Mae West was an American actress, playwright, screenwriter, and sex symbol. Famous for her bawdy double entendres, West made a name for herself in Vaudeville and on stage in New York before moving to Hollywood, becoming renowned as a comedienne, actress and writer in the motion picture industry.
Born Mary Jane West, into a ‘Middle-Class’ Protestant family, Mae West started performing aged five, turning professional aged twelve, as ‘Baby Vamp’. Her first starring role on Broadway was in a play titled ‘Sex’, which she also wrote, produced and directed. The notorious production did not go well with city officials and the theatre was raided, with West arrested along with the cast. She was prosecuted on morals charges and, on April 19, 1927, was sentenced to 10 days in jail for public obscenity. May West continued to write plays including The Wicked Age, Pleasure Man and The Constant Sinner. Her productions were plagued by controversy and other problems, which actually resulted in packed performances. In 1932, West signed a contract with ‘Paramount’ and went to Hollywood to appear in ‘Night After Night’, starring George Raft. West appeared in her last movie during the studio age with ‘The Heat's On’, (1943), for Columbia. She remained active during the ensuing years. Among her stage performances was the title role in ‘Catherine Was Great’ (1944).
May West also made some rare appearances on television, including The Red Skelton Show, in 1960. West also recorded two Rock and Roll albums, ‘Way Out West’ and ‘Wild Christmas’, in the late 1960s’. After a 26-year absence from motion pictures, she appeared in a role as Leticia Van Allen in Gore Vidal's Myra Breckinridge (1970). In 1976, she appeared on The Dick Cavett Show, giving insights into her proclivity toward vulgar humour and her battle with censorship. Mae West died in November 1980.

THE FIRST HOUSE.
TAURUS RISING SIGN.
SELF-PROJECTION.

Self-Projection indicates the way one would project the ‘Self’ out into the public eye and how others see them, though not necessarily how they really are. It indicates how one goes through life, the basic energy used to secure what is needed as an instinctive self-protective measure, either within an aggressive or defensive mode. This is a statement of the ‘Me First’ attitude, the way one activates the ‘Self’ in a selfish way, though the intention is to put the ‘Self’ to the front and make gains and not simply to make war. The 1st. House can be explained as being the ‘Unconscious Mask’ that one wears, a ‘Psychological’ guise so that others may not instantly recognise what weaknesses lay beneath the cover. The 1st. House is the ‘Unconscious’ disguise that raises one above the lesser animals, that one unconsciously hides instinctive reactions towards others.
The Zodiac Sign of Taurus represents the urge for ‘Financial Security’. It indicates what is purchased so that the sense of security is obtained through what is ‘Possessed’, what is materially gained that benefits the sense of ‘Well Being’. Acquisition is urged through a slow and careful ‘Build-Up’, prudent and cautious in what is paid for. The sense is that ‘Ownership is Power’ and that, with the build-up of property comes security. Taurus indicates a nature which is stubbornly fixed, tenacious in acquiring what is needed as a ‘Stronghold’, a ‘Vault’ of ‘Security’. The urge is to ‘Own’, to ‘Possess’ as an understanding that what one possesses is the mark of one’s ‘Status’ in life and will gain respect. Psychologically, Taurus represents ‘Good Taste’.
When Taurus covers the 1st. House in a Birth Chart then one will project the ‘Self’ in a cautious and patient manner. The nature is generous and attentive, although very stubborn if one opposes what it comes up against. Again, there can be forms of belligerence if upset, though it can take a lot to do this. Mostly, the nature tends to be restrained and calm, always looking for the ‘Better’ things in life. The tendency is to be materialistic, with an eye for a bargain but, here again, not over-greedy and not into a quick or cheap buy. One tends to have ‘Good Taste’ and will enjoy socialising and eating out at the best places, if finances allow. Generally, one keeps a tight eye on expenses and will be quite a haggler when buying. Often the Taurus in 1st. House can be drawn into property and estate business.
To gain deeper insight into how and what Mae West would purchase and accumulate as a need to gain sense of ‘Financial Security’, the need is to discover exactly where the Ruling planet of Taurus is domiciled, under what Zodiac Sign the Ruling planet of Taurus is seated and in what area of life it extends into, what House is covered. It is known that the Ruling planet of Taurus in Mae West’s Birth Chart is the ‘Materialistic’ and ‘Evaluating’ planet of Venus and Venus is domiciled in the Zodiac Sign of Cancer in the 2nd. House.
With the planet Venus ‘Extended’ from Taurus into Cancer in the 2nd. House of Cancer it indicates that Mae West would be quite ‘Self-Indulgent’ and ‘Hedonistic’, enjoying the fruits of life and buying what she could afford. Her sense of ‘Emotional Security’ was very much ruled by her sense of ‘Financial Security’. This means that, without money, to feed and clothe herself in the very best would have had an immediate effect of causing depression and led to a demoralising state of dependency on drink and drugs. However, it is known that this ‘High-Paid’ actress lived the ‘Good-Life’ and also knew how to enjoy the quality of wealthy ‘Friends’. Mae West lived in a very ‘Self-Centred’ world of ‘Opulence’ and knew how to drive a good bargain so that she would get the best of the ‘Barter’.
With Venus seated in the Zodiac Sign of Cancer in the 2nd. House, Mae West would have always kept a close eye on ‘Income’ and ‘Outgoings’ as a matter of‘Habit’. She knew the power of finance, having learned from early childhood that money counted in life. In this way she made sure that she always had a fully-stocked cupboard and a roof over her head. The basic need was to be able to offer the best to anyone who stayed under her roof. It would have been very important for her to be ‘Settled’ and not quick to venture out into the world beyond her ‘Castle’, which is why she always invited others into her home with those famous lines… ‘Why don’t you come up and see me sometimes’. Her door was always open, especially to those she considered to be her family. But, when it came to ‘Financial Security’, what she bought she had great attachment to and those things represented her ‘Emotional Comfort’.

THE SECOND HOUSE.
FINANCIAL SECURITY.

What is meant by Financial Security is the way in which one protects the self through the sense of material possessions. It implies the need to own possessions in a practical way, to slowly build up what is needed so that it gives a solid foundation, a sense of Financial Security. One might save up and buy a house so that roots are put down, a base from which one can continue to work, to have space for more possessions. The implication is what one spends money on and indicates an area of what is needed, what one needs to possess in life as a practical building block so that one feels secure. The idea is to patiently wait and slowly build up the stack a block at a time, so that one can afford to end up living in a ‘Financial Castle’, to have the ‘Possessions’ which prove one’s worth, what one has worked for in the life.
The Zodiac Sign of Gemini indicates an area of life in which the effort of communication is the medium which allows a sense of understanding, of what is going on in the world. Gemini instigates conversation, the method and logic used to construct what is communicated. Communication can be expressed through the mediums of speech and/or writing, whatever is needed to gain and pass on information. Gemini instigates mental curiosity and the urge to keep on the move in a restless way so that the mind becomes a ‘Busy Bee’, stopping at each flower of information and then passing the informative ‘Pollen’ on to other flowering ears. The nature of Gemini is to instigate conversation within the local environment, as a local newspaper ‘Reporter’, one who is not bogged down with heavy duty or concentrated effort.
When the Zodiac Sign of Gemini covers the 2nd. House then one might have many ‘Fingers in the Pie’. By that is meant that one is never happy with the boredom of routine and likes to be busy and to have various things going on at once, especially when it comes to ‘Financial Security’, one will have more than one string to a ‘Fiddle’. Generally, one with this combination will allow money to do the ‘Talking’ and finances can always be on the mind, so that one works within an industry which allows a lot of ‘Communicative’ spirit, to work within the media in some way. One can be drawn to working as a telephone operator or wherever the ‘Voice’ communicates attention. Financial Security has to be in there somewhere, the mind sharp and acquisitive so that how one thinks is the most convenient method of financial consideration.
To gain deeper insight into how and where Mae West would use the sense of ‘Communication’, the need is to discover exactly where the Ruling planet of Gemini is domiciled, under what Zodiac Sign in the Birth Chart and in what area of the life the Ruling planet extends into, what House the Ruling planet is resident. It is known that the Ruling planet of Gemini is the ‘Quick-Silver’ and ‘Mercurial’ planet of Mercury and Mercury, in Mae West’s Birth Chart, is seated in the Zodiac Sign of Virgo in the 4th. House.
When it comes to ‘Financial Security’, Mae West would tend to ‘Habitually’ keep a cool head on her shoulders. It would have been customary for her to reason out where a profit was to be made and to only buy what she felt was needed. In a way, she would have kept to a routine of what she did, understanding that method and logic were the things which kept her finances stable. This did not mean that she did not spend lavishly, it simply meant that she would keep ‘Tabs’ on expenditures and find ways of putting the costs down as ‘Expenses’, thereby having her ‘Bosses’ pay for it. There’s no doubting her love of communicating and the telephone bill would have been heavy. With Mercury in Virgo, there would not have been much wastage and her habitual thinking would have been ‘Waste not-Want not’!
Mae West would have kept a keen eye on her ‘Bill of Health’. She would have known that ill-health would mean no work, so that diets and health fads would have been within the reading material stacking her shelves at home. Again, money would have been spent on things of ‘Personal Hygiene’, especially medications for the throat and nerves. It can be the case, with this combination, that nerves could cause a loss of voice, so that Mae West paid particular attention to the vocal chords, understanding that the sensuality in her voice, the cool reflection which sounded sensual and attractive to men, was her ‘Calling Card’ and paid the bills. Underneath it all, Mae West was the consummate actress, knowing when and how to time her words so that such expressive actions paid a handsome profit.

THE THIRD HOUSE.
COMMUNICATIVE SPIRIT.

The 3rd. House deals with the 'Spirit' of communication and this implies the way in which one thinks, one’s method of logic, expressed through the mediums of speech and writing. It is how one communicates within the local environment and the way information is gained and conveyed to others. This is an area of everyday conversation, what one might talk about and whom to. The sense of communication is light-hearted and conducted in a spirited way. One tends to say what is immediately thought in a habitual way, with a sense of humour which can often come over as ‘Flighty’ and ‘Flirtatious’. Often, this area of communication can show how one will convey ideas and how one might communicate with siblings, relatives and neighbours. Quick visits are enjoyed, perhaps a ‘Week-End’ break to gain more information to pass on.
The Zodiac Sign of Cancer tends to be cautious and extremely sensitive to atmospheres, unhappy to be suddenly placed into new situations, so that one needs time to become accustomed to what is presented. One is quick to sense if another makes a ‘Personal Attack’ and will become ‘Moody’ and ‘Crabby’ until the offender is removed. In this way one will often project the ‘Self’ as a tough prospect though this is an act, the projection of a tough exterior which protects the soft ‘Inner Core’. One is protective of the ‘Home’ and the ‘Family’, feeling that one is always able to manage and will take on the responsibility, as the ‘Head’ of the family. One acts as the ‘Mother Hen’ or the ‘Rooster’, the protector within the ‘Chicken Coop’, the one who always ‘Manages’ to do what it sets out to do.
When the Zodiac Sign of Cancer covers the 3rd. House then one tends to allow what is felt to colour the thinking so that one will often say what one feels is instinctively right. Psychologically, one might become ‘Crabby’ should one feel that others make personal remarks, that one can quickly take things very personal and respond with an attack that lets another know how one feels. Again, there can be times when one will go into one’s ‘Shell’, times when the mood is not to talk so that there can be times of depressive thinking. Again, such thoughts can relate to the earlier childhood conditioning in that, if the childhood had been hard and under-nourished with love then the thinking can be coloured by depressive emotive sensations. However, it can be said that the past gives colour to the effort of communication.
To gain deeper insight into how and where Mae West would use the instinctive nurturing and ‘Mothering’ action, the need is to discover exactly where the Ruling planet of Cancer is domiciled, under what Zodiac Sign in the Birth Chart and in what area of the life the Ruling planet extends into, what House the Ruling planet is resident. It is known that the Ruling planet of Cancer is the ‘Sensitive’ and ‘Emotional’ Moon and the Moon, in Mae West’s Birth Chart, is seated in the Zodiac Sign of Cancer in the 2nd. House.
This combination, of the Moon in Cancer in the 2nd. House, gives indication that Mae West would ‘Feed’ herself on ‘Financial Fixation’, meaning that she would feel in excellent ‘Emotional’ condition as long as she felt ‘Financially Secure’. If she could not afford to buy whatever made her feel good, the best of everything, then she would certainly have become depressed and starved. Psychologically, having the cupboard full of ‘Goodies’ and the money to buy them was a subconscious ‘Transference’ of ‘Emotional Starvation’ to the physical urge to fill herself up with material benefits. In many respects, being able to feel ‘Well-Fed’ made up for her past and a ‘Home’ which was bare of ‘Cupboard-Love’. Mae West would have been very much at ‘Home’ when discussing finances and the affording of luxuries. Such thoughts would make her feel safe and ‘Financially Protected’.
Often, this combination would cause an instinctive urge to purchase a home which becomes a castle with a moat and drawbridge. This again is psychological in that Mae West would be in the position to stay within the concrete walls of her castle and draw up the drawbridge, only lowering it to those she felt she could trust and would talk to. She would not have been quick to trust strangers, feeling safer with those she was ‘Familiar’ with and, while her statements might sound familiar and ‘Throw-Away’ in a suggestive sense, she would have been more cautious as to whom she accepted into her ‘Family’ circle. Her lifestyle would be sumptuous and luxurious, as would be her language when she felt good. One might state that her language would be rich and colourful, though flavoured with sharpness, reflecting on what her mood was at the time.

THE FOURTH HOUSE.
EMOTIONAL SECURITY.

Emotional Security is all about how one feels, one’s sense of atmosphere and how one ‘Feels’ about the past. In many respects, the way one lived in the past reflects on how one deals with what is within the present. If one had a good early home-life, the past being kind, this would be reflected in the way one reacts to present situations, and vice-versa. Emotional Security is all about atmospheres and one's reactions to them and in this way one will react to early childhood conditioning. The 4th. House gives indication of the ‘Nurturing Spirit’ and how one is able to put down ‘Roots’, to become settled in ‘Later’ life. Often, this House can cause ‘Phobias’ and ‘Neurosis’, brought about through times of stress the ‘Mother’ might have gone through during the term of ‘Pregnancy’.
The Zodiac Sign of Leo tends to give an act of breezy confidence, a bearing which can seem to light up the room when one walks in. The nature is to be ‘Sunny’ and 'Generous', one is ‘Good-Hearted’ and with a tendency to put others at their ease. One will always be surrounded by friends, although one tends to treat friends in a courteous way, as if they are more in attendance than enjoying the intimacy of company. One has a strong ‘Creative’ sense of fun, the 'Will' to enjoy life and likes to organise whatever goes on around them, to offer favours with a ‘Royal’ wave of the hand. However, the urge is to expect some applause for the way one acts, as if one is on ‘Show’ all the time and for the favours bestowed on others. ‘Haughtiness’ and a grand sense of ‘Pride’ can be reflected in the dramatic nature of ‘Presentation’ when in the public eye.
When the Zodiac Sign of Leo covers the 4th. House then one would be very much at ‘Home’ through a naturally creative talent. The instinct is to ‘Show Off’ in some way and to feel the urge to break away from traditions, to leave the past behind and to create a new lineage in some way. There can be a talent for ‘Interior Design’ work and in working with children, to create a ‘Homely’ atmosphere so that the home becomes a palace, somewhere to be proud of and to treat children as Princes and Princesses. The kitchen can be a big draw and one might have very good culinary skills, able to create a masterpiece if called to do so. One can be very much at ‘Home’ on a stage, playing a ‘Starring Role’ and with a liking for being on ‘Centre-Stage’. Feelings are warm and one will create an atmosphere which plays to the audience.
To gain deeper insight into how and where Mae West would use the ‘Spontaneous’ sense of ‘Creativity’, the need is to discover exactly where the Ruling planet of Leo is domiciled, under what Zodiac Sign in the Birth Chart and in what area of the life the Ruling planet extends into, what House the Ruling planet is resident. It is known that the Ruling planet of Leo is the ‘Generous’ and ‘Good-Hearted’ Sun and the Sun, in Mae West’s Birth Chart, is seated in the Zodiac Sign of Leo in the 4th. House.
With the Sun in Leo, this enhances the positive and proud nature, also the desire to exhibit a generous and warm style of leadership, with a grand sense of pride and when the Sun in Leo is carried to the 4th. House then one would certainly be at home when ‘Showing Off’ on ‘Centre-Stage’. There would be some melodramas in Mae West’s life, simply because she would like the feel of a heated atmosphere and to push her way through as if she played a ‘Queenly’ role, having a natural talent for getting noticed. With her Sun in 4th. House, Mae West would feel the urge to gain recognition and applause for whatever she did and might always feel, underneath, that she never got the applause she deserved.
Mae West would love to live in a palace, somewhere where she could create a real sense of drama, so that her home would be more of a ‘Film-Set’ than a home set up for a family. In many respects, she would have wanted to be the centre of attention and this meant there was no room for others to share the starring role. With this combination, Mae West would dislike being told what to do by authorities, being a law unto herself, so that should she be told or ordered, she would instinctively react like a wounded Lioness, her pride would be hurt and she would not back down, being naturally stubborn and over-proud. With this combination, beauty would be a natural talent and she would take care over her hair and the clothes she wore, all part of the make-up and the dramatic creation within her life.

THE FIFTH HOUSE.
NATURAL CREATIVITY.

The 5th. House in one's Birth Chart indicates an area where one expresses an ‘Instinctive’ sense of 'Natural Creativity'. It implies where one has natural ‘Flair’, where one has ‘Pride’ and the need to ‘Show-Off’ what comes naturally. The sense of ‘Natural Creativity’ can come through spontaneous ideas. This can also include taking a chance on romance, the idea of creating a sense of adventure and lead a ‘Merry Chase’. A gamble and sense of fun will also come under the influence of creativity, as does poetry and other artistic forms. The sense is to be proud of what one creates, as a Mother is proud of the 'Child' she has created. The 5th. House accentuates a pride in leadership and good organising abilities and an ability to take dramatic parts in ‘Role-Playing, to dramatise scenes within the life’s role.
The Zodiac Sign of Virgo indicates an area of life which is under discernment, the ability to discern what constitutes a healthy presence and to understand what is ‘Needed’ to keep things flowing. The nature of Virgo is to keep the ‘Engine’ of life well oiled. The Zodiac Virgo gives reference to what is ‘Perfect’ and the ‘Need’ to have things in their rightful place and working to a perfect rhythm so that the ‘Machine’ of both, body and mind, work in perfect harmony and have no failings. Virgo is the spirit of what is ‘Healthy’ and will tend to ‘Doubt’ what is not put under scrutiny. In this way the nature of Virgo is to discern and discriminate, to test and put under a microscope whatever comes before it. The idea is to file things away in a continuous mental ‘Note-Making’, either by writing things down or retaining things in the mind.
When the Zodiac Sign of Virgo covers the 5th. House then one seeks fulfillment through a creative need to work for the benefit of others. One will take pride in a sense of resourcefulness and within creating a routine so that things work on time, without the dramatic breakdowns which stop the health of the machinery. The desire is to keep things running perfectly and to have pride in the way one uses ‘Time’ as an element of precision, to get things done on time and to have perfection. One seeks to be instructive and to read a script carefully so that the stage is always a masterpiece of precision engineering. Again, one understands that there is a time for work and a time for play, to know that too much intensive pressure can cause health problems and frayed nerves. One plays a leading role in keeping things healthy.
To gain deeper insight into how and where Mae West would use the sense of ‘Precise Thinking’, the need is to discover exactly where the Ruling planet of Virgo is domiciled, under what Zodiac Sign in the Birth Chart and in what area of the life the Ruling planet extends into, what House the Ruling planet is resident. It is known that the Ruling planet of Virgo is the ‘Practical’ and ‘Analytical’ planet of Mercury and Mercury, in Mae West’s Birth Chart, is seated in the Zodiac Sign of Virgo in the 4th. House.
When the planet Mercury is seated in Virgo in the 4th. House then one might continually reflect and worry about health and dietary problems, so that one suffers from nervous reactions and digestive problems. However, the tendency is to keep to a healthy regime, although this can become a dependency on tablets and such. Much is to do with keeping the emotions under control by strengthening the mind so that one has ‘Mental Control’ over instinctive actions. With this combination, Mae West would take pride in having a retentive memory, able to read her lines and remember every one so that she can recite them perfectly well. She would have enjoyed researching the history of what she had to prepare for, leaving nothing to chance.
Mae West would not have been one to accept the decisions of others, feeling that she knew best. In many respects she disliked anything she saw as interference in her life and even disallowed the past to cause emotional blockages, so that she had carried no ‘Baggage’ of past mishaps in her life. She would have looked at whatever she did with an analytical mind, analysing both the good and bad points as reference and, having made a mental note, dismissed them. Often, this combination gives a mine of information and Mae West might have been at her best when giving advice to others, very ‘Mothering’ when dealing with the needs of those who asked her for help. One has to always take note that, in this situation, too much stress or overwork could bring about dramatic nervous reactions, so that one had to be wary of mental-health problems. 

THE SIXTH HOUSE.
PRACTICAL CO-WORKING.

The 6th. House in one’s Birth Chart indicates an area which denotes one’s sense of ‘Co-Operating’ and practically ‘Co-Working’ with others. By ‘Practical Co-Working’ is meant how one applies the ‘Self’ to any form of practical work which involves working with others and how one gets along with the ‘Fellow-Workers’. This also applies to one’s sense of time, how one deals with the idea of routine and regulations, how one deals with detail as well as the sense of tidiness within working ethics. The 6th. House gives an idea of one’s method and practical knowledge as well as ideas about health and dietary habits. The idea was to have things working in perfect health, to be well-oiled and to show the practical skills, the co-operation between hand and mind. The ‘Need’ is for ‘Precision’ and to be ‘Needed’.
The Zodiac Sign of Libra indicates an area of life which represents the idea of ‘Peace’ and ‘Harmony’, to have things in ‘Balance’ so that whatever is represented is stable and well-balanced. Libra indicates what is ‘Related’ to and concerns the area of ‘Relationships’, how one thing relates to another, to ‘Love’ or ‘Like’ what gives a sense of ‘Justice’ and ‘Fair Play’. Libra urges a desire to please, to like and be liked in a reciprocal sense. It is the ‘Ying and Yang’ of living in harmony, with whatever exists. The enterprise is to be sociable, to exhibit charm, tact and diplomacy so that an area of ‘Peace’ is perfected. The nature is to be ‘Aesthetic’, to see the beauty in all things which please the eye because what is seen can be related to ‘Communication’ and to be informative within the rounds of the ‘Social Whirl’. 
When the Zodiac Sign of Libra is seated in the 6th. House then one seeks to balance life in a way that work and love co-operate, in a way that one does not unbalance the other. The nature is to gain sense of any relative problems through the aid of another, or those whom might impart the information so that one gains confidence, that one is perfect in the eyes of those whom one relates to. One can relate to others in a co-operative sense, by being tactful and fair and by doing a fair share of the workload. There is a need to share the responsibility with others for any action taken which does not work out, so that one relates to justice. With Libra covering the 6th. House, one will side with another should a cause arise which needs justifying. One relates to a sense of social justice and to fight for a cause so that a fair outcome is ascertained. One can be drawn towards work within the medical and beauty fields, there is often a good sense of technical skills, an eye for precision. The need is to find a balance between work and pleasure.
To gain deeper insight into how and where Mae West would use the sense of ‘Tact’ and ‘Diplomacy’, the need is to discover exactly where the Ruling planet of Libra is domiciled, under what Zodiac Sign in the Birth Chart and in what area of the life the Ruling planet extends into, what House the Ruling planet is resident. It is known that the Ruling planet of Libra is the ‘Magnetic’ and ‘Attractive’ planet of Venus and Venus, in Mae West’s Birth Chart, is seated in the Zodiac Sign of Cancer in the 2nd. House.
In many ways, Mae West certainly would mix work with pleasure and might have never seen the difference between the two. To her, work was the pleasure of making money and money was for pleasure and so she needed no discernment. Again, she was in the traditional game of being beautiful, of spending money on whatever beauty prospects were on the market at the time and so work was a beautiful way of spending time and money. Again, Mae West would be in the mood for fun at the drop of a hat and always in the mood to be in fashion. However, she was also a person whom made up her own rules and applied them to her work. In this way, breaking the law of the land may well have her ‘Serving Time’ and costing her some money in legal fees.
Mae West was in the business of being in the public eye, of having the public seeing her as a beautiful subject. To the women, she represented a rebel, someone other than just the ‘Little Woman’ who sat quiet. When she was in the mood to say something, she would speak her mind, whether it cost her or not. To men, she displayed a ‘Vampish’ nature, knowing that men would always spend money on the ‘Outrageous’. With Libra covering the 6th. House, Mae West did and said what she felt justified in saying, seeing her actions as simply part of her job. Though, with Venus ‘Extended’ into the 2nd. House, she would have been totally extravagant and always with an eye towards beauty. Had she been alive today and in her prime, her ‘Eye’ for the beauty business would have had her earning more money from selling beauty products than she ever could have done from her acting.

THE SEVENTH HOUSE.
LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS.

The 7th. House indicates an area of the life which deals with ‘Relationships’ and ‘Love’. It represents the ‘Give and Take’ within a relationship and deals with the qualities of what is fair and just. Whilst the word ‘Love’ is used, the idea of ‘Relationships’ is more to the point, in that the 7th. House indicates what one ‘Relates’ to. Relationships can include ‘Friendships’ and ‘Partnerships’, whatever attracts one to another whom might have a part of what is lacking in the ‘Self’. In this way one might need to relate to another who can give assurance or communicate so that one is given advice. The 7th. House can explain the sense of a ‘Magnetic’ quality, what attracts one and this can also include another’s sense of ‘Style’, of ‘Dress-Sense’, how and what one likes the ‘Look’ of.
The Zodiac Sign of Scorpio indicates an area of life which instigates the desire to ‘Share’ and ‘Transform’ whatever restricts the nature of evolvement and change within the nature. It urges the desire to get ‘Rid’ of what is ‘Bottling Up’ the continuation and the furthering of an easy ‘Flow’ to the ‘Life-Force’. Scorpio is the ‘Hidden Force’ which creates space for a constructive ‘New Beginning’ to be released. It is the ‘Hidden’ and ‘Secret’ procreative power which lies within the Psyche. Scorpio indicates a need to ‘Bring to Light’ what lies hidden within, so that what is discovered is then ‘Shared’. It is the ‘Transformative Agent’, the force of enlightenment which allows a further growth to the life. Scorpio is the urge to partner another so that the ‘Shared Interests’ give birth to a new ‘Created’ source which elevates the nature, allowing one to ‘Rise’ from the ‘Ashes’ of the restrictive ‘When the Zodiac Sign of Scorpio covers the 7th. House then the nature is to seek a relationship which might bring a change of structure to the way one worked, in that the dynamics of a relationship would cause one to allow another to dominate any situation so that the stronger nature of a partner would become the ‘Agent’ of change. A person would seek ‘Strength’ from another, taking notice so that one is ‘Modelled’ under another’s guidance. Often the need is to find a partner who would determine exactly what is needed, one who can relate to another’s needs. In this way, the whole nature of ‘Love’ can alter until one might feel one is more a ‘Subject’, a ‘Slave’ to a ‘Master/Mistress’ and this can bring explosive changes to the structure of Love, in that it can try to end, but is ‘Magnetised’ so one continues to ‘Return’ and begin again.
To gain deeper insight into how and where Mae West would need to bring to ‘Light’ the hidden action, the need is to discover exactly where the Ruling planet of Scorpio is domiciled, under what Zodiac Sign in the Birth Chart and in what area of the life the Ruling planet extends into, what House the Ruling planet is resident. It is known that the Ruling planet of Scorpio is the ‘Enlightening’ and ‘Transformative’ planet of Pluto and Pluto, in Mae West’s Birth Chart, is seated in the Zodiac Sign of Gemini in the 1st. House.
When the planet Pluto is seated in Gemini and, especially in the 1st. House, then one is extremely forceful and strong-minded. And, with Mae West having this combination in her Birth Chart, it is certain that she would become suddenly volatile and explosive should another upset her. Once her mind was set, there was not much one could do about it. Once she said she was going to do something then she was a dynamo, continuing on the road, whether it destroyed her or not. Mentally, she drove herself and could make herself clear of intentions through forms of expletives which others had not heard a lady use before. When it came to getting her own way, she was determined and no-one stood in her way. In many respects, Mae West was a ‘Loner’, a lady who had many secrets and might not be adverse to a bit of ‘Blackmail’ if it served a purpose!
With Pluto in Gemini ‘Extended’ from Scorpio in the 7th. House of Relationships, it’s a safe bet that, when it came to any relationship, Mae West would not suffer being told what to do. She was nobody’s ‘Little Woman’ and could be violently opposed to anyone who tried to ‘Share’ her mind with her. She kept her thoughts to herself about those who were a threat to her, though highly intuitive, reading minds so that she quickly realised another’s weak points, the weakness of another’s psychology. This is what she used when she needed to prick the confidence of another, coming out with a public statement which ‘Killed Off’ all opposition to her displays. She made no bones about making public statements and demonstrating her power in public displays.

THE EIGHTH HOUSE.
SHARED RESOURCES.

 The 8th. House has the energy of ‘Transformation’ in that one will seek another or something which, once forming an association, will transform the nature so that what one was used to is ‘Ended’ and a ‘New Beginning’ starts. The 8th. House represents a ‘Death’ and ‘Rebirth’, the transformation of one thing into another through the sense of sharing a concentrated source of ‘Power’. In many respects, the action is for the owner of the Birth Chart to surrender the ‘Self’ to the power of another, so that one draws into the self what power the other has, to share the ‘Power-Source’ so that the ‘Spirit’ of ‘Change’ is enforced. The nature of ‘Sharing’ will bring to light the ‘Hidden Unconscious Forces’ which will alter the shape of the ‘Life-Force’ so that one evolves and is elevated to a higher level. This House is deeply psychological and is the nature of dormant ‘Talent’.
The Zodiac Sign of Sagittarius indicates an area of life whereby the urge is to ‘Broaden one’s Horizons’ through the effort of travel and further studies. The energy instigates a need to discover the ‘Truth’, to go on a spiritual ‘Quest’ in search of the ‘Holy Grail’, the meaning of life and what can be believed. Sagittarius urges a strength of belief, what might give an ultimate ‘Faith’ in life. The aim of Sagittarius is to set goals and aims, to urge a sense of sporting optimism that all the goals are reached, the ‘Paths of Truth’ that break boundaries. One will go where there are no borders and break new grounds in this ‘Adventure’ which culminates, hopefully, in finding the ‘Fountain’ of ‘Faith’. Sagittarius espouses that ‘Knowledge is Power’ and that one can evolve and spiral once one has gained the knowledge which will give one complete ‘Faith’ in oneself.
When the Zodiac Sign of Sagittarius covers the 8th. House then one will tend to have a wide interest in hidden mysteries, to uncover ‘Secret Knowledge’ and to know what makes others ‘Tick’. There is a need to share this sense of knowledge with others, to expose any forms of hypocrisy and to bring sexual taboos to light. Knowledge would be sought about cultural beliefs, to know the truth, although one would feel there is more to the sexual nature, hidden within certain beliefs, that belief was founded of such sexual customs, like the Karma Sutra. One would be into experimental research and through personal experiences. The nature would be to seek a sense of ‘Union’ through emotional ‘Highs’, to gain sense of love through ‘Ultra-Mating’. Much is centred on revealing the hidden power of another within a relationship.  
To gain deeper insight into how and where Mae West would be urged to seek the ‘Truth’, the need is to discover exactly where the Ruling planet of Sagittarius is domiciled, under what Zodiac Sign in the Birth Chart and in what area of the life the Ruling planet extends into, what House the Ruling planet is resident. It is known that the Ruling planet of Sagittarius is the ‘Expanding’ and ‘Jovial’ planet of Jupiter and Jupiter, in Mae West’s Birth Chart, is seated in the Zodiac Sign of Aries in the 11th. House.
The nature of Aries is the sense of ‘Me First!’ to have one’s ‘Self’ put first, like a child who demands to be fed first. And when the Zodiac Sign of Aries covers the 11th. House then one is very much concerned with one’s future, making sure that one is not considered to be one of the ‘Herd’. One tends to stand away from the group, as the ‘Lone Wolf’ belongs to the pack yet ranges just beyond the main pack. So it would have been with Mae West, in that she would have considered her own feelings first and moving away from those whom did not agree with her vote. With the planet Jupiter domiciled in Aries in the 11th. House, Mae West would have looked forward to each day as a time of growth, knowing she was her own Mistress and would do as she pleased, to choose whom she would partner, like the child whom demanded the largest and sweetest ‘Candy-Bar’ in a shop window.
Whilst Mae West would have appeared as a ‘Socialite’, she would only move within a group until she saw what she wanted, the man who would suit her purpose, and then she would leave the group, taking the man with her. She was a luxury of ‘Promise’ and would know every sensual trick in the book. Psychologically, she would gain a sense of ‘Superiority’, knowing how to bring a man to ‘Heel’, to take their ‘Ego’, their ‘Manhood’ and then dispense with them after having learned the ‘Secrets’ of their ‘Sexual Power’. She enjoyed taking risks, entirely confident in what she did. Many saw her as the ‘Black Witch’, mistress of the ‘Dark Arts’ of love. In many ways she enjoyed making other women jealous, knowing her own powers of persuasion was something men thirsted after.

THE NINTH HOUSE.     
EXPANSION THROUGH EXPERIENCE.

The 9th. House indicates an area of the life whereby one will seek an expansion of the ‘Self’ through ‘Knowledge’. It indicates how one will search for forms of ‘Spiritual Experience’ so that one learns to find a value of belief, especially within the self. Expansion through experience is a measure of how and what one might learn through further and deeper studies and/or through distant travel which gives insight into foreign cultures which will ‘Broaden one’s Horizons’. Often there is a need to go on a quest, in search of the ‘Meaning of Life’ and to find out the ‘Truth’ of one’s existence. The belief can be that ‘Knowledge is Power’ and that should one gain a degree of knowledge then one can have ‘Self-Belief’, to go on to ‘Enthuse’ others, to teach others so they can also gain ‘Self-Belief’ and that to gain ‘Knowledge’ is why one lives on this Earth.
The Zodiac Sign of Capricorn indicates an area of life whereby the urge is to gain a ‘Reputation’ and to be recognised as one who has reached the top within ‘Career’. The need is to gain some degree of ‘Authority’ and to be beyond any point of criticism. The nature is to be persevering, with a dogged determination to reach the ‘Top’ and to be looked up to with respect from those in the lower ranks. One likes to be able to organise whatever goes on and to delegate to those one has faith in, that orders will be carried out. Capricorn insures a degree of careful consideration to any moves made, so there are no ‘Slip-Ups’, no failures which can have others pointing a critical finger. Capricorn is naturally careful over what it does, when it comes to working things out and for this reason the nature is to consider and ‘Test’ things over a period of ‘Time’.
When the Zodiac Sign of Capricorn covers the 9th. House then one will dislike the idea of being restricted, tied down to a classroom chair and for this reason one would not learn much at school and it’s often the case that more is learned out of school than in it. Again, one would possibly return to forms of learning later in the life, to take a degree of some kind, having learned to settle down and concentrate on what is needed for education. In a strange way, the nature of knowledge is what eventually will help one to become elevated in the eye of the public, one will learn that ‘Knowledge’ is ‘Power’ and so one will have others acknowledge this fact and look up to one who has something to teach them. In a way, it is when old age keeps the body still that the mind becomes more alert.
To gain deeper insight into how and where Mae West would use the sense of ‘Perseverance’ and ‘Ambition’ to climb, the need is to discover exactly where the Ruling planet of Capricorn is domiciled, under what Zodiac Sign in the Birth Chart and in what area of the life the Ruling planet extends into, what House the Ruling planet is resident. It is known that the Ruling planet of Capricorn is the ‘Limiting’ and ‘Restrictive’ planet of Saturn and Saturn, in Mae West’s Birth Chart, is seated in the Zodiac Sign of Virgo in the 5th. House.
The general effect of having Saturn domiciled in the 5th. House is to give a ‘Waning’ to the urge to put the ‘Self’ on centre-stage and in front of the ‘Spotlight’. And when Saturn is seated in Virgo in the 5th. House then it can be that one tends to keep work and play in separate compartments, that one is afraid of being seen as a person who spends their time just ‘Playing Around’. In a way, Mae West, whilst seemingly full of fun, took her work very seriously and much preferred to be the ‘Mistress’ when it came to working with others. She was not happy to have to share the ‘Limelight’, fearing another might steal the glory and so she would have been discerning as to whom she chose to work with.
This combination would have made Mae West very critical of the way others worked and she might not be able to tolerate mistakes. Again, she would have not been one to put her true feelings on display, simply because she would have felt it hypocritical to put on a false act, especially when she felt very little for those who did not try to act in a way natural to their talents. Such feelings, or lack of them, would not have endeared her to fellow actors, especially when she demanded special treatment. Psychologically, Saturn in the 5th. House can cause one to push harder, whether at work or play and to often reject anyone who tried to get near. This action, of rejecting, would come from unconscious feelings of being rejected by others if Mae West made advances and so she rejected others first as a ‘Safe-Guard’. However Mae West would act, this combination would give a certain coldness and aloofness to her nature, hidden by her need for the ‘Glamour’ of power.

THE TENTH HOUSE.
CAREER AND STATUS.

The 10th. House indicates an area within the life which deals with one’s sense of ambition and the urge to climb so that one is judged to have done well at the end of the line. This House gives an idea of how one deals with those in authority, with the sense of duty and the way one might organise the life. The aim is to gain recognition, to rise in the life so that one gains a reputation and status, whether good or bad. The 10th. House can give sense of what kind of career one might seek so that a reputation is realised. The nature is to accept the need for concentration and to start from the bottom, then to gradually work one’s way up the line of command. It signifies ‘Ambition’ and ‘Status’, the urge to be seen as having ‘Made It’ at the end of life. To be able to have others recognise one’s ‘Position’ in life.
The Zodiac Sign of Aquarius indicates an area of life whereby one thinks about and considers the ‘Future’. One seeks an ideal situation that suits one’s ‘Hopes’, ‘Aspirations’ and ‘Wishes’, what one might predict lies ahead. The nature is to find a cause to serve, to seek to make changes to the Social Scene so that ‘Outmoded’ ideas are ‘Updated’ and, in this way ‘Humanity’ gains the benefit. Aquarius is often found where there is social discord and rebellion, waging war for social justice and ‘Human Rights’. However, Aquarius is a ‘Sociable’ and ‘Affable’ nature, one which seeks the company of friends and finds comfort within associations which might stem from ‘Hobbies’ and gaining enjoyment through ‘Socialising’ outside of working hours, within group efforts. The need is to exchange ‘Ideas’ and cause changes through petitions and ‘Shared’ enthusiasm within the group.
When the Zodiac Sign of Aquarius covers the 10th. House then one might well find it hard to accept the idea of rules and regulations when it comes to work. The nature is to challenge those in authority if one considers the rules and regulations are outdated and are not considered to be ‘Sociable’. It can be the case that one will walk out of a ‘Career’, disliking the performance of ‘Duty’ and routine, preferring to seek something which seems not to conform to the normal field of work. One might seek to work within groups whom have ‘Humanitarian Aims’, to be of service for humanity as a whole, to aspire to change the rules so that all benefit. Should such work make one a ‘Rebel’ then so be it, although one is a ‘Rebel’ with a ‘Cause’.
To gain deeper insight into how and where Mae West would use the urge to ‘Update’ and ‘Revolutionise’, the need is to discover exactly where the Ruling planet of Aquarius is domiciled, under what Zodiac Sign in the Birth Chart and in what area of the life the Ruling planet extends into, what House the Ruling planet is resident. It is known that the Ruling planet of Aquarius is the ‘Eccentric’ and ‘Zany’ planet of Uranus and Uranus, in Mae West’s Birth Chart, is seated in the Zodiac Sign of Scorpio in the 6th. House.
When Uranus is seated in the 6th. House then the nature is to rebel against the rules and ‘Times’ set out so that such actions can upset the ‘Collective’ workforce. Such rebellious friction can cause a break-up of solidarity within a union so that a ‘Strike’ occurs and the whole workforce might suddenly walk out of the workplace, demanding better and updated working conditions. In this way, it can be seen that Mae West would have been something of a rebellious element within a group, disruptive in the sense that she would have set herself different rules to the more conformed and established set, changed the rules and even broke the law within her working ‘Career’. She had to be different!
With the rebellious planet of Uranus in Scorpio in the 6th. House, Mae West would have certainly set about breaking the ‘Taboos’ of moral codes, bringing the new ideas of ‘Sexual Attitude’ into the workplace and upsetting the more staid of society. She would have broken the ‘Rules’ set down as far as what might be said or exhibited within one’s work, bringing the ‘Career’ into disrepute. But, as in most cases whereby rigid rules are broken, it sets the precedence for such activity to become the norm after a slow ‘Time’ of acceptance. Mae West would, within her career, expose the hypocrisy of those in authority and, whilst she was seen as a ‘Brazen Hussy’, she exploded the myth that all women were angels. She elevated ‘Sex’ in her sense of ‘Showoffism’, shocking those she worked for and those she worked with, with her open exhibitions. The principle of Uranus means to ‘Liberate’ and when Uranus sits in Scorpio then the idea is to expose and liberate society from the sexual taboos placed upon it by the authorities.  

THE ELEVENTH HOUSE.
HOPES AND WISHES.

The 11th. House indicates an area within the life which deals with one’s ‘Hopes’ and ‘Wishes’ for the future, one’s expectations and what one ‘Aspires’ to in the life. It is what one might look forward to, although there has to be some forethought and planning, otherwise what is expected can be reversed and the unexpected will cause trouble. This Housing also indicates one’s ‘Social’ outlook, how one thinks about ‘Hobbies’ and socialising within groups. The 11th. House indicates whatever lies outside the area of the ‘Working Life’. There is a need for friendships and so life would relate to those friends who are involved with group efforts. The 11th. House also deals with ‘Ideals’ and what ‘Causes’ one might fight for, ‘Humanitarian’ causes which need ‘Up-Dating’ so that justice prevails and the ‘Ideal’ becomes the ‘Norm’.
The Zodiac Sign of Pisces indicates an area of the life whereby one would need to ‘Escape’ from the competitive ‘Rat-Race’, the heated atmosphere of authority which most of the ‘Human Race’ enjoys. The nature of Pisces is have an escape route into the land of ‘Dreams’, into areas whereby the imagination can become enlarged so that all things are easily available. It is the ‘Magic-Land’ of ‘Illumination’, the ‘Playground’ of Children. Pisces offers a safe haven, often as a ‘Spiritual Heaven’, where one might pray for some peace and quiet, to drift into a natural ‘Dreamland’. There can often be a confusion as to what is real, for the imagination can bring on illusions so that one might believe what is imagined and project an eccentricity of nature that is larger than life. Pisces is one of the most sensitive Zodiac Signs and highly ‘Impressionable’.
When the Zodiac Sign of Pisces covers the 11th. House then the indication is that one might dream about what lies in the future for them, to aspire to dream so that fancy can turn the head of one who seems so down to earth in one’s manner. Pisces covering the 11th. House can cause the Farmer to dream of becoming an intrepid explorer and, should this fancy become real within the mind then the Farmer might suddenly leave his farm, his home and family and go off into the wilderness, such is the impressive dreams of the Pisces nature. The nature can cause one to become distracted from the ‘Norm’ of life and wish to ‘Follow a Star’, seek the ‘Ideal’ life and live the dream.  Pisces can give inspiration as well as confusion, so that one either swims up to the light or down into the mud of dreamy ‘Escapes’ from the harshness of the ‘Rat-Race’.
To gain deeper insight into how and where Mae West would use the instinctive need for ‘Imitation’ and ‘Escape’, the need is to discover exactly where the Ruling planet of Pisces is domiciled, under what Zodiac Sign in the Birth Chart and in what area of the life the Ruling planet extends into, what House the Ruling planet is resident. It is known that the Ruling planet of Pisces is the ‘Transcending’ and ‘Imaginative’ planet of Neptune and Neptune, in Mae West’s Birth Chart, is seated in the Zodiac Sign of Gemini in the 1st. House.
When the planet Neptune resides in the 1st. House it can have influence over the way one projects the self out into the public domain and, when Neptune is seated in Gemini in the 1st. House then one might well project the voice in such a way that it confuses those who hear it, the public audience. In this way, Mae West was famous for confusing the public with her ‘Double Entendres’ and ‘Innuendoes’. She would speak in a highly suggestive and sensual way, which meant that those who understood what she meant, and said so, could be accused of having a ‘Dirty Mind’. It is known that the nature of Gemini is to say one thing whilst meaning another, to often be contrary, so it is easy to see how Neptune causes this vocal ‘Mud’! The principle of Neptune is to ‘Transcend’, to be ‘Inspired’ and so Mae West would be inspired to ‘Transcend’ the obvious.
The influence of Neptune in Gemini is to embroider the facts, to give variations on a theme and so Mae West was able to speak words which gave visions of imagery which inspired the higher and sensual spirits within men. She was an ‘Inspired Story-Teller’, very visual and the simple lift of an eyebrow was expanded into a whole sexual story which could send a man into day-dreams of love. It has to be understood the combination of Neptune in Gemini was ‘Drifted’ from the 2nd. House of her Birth Chart and this gives the knowledge that Mae West used such visionary and suggestive language as a way of earning money and, therefore gaining financial security.

THE TWELFTH HOUSE.
DREAMS AND IMAGINATION.

The 12th. House is an area which indicates ‘Dreams’ and the sense of one’s ‘Imagination’, an area through which one might escape from the hardships of the harsh side of life. It signifies a greater sense of compassion and sympathy which can cause ‘Guilt Complexes’ and, through feelings of guilt, urge one to make ‘Sacrifices’, to give up one’s time and seek a higher cause to serve. In some respects, the 12th. House can confuse the energy of what one believes. Should one have experienced a hard earlier life then one can believe in ‘Bad Luck’ and superstitions, ‘Bogeymen’ and the like. In a way, the 12th. House can be a confusion of ‘Early Memories’ which cause an enlarged imagination which brings fear and the need to run away from life. One is alive to the nature of ‘Impressions’.
The Zodiac Sign of Aries indicates an area of the life which represents the ‘Self’ and the ‘Me First’ attitude. It shows how one will use assertion to get what is wanted through aggressive moves.  The nature is to go straight to the point of what is wanted. The tendency is to be head-strong and willful and no sooner has one set one's sight on what is wanted than one sets about attaining whatever it is. The Aries Rising Sign does not think about the consequences of any action, the speed of action is automatic and without consideration and so, for this reason those with Aries prominent in their Birth Chart might well be accident-prone, rushing ahead so that the ‘Headlong’ rush means that the head is the part that meets in a collision with whatever gets in the way. ‘Immediate Action’ is the order of the day with Aries!
When the Zodiac Sign of Aries covers the 12th. House then what one ‘Dreams’ about, one’s ideas of ‘Escaping’ from the competitive ‘Rat-Race’ are basically selfish. It is the sense that ‘Charity’ begins at ‘Home’, it is the essence of ‘My Dreams’, ‘My Adventures’ and how ‘I’ escape. It implies that one will tend to spend a lot of energy into pursuing dreams, determined to make dreams come true so that they give success and an easy life. It’s often the case that the energy disperses quite quickly with this combination and so one is forever seeking new outlets for a powerful imagination. It can be hard to face reality when Mars is domiciled in the 12th. House, although, once one knows how to handle such illusive ‘Magic’ then one can have the power of ‘Manipulation’ over those with less strength of ‘Will-Power’.
To gain deeper insight into how and where Mae West would use this instinctive ‘Aggressive’ action, the need is to discover exactly where the Ruling planet of Aries is domiciled, under what Zodiac Sign in the Birth Chart and in what area of the life the Ruling planet extends into, what House the Ruling planet is resident. It is known that the Ruling planet of Aries is the ‘Activating’ and ‘Forceful’ planet of Mars and Mars, in Mae West’s Birth Chart, is seated in the Zodiac Sign of Aquarius in the 9th. House.
One can be sure that Mae West suddenly realised at an early age that sex was a strong exhilarant, the power which had men quickly dreaming and, with Mars in Aquarius, she gained the ‘Knowledge’ that the way to contain a man’s power was to ‘Shock’ him into submission through the powers of ‘Suggestion’ and ‘Illusions’ of sexual mastery. Mars in Aquarius indicates a nature of wanting to set the world alight, it can be the mark of an ‘Arsonist’, one who wants to ‘Blaze’ a trail and scorch the earth of rationality. Mars in Aquarius is to mentally ‘Combust’ the world and when this combination is seated in the 9th. House then Mae West would ‘Set Light’ to a new ‘Knowledge’ and create mayhem. She would ‘Burn’ the old rules and put an electric light to the new order of ‘Sexual Behaviour’, light up a ‘High-Spirited’ drama in the lives of the ‘Dull’.
The Zodiac Sign of Aquarius is an area proposed to ‘Futuristic Ideas’, to ‘Update’ conservatism through inspired ideas and inventions, to bring to light the idea of a ‘Washing Machine’ which did away with the old ‘Scrubbing Brush and Washtub’. And in the same principle, Mae West ‘Invented’ ideal ‘Dreams’ which invigorated the hearts of man. She ‘Revolutionised’ the way people accepted sex as party of living. Mae West loved to use ‘Shock-Tactics’ which created reactions from those conditioned to accept the moral rules set down. She offered the ‘Dream’ of sex through suggestions, through her words… ‘Come up and see me sometime’, followed by a suggestive wink. Even those words sparked off a fiery report from the elite of society. Eventually, even the ‘Upper Classes’ began to accept the bawdiness, joining in with the laughter of the ‘Lower’ and more vulgar classes.
