Marilyn Monroe
Biographical information from Astrodatabank stated:

American actress, outstandingly famous as a sex symbol and subject of a lush nude calendar, photographed on 5/27/1949.

Marilyn was born in the charity ward of the Los Angeles General Hospital. Both her mom and her grandmom suffered from mental illness, probably manic depression. She maintained that one of her earliest memories was that of her mom trying to smother her with a pillow. Her mom paid a couple $25 a week to take care of her and she lived with these foster parents until she was seven. After her mom was hospitalized with a breakdown, Norma Jeane was placed in an orphanage and a series of foster homes, where she was sexually assaulted several times. She later said she had been raped when she was 11.

She left school with a youthful and short marriage at the age of 15 to merchant marine James Dougherty. Only 5' 1", she matured early into a shapely 110 lbs. Deeply insecure about her abilities, she was chronically late. When astrologer Richard Ideman remarked that New York was a lonely town, she said, "Any town is lonely when you don't know who you are." She had, nonetheless, a sly wit; once asked by a reporter what she wore to bed, she replied "Chanel No.5." Her drug and alcohol dependency was long-standing and well known among her intimates.

Marilyn made a second marriage to baseball player Joe DiMaggio, then to writer Arthur Miller (a NY Times article gave June 29, 1956, 7:21 PM in White Plains, NY). She was romantically involved at one time or another to Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra, Yves Montand and director Elia Kazan.

Hundreds of biographies have been written about her by everyone from her lovers to her plumber. One lesbian relationship was related in a biography by her maid. [Italics mine.]

Historians find no documented evidence that Marilyn had an affair with Robert Kennedy, though there is credible evidence that she was intimate with John Kennedy, starting sometime in the 1950s. By the '60s, the relationships was so obvious that aides warned him to be more discreet. During the Thousand Days of his administration they continued to meet, though not at the White House, and she told her friends about the trysts.

She met Robert Kennedy in February 1962 and many reports state that he soon shared her favors. By early summer she was telling friends that he would marry her. They were together at the home of Peter Lawford in late June and then, suddenly, both brothers cut her off and she was told to not contact either of them again. She began trying, without success, to reach Bobby by phone. She slumped into a deep depression, survived a drug overdose and told friends she had had an abortion. A close friend later recalled that "she looked like death."

The gossip continued for years that she was intimate with both Kennedy men and that they were involved in her death. She possessed handwritten notes from Bobby and had kept a diary. She was privy to numerous secrets about the Kennedys and their underworld connections. Moreover, she was unstable and might talk at any time. A world-famed celebrity, the actress had the power to do incalculable damage to the Kennedy image.

Monroe died of a drug overdose on 8/05/1962, Hollywood, CA. The prior night she had called Lawford about 10:00 PM, expressing fear that she had taken too many sleeping pills. She died sometime that night and about 3:00 AM, her housekeeper called her psychiatrist. She was found in her bed, nude, with a telephone in her hand. At 4:25 AM the housekeeper called the police. Her diary and personal notes were never found.

Marilyn Monroe (AA)
Partial Harmonic Chart for the 7th House

Placidian House Cusps: c11—23Sag, c12—20Cap, c2—8Ari, c3—7Tau b11—17Tau, b12—20Gem, b2—12Leo, b3—10Vir

Set (62) contains Asc/moon/mercury/venus/neptune. C7 mercury rules c 5th and 7th houses. C moon co-rules (20 of 27°) c 5th house. This set contains the full minimum significator for lesbianism. It lacks 12th influence.

She has a bisexual significator. B7 mercury, at 27 Leo 50, is conjunct C Desc at 27 Leo 05.

Marilyn was born in 1926. She was passing through her teens just before and during WWII. The time and way she grew up—all those foster homes—would have inclined her to want “fit in” at all costs.

Being a movie star with such extraordinary emphasis on her sexual allure not only brought her money, it proved she belonged, and especially, was wanted.

But, Marilyn was no wilting lily. Note the conjunction of her c sun to SN/mercury/pluto in Leo (unnumbered, in above drawing) with c mercury ruling c 4th and 5th houses. Or, does that very powerful and self-absorbed (SN/pluto/sun conjunction in Leo) set apply not to her, but to the men (sun) she had affairs with (5th) in the latter part of her life (4th), especially John Kennedy?

I looked at her 3rd chart. It is not the chart of an individual who is mentally ill—neither schizoid (neptunian) nor bipolar (saturn/uranus). It shows some one who is quite bright.

Her 1st chart of early childhood, however, is rather neptunian, which makes her problems with alcohol and drugs astrologically understandable. The set, which includes two moons and all four neptunes influences B Asc and 5th, and 7th houses, showing her exceptionally vulnerable to being a sexual (5th) victim (neptune here—too much of it, making clarity about self painfully difficult) to important others (7th). This set also includes b harmonic saturn (ruler of b 7th house), which shows someone who feels unloved, deflated, and defeated.

In addition, her b mars, ruler of B MC and b 5th house, is at 27 Aquarius 02, conjunct her C Asc, also declaring sexual (5th) things occurring during childhood (forefront influence, 1st chart, 1st house), all the more so because the set influences two Angles.

Her 1st chart shows another rather difficult affliction. If we take the b moon, ruler of B Asc, at 25 Capricorn 23, from the lower end of her 2moon/4neptune set and see what other sets if forms, it forms a set with b1 mars, ruler of B MC and b 5th house, at 21 Libra 51 and b1 saturn, ruler of b 7th house, at 23 Libra 11. The Libra conjunction falls in b 4th house. Both malefics in Libra suggest problems with close relationships that that will recur again toward the end of her life (4th).

Marilyn was one of those people whose 1st chart, that is, childhood, was so afflicted it created a sense of deficiency and, for her, victimization, that she never got free from. I believe we all have an inborn urge to wholeness. In her, that would have meant returning again and again to this form of consciousness in an effort to repair the damage. Without exceptional help or exceptional strenth (which hardly goes with dependency on drugs), she would have gotten “repeat,” not “repair.” This chart was probably strongly in play at the time of her death.

Monroe had a golden benefic in her 10th chart which shows her career success. Here it is:

Set (63)C10 NN8 Virgo 24
c venus8 Virgo 52
b10 moon4 Pisces 42ruler of B Asc
b10 jupiter7 Gemini 32co-ruler (20 of 30°) of b 5th house

Set (63) even suggests that Marilyn’s success for fore-ordained (nodal involvement). She had B MC at 12 Aries 18 conjunct b10 neptune at 12 Aries 16. That plus her golden benefic gave her forefront 10th chart influence which “summed” to node/moon/venus/jupiter/neptune—no wonder she was an cinema icon. Too bad she could not have put some of that benevolence into her experience of herself through her 1st chart.




Martina Navratilova
Above picture from http://www.unrealitytv.co.uk

Martina Navratilova
Biographical information from Astrodatabank stated:

Czechoslovakian-American tennis champion, outstanding with 167 titles, including nine Wimbledon singles. In the summer of 1972 she won the Czech National Championship. She made her first visit to the U.S. in 3/22/1973. Two years later she was ready to defect from her homeland, on 9/05/1975. Her first Wimbledon win was July 1978, the year she became the World No. 1 player.

Navratilova became a U.S. citizen 7/20/1981. Early in 1982, she suffered from toxoplasmosis. Born into a tennis-oriented family, she had the models of her grandmother, step-dad and mom as champions or administrators in the game. Spending her childhood in the Krkonose Mountains, she learned to ski as soon as she could walk. When she was five, the family moved to Prague, where she watched her folks play tournaments. She became obsessed with batting a ball against the wall for practice. At eight, she signed to play her first tournament. Off the court, she swam, skied, and played soccer and ice hockey, but nothing interfered with her love of tennis.

At 14, she captured her first title, and in 1973, she began her first tour on the circuit. Visiting the U.S., she fell in love with junk food and gained 20 lbs: 5' 8" and over 150 lbs, she failed to win any of the matches. By the following year, she was winning most of them.

In 1977, she was sharing a house in Dallas, TX with Sandra Haynie, the pro golfer. From 1979-1981, writer Rita Mae Brown was her companion until Navratilova began an affair with basketball star Nancy Lieberman. In March 1984, she began a relationship with Judy Nelson, signing a non-marital cohabitation contract 2/12/1986. Navratilova left Nelson for Olympic skier Cindy Nelson, separating 2/03/1991. They entered a bitter court battle September 1991 until Nelson settled her multimillion-dollar patrimony lawsuit out of court.

In 1998 she put her 100-acre ranch in Aspen, CO up for sale, a spread that includes stables and a half-mile of private river, for an asking price of $7.9 million. On 7/02/1998, she stunned top-seeded Martina Hingis in straight sets to reach the Wimbledon final.

Martina Navratilova (A)
Partial Harmonic Chart for the 1st House

Placidian House Cusps: c11—3Pis, c12—19Ari, c2—22Gem, c3—10Can b11—1Cap, b12—29Cap, b2—1Tau, b3—24Tau

Set (64) is comprised of Node/sun/venus/uranus/neptune, with the lights occurring on either end of the set instead of in the usual middle. The orb of the node extends down to 3 Capricorn 50. The orb of the sun extends up to 6 Libra 06, and down to an out-of-sign position.

B1 venus co-rules (30 of 40°) b 7th house. C1 venus co-rules (19 of 46°) c 5th house. B neptune rules B Asc and co-rules (20 of 51°) b 12th house. C uranus rules C MC.

Navratilova has a second Asc/venus/mars/neptune set in this chart, but it influences only an Angle and 7th house, and not the 5th, so it falls short of significator standing.

She has a second part significator for lesbianism in her 5th chart. C5 venus, co-ruler (19 of 46°), at 6 Gemini 13 is made Angular by C Asc at 4 Gemini 58.

Her C MC at 1 Aquarius 24 is in the same set with c mars at 0 Scorpio 58, showing the strong Angle/mars influence I would expect from some one with such extraordinary physical control and stamina.




Barbara Jordan
Above picture from http://www.astro.com/astro-databank

Barbara Jordan
Biographical information from Astrodatabank stated:

American attorney, politician and educator featured on Time magazine cover as one of 12 Women of the Year 1/05/1976. One of only two blacks and six women to enroll in Texas So. University Law School, she graduated 84th in her class of 250. After practicing law in Houston, 1960-67, she found her true calling of politics during the 1960 Kennedy-Johnson campaign. She entered Democratic politics in the Texas Senate, 1967-72, becoming the first black woman to be elected to that body and entered the U.S. House of Representatives, 1973-79. Her life was a series of firsts: in 1972 she was also the first black woman elected to Congress from the South.

Born the third and youngest daughter of a laborer and union steward and her mom, Arlyne, a domestic, she remembers learning from her dad discipline, a sense of purpose and a demand for excellence. From her grandfather, John Patten, she got a sense of humor and the gift of acceptance of who she was. Originally "a poor kid from Harlem," Jordan was the first woman and first black to keynote a Democratic National Convention. A compelling orator, she electrified the convention with her 11 minute speech, 7/25/1974, explaining why Richard Nixon's transgressions during and after the Watergate break-in were really crimes against the Constitution. It also spotlighted a remarkable woman who spent her life breaking down racial barriers to get what she wanted to help blacks, women, the poor and sometimes the very rich. Brilliant and articulate, assertive and ambitious, Jordan was noted for speaking in a deep resonant commanding voice with precise diction and eloquence. She became famous as a member of the House Judiciary Committee's TV hearings on impeaching President Nixon. Her name was considered as a future prospect for U.S. Attorney General, the Supreme Court, even the Vice Presidency.

After deciding not to seek a fourth term in Congress in 1978, Jordan left politics, explaining that she was moving in a different direction. She segued into teaching, finding it extraordinarily satisfying. Many felt that her decision was due to her suffering from a debilitating illness, which she would not name. She became a professor at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas in Austin. Personally aloof and markedly reclusive, she used a wheelchair and walker to navigate, compensating for her knee and leg problem. . She felt that her former life, in politics, was unbalanced when she was impelled by a driving force to get ahead and she limited her teaching classes to 15, limiting her work to include recreational time. In 1966, she said, "I am me. I trust myself, resist being controlled by anything external."

Jordan died on 1/17/1996 Austin, TX of pneumonia and leukemia. She had been ill for several years with Multiple Sclerosis. In 1988 she had nearly drowned when she lost consciousness in her backyard swimming pool.

Since her Astrodatabank biography did not mention anything about her sexuality, the following material from Wikipedia (7/7/10) minus the footnotes, is necessary :

In 1973, Jordan began to suffer from multpe sclerosis. She had difficulty climbing stairs, and she started using a cane and eventually a wheelchair. She kept the state of her health out of the press so well that in the KUT radio documentary Rediscovering Barbara Jordan, president Bill Clinton stated that he wanted to nominate Jordan for the United States Supreme Court, but by the time he could do so, Jordan's health problems prevented him from nominating her.

Jordan's companion of close to 30 years was Nancy Earl. Jordan met Earl, an educational psychologist who would become an occasional speech writer in addition to Jordan's partner, on a camping trip in the late 1960s. Jordan never publicly acknowledged her sexual orientation, but in her obituary, the Houston Chronicle mentioned her long relationship with Earl, interpreted to confirm her being a lesbian. However, Jordan biographer Mary Beth Rogers, author of "Barbara Jordan: American Hero," found no conclusive evidence to suggest that the former congresswoman was a lesbian. After Jordan's initial unsuccessful statewide races, advisers warned her to become more discreet and not bring any female companions on the campaign trail.

Partial Harmonic Chart for the 12th House

Placidian House Cusps: c11—29Tau, c12—30Gem, c2—24Leo, c3—23Vir b11—14Ari, b12—19Tau, b2—14Can, b3—9Leo

Set (65) contains sun/moon/venus/neptune, comprising the first part of the lesbian significator. B12 venus rules b 5th and 12th houses. C12 moon rules C Asc and co-rules c 12th house. B neptune rules b MC.

Set (65) lacks 7th influence.

She has b12 mars at 23 Sagittarius 11 conjunct B Desc at 21 Sagittarius 20, a second set significator which turns her sexuality heterosexual. But her 5th chart contains c5 venus at 27 Capricorn 53 conjunct C Desc at 28 Capricorn 57, a second part lesbian significator, suggesting the choice was hers.

Jordan has a golden benefic in this chart, which also contains her lesbian significators, suggesting the positive, long-term relationship she had.:

Set (66)C MC25 Aries 37
c sun28 Aries 12
c jupiter24 Libra 07co-ruler (30 pf 31°) of c 5th house
b moon25 Capricorn 21

The conjunction of the lesser and greater benefics, venus and jupiter, respectively, in Libra, the natural sign of the 7th house, suggests great good fortune in close relationships. So this set influences both 5th and “7th houses,” and is in the 12th chart.




Billie Jean King

Billie Jean King
Biographical information from Astrodatabank stated:

American tennis champion and entrepreneur. One of the greatest women tennis players in the twentieth century, King put women's tennis on the map in 1966 and has watched it expand ever since. With a stellar career including 20 Wimbledon titles from 1966 - 1979, the Australian Open in 1968, the French Open in 1972, winner of 29 Virginia Slims singles titles, five U.S. Open titles and five time winner of the Wightman Cup, by the age of 33 she had 19 career titles. King set the international standard for professionalism in women tennis as leader of the Women's Professional Tennis Tour, initiated in October 1970. As Founder of the World Team Tennis League in 1984, she became the first female commissioner in the history of professional sports.

The daughter of a fireman and a homemaker, King and her younger brother Randy grew up in Long Beach, where King was a shortstop of some repute on a local softball team. Growing older, she realized that her potential in the sport was limited and as she wanted "to be in a sport where you could be considered a lady, her parents suggested tennis, a game unknown to her. King began playing tennis at 11. By 18 she won the women's doubles at Wimbledon, then at age 24 she swept the US and British singles, doubles and mixed doubles and turned pro. Moving like a force of nature through the tennis courts of the world, she personified true grit coupled with high standards of professionalism, candor and leadership. By 1971, she was the first woman to win $100,000 in a year. In 1987, she was entered in the Hall of Fame.

An operation on her left knee in January 1976 handicapped King's game. Competing the following year and still in pain, the legend lost her Wimbledon title to Chris Evert.

After retiring from pro tennis in 1983 and having four knee operations, King still keeps tennis the center of her life. A part-time coach for Martine Navratilova, and HBO commentator, she was the co- founder and publisher of "Women's Sports and Fitness" in 1974. As C.E.O. of World Team Tennis, she boasts "it's my dream. It's part professional in the summer with players like Bjorn and Martina and Tracy Austin and Jimmy Connors. And then there's the recreational side in 1,600 cities in the U.S., colleges and military bases and all these people playing. We even have a 90-and-over championship this year.....I'd still be out there if I had the wheels. . .This generation gets better, stronger, taller and faster. And the equipment. That big racket is so much better, so much easier to hit with. Even the shoes are better. The game is better."

In her private life, Billie Jean admitted to having had an abortion. She married Larry King on 9/17/1965 [age 21] and with her husband, promoted a variety of enterprises since 1977. Their marriage ended in divorce in 1985.

Wikipedia (7/27/2010) contains information about her lesbianism:

By 1968, King realized that she was interested in women [she was then 25 years old], and in 1971, King began an intimate relationship with her secretary, Marilyn Barnett. King acknowledged the relationship when it became public in a May 1981 “palimony” lawsuit filed by Barnett, making King the first prominent professional female athlete to come out as a lesbian. King said that she had wanted to retire from competitive tennis in 1981 but could not afford to because of the lawsuit. "Within 24 hours [of the lawsuit being filed], I lost all my endorsements; I lost everything. I lost $2 million [$4,784,141 in current dollar terms] at least, because I had longtime contracts. I had to play just to pay for the lawyers. In three months I went through $500,000 [$1,196,035 in current dollar terms]. I was in shock. I didn't make $2 million in my lifetime, so it's all relative to what you make." King said in 1998 that Martina Navratilova was not supportive when King was outed, resulting in their relationship having a "very bad five years." Speaking about the lawsuit in 2007, 26 years after it was filed, King said:

It was very hard on me because I was outed and I think you have to do it in your own time. Fifty per cent of gay people know who they are by the age of 13. I was in the other 50%. I would never have married Larry if I’d known. I would never have done that to him. I was totally in love with Larry when I was 21.”
Concerning the personal cost of concealing her sexuality for so many years, King said:

I wanted to tell the truth but my parents were homophobic and I was in the closet. As well as that, I had people tell me that if I talked about what I was going through, it would be the end of the women's tour. I couldn't get a closet deep enough. I've got a homophobic family, a tour that will die if I come out, the world is homophobic and, yeah, I was homophobic. If you speak with gays, bisexuals, lesbians and transgenders, you will find a lot of homophobia because of the way we all grew up. One of my big goals was always to be honest with my parents and I couldn't be for a long time. I tried to bring up the subject but felt I couldn't. My mother would say, "We’re not talking about things like that", and I was pretty easily stopped because I was reluctant anyway. I ended up with an eating disorder that came from trying to numb myself from my feelings. I needed to surrender far sooner than I did. At the age of 51, I was finally able to talk about it properly with my parents and no longer did I have to measure my words with them. That was a turning point for me as it meant I didn't have regrets any more.”

On August 12, 2009, she was awarded the Presidential Medial of Freedom by President Barack Obama for her work advocating for the rights of women and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered community. "This is a chance for me — and for the United States of America — to say thank you to some of the finest citizens of this country and of all countries", President Obama said.

Partial Harmonic Chart for the 7th House

Placidian House Cusps: c11—17Can, c12—17Leo, c2—12Lib, c3—12Sco b11—16Sco, b12—9Sag, b2—15Aqu, b3—23Pis

Set (67) contains MC/sun/venus/neptune, comprising the first part set for lesbianism. The set is already Angular. B7 venus rules B MC and b 5th house. C sun rules c 12th house.

Set (67) does not have 7th influence.

King's second part set for lesbianism comes from the following: B7 venus, ruler of b 5th house (and B MC), at 22 Libra 11, is made Angular by B MC at 22 Libra 28.

She has a heterosexual set. C mars, co-ruler (12 of 28°) of c 7th house, at 15 Sagittarius 52 is made Angular by C MC at 14 Gemini 35.

Set (68) influences an Angle, 5th, and 7th houses. Comprised of node/2sun/moon/2venus/mars/jupiter, it contains a golden benefic (light/venus/jupiter) with Angular influence because b venus rules B MC and b 5th house. It is very powerful because it contains four lights. B7 sun co-rules (15 of 42°) b 7th house. C7 mars co-rules (12 of 28°) c 7th house. This set influences her career success, which can show either in the 7th or 10th chart. It is also a very positive symbol of successful, intimate relationships.

King has some psychic abilities. Her b neptune, ruler of b 3rd house, is conjunct (that is, lighted by) b moon at 6 Virgo 37. Add to that her c moon in Pisces, and one has classic sets for psychic abilities. (See paper on psychics, link on Home Page.)




Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo
Biographical information from Astrodatabank stated:

Mexican artist about whom everything was high drama. In pain all of her life, the 5' 3", 98 lb. woman battled drugs and despair, had a tumultuous marriage to her muralist husband and conducted affairs with women and men, including a passionate liaison with Leon Trotsky. Filled with a radiant and explosive fury, her paintings showed a symbolic realism and spoke to contemporary and feminist issues: the pain of love and feminine identity. She was called by Andre Breton, "a ribbon around a bomb." Her work was widely exhibited in Mexico, New York and Paris.

Kahlo was the seventh of eight daughters born to a successful German photographer, the son of Jewish Hungarians, who had emigrated to Mexico and a Mexican-Indian mother. It was her dad who introduced her to art, photography and archeology. The girl both loved and scorned her uneducated and very religious mother. There were two older half-sisters from her father's first marriage, four more older sisters, then Freda and a younger sister. As a kid, she was a tomboy and a prankster.

At the age of six, she suffered an attack of polio. Left with one leg shorter and thinner, she did a lot of sports to rebuild her strength. At 14, she entered one of Mexico's best schools. In her early teens, she was preparing for a career in medicine, until she suffered a serious auto accident at 16 in Mexico City, 9/17/1925. An electric trolley car crashed into the wooden bus in which she was riding. Freda was pierced by the trolley's metal handrail which entered her lower body on the left side and exited through her vagina. Her spinal column and pelvis were each broken in three places; her collarbone and two ribs broken as well. Her right leg, the one deformed by polio, was shattered, fractured in 11 places and her right foot was dislocated and crushed.

She spent a month in the hospital and two more recuperating at home. A lifelong series of operations followed, and her first prolonged hospitalization led to her learning to paint. After the accident, her life was spent in pain and dying, with at least 32 surgeries. In spite of this, or perhaps because of it, her intensity and appetite for life was voracious.

When Freda was 13, she had her first sexual experience with her gym teacher. Two years later she met Diego de Rivera when he painted a mural at her school, and she developed an immediate crush on him. They re-met in 1927, and began their affair. Though her mother objected to his age, 20 years older than she, and his immense weight, some 300 lbs, calling him a "fat and ungodly communist," they married in a civil ceremony on 8/21/1929.

It was a lifetime marriage despite periods of melancholy illness, separations, divorce and remarriage. He was always a philanderer and their life together was stormy. They were proud of each other, hated each other and were tender and protective of each other. He never objected to her lesbian relationships but was fiercely jealous of the men in her life, so she concealed those many affairs from him.

Her work was highly successful and continued so after her death. By 1994 there were some 87 publication about her, and her 1942 "Self-Portrait with Monkey and Parrot" sold at Sotheby's for $3.2 million, the highest price ever paid for a Latin-American work of art and the second-highest amount for a woman artist (after Mary Cassatt). In Mexico, Kahlo is known as "la heroina del dolor," (the heroine of pain).

After Frida and Diego finally divorced in 1940, Frida's poor health worsened. Her infirmity was exacerbated by her bottle-a-day brandy habit, chain smoking and steady diet of sweets. She not only had racking pain in her spine but infected kidneys, an atrophic ulcer on her right foot, from where gangrenous toes had been amputated in 1934, and recurrent fungus infections on her right hand. Reconciling with de Rivera, they remarried on his 54th birthday, 12/08/1940, in San Francisco. A woman whose motto was, "Make love, take a bath, make love again," she wrote, "Diego in my urine - Diego in my mouth - in my heart, in my madness, in my sleep."

Following the amputation of her leg in 1953, Frida became deeply depressed, losing her will to live. Several times, she tried to kill herself, by hanging or overdose. All signs point to her death as a suicide by overdose on 7/13/1954 in Mexico City. The last words in her diary are a list of people she thanked, and the lines "I hope the leaving is joyful - and I hope never to return."

Partial Harmonic Chart for the 7th House

Placidian House Cusps: c11—1Gem, c12—0Can, c2—27Leo, c3—28Vir b11—1Gem, b12—1Can, b2—28Leo, b3—28Vir

Set (69) contains 2MC/2Asc/node/2sun/venus/mars/neptune. All the lights—both suns and the node with orbs of 5°, and all four Angles with orbs of 2°--are at the top of the set, while neptune is at the bottom. That makes this a weak set in spite of the number of lights involved. Their total strength and range of orb can only be learned empirically, through many more examples of this type of condition.

Set (69) is not her potential set for lesbianism. It contains no influence to a 5th house, a mandatory influence as part of the definition of the significator.

Instead, Set (69) is the set that shows her recognition as an artist. The full significator set for a painter (I have not looked at that many other types of artists) is Angle/light/venus/neptune/3rd. The 3rd influence shows her interest, venus makes it art and aesthetics, and neptune adds fascination with the beauty of color. . Its Angle influence shows her recognition.

Since her art was was recognized, we can conclude that all the lights at the upper end of the set were enough to bring neptune, at the lower end, into the set.

Set (70) is the set that contains the first part of the significator for lesbianism.

Set (70) includes sun/moon/venus/mars/jupiter/2neptune. This set tends to divide into two sets, one including sun/mars/2neptune, and the other including moon/venus/jupiter/mars. The overlapping influence of the two lights brings them all into one set, but loosely so. In it, c jupiter rules c 5th house. B sun rules B Asc. B7 moon rules b 12th house.

Set (70) contains the second part of the significator that turns her apparent lesbianism back toward heterosexuality. B mars at 29 Capricorn 22 is conjunct C Desc at 29 Capricorn 43 and B Desc at 0 Aquarius 05. But also both harmonic suns, ruler and co-rulers of both 7th houses, is made Angular by both Ascs and both Midheavens. I did not find anything in any of her charts which suggested a second part significator for lesbianism or for bisexuality.
