Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, hasn’t been in the news much lately.

I missed her last big news story where she apparently is in a photo taken while she and others watched Osama bin Laden being murdered. Clinton has hand to mouth with a shocked expression on her face. Her ostensible reason is that she was holding back a nasty cough.

Or maybe watching a man die is shocking. If that’s what the photograph is showing, a group watching Osama bin Laden being murdered, then shock seems in order. What’s shocking, then, are the expressions on the other, male, faces.

A Watery Person

Clinton is a Scorpio, a fixed water sign, with moon in Pisces, a mutable water sign. Whether or not she was gaping in terror at a man being killed, Clinton is an emotional being.

Clinton also has air (Uranus in Gemini and Neptune in Libra) and fire (Mars, Pluto and Saturn in Leo and Jupiter in Sagittarius) in her horoscope.

What Clinton lacks is earth.

The life Clinton is currently leading, flying all over the world without roots, probably suits her well. She doesn’t really want to stay home and garden.

Clinton has six of the ten planets in fixed signs indicating a strong, determined and stubborn personality. The Mars/Pluto/Saturn conjunction in Leo suggests a nasty fighter. Topped with vengeful Scorpio and insightful Pisces, this woman can see the threads that bind you and cut them apart when necessary.

Transits

Saturn will be transiting Clinton’s sun in December 2012. Does that date ring a bell? By then, the next presidential election will be over. Astrotheme puts Clinton’s sun in the 5th house of creativity. In December 2012, she may find a contraction of that creativity.

Astrotheme’s chart would put the transiting Pluto in the 7th house, transiting Uranus in the 10th and transiting Saturn in the 4th (which form a T-square).

Since I know what she does for a living and how it’s dependent on the election, I suspect her public role may change – voluntarily or involuntarily.

There also seem to be relationship changes in store which affect family life. Those changes will affect her sense of self (Saturn on sun).

Age 65

Next year Hillary will be 65. Maybe she will retire, as that used to be the age when the common folks could begin to relax, collect some Social Security and dip into those bulging 401Ks. Oh, the nostalgia of it!

Whatever occurs in December 2012 Clinton may enjoy in the long-term. Neptune will be transiting that Pisces moon in several years. Possibly the end of 2012 will be the beginning of something new.
