Sarah Palin's North Node is in Cancer; her South Node is in Capricorn. Even if her birth time in inaccurate, these remain true. Because astrologers recognize that the North Node is the direction the Soul longs to go towards in this life, and the South Node represents what it longs to leave behind (or its default mode that it wishes to outgrow) then there is a potential crisis or serious challenge here.
A Capricorn South Node implies that this Soul is familiar with positions of power in public places. Earlier in this life, or in other lives, she's been immersed in issues around money, power, reputation, and stressing the goal or end-point, rather than the means to the end. Politics and ruthless ambition has been the norm. Now, the suggested direction of her destiny, if she went to an astrologer, would have been that she move away from these Capricorn South Node tendencies, to move in the direction of her North Node destiny--which points to all things Cancerian. This would put an emphasis on empathy, process, and nurturing, rather than goal directed behaviors such as helping to "win a war." Motherhood or caring for others with special needs would be perfect. Sacrificing one's personal life for politics and running a country is not the goal of a North Node Cancer, such as Sarah Palin. She may have lots of public ease as a revolutionary reactionary this time around, since she's done it before, but there's a hint here that the more she sacrifices her feeling nature, and the feelings and nurturance of her family, the less likely the Universe will be in supporting her in the long run. This doesn't mean that she couldn't win the VP position; she should be very good at all the political behavior involved, but if astrology has truth, then the family and personal karma created could be tragic.
Yet, astrologer's shouldn't be too bold in fortune-telling. We cannot read the mind of God; all we can say is what has been taught and handed down to us through the centuries. And even with this Nodal placement, Sarah Palin always has the choice to choose empathy and nurturance and true family values. She doesn't lack integrity, yet unfortunately, she doesn't seem to honor the woman and mothers whose shoulders she stands on---those who have fought for woman's rights, and who have brought women out of back room abortions and given them the right to vote for their own lives and bodies. What kind of a family value choice is it to have a baby at the exact same time as going for VP? What a difficult decision that must have been for her; and yet I wonder what other difficult decisions she believes in, that she may eventually make us all sacrifice for--?

Well said!
I'm curious as to how you think the U.S. chart being in Cancer relates to this. Any thoughts?
-It would be important in this case to see in which houses the nodes fall. Maybe she is supposed to use her cancer north node not only for her family (as she has and is doing), but for the public, or groups, or big organizations.
BTW- Michelle Obamah has exactly the same nodes. Astrologically it will be so interesting to see which of these women ends up having to give up their "home life" and take up a position at the White House in Washington with all its Capricornian duties - and play "mother"of the nation
What a difference Gov/Mrs. Palin's destiny would read if a sidereal vs. a tropical birth chart was used.
The North Node would then fall into Gemini and the South in Sag. It could very well be more accurate even though we don't know the exact birth time. It would also support Michelle Obama's drive for personal recognition and success through political leanings.
I am not a Palin supporter. But I thought you would be very interested in this quote from her inaugural address as Governor of Alaska.
"I will unambigously, steadfastly, and doggedly guard the interest of this great state, as a mother naturally guards her own. Like a Southeast Eagle and her eaglets, or more appropriately here in the Carlson, like a Nanook defending her cub."
Dec 4 2006 inaugural address
There have been lots of personal emails to me about Palin and these posts, but I think we'll leave well enough alone with what we have here. If people want to write me personally, then I'm not going to post it. There's so much that can be said and debated, but that is not my personal path in the world of astrology. !~ elizabeth
