Astrologers tell us that those born under the sign of Scorpio are ambitious, hardworking, strong, confident, passionate, and determined. Powerful. Straightforward. Authentic. Honest. Scorpios are considered astute, intuitive, and laser-like in their ability to detect a note of falseness or deception. Above all, they are born leaders.
If anyone well-schooled in astrology had to guess Pearl Chase’s sun sign, they would choose Scorpio. And they would be correct. Her November 16 birthday placed her unambiguously in the zodiac sign that spans from October 23 to November 22.
That’s not to say she was a big believer in astrology. In 1941, a friend sent her a letter exploring the significance of the full moon in human affairs, claiming that the May full moon “will be shown the seal of mastery or spiritual defeat. It is the time for solemn dedication of all to the great work of Harmony, of Peace, of Integrated Consciousness — unafraid of upheavals and of the knife of the cosmic Surgeon — vision with the decisions that a World shall be born that is truly new.”
