Hillary Clinton in 2008

With President Bush's current poll numbers reaching new lows, some Democrat
hopefuls are already gearing up for the 2008 Presidential campaign. Last
week Senator Joseph Biden announced his intention to run, but most eyes are on
Hillary Clinton. A CNN/Gallup poll taken last week indicated that for the
first time a majority of Americans would vote for her if she ran.

Hillary Clinton's Moon is in Pisces (October 26, 1947; 8:00 am; Chicago),
which from a statistical perspective, does not bode well for getting
elected. None of the nation's 43 presidents were born with the Moon in Pisces,
perhaps because this placement gives a self-sacrificing personality, and sometimes
even a victim status not the kind of individual one wants for a Commander
-in-Chief.

On the other hand, the New York Senator has her Sun, Mercury, Venus, and
Ascendant in no-nonsense Scorpio, all in dynamic square to Mars, Saturn, and
Pluto in Leo. This configuration describes a powerful ambition, and an individual
who wants to leave her imprint on the world. It's reform-minded, but also
tends to attract powerful enemies.

Ten of America's 43 Presidents were born with Mars in Leo, a statistical
anomaly that far exceeds chance. Americans like the boldness, the courage,
and dramatic flair that Mars in Leo provides. Hillary Clinton's Mars in Leo
gives her an edge if she can overcome the apparent weakness of her Pisces Moon.
Currently, and over the next four months, transiting Pluto is squaring her
Moon, giving her an opportunity to transform this side of her public image into
something more marketable.

Political Astrology, the Book, Available Soon

Michael O'Reilly's book Political Astrology is in the production process,
and will be available* soon. Here's an excerpt from the Introduction: "Many
people interested in astrology are taken aback when they hear that a
horoscope can be drawn for a country. How can that be? In fact, a horoscope can be drawn up for any circumscribed entity, and is based on a birth moment in the same way astrologers erect a human's horoscope.

"That the national horoscope works in practice as well as the individual
horoscope says something about the nature of our reality. The planets have a
perceivable influence on our lives both individually and collectively, an
influence that can be monitored and used to make useful projections into the future. The current scientific model that seems to best reflect the
multi-dimensional reach of the planets is Complexity Theory and its subsidiary, fractal geometry.

"Fractals are patterns that repeat each other at multiple levels or
magnitudes of awareness. Although fractal geometry is a relatively recent
discovery, scientists and mathematicians use it to explain nature, and how similar
patterns are replicated at different scales. For example, the spiral shape found in
galaxies is similar to the spiral found in hurricanes, and in the model of
the atom.

"The non-linear dynamics, which connect these various levels of interaction,
can be diagrammed using astrological principles. Astrologically, Complexity
correlates to Aquarius since both are about networking and systems thinking.
One could say that Complexity Theory and Political Astrology are heralds of the
fledgling new Age of Aquarius."

The Bewitching Nicole Kidman

Australian beauty Nicole Kidman reigns as one of the most bankable Hollywood celebrities, with her latest film venture Bewitched opening nationwide over this past weekend. Kidman bears a remarkable resemblance to the original TV sit-com star of Bewitched, Elizabeth Montgomery, something her friends have told her since she was a child when she first learned to wiggle her nose to make strange things happen.

Nicole Kidman was born with her multi-talented Gemini Sun conjunct the people-pleasing asteroid Pallas (June 20, 1967; Honolulu, HI; time unknown). The Sun-Pallas combination in Gemini gives the Oscar-winning star plenty of charm and wit, plus a bemusing cleverness that comes across in many of her film roles. In its highest manifestation, Pallas blesses the personality with wisdom and keen perceptions.

This rather pleasant pairing is disrupted by a square to the powerful Uranus-Pluto conjunction that was in effect in the mid-1960s. Kidman's sweet Gemini planets are thereby influenced by a more revolutionary, socially outrageous tendency, giving her a quirkiness and an interest in expressing taboo subjects. This side of Kidman is dark and mysterious, and conflicts with the more bubbly Gemini Sun.

As an on-screen witch, Kidman is in her element. Her character Samantha is
outwardly friendly and attractive, but holds the secret of witchy powers.
Elizabeth Montgomery (April 15, 1933; 4:38 pm; Los Angeles) had similar
planetary influences, with her Aries Sun conjunct magnetic Venus, but also conjunct eccentric Uranus and square secretive Pluto. In both cases, the stars'
twinkling personalities conceal magical powers.
