The rise and dramatic fall of the youngest self-made female billionaire Elizabeth Holmes, the Silicon Valley tale that was too good to be true, is the subject of a new HBO documentary. Academy Award winner Alex Gibney (Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, HBO’s Emmy-winning Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief) dug deep into the entrails of Theranos, her healthcare company which claimed to have revolutionized blood testing. In 2014, it was valued at $9 billion. Just two years later, Theranos was cited as a “massive fraud” by the SEC, and its value was less than zero.
In mid 2018 a federal grand jury indicted Holmes and her former CEO on nine counts of wire fraud and two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Prosecutors allege that they engaged in two criminal schemes, one to defraud investors, the other to defraud doctors and patients. Both could face up to 20 years in prison; though have pleaded not guilty.
Born 3 February 1984, she has an inquiring, scientific and IT Aquarius Sun square an ultra-determined, hard-edge and obsessive Mars Saturn in Scorpio; with a high-finance and head-in-the-clouds Neptune Jupiter in money-minded Capricorn with her Jupiter in a superficially charming conjunction to Venus.
Her self-defeating, rise-and-fall 10H is strongly aspected; as is her loves-money 9H; and her can be self-destructive 16H.
There’s no date set so far for the trial and she looks as if the cataclysm isn’t affecting her confidence with a couple of Jupiter midpoints getting a boost from Pluto transits from now onwards till late 2020. Though she does have a catastrophic tr Uranus opposition her Mars/Pluto midpoint from July onwards which will dent her enthusiasm and that runs into 2020 where Uranus picks up another Pluto midpoint – so pluses and minuses ahead.
Interesting an idealistic Aquarian born in the year of the grand alignment.
Decades ago, I was watching a Perry Mason episode regarding this very activity. A woman inventor had created a computer which could diagnose from a single drop of blood. Perry mason volunteered to be the guinea pig durign trial but had substituted a drop of vegetable oil inst ead of blood. The machine diagnosed his as having a fatal cancer…how television can be prescient.
Also, “A 1958 episode of the Western TV show “Trackdown” features a con man named Trump who comes to town and promises that he alone can save the townspeople from the end of the world, by building a wall. He threatens to sue a Texas Ranger for insulting him. He says: I am the only one. Trust me. I can build a wall around your homes that nothing will penetrate. You ask how do you build that wall. You ask, and I’m here to tell you.”
At the end of the episode he is arrested, and then shot dead by a random assassin from town.
Seems you’ve missed a really key part of this chart. Holmes NN/SN axis says so much!
Her SN is conjunct Uranus, meaning that Ur will hold her back, and is in the 7th, make her emotionally, eccentrically detached (yet, in Sag, so blindly enthusiastic. It is conjunct Venus, as you cite.) Her life’s arc is from 7th, trying so hard to please, to the 1st.
Most critically, her Sun squares this axis! A planet squaring the nodal axis is one whose energies must really be worked on over and over by their owner, and they can initially (or permanently!) create a block to the person’s progress until they deal with that energy. Her Sun, in the 10th, no less, near the MC, and in emotionally-detached Aquarius, blinds her, as does its placement, i.e., her sense of her own success.
This to say, Holmes has a heavy dose of Uranus to work through, and not in the form of ground-breaking, society-saving technologies: she could have killed someone. A reading of the nodal axis exactly describes who she is.
