Hillary Clinton Overheated

The grueling presidential campaign is apparently wearing Hillary down. Twice in the last week she’s had episodes that indicate she’s physically faltering. A recent coughing fit initiated the speculation that she’s not healthy enough to run the presidency. And during Sunday’s widely attended 9/11 event, her knees buckled and she had to leave early because she felt "overheated".

 Celebrity Chart

Astrologically, the strong Neptune influence in her chart now is peaking. The 9/11 incident took place as transiting Saturn and Neptune were only 0º05’ from squaring each other, and as both aspected her natal Neptune. Geopolitically, Neptune is generally associated with scandals, and Hillary has weathered her share of those. But Neptune also has the insidious influence of dissipating one’s vitality. Many people feel like taking a vacation or retiring under such Neptune aspects.

Looking at her progressions, she currently has a progressed Sun-Mercury conjunction at 11º Capricorn, which is being squared by her progressed Moon at 11º Libra. These three planets are all within 0º03’ of being exactly aspecting each other. And they’re all aspecting her natal Neptune. However, Hillary is being propelled forward by her powerful Mars as she attempts to match Trump’s ability to endlessly insult and criticize.

Hillary’s Pisces Moon and her multi-activated Neptune are too sensitive to carry on an intense, attack-oriented campaign. Being "overheated" symbolically represents her excess Mars energy that her Pisces Moon and Neptune influences are rebelling against. An astrologer advising her under these conditions might recommend that she present a more positive, idealistic campaign to take into account Neptune’s influence. If she returns to the acerbic style, matching Trump’s rhetoric (who does not have the sensitive Neptune placements), her physical ailments will likely only increase.

Kim Jong Un Unhinged?

Recent reports have confirmed my astrological finding that North Korea’s supreme leader, Kim Jong Un, was born in 1984, not 1983 or 1982 as various intelligence agencies have stated. Following last week’s detonation of an underground nuclear test and worldwide condemnation, let’s have another look into his horoscope for an update. Is he becoming "unhinged" as South Korean leaders warn?

 Celebrity Chart

The most obvious indicator of the tyrant’s status is the Mars-Pluto conjunction near the Midheaven. This combination is renowned for use of extreme measures, and for a political leader, indicates close ties with the military. Mars-Pluto people are willing to use absolute force to get their way, even if such action goes beyond normal social or moral restraints. Authoritarian Saturn is also in the 10th house, and strongly placed by being sextile his Capricorn Sun.

The push for absolute control can be seen in transiting Pluto’s current conjunction with his Sun. The transiting Sun in Virgo trined this Pluto-Sun connection when last week’s test was conducted. Concurrently, transiting Uranus was closely trioctile (135º) his Venus, a significant activation since his Venus is conjunct Antares, a war-like first magnitude star. Venus conjoins Uranus and his South Node, and points to his unpredictable bellicose behavior.

With his progressed Mars at 14º Scorpio and nearly conjunct natal Saturn, we can be assured that Kim will continue to build his nuclear arsenal and defy international opinion. And with transiting Pluto near his Sun, his paranoia will likely become deeper. His recent banning of sarcasm is a clear sign that he’s worried about dissidents. We might expect open rebellion as soon as June 2017 when transiting Uranus opposes his Mars from his 4th house of domestic affairs.

Tom Hanks Stars as "Sully"

Last week film-goers found a gem in Clint Eastwood’s "Sully", the heroic story of the pilot who landed a crippled U.S. Airways jet on the Hudson River. The docudrama stars Tom Hanks as Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, and has been widely praised by critics, notably, for its "vigorous and involving salute to professionalism and being good at your job."

 Celebrity Chart

Tom Hanks was born with his Cancer Sun trine Mars in Pisces, and both trine Saturn in Scorpio (July 9, 1956; 11:17 am; Concord, CA), making a Water Grand Trine that emphasizes strength, reliability, and steadily building toward career goals over time. In his personal life and in his more mature roles, Hanks has come to personify the decent, upright fellow you could always count on to do the right thing.

 Celebrity Chart

With Virgo Rising, Hanks is an excellent choice for expressing the focused work ethic. Hanks’ professional reliability is akin to Sully’s (b. January 23, 1951), who was also born with his Sun trine Saturn. Both Hanks and Sully have a dramatic flair for leadership as shown by their Leo Moons. And both have Mars with multiple aspects in Pisces, showing the potential for being victimized, but emerging through intuition and following the path of the spiritual warrior.

Currently, Hanks’ progressed Sun is at 15º Virgo, where it’s being trined by transiting Pluto. This personally empowering dynamic may well bring Hanks an Oscar, and fits his portrayal of the pilot who is committed to doing his job well, even under the most stressful circumstances. Hanks’ progressed Part of Fortune is now at 23º Sagittarius, very near Sully’s Ascendant at 25º Sagittarius. With transiting Uranus now at 23º Aries, we have the perfect synchronization between the two celebrities and astrology.
