Andrew Peacock (February 13, 1939 – April 16, 2021)

I usually don’t look at Australian politicians, but I’ll make an exception for Andrew Peacock. And, by now, you know why: his association with Shirley MacLaine. What is interesting is the press decided that the British Labour leader in Ms. MacLaine’s book “Out On A Limb” was based on this man, but I suspect that, in reality, her time with him was way after the events of the book. Anyway, here’s his chart:

Peacock’s birth time is unknown so I have rectified his chart to represent the age (24) when he first married (Venus). That presents us with one inconjunct linking the Sun and Neptune. Hmm.

Sun Inconjunct Neptune

You can develop into a compassionate and understanding person who instinctively knows what others need and how to serve them. True selfless service to others, giving of yourself voluntarily rather than because you feel there is no choice, will make you feel good.

More intangibly, his personal warmth, intuitive intelligence, curiosity and urbanity brought a welcome dimension to Australian public life – one that is sadly absent during the current era of beige politicians.

Dating American actress Shirley MacLaine, hobnobbing with global socialite Ira von Furstenberg, being a regular at dinner parties in Bel-Air in Los Angeles and Palm Beach in Florida, may have been fodder for the gossip writers, and fed the resentment of drab political figures. But the Peacock ledger is more than balanced by his remarkable contribution.

At a personal level, a common refrain from those who knew him, including political opponents, was that Andrew Peacock made people feel good. He was an enlarger.

So, What About His Relationship with Shirley MacLaine?

Well, astrologically, they are very well suited together.

Again, Ms. MacLaine’s Saturn (father figure) is within 3° of Peacock’s Sun. That would make him very attractive to her. His Saturn is conjunct her Mercury, while his Mercury is conjunct her North Node. Their communication level is very deep. Even that Neptune in his chart is within 7° of her Ascendant.

Hmm.
