NewsScope for August 3, 1998

Cosmic Tsunami Threatens Clinton’s Standing
President Clinton, still riding high in public opinion polls,
pledged to tell the truth when he testifies on August 17.
The FBI meanwhile is testing a blue cocktail dress for
Presidential stains, a key piece of evidence provided by
Monica Lewinski’s mother.
Astrologically, the month of August brings momentous
shifts in planetary conditions, including two eclipses that
strike at the First Family’s horoscopes. At the top of the list
is the Solar Eclipse scheduled for August 21 which takes
place very near the President’s Leo Sun. Eclipses of this
magnitude of precision are known to trigger sudden and
spectacular falls from grace.
The Republican-controlled Congress, however, is not
anxious to see Clinton resign. The political calculus
reasons that Al Gore moving into the White House would
strengthen his position for the 2000 campaign. The
pressure for Clinton would more likely come from his own
family, which once again must deal with his betrayal.
Chelsea (Feb. 27, 1980; 11:24 PM; Little Rock) has her
Pisces Sun located at precisely the same place as the U.S.
Ceres. Ceres, the asteroid symbolizing the parent-child
relationship, finds Chelsea as the perfect agent to represent
the stressful parent-child dynamic in our society. As
transiting Pluto squares Chelsea’s Sun, it also squares the
U.S. Ceres, and parents everywhere are wondering how to
explain Bill Clinton’s sexual activities.
Clinton-Starr Duel at High Noon
Bill Clinton’s all-time favorite movie is High Noon. In this
Western Gary Cooper plays a brave sheriff who must
single-handedly protect a cowardly town against a gang of
gunslingers. Clinton’s High Noon is closing in on him, as
major planetary conditions reach a climax this month.
Astrologically, high noon is represented by the Midheaven
in the horoscope. The most important, fateful events take
place when the Midheaven is under major planetary
activity. The United States Midheaven, located at 16
degrees Leo*, will be hit by a Lunar Eclipse on August 7
(at 10:10 pm EDT), followed by Mercury turning direct on
the Midheaven on August 23.
Historically, many of this country’s most significant turning
points happened when this Midheaven was activated. The
Sun alone is a final release to other heavier planets, so that
August 6-8 is generally a destiny-filled date. Nixon
resigned on August 8, 1974 as the Sun passed over the U.S.
Midheaven. A Solar Eclipse occurred here on August 6,
1990 when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. The first
atomic bomb was dropped on a civilian population on
August 6, 1945. On August 7, 1965 Congress passed the
Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which formally initiated the
Vietnam War.
Monica Lewinski will likely begin her testimony before
Kenneth Starr’s Grand Jury this coming week. She appears
as the Sun crosses the United States Midheaven. Later in
the month Mercury will be at a full stop right on the U.S.
Midheaven when Clinton’s video testimony is completed,
and likely leaked to the public.
Hillary’s Brave Face
Hillary Clinton introduced her husband at a posh dinner
last Friday in exclusive East Hampton, New York. The two
stayed at mega-director Steven Spielberg’s house, while
raising $600,000 from wealthy supporters of the
Democratic Party. From all appearances, Hillary is standing
by her man.
Hillary Rodham Clinton (October 26, 1947; 8:00 pm;
Chicago, IL) has her Sun in early Scorpio, a zodiacal
location which has been barraged all year from the
cross-currents of Saturn and Neptune. Scorpios excel at
presenting an unfathomable facade, and the public can only
guess how the underlying pressures are actually affecting
her family relationships.
Hillary’s Mars-Pluto conjunction describes her as an
indomitable fighter. She is the iron will behind the friendly
charm of Bill Clinton. The Lunar Eclipse on August 7 takes
place right on her Mars-Pluto, and a week later Pluto turns
direct as it squares her Midheaven/Nadir axis. These
powerful double Pluto influences indicate she is the fight of
her life. Her home and public standing our equally in
jeopardy.
Hillary’s progressions describe the longer term
developments. Her progressed Sun is nearing an opposition
to Uranus, a classic divorce aspect. This one is exact in
June 2000, but becomes an over-riding influence within a
year. It could mean separation from her position as the First
Lady by Bill’s fall, or it could mean divorce itself.
Mercury turns direct on August 23 (very near her
Mars-Pluto) as it squares Hillary’s Scorpio Venus. She and
Bill and Chelsea will be vacationing at Martha’s Vineyard
then. As Mercury turns direct, she will likely let out her
true feelings on the situation.
