Source Notes
Sy Scholfield quotes her on Twitter: "Yes, it's my b-day. For those astrologically inclined: I'm a TRIPLE aquarius (sun, moon, rising), w/ a scary amount of 12th house activity" (posted 30 Jan 2012) [1], "Thank you! I'm firmly GenX ('76), but I feel like I've swooped the cynicism of my own generation for the aspirational optimism of Millenials" [2], "I was born in Natchez, Mississippi" [3]. A speculative time of 7:30 AM gives this combination.
