On this day in 1869, Indian political and spiritual leader Mahatma Gandhi was born. Committed to nonviolence (he was one of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s many inspirations), Gandhi spent his life trying to achieve peace and unity… and astrologically, it’s no wonder. Just like former President Jimmy Carter (who won the Nobel Peace Prize and whose birthday was yesterday), Gandhi was a Libra with a Libra Rising. His Leo Moon gave him the strength and courage of his convictions – and Neptune in Aries, the strength to turn his dreams – the dreams of his people – into reality.
