Hillary Clinton--searching a correct horoscope

K.N.Rao.

I do not know who will be the candidatesfrom the Democratic Party for the next election of the president of USA. There is often a mention of the name of Hillary Clinton and also a wish and a hope that a woman may and can become the president of USA at least once after all !

It is because it is Asia which witnessed the rise of women to top position first, not the west. Srimavo Bandarnaike was the first woman prime minister, Indira Gandhi the second, Golda Meir the third and so many, including even Pakistan with Benazir Bhutto becoming prime minister twice. Then Bangladesh and Indonesia showed how women could rise to top political positions. Those who called Muslim countries backward and feudal were surprised. It is true ofcourse that in west Asian countries a woman may not be able to rise that high.

Quietly without shouting raucously for equal rights, women in Asia have reached top most positions in almost walks of life. A British women working for the BBC had told me as early as 1986 and I watched it with fascination and amazement. She told me after her extensive studies that Indian women had done far better than women in USA when it comes to the political rise of women.She produced some film also on it which I have not seen But an American told me that no woman in USA could become a president because of the prejudices strong Christian held.

In talking of Hillary Clinton astrologically, I have found the horoscope given to me by some friends in USA in 1994 or earlier to be correct. The time given was around 8 pm or 8.01 pm 26 October 1947.

Some well known events could be verified easily before accepting or rejecting it

Marriage

a) Hillary Clinton got married on 11/10/ 1975 in Mercury/Jupiter. In Jaiminiís Chara dasha it was Makar Meena and Moon, the darakaraka, is in Meena. In Vimshottari, it was Mercury Jupiter Mercury which leaves no doubt about it being a regular marriage and not one of Bill Clinton's much talked of violent sexual assaults. Transits of the day also confirm it with Moon in Dhanu in the seventh house of Hillary and Jupiter, in transit, aspecting her seventh lord.

Daughter

b) Her daughter ìChelseaî was born on 27 February 1980 in Ketu/Venus. Venus is the fifth lord here. In Chara dasha it was Dhanu from where Jupiter is aspecting the fifth house and Simha which is aspected by Putrakaraka. Chelseaís Moon in Karka had touched the lagna of Hillary twenty four hours before and was aspecting the fifth house of Bill Clinton whose Kanya lagna is the only correct lagna.

Education

c) She, like her husband had her education in law and also taught in a Law School. See the influence of Jupiter on the tenth house of both husband and wife along with the fifth lord in the nakhatra of Jupiter the planet of law. And when her husband Bill ran into Monica Lewinskly scandal he was running Jupiter Venus and she was running Venus Jupiter. Here the seventh lord is in the sixth giving agony her to husband , to her and to her daughter. I have discussed these periods in my book Enigmas in Astrology.

The Monica Lewinsky episode

There are many ways of verifying a horoscope. Take the planetary position of 13 August 1998 when Bill Clinton had to face the bombshell of an impeachment and see how how many planets were aspecting the eighth house from Mithuna lagna. And what an agonising scandal her husband faced. Where is the doubt of her lagna being Mithuna ? This data will be useful in comparing and examining her chances as a Democratic candidate in the next presidential election of USA. which will be fought in the dasha of Moon Ketu in the US horoscope I use. Does it show the rise of a woman I wonder. If yes, who is that woman ? Is there someone other than Hillary in the race, or visible now as a contender ?

NOTE
In the year 2001, when twenty women astrologers produced the book Famous Women giving astro-portraits of twenty famous women of the world, Shalini Dhasmana had written on Hillary after thoroughly verifying the events of her life and this birth time alone was found to be correct.
Those who can not make events based verification and argue vainly by taking up some characteristics generally go wrong because they can argue like lawyers. There is no substitute for events based verification of a horoscope.

The approach to prediction will have be based on larger and reliable data which is rarely available anywhere in the world because of which astrologers get bad name. In the last presidential elections of USA when there was some doubt about the horoscope of Kerry in the Kerry vs Bush
battle, I decided to see the horoscopes of Cheney and Edwards to arrive at a correct conclusion and predict correctly. (see my website).

It will have to be remembered also what prejudices Americans can have against a woman particularly in the wars plunged world of the Bush era with Muslim fundamentalists rearing up their heads everywhere. Will they want to trust a woman in such circumstances with Osama or his successor terrorizing the world particularly USA ?

At any rate, what are the chances of USA showing to the world that other than treating women as equaly they really mean to give opportunity to the other sex to rise politically whether it is good or not for the country nationally or internationally. Her dasha and transits can be examined then inspite of it being the mahadasha of debilitated Sun aspected by debilitated Mars.
