A New Look at the Candidates!
Hillary Clinton is an amazing woman, with an amazing chart. You might say that she was born to change government. To some extent she already has, being the first woman to run for President! This is represented in her chart by 3 planets (Mars, Pluto and Saturn) all in her 9th house ruling Government. She is a workhorse with her eye on the goal at hand, and will do what it takes to accomplish her goals. Hillary was born on October 26, 1947, at 8:02 AM according to documents published on the Internet. That makes her a Scorpio, with a Scorpio ascendant.
In terms of what's happening in her chart, there's no doubt it's been tough going with Saturn squaring her Jupiter at 1 degree. This represents a 'money issue.' It first surfaced in September, and has been there since mid-April, when things took a turn for the worse in her campaign .According to what she says on national TV she has already had to loan her campaign millions of dollars, and I don't doubt of a second that money is a primary issue. Jupiter also represents trouble relating to a 'younger man,' and there is little doubt who the chart is referring to in this instance!
However, if she can just make it through May, she still stands a chance.
The next major aspect coming up in her chart is Uranus conjunct her moon (based on her published time of birth being correct) This means times are changing in a big way with Hillary, and with Uranus we can expect the unexpected.. Which way will it go--it's hard to know with Uranus, the planet of unexpected surprise. The transit lasts through August. This may also represent problems relating to women, or some particular woman associated with the campaign, or her personal life. But with Jupiter trining her moon in hr 5th house she can count on the support of female friends, and of course, her loyal daughter.
Today, Hillary has a Mars trine her Jupiter, a great aspect to have on a Primary election. It is considered lucky.
Barack Obama's chart is full of unexpected events, as well. As Hillary's chart is full of surprise, so is his. According to published research he was born August 4, 1961 at 1:06PM. This makes him a Leo with a Scorpio ascendant. He was born with Uranus in his 10th house, meaning he would have a very unusual career. Uranus also represents governments and the very theme of his campaign, CHANGE. He is a natural born speaker, and with Neptune in his 12th house, I bet he operates off 'hunches.' He may even have his own brand of 'psychic ability.' With Jupiter in Aquarius, no doubt he is a true humanitarian. There are 2 major transits going on in his chart at this time. The first is Pluto opposing Venus. What a life altering transit--this has to do with values, and which values do we hold most dear. If I look at it from his first house Leo Sun, I believe it would represent 'secret enemies' who chose to remain hidden. If I look at him as a Scorpio ascendent, this puts the Pluto-Venus in his 8th house-money, OPM, sex, and change and transformation.The 8th house can also represent death, and money issues , as well.
Neither Democratic candidate has a smooth ride. Obama's chart also has a Uranus transit prominent in his chart, becoming exact at the same time as Hillary's..to be specific. On May 17, Uranus opposes Mars in his chart, the harbinger of surprising and upsetting events. It is in his 5th-11th houses representing friends, children, love affairs and hopes and wishes. Uranus-Mars also represents the possibility of accidents, violence, and is always an upsetting and agitating time. In my opinion, Obama is is a very dangerous time that could be indicative of an accident or God forbid, voilence. We saw the beginning of this transit with the events surrounding his former pastor, whom he has since denounced. He better hang on to his hat, as the ride is only starting.
Both candidates will be experiencing jolting events with Uranus in their charts. At this time, I see a world of problems and dilemmas for both candidates, with unexpected twists and turns. But, as John Lennon once said, "problems are made to be solved." Next, I'll take a look at John McCain..Stay turned..
