I burst out laughing as I listened to the wonderful news that not only do we have a woman heading the International Monetary Fund (IMF) but, in an interview with  journalist Christiane Amanpour that testosterone turns out not to be so helpful for decision-making. She said that men tend to make decisions with way too much ego involved with disastrous results (I added that part). Women inject less libido so we don’t project our ego when cutting a deal. I would also add that since men are distinctly uni-taskers they often can often miss the big picture while shooting at the target right in front of their face, which, more often than not, does not requiring shooting at all.

I am also thinking of how too many men (testosterone and egos out of control) tend to bring their sexuality into the decision-making part of their work world, thinking of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the departed-in-disgrace last head of the IMF, whose departure mercifully opened the door for LaGarde.  Here in America we have our own disgraced leaders leaving posts of huge responsibility – the latest being Anthony Weiner and his body part tweets. What part of  “everything that goes on the internet is available to everyone” do these people not understand? Or worse-  they DO understand and WANT to be seen by everyone in the Universe for all their sexual peccadillos! That’s infinitely more creepy. And what IS this obsessive-compulsive externalization of sexuality anyway? Can’t men keep their neurotic sexual behavior in the privacy of their own minds where they belong?

Christine LaGarde
Born January 1, 1956.   Sun Sign Capricorn, Moon sign Aries, year of the Fire Monkey.

Of astrological interest is that both Michelle Obama and Kate the new British royal are also Capricorns. We know that Pluto is transiting Capricorn and when Pluto transits the Sun nothing but HUGE transformation is inevitable. All three of these women represent a new paradigm of leadership and involvement in world affairs. I, for one, am deliriously happy about the rise of Capricorn women into positions of power, which is exactly where they should be -heralding the paradigm shift to a more woman-centered, woman-led consciousness of inclusion, awareness of the needs of the whole, and some serious level-headed decision-making.

All of a sudden I can sleep just a little bit better.

Here’s the Amanpour/LaGarde interviews:

LaGarde’s Capricorn personality of reason, responsibility, and the voice of sanity SHINES through in this interview!
It”s worth watching.
