Oprah Winfrey's Sabian Symbols at a Glance
Published 9/1/05

Sabian symbols reveal so many layers in a conventional reading. The various meanings, influences, and clues to our life can go on and on once we really look, but for a start, a basic list of sabian symbols for an individual can be a solid beginning. Here is a list of Oprah Winfrey’s Sabian Symbols. Oprah Winfrey has long been an agent for change, motivating people to see beyond the mundane and to extend themselves with honesty and open communication. In her symbols we see this combined with her deep spirituality. Briefly, REALLY briefly, looking at each of Oprah’s symbols here we can imagine what our own symbols may be and how they may speak to us and those around us.

Oprah’s Sun Symbol describes her ‘energy centre’ and can simply mean her popularity on TV, reflecting also her own ability to ‘turn off’ to external pressures.

Her Karmic condition shows her ideas and beliefs turning into something substantial, powerful, and forceful, an angelic feeling with the bird imagery.

The Mercury Sabian Symbol, a woman disappointed and disillusioned, is maybe her most obvious and potent publicly seen symbol. Communication is her most powerful tool. She is most expressive when she is disappointed and trying to change, reeducate or reinvent a solution to deep social, financial, and spiritual problems. She acts out her feelings on TV through communication and in turn changes the way things are done.

Venus for relationships, a repetition of her sun symbol gives it more credence in her chart. It also supports her Sun and her ego. She is well liked and admired by many and connects in a real way with many different people, even if is for short segments on her show.

The Mars Symbol indicates people motivate her and give her the energy she needs to do all the work she does. It also infers a ‘prophet’ like popularity, where she provides meaning and spiritual awareness.

Oprah’s fortune and career really do come from her unusual ‘maturity’, wisdom, and the power of her mind derived from her Jupiter Symbol.

Saturn speaks of her past life ties to the people she is with in this life.

Uranus - her use of her voice is a gift.

Neptune, not only does she travel in the physical by plane, but her thoughts are ‘up there’ and her ideals, beliefs, and dreams ‘fly high’, and I expect guided ‘from above’.

Pluto, transformation is for her in her ability to go the distance and too bring back the riches from unknown places.

Healing (Chiron) for Oprah may include a spiritual retreat.

Oprah’s life path is interesting also. South node: ‘woman and two men on a bit of sunlit land facing south’ + North node: ‘a woman entering a convent’ = her life path. Her South node again has her negotiating with people, the key word being inception, and indeed with the help of others she has laid the foundation to many organizations. Her North node, a woman entering a convent, speaks about true inner vision, the soul committing to a Divine energy in a public way and her commitment to all ‘good’ causes, her devotion, and enthusiasm.

What symbols did you choose at your time of birth to help guide you?
