The new girl in town – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

More than two years ago, we witnessed one of the biggest political upsets in recent history, with Donald Trump being elected as the President of the USA. That was one of the most brutal defeats for the Democratic Party; it shook them to the core.

They were almost 100% sure that Trump’s aggressive rhetoric had no chance against the Democratic queen, Hillary Clinton, who seemed destined for the presidential throne. After the shocking Trump’s victory, the Democratic Party was left in disbelief and disarray. With Hillary’s defeat and Obama stepping down, they were left leaderless and clueless.

They knew, though, that if they wanted to get Trump out of the White House, they needed to find someone charismatic and strong enough to fight him. And after a long wait, it seems they found it in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a new political rising star.

Merely a year ago, Ocasio-Cortez was just a regular girl with no political background or diplomatic experience. Today, she is a congresswoman with millions of social media followers and a powerful voice. The media loves her, first because she speaks her mind, second because she is very charismatic and beautiful, and third because the left-leaning press is so desperate to bring Trump down. Suddenly, overnight, the Democrats got new hope, a strong charismatic personality who can take on Trump, using the same weapon as he did, the power of social media.

So, let’s see what weaponry Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez possesses.

STRONG YANG FIRE, REBELIOUS IN NATURE

We were not surprised to find out that she is a Yang Fire Master Element, loaded with Fire. Such an explosive, witty, and excessive Fire Element usually powers a magnanimous personality. But what makes this Fire extremely effective is the solid support of Wood, which acts as a source of power for her Fire, making it sustainable.

Another important aspect of her BaZi Chart is the strong presence of hot Earth, which acts as the Output Component. Her Water is nonexistent, meaning the Power Component is weak. This dynamic represents a rebel personality, someone who is able to confront authority, and, because of her strong voice (Earth as Output), the authorities on the other end can find her rather annoying.

This rebellious nature is clearly seen in her political activities. She is very keen to dismantle the political status quo and advance new ideas.

The problem with overly strong Yang Fire is that those ideas are often completely unrealistic. She recently proposed a New Green Deal, which most experts deemed as economically unsustainable, basically a pipe dream.

This is so typical for strong Yang Fire people. They are loaded with ideas but unable to turn them into practical projects. Yang Fire individuals need to surround themselves with people who can turn their ideas into reality. If she doesn’t do that, her policies and ideas will eventually fail miserably.

OUTSPOKEN BUT WITH COMPASSIONATE NATURE

There is another interesting detail, her Philosopher Talent acts as Supertalent, which means she is a compassionate person and genuinely wants to help weaker and poorer citizens.

She is still young and full of ideas, so we have to see how she will develop, especially once she encounters pushback from the establishment, which is not keen on change. A rebel like her is not used to making compromises, and politics is all about that. Her strong Competitor Talent makes her fierce and prone to conflicts, so it will be difficult for her to cooperate with political opponents, which is necessary if you want to push radical policy changes through Congress.

She is not a diplomatic type; she uses her emotions to convey her messages. These messages do work on certain people, especially the liberal part of society (they generally react well to Wood and Fire types), but conservatives will hesitate to support her; to them, her ideas look naive and unrealistic.

She is currently in a Fire Ox period. Ox combines with Snake, creating a Metal structure, making her Fire a bit more manageable; therefore, we can say that she is now in her lucky period. She has no Water, which is necessary to gain a leadership position in politics, so she will probably remain in opposition. Putting pressure on authorities is her main drive; if she were to one day become a person of authority, like, for example, a president, it would be a rather strange position for her because she would have no boss above her to push against. Due to this dynamic, rebellious people don’t stay in power for long. Later in her life, she might be more able to acquire such a position, but not now.

In any case, she seems a worthy opponent for Trump. He likes a good fight; he is, of course, also very competitive, and her being a woman and Hispanic gives us the most dramatic setup for an epic clash.
