East Coast astrologer Robert Marks quotes her from the time he
was on her show in 1988, reported to LMR on 10/02/2000. Formerly,
Frank C. Clifford reported, 3/1995, "She held a show late last
year a few months before her 41st birthday in which she featured a
'life-clock' that shows how many hours, minutes and seconds a person
has left until they reach age 80. At 12:38 PM exactly on that day,
she had 344,479 hours and 12 minutes before reaching 80. This would
compute to a birth time of 7:50 PM." (Several mathematicians
separately came up with the same time, which is, nonetheless, an
arbitrary example of the life-clock and may or may not have come
from her actual time of birth.(A quote from her is a preferable
source.) (www.chartshop.com
gives 6:29 PM, no source,3/2000.)

Biography
American talk show hostess, actress and business executive. Born
illegitimate and virtually abandoned in the Deep South, she is a living
symbol of the self-made person in spite of all odds. She is one of the
best known and highest paid entertainers of the '90s with her TV talk show
and business ventures.
Raised at first by her grandmother on a farm, she was then shuffled
between her mom and various kin. She was raped at nine and had five
subsequent years of sexual abuse, leading to adolescent rebellion and
lifelong insecurity. She gave birth to a baby boy when she was just 14.
The baby died after two weeks from complications of being born two months
premature.
Ambitious and precocious, she won two beauty titles while in University
and by 19 became a CBS news journalist. She left college to become the
first female and the first black newscaster in Nashville, earning $15,000
a year. Articulate, highly intelligent, she moved into her own show in
Baltimore, "People Are Talking," negotiated April 1977. Working
her way into a position as one of the most popular hosts in American TV,
she made a national debut of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" 9/08/1986.
By 1999, her fortune was estimated at $415 million, making her one of
America's richest women. She and partner Stedman Graham taught a ten-week
class at the Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern,
Evanston IL, in the fall of '99. Student selection for the class was only
110 and Oprah found herself nervous while teaching the "Dynamics of
Leadership." She claimed that she was not used to the
"one-on-one of an audience paying to hear you say something
meaningful." In April 2000, she announced the upcoming release of her
new magazine, "O," which is in partnership with Hearst Corp. and
will have edits from her show, as well as inspiring quotations.
Left handed, she fought a long battle with weight to become trim and
stylish with daily physical activity and careful diet.
Winfrey made a screen debut in Spielberg's "The Color
Purple," 1958, for which she won award nominations.
Her relationships with men tended to be unstable before she met 6'
6" PR executive Stedman Graham. They began dating in May 1986. Happy
together, they became engaged in mid-October 1992. By 1998, a marriage
seemed unlikely, or perhaps unnecessary. Oprah's secretary gets an
itinerary from Stedman's secretary so they can keep track of where each
other will be. Despite their grueling schedules, the two are able to spend
some time together at any one of her homes – a 25-room condo in Chicago,
an 85-acre ranch in Telluride CO, an island retreat near Miami, or her
160-acre Indiana ranch.

What Do You Think?
- Any discussion of Oprah must include a mention of her battle with
the bulge. In 1994, she carried a wheel barrel filled with 90 pounds
of beef on stage to show how much she lost. Where is the battle of the
bulge in her chart? (A plug for my friend Lee Lehman – she claims to
have a successful electional technique for starting diets. www.leelehman.com/pages/Election.html)
- As expected her Mercury is highly aspected, but her moon is
unaspected. How did she get so popular for talking? (She claims she
began her public speaking career at church when she gave an Easter
speech at three and a half).
- "Most all the mistakes I've made in my life, I've made because
I was trying to please other people." Oprah claims that learning
to say "No" has been the most important lesson in her life.
Can we read co-dependency in a chart?
- She is fond of saying that truth telling is the key to success.
"I think the most important thing to get ahead falls back to what
I truly believe in, and that is the ability to seek truth in your
life. That's in all forms. You have to be honest with yourself."
Can you find her commitment to truth telling?
- Although she runs a multi-million dollar empire, she still signs all
the checks (according to a 1991 interview). How come?
