"The drive of it, I’m not going to stop, I’m just going to get up and keep going is the same as a mom. I’m tired this morning, but I still got to drive to school and I still got to make the lunches. It’s that same things that moms have and I really noticed that mental comparison and I think that’s what got me across the finish line."
Teri has a grouping of planets in her chart that reveal what a powerhouse she can be. Uranus, Mars and Pluto are all crammed in together in the sign of Virgo, in her 2nd house, revealing that she has an incredible hunger to best herself on a constant basis, not out of competitiveness, but out of a desire to prove to herself that she's got what it takes. These three planets are also in a trine to her Jupiter in Taurus in her 10th house, so not only does she know that she's got to push herself to get better in anything she does, but she has probably learned over time that her tenacity (Taurus) can help her reach her potential (Jupiter), if she's willing to continually inest in herself (2nd house).
Teri also said that it was her daughter, Emerson, who told her she should shoot for winning! That's not surprising, since Emerson's Jupiter lands in the same place as Teri's Moon. When two people connect, their charts connect as well. Since Emerson's Jupiter, the planet of enthusiasm and encouragement, lands on Teri's Moon, the planet that represents the heart, she can be a real boost in the arm for Teri any time she's feeling down or like she's not doing a good enough job, just like a good coach can encourage a team to greatness. Likewise, Teri's Uranus, Mars, and Pluto land right on Emerson's north node, so Teri's drive toward self-improvement is a great example for Emerson to see first hand what it really takes to reach your goals.
Sounds like they were made for each other!
