let’s do this. i present to you: hatshepsut.
Hatshepsut is one of the handful of Egyptian women that were documented pharaohs in ancient history. This is because sons typically succeed their fathers in that era. Her father King Thutmose I died without having any legitimate sons. So Hatshepsut married her half brother Thutmose II so that he could be pharaoh. But then he died too - making her three year old step-son the pharaoh of Egypt :). Hatshepsut ruled in place of this toddler until he was eight when she became his official co-ruler. This is thought to be due to a threat of losing all of Egypt - for the next twenty-two years, they ruled and brought wealth and artistry to their land. She sponsored one of the most successful expeditions from a place called Punt that brought in ebony and gold to Egypt. Hatshepsut oversaw many expansive trades like this one as well as architectural projects - most notably, her burial sight on the Thebes, the Temple of Deir el-Bahri. Hatshepsut had her father reburied in her tomb in efforts to legitimize her reign. Thutmose III, after his step-mother’s death, did all that he could to erase evidence that she ever ruled (including painting in statues where she dressed as a king) - either to empathize a MALE dynasty or to remove all evidence of a strong female leader. She laid there undisturbed until the nineteenth century, when archeologists discovered her sarcophagus was empty just like all the other tombs in the Valley of Kings. But after her death, Egypt doesn’t experience another female ruler for nearly fourteen centuries (Cleopatra). IN MY OPINION Hatshepsut can represent a) where you break through the glass ceiling, b) breaking generational cycles, c) guardianship, d) success in innovative ideas and business deals, e) being underestimated/undervalued/easily dismissed by others, and f) androgynous beauty.
i encourage you to look into the aspects of hatshepsut along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of hatshepsut AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede hatshepsut!
