It just occurs to me that "liberal" and "conservative" don't even make sense when you try to apply it to someone decades ago. You can't take someone from her time and easily apply the label because the very names have changed in definition, as have their values. I know my granny gets confused at times because of the changes of what's considered liberal and conservative being different than when she was growing up.

I like to think she'd be above the fray, as both sides get too ridiculous too often. I imagine her instead using charts and intuition when it came to candidates (I could see her as supporting a "Third Party" too), and would probably be inclined to measure things according to values rather than political expediency (ie, the exact opposite of the trend).

She had many progressive ideas, that are still fairly radical for this day, but that doesn't mean she's necessarily one or the other. She had ideas that would be considered strange by many liberals AND conservatives today.

Social conservative--she supported very traditional gender roles, anti-reproductive rights, anti-LGBT people (or, at the very least, not very understanding about them). She claimed to be supportive of the Equal Rights Amendment and viewed herself as a feminist, but she had very clear and pronounced ideas about gender roles and they leaned toward the conservative ideals.

That's what I picked up from "Love Signs".

I'd say that she was probably more liberal on metaphysical issues, but a social conservative, as I've already indicated.

So, I suppose that would technically make her moderate or independent?

I don't think that she fits into one neat little category.

She did a complete 180 from Love Signs to Star Signs (after learning from her GURUs).

In Love Signs, she was very adamant against abortion. In Star Signs, she was trying to figure out when the Soul enters the body.

I analyzed her chart here:
http://leftwingastrology.blogspot.com/2016/12/linda-goodman.html

The chart strongly supports her being socially to the right (and thus anti abortion and gay rights, which the authoritarian Pallas may also indicate), but the economic indicators lean strongly to the left. Very interesting.

I think she would be too firey to be a Libertarian

Liberal-leaning.

I'm fairly certain Linda Goodman had a hand in writing speeches for political friends in the democratic party.

Linda Goodman has dedications in Love Signs to Marc Salinger, the son of democratic politician Pierre Salinger.

Pierre Salinger was press secretary for President Kennedy. After Mr. Kennedy's assassination in 1963, Mr. Salinger returned to California and ran for the Senate in 1964.

quote:

---

for Marc Salinger

who will understand my coded message to him
of the power of the magic roses he and I
carried to St. Patrick's through the rain one
April morning in New York ... when he reads
this ... wherever he is

---

Marc Salinger is again listed in the back of Love Signs in the Libra section...
...above Pierre Trudeau's name, purposely out of alphabetical order so as to be placed above the name Pierre as though it was intended to be an (Easter egg) endearment for her friend and fellow bereaved parent, Pierre Salinger.

Marc Pierre Salinger was born on September 30, 1948 (Libra).

Marc Salinger died on February 9, 1977 in San Francisco at the age of 28.

Linda Goodman completed Love Signs in the summer of 1978.

Notice how Linda Goodman would glow about Jimmy Carter's Libran smile any chance she had?

Jimmy Carter was famously assisted by the artists at Capricorn Records in Macon, Georgia...
...who with popular artists of the time, such as Allman Brother's Band and Marshall Tucker Band, were integral to helping Jimmy Carter get the vote of younger demographics and win the election.

Did you know Jimmy Carter was a humble Goober farmer?
