with careers have had and Nursing is a pretty anonymous profession overall. Those of us who approach caretaking like we're straight out of Stephen King can't understand these people at all.

Sun 30 Scorpio; Moon in Taurus; NN 24 Virgo


Moon in Earth, so is North Node. Only one here who's not an Earth Sun. She died in the battlefield while having surgery herself. Supposedly it was the anesthesia, which makes sense because:
Sun in Scorpio opposite Neptune 25 Taurus-Pluto 3 Gemini
Jupiter 1 Libra conjunct Uranus 7 Libra
Mars 7 Virgo square Sun and also square Pluto

All Chart times and dates, except for Helen Fairchild, are from Astrotheme. Nurses have good access to their own birth charts.

Very interesting on nurses! I went to nursing school for about a year before deciding it was not a good profession for me. Bet it has to do with my Moon/Neptune in Libra and lots of Scorpio being waaaay to sensitive to other's pain and misery. It was my Virgo MC that drew me there in the first place . . . that and my mom pushing from behind. ::grin:: My grades were very good and all that but the only rotation that I really liked was surgery (minimal patient interaction).

Are you doing a post on that fool, Spitzer?! dumb move on his part, unbelievably dumb! :-D

Hi Neith! Thanks for your comment.

Guess it makes sense that with your Scorpio planets you'd prefer the Surgery. I would have expected Moon-Neptune to be a great combination for a nurse before I did this project. From what I remember Neptune was prominent when in aspect with another outer planet. If it aspects an inner planet you've got to be an artist or something.

This was an interesting project although I suppose only looking at a few charts doesn't really speak for the mass majority.

Need to learn more about Spitzer. I'm sort of surprised when these guys don't do the hanky panky. His wife is so pretty too. That's what shocked me most.
