Campaign 2000: A Woman President?
As reported here last week, the Gender Wars have totally
paralyzed Washington: the Republican Congress has passed
only one piece of legislation so far this year (renaming the
Washington National Airport to honor Ronald Reagan),
and Clinton is retreating from his domestic troubles by
traveling to Africa. As the men posture and strategize, the
women are gathering strength for a political revolution: a
woman for President in the year 2000 election.
The Moon in a political horoscope usually refers to the
receptive, security-oriented nature of the people, but can
also symbolize women in general. In the Scorpio Rising
U.S. chart, the Moon is located at 25 degrees Aquarius. Bill
Clinton’s Sun at 26 degrees Leo shows how he is
astrologically tuned to favorably sway public opinion in
spite of a long chain of scandals that would have toppled
most any other politician.
One powerful forecasting tool used by astrologers is called
progressions. By advancing the U.S. horoscope to the
election year 2000 (according to the progression formula
that one day equals one year), an amazing alignment
appears: the progressed Sun will be right on the Aquarius
Moon, an astrological occurrence that has never happened
before. The Sun, representing political leadership, is
aligning with the Moon, representing the nation’s women.
The inevitable forecast is that we will see the first serious
candidacy of a woman for President.
Juno, the Avenging Asteroid
President Clinton’s alleged episodes of sexual harassment
has opened a national dialogue about power and gender in
the workplace. Ironically, with all Clinton has done for the
women’s movement, he would have been the perfect
President to lead this dialogue, much as he initiated
discussions on race relations.
Astrologically, the discussion is heating up under the
influence of Saturn which is now activating the U.S.
Chiron-Juno axis (at 20 degrees Aries-Libra). Following
many months of retrograde motion, Saturn is returning to
this degree zone which it last activated in July and August
1997. The issues prominent in the news then are returning
now for closure.
Back in July and August 1997 the tobacco settlement was
almost completed (Chiron is in the nation’s sixth house of
public health, according to the Scorpio Rising horoscope
for the U.S.*). Once again Congress is poised to regulate
tobacco by imposing a large federal tax, and negotiating a
global class action lawsuit.
The U.S. Chiron-Juno axis happens to be one of the most
dangerous degree zones in the American horoscope. Last
July recall that crazed killer Andrew Cunanan murdered
fashion designer Gianni Versace precisely as Saturn turned
retrograde right on the U.S. Chiron-Juno axis. Over the
next ten days a similar line-up threatens to disrupt domestic
tranquillity.
We have already seen the flare-up of the so-called Army of
God terrorist group near Atlanta, which has targeted
abortion clinics, gay bars, and the Olympics. Curiously, the
terrifying tornado that touched down in Gainesville, GA
last Friday (at 6:30 PM) occurred precisely as Juno was
rising. Juno is the avenging asteroid associated with justice
and women’s rights, but also referred to as the Storm
Goddess.
Primary Colors’ John Travolta
When the anonymously written political novel Primary
Colors first appeared, Washington was abuzz in speculation
about which insider betrayed Clinton with this acrid satire.
Now the movie version is out, and stars John Travolta, but
the spin masters at the White House managed to water
down the story’s toxic tone by appealing to Travolta’s
devotion to Scientology.
John Travolta extends America’s love affair with Aquarian
film stars (b. February 18, 1954; 2:53 PM; Englewood, NJ).
His early successes with Grease and Saturday Night Fever
highlight his sex appeal and dancing agility (reflecting his
Venus in fancy-footwork Pisces, and energized by a
restless, enthusiastic Mars in Sagittarius).
Travolta’s career went into a long decline in the 1980s,**
but miraculously recovered with Look Who’s Talking, and
then the spectacular Pulp Fiction. The Sun opposite Pluto
astrologically describes this death and rebirth cycle, which
can be so painful when in the disintegration cycle, but
gloriously successful during the Comeback phase.
Travolta’s Sun-Pluto axis fits right on Clinton’s Leo Sun
and the USA Aquarius Moon.
Primary Colors may be Travolta’s most important role.
During the filming transiting Pluto was crossing over his
crusading Mars in Sagittarius (and he experienced a rare
progressed new Moon right on his Aries Midheaven). The
movie version highlights Clinton’s lofty idealism and clears
him of moral corruption. Look for more on this story when
Pluto returns to Travolta’s Mars this coming August.

cycle as first described by astrologer Grant Lewi.
