Whoopi Goldberg's chart clearly demonstrates the power of the 'bowl' pattern (all planets in less than one half of the wheel), which gives her the ability to rise to the forefront of her profession (See also Harrison Ford). The somewhat tight configuration of this pattern (restricted to about one-third of the wheel) almost guarantees success, so long as natives apply themselves. Her Venus in Sagittarius is not only the leading planet but also the most elevated, undoubtedly attesting to her extreme popularity and appeal. Saturn conjoining Sun is a classic configuration for an actor or entertainer. In Scorpio, both these planets give Whoopi penetrating insight into people's true motives as well as put her 'in touch' with what's happening on all levels of society. Her comedic genius undoubtedly comes from her ninth house planets (Sun, Moon, Saturn) in Scorpio, which give her work its gutsy realism and cynical edge. South node in the fourth indicates she naturally has a soft heart and has had to 'toughen up' to the realities of business. Part of Fortune in the twelfth means she will always be admired for her strength of spirit and her ability to relate to everyone on a basic level.
