Politics 29:     Hillary Rodham Clinton 1947- U.S. Senator from New York, 2000 -   Democratic Candidate for USA President, 2008 Note on time of birth: Because celebrity birth data are often suppressed or fabricated, all speculation is necessarily tentative. The widely used 8 p.m. birth time does provide an acceptable Vimshottari timeline of major events in her life thus far. The Jyotisha analysis below is offered as an interesting Vimshottari prediction exercise which may or may not be based on a confirmed birth time! Analysis of Key Jyotisha Factors re: Hillary's 2008 campaign Democratic Nomination Prediction Compare to other Mithuna-lagna leaders: Arnold Schwartzenegger Nelson Mandela Shri Aurobindo Kofi Annan Fidel Castro Theodore Roosevelt Dominant House Lords (D-1 and D-9): Hillary Rodham Clinton The Seven rashi-owning graha Extra credit for being D-1 or D-9:  - lagnesha - lord of Chandra # of planets in His rashi, in radix (including Rahu/Ketu) # of graha in His rashi, in navamsha (including Rahu/Ketu) Total Sun - Moon  1 2 2 5 Mars  0 2 0 2 Mercury 1 0 2 3 Jupiter   2 1 2 5 Venus 0 4 1 5 Saturn  0 0 2 2 totals 4 9 9 22 Dominant lords of Career lagnas (D-1, D-9 & D-10):  Hillary Rodham Clinton This weighting includes dashamsha.  Grahas which play a dominant role in the personality AND also own key lagnas in the D-1, D-9, and D-10 will strengthen and direct the career.   (If the strong personality grahas do not show up in the career lagnas, the career will be modest.) Primary career lagnas 1 Lord of the Navamsha of Radix L-10 - observe how He behaves in radix Budha 2 Lord of the Dashamsha of Radix L-10 - observe how He behaves in radix Budha 3 Lord of 10th Navamsha  - observe how He behaves in radix Budha 4 Lord of 10th Dashamsha - observe how He behaves in radix Shukra 5 Lord of Dashamsha lagna (ascendant) Surya Secondary career lagnas  6 Lord of radix Karmaa Bhava Guru 7 Grahas which occupy Karmaa Bhava Chandra 8 Lord of Yuvati bhava (10th-from-10th) Guru 9 Lord of 10th-from-Chandra Guru 10 Lord of Surya Shukra Personal lords are well-balanced Hillary's dominant house lords are: the 2 natural benefics: Shukra & Guru neechha Surya: apparently receiving neechha bhanga due to Surya's association with swakshetra Shukra & lagnesha Budha in a bhagya house. Career lords are highly auspicious.  Career lagnas are dominated by: 3 occupants of domain-5 = children & politics Guru = karaka for children.  Maternal-child well-being has been Hillary's raison d'être since the beginning of her public career. Achilles Heels in the Jyotisha main charts include: Hillary's neechha Kuja with Shani in domain-2 for speech and values. Angry, passive-aggressive, or emotional outburst type of speech may result L-7 Guru/Ketu occupying domain-6 = conflict, lack of ability to achieve & maintain a lasting agreement with the spouse.  There are numerous beneficial compensations for the malefic effects of L-7 in domain 6. Guru = lord of navamsha. Navamsha lagna Dhanau is strong due to Surya there. Guru gives results of lagnesha Budha from navamsha. However the marital confusion caused by lack of steady commitment from the spouse & the native's own natural detachment (Ketu) from marital conflict means that when marriage problems arise, they are not addressed directly but rather ignored. The spouse is free to explore the great entitlements of Guru.  L-8/L-9 - Shani Mahadasha, age 0-15   A period of moral & religious development, focus on divine mystery   L-1/L-4 - Budha Mahadasha, age 15-32   A period of social identity development and formal education   Budha/Surya period: June-1969: grad Wellesley College, nationally noticed commencement speech Surya = probable lord of Dashamsha - significator of leadership & professional dignity Putra bhava for children contains: L-3 Surya for administration & teamwork L-5/L-12 swakshetra Shukra for politics and sanctuary/protection/loss of identity (children lack adult identity); also L-12 = behind-the-scenes negotiations lagnesha/L-4 Budha = native's social identity & appearance, plus L-4 = early childhood, socializing education (levels K-16), & the home Budha/Rahu period: Jun-1973: grad Yale Law School:  begin promising Washington D.C. legal & policy career with Children's Defense Fund Rahu is a powerful influence for intense career moves in Hillary's life. Rahu encourages *risk-taking* Rahu's role is to amplify the effects of His lord Shukra.  Shukra is very auspiciously located in swakshetra in the bhagya house, putra bhava, which is the domain of politics and children  Rahu can be a terrible malefic if Rahu exaggerates the passion for political power However Rahu in domain-12 often gives a deep meditative spirituality, a passion for world travel, & a tendency toward being somewhat "combustible" in marital conflict (domain-12 is 6th-from-marriage house = private fights). Also many private dealings with foreign interests, which are not publicly known Das / Behari regarding Rahu in the second padaa of Krittika: "You are inclined to spiritualism. Suffers loss of wealth and children. Has more than one companion. Earns your livelihood in foreign lands. Leads a life of begging." Das / Behari regarding Rahu/Vrishabha/12: "... an idealist, willing to sacrifice your comforts and other resources for the fulfillment of an objective."  Budha/Guru period: 11-Oct-1975 - marriage to Bill Clinton Rahu-Ketu transit Dhanau-Mithuna = D-1 lagna = D-9 lagna Budha/Shani period: husband Bill Clinton wins election for governor of Arkansas Shani = 10th-from-Budha, favorable for leadership & public service Clinton's law career and professorship are successful during this period Shani = L-8 for confidential dealings (law, estates, trusts, professional confidentiality); L-9 lord of Arudha Lagna, beneficial for positive public image esp re: religion & moral character the final bhukti of 17-year Budha mahadasha is a "closure" period, during which one typically assesses what worked during the mahadasha, and what didn't. One of the things that may have seemed unworkable - despite her excellent preparation for it -- was having her own dominant public career. Instead she married a charismatic politician who needed her support.  Ketu Mahadasha, age 32-39   A period of relative detachment; focus on service to spouse & children   Ketu period signals 7-years of relative professional retreat, the spouse's needs will dominate (Guru = L-7, lord of navamsha), a talented & gifted person needing to work along the path of least resistance, and unresolved marital conflict expressed through verbal fights (neechha Kuja/2). Ketu/Ketu period: First Lady of Arkansas,  Jan-1979–Jan-1981 childbirth: 2-Feb-1980 = childbirth Ketu amplifies Guru, karaka for children Ketu/Rahu period: Against high odds, Bill Clinton wins re-election to governorship of Arkansas L-5/L-12 - Shukra Mahadasha, age 39-59   A period of creative speculation, building political partnerships, interior prayer & foreign travel   Shukra/Shukra period: L-5 = fame, in domain-5 = fame; Shukra creates celebrity Hillary starts to appear frequently in the national media Shukra/L-2 Chandra period: 1992 - Intensive competitive aggressive campaigning (lots of speeches!)  Nov-1992 - Bill Clinton wins US presidential election (USA presidency of husband Bill Clinton = Jan-1993 to Jan-2001) Shukra/L-6/L-11 Kuja period: Begin Bill Clinton presidency on basis of "two for the price of one" - Hillary's expertise in health care reform put to the task of building a national health care system death of father, in period of Mars = lord of 2nd-from-Surya 1993-1994, high-profile, high-conflict and catastrophically dysfunctional work on "Task Force on National Health Care Reform" ("Hillarycare") L-6 neechha Kuja = medicine, the underclass, and social conflict; plus emotionally distraught or passive-aggressive speech; & abundant enemies!  Shukra/Rahu period: 1996, campaigning vigorously & successfully for her husband's political re-election Rahu amplifies Shukra, lord of domain-5 for speculation & politics publication of the highly successful book on international family health care, "It Takes a Village"  Rahu amplifies Shukra, lord of domain-5 for literary authorship & publication Shukra's power at a lifetime high point. Public image = capable, intelligent, female. Hillary gaining dramatic potential to gain the USA presidency. Shukra/L-7/L-11 Guru period: 1998 - Lewinsky scandal  L-7 Guru = lord of navamsha = husband's behavior. Guru occupies domain-6 yuti Ketu. Animosity, embarrassment; Guru is generous; husband asks forgiveness. Public evaluation of Hillary's moral conduct is overall favorable although she is also perceived as emotionally cold, perhaps not sexually available to her husband, and volatile in private. Grahas occupying or ruling domain-6 are always troublesome; yuti Ketu, the tendency to ignore or detach from conflict is dangerously amplified Shukra/L-8/L-9 Shani period: elected US Senator from New York State - Nov-2000 period of L-8 for transformation of identity, L-9 for extraordinary good fortune domain-9 = the Arudha Lagna, showing Public Perception of Hillary as a moral thinker L-3 - Surya Mahadasha, age 59-65   A period of business administration & political teamwork   Surya period empowers Hillary's network of business & political partnerships   Surya/Rahu period: 2008 campaign for Democratic party nomination for president national election = Nov-2008 Rahu encourages risk taking/gambling (political elections = gambling) Rahu gives high success through benefits of teamwork and network of partnerships Compare to previous Rahu periods where prospects seem "unlikely" or very highly speculative -- but risk-taking pays off, and Hillary achieves her political goal: Budha/Rahu - young female attorney Hillary begins promising political career in Washington D.C., is tapped by Democratic talent managers Budha-Rahu at unfavorable 6/8 angle - brings enemies & conflict both Budha & Rahu ruled by the politically excellent Swakshetra Shukra Ketu/Rahu - successful campaign for underdog Bill Clinton governor of Arkansas Rahu-Ketu at the favorable 1/7 angle (naturally) - brings cooperation & balance Rahu-Ketu periods are psychically intense, famed for upsets and windfalls lords are Shukra-Kuja, for marriage & competition Shukra/Rahu, vigorously campaigning for her husband's 1996 presidential re-election. It was considered a difficult and uncertain race, even for the incumbent. Jyotisha Prediction Factors:   Dashamsha considerations: Surya = presumed lord of Dashamsha.  Surya can have great power to propel the native into high public office Surya-Rahu = unfavorable 6/8 angle in the radix chart - brings enemies & conflict (this same unfavorable 6/8 angle affected her Budha-Rahu and Shukra-Rahu periods) both Surya & Rahu = ruled by the politically excellent Swakshetra Shukra gochara Rahu-Ketu: gochara Ketu-Rahu are crossing the presumed D-10 lagna during Oct-2006 until Apr-2008 18 months of Ketu contact with D-10 lagna from Oct-2006 until Apr-2008 = negative, indirect, confusing, withdrawn energy of reserved competence. Hillary has significant spiritual uncertainty about her social destiny, with issues of social class imbalance likely obscuring her view of the future. Ambivalence re: competing directly with a gifted and appropriate Black male candidate can cripple her clear & direct communication with the public. gochara Ketu-Rahu will cross Karkata-Makara axis from late Apr-2008 until Oct-2009 gochara Ketu-Rahu crossing Karkata-Makara axis = contact with D-10 nodal axis = empowering radical change through desire (the core function of transiting nodes) from late Apr-2008 until Oct-2009 expect Hillary's campaign to become more passionately invigorated as Rahu moves into the Dashamsha cluster of Rahu-Surya-Chandra in D-10 When gochara Ketu moves into Karka rashi, Hillary's unstable Kuja/Shani combination in domain-2 for speech is also toned down by Ketu's detachment Navamsha/ true self/ spouse: Surya is well positioned in Dhanau lagna of D-9. Surya gives the effect of L-7/L-10 Guru from the navamsha The spouse is positive, optimistic, and capable the spouse supports her political ambitions Neechha Surya: Neechha Surya = karaka for career politics as a neechha graha, Surya has certain special problems that neither Budha nor Shukra have the practical effect of neechha planets is lack of confidence Surya's neechha status makes the 6/8 Surya-Rahu period is particularly problematic the neechha problems may be corrected significantly by Shukra's auspicious status but normally a neechha graha must occupy a kendra AND its lord must be uccha or swakshetra in order to achieve neechha banga  Das / Behari : "You may be deprived of children: even if you do have a child it will not bring happiness. You may suffer from despondency, a sense of inferiority, and bad habits, though an interest in administration, mathematics, social organization, psychoanalysis or literature will help add a positive tone." All things considered ... Hillary's Rahu periods have historically brought professional & political success through risk-taking & arranging many, detailed, political partnerships periods of L-3 Surya are not as easily beneficial as periods of L-1/L-4 Budha or L-5/L-12 Shukra however, L-3 favors communications media - the 2008 election gives her maximum public media exposure Surya is dominated in degree by Budha & Shukra, therefore Surya will most likely provide all the benefits of Budha & Shukra, albeit indirectly via supportive help from others in her very large network of political partnerships, and with the occasional moments of low confidence created by Surya's neechha character So long as Hillary's Kuja/Guru are not creating interference from agents of animosity and greed (as in her Shukra/Kuja period), she can be expected to continue a lifetime of political successes. Watch sub-periods of Kuja for inflammatory remarks and verbal missteps which engender longer-term hurt feelings Prediction for 2008 campaign for Democratic nomination in the period of Surya/Rahu: Caveat: the birth time is not confirmed Rahu excites the passions Surya shows job experience Rahu bhukti empowers all gochara movements of Rahu When Rahu enters Makara and contacts Hillary's dashamsha Surya, Hillary will emanate common sense, job experience, traditional values, and measured, reformist change Rahu will bring Hillary the democratic nomination due to her ability to infuse policy discussions with intelligence and balance, teamed with international support (Rahu/12) and extraordinarily effective campaign administration (L-3) Hillary is all about balance and equality. Obama may well accept Hillary's invitation to join her on a racially balanced ticket, as the vice-presidential candidate.    L-2 - Chandra Mahadasha, age 65-75   A period of wealth development and investment in historic family values (Also one of the windows for death, possibly by drowning.)     L-6/L-11 - Kuja Mahadasha, age 75-82   A period of animosity, health issues, social conflict and marketplace gainfulness     Rahu Mahadasha, age 82-100
