Hi All,
I recently watched the documentary about Jessi Combs that Rad posted above and wanted to share some insights to honor her, specifically regarding her Asteroid Amazon.

LEGENDS Never Die ~
A Warrior Worth Remembering!
Jessi found the fast line and she never looked back. It was her instinct to speed ahead and her emotional response to the challenge that became the only radar she needed to say YES! She pushed every limit known to the sport of racing. Once a goal was reached, she was raising the bar to go ever faster, always faster; she had the need for speed.
It was also her desire to chase the adventure down roads few have ever traveled, and to experience a world where no apparent limits existed that kept her coming back for more.
Jessi had a wildly rebellious spirit, coupled with a breathtaking courage (the Amazon warrior kind of courage), making her appear fearless within all of her high-risk pursuits. But behind her ‘poker-face’, much more was going on than met the eye. With her South Node of Amazon in Scorpio and her natal Asteroid Amazon in Cancer, she intentionally pushed herself far beyond any limit she was comfortable with until she was swimming in a sea of insecurity that comes when taking something to an extreme, not knowing how it will end. This dance with death contributed to an unmatched emotional charge that she wanted to feed any chance she could get, for it is where she felt most at home within her wild warrior nature.
Jessi’s Amazon in Cancer reveals how she fed off the flood of emotions that inevitably erupted before, during, and after every top speed chase or record setting venue, knowing that every time she crawled into that jet-powered race car, she risked that day being her last. It was riding the fine line between life and death that made her Soul feel so much alive. She described what would happen when the pedal hit the medal, it was as if she was ‘out of body’, watching herself behind the wheel, the ruler of her Amazon in Cancer is the Moon in Aquarius . For Jessi it was like traveling between worlds, seeing nothing but white light as she took that land rocket with wheels to blistering speeds.
Her Amazon in Cancer instinctually showed her that the direct channel to harness her power was through those emotional waters, seen within Cancer’s natural trine to Scorpio, In cardinal fashion, with her Amazone in Cancer, this required absolute vulnerability, which led to an anxious anticipation to take her sport to speeds that no woman (as well as most men) had ever reached. The pure emotion on display following the success of every nail- biting challenge was nothing shy of total elation, while at the same time voicing how she wished she could have shared that ride with others so they could feel what she feels, Mars in Libra balsamic conjunction to Pluto, Amazon in Cancer.
She did have a few scares prior to her death that had Jessi questioning whether risking her life was worth it, but once she regained her confidence following a solid run, the pure emotional rushhhh that came with it was all the confirmation that she needed to continue pushing on. If it feels right, do it, Amazon in Cancer.
Jessi has been living on the edge for many, many lifetimes, and is a Soul who has experienced multiple sudden pre-mature deaths as a result of not knowing when to 'call it a day', and taking life too fast and too far. Not only does she have South Node of Amazon in Scorpio, Uranus is retrograde in Scorpio and forming an exact square to the nodal axis. Pluto, the ruler of her South Node of Amazon as well as her Uranus rx in Scorpio (skipped step) is balsamic to Mars in Libra, another symbol for taking life to the ultimate extreme. If that wasn’t enough, her natal Saturn in Virgo is squaring Neptune rx in Sagittarius, its ruler Jupiter also in Virgo, representing the crisis' that ensued when tempting fate.
This pairing of Pluto and Mars in Libra does reflect an intentional life for her Soul to bring this extreme dynamic to fruition, not only for herself, but to spare loved ones from the grief that has occurred, time after time, as a result of her choices. Ultimately, her Uranus rx in Scorpio squaring the nodes also reflects her own shock to once again find herself (prematurely) on the ‘other side’ . You can almost feel her gasp, “OMG, I have done it again!”
“ I am not afraid to die. I am just not ready to die.” These very words point to her Soul’s unconscious memories of repeated early deaths in the past. With Amazon in Cancer, ruled by the Moon in Aquarius, along with a South Node of the Moon in Aquarius squared by its own ruler Uranus rx in Scorpio, further symbolizing the sudden, tragic, departure.
But for Jessi, some things are worth dying for, and this was one of them.
Jessi’s North Node of Amazon is in Gemini, forming a Grand Trine with her natal Moon and Mars in Libra, also sextiling her Sun in Leo. She is a natural competitor, as all Amazon warriors are, and this very special Amazon in the form of Jessie Combs became the Fastest Woman on Earth. Mission accomplished!
Highlights ~ Amazon in Cancer ♋️
1. I don’t know how to be anything other than who I am. ~ She refused to be broken or conditioned by anyone or anything. Moon in Aquarius, ruler of her Amazon in Cancer.
2. I don’t mind being a woman in a man’s world, as long as I can still be a woman in it.
3. Jessi is a CHAMPION for empowering young girls and women ~ she touches people’s hearts, male and female alike, but it was her mission to inspire the women of this world to ‘go after it’, to get a fair shake, and to do what the boys do, and to do it better.
An example of this is when she went to WyoTech and graduated at top of her class of 2300 (all men).
With Her Leo Sun and North Node of the Moon in Leo, she truly is a diamond in the rough, and a raw diamond at that, one that was never cut to reflect someone else’s idea of what made the diamond beautiful. This Leo shined right out of the womb. Her larger life purpose beyond challenging herself to chase the next adventure, was to be an inspiring force for young girls and women, teaching them through her own actions to let nothing get in the way of their passions and goals. Pluto/Mars balsamic in Libra, ruler Venus in Gemini forms an exact trine to Mars, which sextiles the North Node in Leo.
Notice also the KITE pattern seen with Neptune rx in Sagittarius at the tip of the kite, sextiling Pluto on one side and the South Node on the other, Venus in Gemini sits at the tail, This symbolizes not only Jessi reaching for a final healing as she rises above Earth’s wreckage, but also her Soul‘s wish to empower other young girls and women to follow their dreams.
When asked, “What makes you happy?”
Jessi responded, “Changing the world.” Uranus in Scorpio, squaring the Nodes, Amazon in Cancer ruler by the Moon in Aquarius.
After that fateful day of her death, Jessi’s mom ran across a young girl and her mother when she was in southeastern Oregon near where the fatal crash occurred. The young girl asked Jessi’s mom if she had heard of the female race car driver who had recently died in her successful attempt to set the world record as the fastest woman on Earth.
Jessi’s mom said, “Yes, that woman was my daughter.”
The young girl’s mother responded, “How blessed you are to know that your daughter is a LEGEND.
It is so true what they say, Legends never die!
God Speed, Amazon!
