Star Signs Over the White House

Hillary Clinton (10/26/47) Someone once said that Hillary Clinton has “alternately fascinated, bedeviled, bewitched, and appalled Americans." To that I say, yeah, just like every other powerful Scorpio woman. Clinton is one of the more complex and misunderstood energies of all sun signs. In fact, this sign has three symbols -- the scorpion, phoenix, and eagle, alluding to her multidimensionality. Each is intrinsically tied to the others, symbolizing growth phases of personal mastery. Perhaps there's no symbol more compelling than the phoenix, the bird that periodically dies and rises from the ashes. And since she’s lived many (or at least three) different lives in this one, radical reinvention is Hillary's nature -- which bodes well for a public that wants nothing less than total, definitive change. Her chart is striking in another way: The majority of her planets are in the fixed signs of Scorpio and Leo. "Fixed" describes energy. Fixed-sign people carry energy similar to the hub of a moving wheel; they are the centralizing force, the unyielding, stable center. Hillary's focus and determination are obvious. If she becomes the first woman to win the presidency, she'll reinvent the wheel in more ways than one. Other Scorpio presidents: John Adams, James Garfield, Warren G. Harding, James Polk, Theodore Roosevelt.
