All Scorpio Moons have a mother engaged with resources of their mate or another wealthy powerful person. The Scorpio Moon mother is often the consort of her husband. At the time of Malia’s birth, her mother, Michelle Obama as the Scorpio Moon, was actively engaged in propelling Barack Obama forward by using her own resources and marshaling his for him. The 2nd house is your personal estate, your physical assets. Michelle Obama’s marital relationship was about the intimate merger of two successful, powerful people. As a Capricorn Sun, her mastery of organization empowered him to shine as a Leo Sun.
Malia herself is outwardly one of this power couple’s creations. Her Cancer Midheaven and Cancer Sun beam out Michelle Obama’s mastery of the relationship. Malia was born on the 4th of July. She shares her birthday with America. Their Suns are conjunct her mother’s north node in Cancer. Michelle Obama had a mission for her daughter and her country. The couple liked to talk about transformation and change but the real change agent was America. America’s Pluto was conjunct Michelle’s Sun indicating America’s transforming power over Michelle. Malia’s Moon indicates that her mother was wounded. Chiron, the wounded healer, is loosely conjunct the Moon. America’s response to the Obamas had a transformative effect on Michelle.
Malia as the Scorpio Moon is the heiress to this maternal legacy. Not only will this involve resource inheritance but there in the 2nd house is a Sagittarius Pluto, indicating her personal assets include transformative power. These planets reside in her own estate. The journey of a Scorpio Moon is never easy. There will be moments when everything is lost. Where others will lose a job, a Scorpio Moon will lose a job come home early and discover their mate cheating causing the simultaneous loss of job, relationship and home. The Moon is security but Scorpio is, at its best, the Phoenix rising from the ashes. Rising from the ashes and security make for a very fraught moment in the Scorpio Moon’s life. This is for the purpose of refining the soul and making their foundation sure. Malia may have some Scorpio moments related to destruction of personal resources. As a Cancer Sun, it is likely she will embrace her reputation as the daughter, not of Barack Obama, but of Michelle Obama.
