Sand, like Michela Murgia, you come into the world with the Sun in Gemini conjunct Saturn, you wake up suspended between joy of living and a state of alert: in her case linked to a violent father who soon forced her to deal with pain.
Born in Cabras, Sardinia, at 18 her mother, to protect her and her brother, took them away from home “in their pajamas”. The choice to stay with her maternal aunt marks the beginning of the transformation.
The Moon in Aquarius is a yearning for freedom. Mars and Venus in Cancer free feelings from the traditional model: Murgia remains the daughter of two mothers, the biological one, “a warrior”, and the more conservative aunt, learning to inhabit different female identities. From Sardinia to the Stelvio he carries out many jobs: administrator, telephone operator, religious teacher. «Escape saves, opens doors».

Four soul children of which Raphael is the youngest.
Marrying Lorenzo Terenzi before dying is a political choicethe wedding ring is a frog ready to jump: a symbol of transformation. The queer family is a jus of the will, not of blood: “I’ll take care of it” is worth more than “I love you”. From The world needs to know (2006) a Three bowls (2023), Murgia transforms pain into a joy devoid of rhetoric, moving from the couple to multi-parenthood: an extraordinary sentimental and social revolution.
