BILL CLINTON HOROSCOPE
HERE
By Margaret Penner

1)
What
third of Clinton’s life is the most fortuitous?
To
examine the apportions of life we look to the Ascendant and its three trip
rulers. In Mr. Clinton’s chart he has Libra Rising. The Air sign trip rulers of
the ascendant in his diurnal chart are as follows: Saturn (first third of life), Mercury
(second third of life), and Jupiter (last third of
life).
In
It also sextiles Venus, ruler of the Ascendant. Mercury ruling the
second portion of Life has the most dignity, therefore from the years of 25-30
to about 50-60 would be
2)
Can
he be a negotiator and make compromises?
Negotiations
skills come under the third trip ruler of the Fourth House. In this chart
Capricorn lies on the cusp with the three rulers of Venus, Moon, and Mars. Here
Mars is badly placed in Libra: “Mars in sect falling in the house of
Venus…receive gifts and thanks from powerful women; they become cupidinous,
flattering, libidinous weaklings, and they profit from friends, and from the
aforesaid things, or from perverse women…”[1]
Its
angular placement and conjunction with its ruler Venus strengthens it
considerably, as does its nocturnal position under the horizon.
Mars
also makes a sextile to a very strong Mercury, allowing him good communication
skills. However, the detriment of Libra makes his judgement questionable, as
well as his motivation for making the compromises he does.
Conjunct with
Venus, this Mars is much too invested in a smooth path for its own sake, losing
the masculine forward thrust of the pioneer, in favour of one which keeps
everything ‘nice’ and serving a powerful libido. Libra of course does provide
for negotiation skills and compromise.
A strongly Venusian Mars leading
the negotiations brings to the handshaking and baby-kissing role a charming
charisma. Compromise would appear to come easily, the operative word being
“appear.” His own libidinous agenda is the one that is always underlying his
actions, however.
3)
Does he gain the rewards of his hard
labour?
The
Sixth House cusp is the place to look. The third trip ruler, here, the Moon in
Taurus, indicates hard labour. This Moon is placed in the Eighth House and out
of sect. With its square to the Sun and considering the above factors, the Moon
does not indicate that “favours from women” are going to be without grief.
The Moon also rules the MC that bodes trouble for public aspects of his
career, built from his labours. Where he has money (Taurus) and women involved
together will bring trouble---Rob Hand suggests Whitewater evolved from this
Moon.[2]
4)
Do
his employees benefit him?
Here
we look to the Sixth House again and to the second trip ruler of servants and
employees. Pisces on the cusp gives the trip rulers as Venus, Mars and
Moon. A detrimental Mars in Libra
rules this particular part of life.
As stated above in the Liber Hermetis, Mars in the house of Venus can
bring “favours from women.” One gets the impression of someone who can use the
people under him for fun and profit.
Sensual pleasures can come easily
from such, provided by the people who work as underlings. However, as a leader
of a group of peoples all working for the same aim (to move him into power and
keep him there) his Mars is not decisive. He would appear weak and at the mercy
of feminine forces.
5)
Are
his ventures successful?
The
success of one’s ventures falls under the auspices of the third trip ruler of
the Eleventh House, in this case, Saturn in Leo. This Saturn is a mixed
blessing, being in detriment, but also is angular and in sect. Saturn conjuncts
a very strong Mercury and sextiles both Mars and the Ascendant. Bonatti [3]
makes an interesting point: the first trip ruler of the Eleventh House signifies
Faith, and the second, Friends.
The success of one’s ventures is built
on the success of Faith and Friends (as Bernadette Brady puts it, “Faith in
one’s Friends can lead to Success in one’s ventures”). The trip ruler for Faith
in this chart is the Sun in Leo, and Jupiter in Libra rules Friends. The Sun
here is strong, and it can be easily imagined that
The faith that others put into him was likely just as strong. Jupiter is
out of sect but angular, sextiling the Sun and trining the Part of Fortune in
the Ninth House. With this set-up
there is possibly a fickle approach to friendship, where all is fine while he is
on track to get what he wants. The detrimental Saturn indicates that success
through Faith and Friendship is not necessarily a given outcome. His reputation
might suffer through his misguided faith in the people around him.
However, the conjunction to the excellent Mercury ensures that somehow
he can talk his way out of the stickiest situations. On the whole his ventures
are successful, with the failures impacting most strongly on his family and
romantic escapades (Saturn ruling the Fourth and Fifth House
cusps).
6)
What
sort of leadership skills does he have?
The
Tenth House and its second trip ruler denote leadership skills. With Cancer on the cusp, Mars in Libra
again rules this area of life. This is unfortunate, because of all the Mars
placements this is the “dither-er,” dependent on other’s opinions and constantly
weighing the fine points of an issue back and forth.
His leadership
style would probably work best in a one-to-one type interaction. It is the areas
of diplomacy in which Mr. Clinton would work best. In the position of leader of
the land, the man himself did not inspire the kind of confidence that a rawer
Mars could. Not only that, but its detriment weakens the integrity of the
planet, perhaps encouraging corruption.
As a third factor, its ruler,
Venus, makes a close square to the MC. This suggests that Venusian issues will
undo his public self, which of course was the case. In the end he was a leader
who became a laughing-stock. His legacy remains to be seen, but at this point it
lacks the impressive respect that one would expect to receive from reaching such
a high position.
7)
Does
his need for sensual pleasures get met? What are these
pleasures?
The
second triplicity ruler of the Fifth House determines the state of sensual
pleasures. Aquarius on the cusp means Mercury in Leo oversees this area. Mercury
is in Hayz, being in the diurnal sect, a diurnal sign, and rising ahead of the
Sun. So to answer whether he gets his sensual needs met---oh boy does he ever!
One could see this Mercury as a Smooth Operator, able to turn on the wattage
when necessary.
As to what those pleasures might be, Mercury ruling that
area suggests the mental pleasures of flirting, or conversations spiced with
sexual innuendo. The Leo influence could lead to anything from desire for
heightened situations filled with drama, to the pleasure of making and watching
his own personal pornographic videos, where he is the Star. (I can’t comment on the goings-on
between Clinton and Monica Lewinsky since I did not follow the ensuing scandal,
and have no wish to know the details).
The Liber Astronomae says of
Mercury, “…the Mercurial man is more diligent toward lovers than toward wives,
and he will more gladly cling to them.” This appears to be true. Bonatti also
states “…Mercury signifies assessment and thinking about the love of God as much
as it is according to the native’s own conscience; although otherwise he may be
wanton in things that are not permitted.”[4]
He is a Baptist who had a scandalous affair with a young Jewish woman, which is
perhaps the kink indicated by the above
passage.
8)
Is
he stable in his status and job?
The
third trip ruler of the Tenth House determines the state of stability of one’s
status and job. In this chart with
Cancer on the MC, the Moon in Taurus is the determining factor. The best thing
about this Moon is that it is exalted. In the Eighth House and square the Sun
are signs the Moon is going to present difficulties, perhaps through women.
Stability itself is not something typically associated with the Moon; however,
Taurus lends fixidity and the magnetizing of resources.
All in all,
there are indications of crisis threatening job and status; there is also some
suggestion that the Venus-ruled Moon gives some stability. In fact he did have a
rather long term in office, prolonging his stay in power to the maximum
length.
9)
If
he enters into conflict, what is generally the
outcome?
Conflicts have to do with relationships and so the Seventh House comes
into the question, with conflicts specifically indicated by the second trip
ruler. This ruler is Jupiter in Libra in the first house. It is out of sect
although placed in a masculine sign that helps somewhat.
A very positive
sextile to the dignified Sun in Leo warms this Jupiter up. Its position right
below the horizon (with its ruler preceding it upwards) indicates a Jupiter
still to rise and join the Sun in the diurnal sect.
But rise it will,
eventually. Jupiter is also the exalted ruler of the MC, and trines both the
north node and the Part of Fortune. From these factors it can be determined that
the outcome of conflicts is generally positive for Mr. Clinton.
10)
Does
he have good intuition?
The
third trip ruler of the Ninth House indicates wisdom and seeing into the future.
Mr. Clinton’s Jupiter in Libra is the ruler of this sphere of life and as seen
above, the Jupiter is quite well placed with the exception of being out of
sect.
This last factor may
affect the reliability of his intuition. The placement of Jupiter in Libra could
help him to read people however, and help the intuitive process especially in
conflict situations.
11)
What,
if anything, does he work at with little
reward?
The Twelfth House second trip ruler of labours seems the best candidate for this. Virgo is on the cusp,
consequently the Moon in Taurus rules this area. According to Bernadette Brady,
“Enemies cause Hard Labour” and so in this case it is Mr. Clinton’s Venus in
Libra that indicates the “Enemies” in question. It is interesting to note that
both Venus and the Moon are Venus ruled.
Venus is in its detriment in the
signs on the Seventh and Second House cusps, while the Moon is in detriment in
the sign on the Fourth House cusp. Venus is in Fall in the sign of the Twelfth,
while the Moon is in Fall in the sign of the Second House. There are strong
indications that relationships with women use everything he has got.
Unconsciously sought and maintained from the continuous drawing of his
inner resources, these relationships devastate those nearest and supposedly
dearest to him---his family and partner. In other words, he is running to stand
still.
Mars in detriment is the final trip ruler of this triad,
indicating the collective that performs the hard labour brought about by the
enemies. Perhaps it is unconscious anger, which drives him to pursue sexual
affection instead of other, loftier forms of relating.
