Oprah Winfrey: Woman
built 295 days ago
[W]ere she not such a successful businesswoman, shed make a great lawyer; her Mercury square Mars gives Winfrey that razor-sharp tongue. Its rare that anyone will get the best of her in a verbal debate. Shes ... quick, spontaneous and extremely smart. As her Sun is square Saturn, Winfrey is also intensely disciplined and quite hard on herself -- and twice as hard on others. Surprisingly, this tough persona may stem from a lack of confidence and lingering memories of having been an ugly duckling as a child. Thats no longer the truth, however, if it ever was; she has developed into a strong, beautiful and intelligent woman who is a role model for all.
