The fact of outstanding interest about this combination is that it has produced more eminent Americans than any other solar-lunar combinations. It has an affinity with the horoscope of the United States and carries these people very far in public life – in politics preferably, but in any activity that deals with the general American public. They are automatically able to catch the imagination of those around them for they combine a warm humanism and logical adherence to the facts – a combination peculiarly calculated to win the support from people. Thus, whether president - LINCOLN; inventor – EDISON; actor-JOHN BARRYMORE and Katherine Cornell; critic – George Nathan; poet – William Ellery Leonard and William Rose Benet; or novelist – Dorothy Canfield Fisher -- in one way or another their work bears the mark of distinction and their achievements carries home to the public.
This person is a one hundred percent American, a supporter of the status quo, an upholder of law and order, a rugged individualist. ( MY COMMENT -- those of us who knew Betty Friedan well, knew that she was never a revolutionary ,no matter if she did dip into radical politics at one brief time ( because of a boyfriend?). So those stories about her leftist past don’t hold water. She was briefly involved, but she left it for good!)
The qualities that marked her for success are imagination, foresight, fearlessness, self-confidence and fundamental honesty of purpose, which she never lost sight of. Her ambition was important to her, but her honor, more so, and if she had to sacrifice one or the other, it would have been ambition. It was this very integrity that endeared her to those around her so that while warmer hearted more expressive people are well enough , she , with her austerity and her pride , her strict sense of right and wrong, nonetheless could win their affection and love. No one begrudges her success, as it is felt to be deserved because she created it for herself and did not compromise with truth or her convictions in any way.
She can succeed in public life . There is nothing radical about her…She was a humanitarian –though she didn’t believe in people , even though she loved them…… But in any world she was an admirable, admired and respected person, capable of assuming authority and wearing it well, of envisoning and putting through large enterprises . and remaining untouched and unspoiled even at the heighth of success and acclaim.

MY COMMENTS.. Of course one has to take the entire chart into consideration… but the general gist of this describes Betty Friedan. She was born with a great sun/moon combination as she was supposed to do what she did, and she had the talents with which to do it. Jacqui Ceballos
