Abraham Lincoln was the 16th POTUS, and was born in Hodgenville, Kentucky on February 12 1809. As president, he won the Civil War and successfully preserved the union while abolishing slavery in the process. On April 14, 1865 Lincoln was assassinated at the hands of an actor and confederate sympathizer named John Wilkes Booth. His tragic death cast a dark shadow on the nation as it began it’s path to recovery.
Lincoln shares his birthday with evolution theory founder Charles Darwin and actress Christina Ricci. He is an Aquarius of the 3rd decanate which carries the sub-influence of Libra. Libra tempers the detached, rebellious qualities of Aquarius with a more sanguine and harmony-seeking disposition. Libra’s conciliating energy would have certainly aided Lincoln’s ability to arbitrate disputes both as a lawyer and president.
“No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.” – Abraham Lincoln
Sun in Aquarius + Aquarius Ascendant / Sun and ASC Trine Mars
Aquarius is the sign of invention and revolution and it was both Lincoln’s sun and ascendant sign. A detached and cerebral nature is associated with this sign and when well-aspected may indicate genius. However, the sun is in it’s detriment under this sign and this is probably where the rebellious aspect of Aquarius comes from. Nevertheless, Aquarius rising appear a bit unusual or distinctive in appearance. They may have eccentric behavior and habits or hold ideas and beliefs that others find odd. His sun trine with mars suggests an individual with physical talents who may be athletic or above average in height.
“In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” – Abraham Lincoln
Pluto, Mercury, Jupiter, Sun Stellium, House I / Mercury Trine Uranus
There is a cluster of planets in the first house which governs the self. So much activity in this house suggests an individual with a very strong ego and great mental strength. Such a configuration would seem to indicate a person bound for fame or notoriety, even more so if it were in the 10th house. Mercury trine uranus suggests intellectual talents and thinking that goes against the grain.
“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” – Abraham Lincoln
Moon in Capricorn House XI / Moon Square Mars / Moon Sextile Jupiter
Capricorn moon people are reserved and saturnine in temperment. They are not emotionally expressive but nevertheless feel and love deeply. They are emotionally resilient and prefer to deal with their pain privately. His moon being square with mars suggests that his passion and ambitious desires were often at odds with his subconscious desires. Perhaps an example of this was his conflicting interests in abolishing slavery and preserving the union. Although there is evidence that Lincoln’s reasons for abrogating the bondage of blacks was economic rather than moral, it became clear that Lincoln was unwilling to give up either and would take a hard stance towards the achievement of both his goals. Moon sextile Jupiter helps in seeing the bigger picture when things are looking grim.
“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.” – Abraham Lincoln
Midheaven in Sagittarius / Neptune Conjunct Saturn / Neptune Square Pluto
Midheaven in Sagittarius promises a diverse and illustrious career path. These individuals will often travel far in life and experience many things. Neptune occupying this house imbues wisdom and intuition for guidance. Being conjunct with Saturn ensures that hard lessons will be learned forging an individual who is both sagacious and compassionate. Being square with pluto could be interpreted as dying for one’s beliefs.
“Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.” – Abraham Lincoln
Uranus in Scorpio House VIII / Uranus Trine Pluto
Uranus in Scorpio suggests upheaval or power struggles. Uranus wants to break through traditions and reform. Being trine with pluto indicates that the prospects of this are favorable and achievable and perhaps even needed. For Lincoln, this was certainly true and for that reason became one of the greatest and most admirable presidents ever.
