Hillary Clinton has Mercury sesquiquadrate Eris with 16 minutes of arc and Mercury parallel Eris with 16 minutes of arc,and that can indicates her communications could involve issues with diversity,divergence. A controversial communicator. She has Saturn sesquiquadrate Eris with 11 minutes of arc,and this can indicate possible restrictions,limitations involving issues with diversity,divergence. She has Ascendant sesquiquadrate Eris with 37 minutes of arc,and that can indicate a divergent personality with diversity issues. Her Mercury-Ascendant,Saturn,and Eris 8th harmonic triangle minor t-square indicates that she can be a controversial,divergent communicator,personality. It also suggests that there can be a person with a conservative ideology.

Transiting Eris is quincunx her Mercury exact! That indicates that diversity,divergence matters would be in conflict,strain with her communications. That indicates her divisiveness in the campaign in regards to race. Transiting Eris is quincunx her Ascendant with 19 minutes of arc applying, and that can indicate diversity,divergence matters would be in conflict,strain with her persona. She appears as very divisive and ethnic baiter to others. The Eris quincunx transits to her Mercury and Ascendant indicate that discord and strife is an issue with her right now. Her tactics have led to her undoing and is now forcing her to change her tactics.

Transiting Chiron is squaring her Mercury with 22 minutes applying, can indictate wounds,pain are in conflict with her communications. This can indicate that she can say painful things to others, but it can also indicate thoughts of her own pain. Transiting Chiron is opposing her Saturn with 17 minutes of arc, and that can indicate pain,wounding can bring about restrictions,limitations. Magi Society says that's "HEARTBREAK CLASH TRANSIT" and that is the worse Saturn clash transit that indicates great heartbreak,disappointment,and having a bad image. Transiting Chiron is squaring her Ascendant with 43 minutes of arc, and that indicates that she's a wounded person....a person who is in a lot of pain right now. Transiting Chiron is in a T-Square transit with her Mercury-Ascendant square Ascendant. This indicates that she's in a period of pain and being wounded. She's deeply hurt. I believe that indicates that the way she communicates has hurt her self image to others.

Transiting Mars is squaring her Sun,and that indicates assertiveness,passion in conflict,friction with her ego,self expression. This indicates that she can become more aggressive,angry. She can become more of a fighter but it can create more conflict with her. Transiting Mars is trining her Jupiter, and that indicates that assertiveness,passion is in harmony with her expansiveness. I believe that this indicates that she can be very optimistic,enthusiastic about her chances.

Transiting Jupiter sextile her Mercury with 58 minutes applying, and this indicates can opportunity to expand in communications. There can be optimistic thoughts, thinking that she has a chance. Transiting Jupiter sextile her Ascendant This would look favorable for her in regards to the next 2 primaries in West Virginia and Kentucky.
Transiting Jupiter is quincunx her Saturn with 1'03 orb applying,and that can indicate expansion conflict,string with structure. Magi Society calls it "Nuclear Clash Transit" ,and that is said to be the 2nd worst Saturn transit that indicate much misfortune.

of course, she's not going to drop out....not with those Mars,Jupiter transits......she will keep on fighting and have enthusiasm that she can still win.

Transiting Uranus is conjunct her Moon, and this indicates that her emotional nature is unpredictable and going through changes...certain emotional biases can suddenly come out....She could be emotional erratic. There is chance that she can feel liberated. Transiting Uranus is trining her Ascendant exact, and that seems to indicate the popularity that she has that helped people to vote for her.

Transiting Saturn is conjuncting her Midheaven, and this indicate that she's more ambitious and wants to get to the top. It can also indicate restrictions,limitations too. Transiting Saturn is sextiling her Sun,and that can indicate that she has an opportunity to has some discipline with her ego/self expression.....mainly self control.

I am finishing projects of my own and working hard for them........I actually feel re-energized since last night about working harder myself.......kind of interesting.....

I also support Hillary and don't want her to quit at all.

Interesting post.

I am definitely not like her, and I am definitely not supporting her. I don't even like her because of her ethnic baiting and divisiveness. As a person who is son of white mother and black father, I find her tactics troubling and offensive. I support Barack Obama. I definitely want her to drop out because I want the Democratic Party united as soon as possible. The math is totally against her,and she now trails in super delegates.

When I wrote that I have similar placements, I referred to - that because you mentioned transits or whatever they are called, I could read into them and interpret as I have some of the same placements. That's all.

I have certain similarities in personality but I'm also considered "sweet" and "beautifully charming" - maybe sun conjunct venus in my chart? So I don't get called being "dislikeable" as Hillary does by some - but I do have a strong personality and when I am focused on something, well, that becomes the #1 all - I can relate to her. Yet Anyway - I support her views, I think she is intelligent, phenomenal and very strong - someone I have confidence to handle the package it is to run this country - especially now when we are facing tons of issues.

I voted in FL - so Boo to that!! As my vote has not yet counted -

The best way for Democrats to win the Election is to select Hillary as a running mate.

Thank about you it - From Blue Collar White Workers to Women to African Americans to all in between will be united with this approach. I think this approach is already cooking - and - it has been thrown on News often.

She said :
"Senator Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me . . . There's a pattern emerging here."

The superdelegates aren't buying that. Obama has closed Hillary's lead in superdelegates.

also....
it must be remembered that Bill Clinton won the presidency in 1992 in three-way races with a grand total of 39 percent of the white vote and 83 percent of the black vote and 61 percent of the Hispanic vote and besting the first President Bush and Ross Perot among all age groups.

Also...Senator Obama had 8 years of legislature experience as Abraham Lincoln who became president. Abraham Lincoln was the member of the House of Representatives for 2 years. Obama has been a US senator for 2 years. They share the same amount of experience. Also Obama was a civil rights lawyer and community grassroots organizer too. Hillary Clinton was on the board of Walmart.

How did many people get on Arnold Schwarzeneggar for being governor without any political experience. What about Ronald Reagan. He was an actor and then became governor and then president. What makes Obama's inexperienced in politics. He's not stupid...he can learn about foreign policies.

He certainly isn't too young to be president. JFK was younger than him when he was elected.

Other things that annoy.....guilt by association,

I do feel that a President's personal life is important. After all, they say that character is important in a president. Bill Clinton showed poor character by having an affair in the White House,and lying to the people about it. He has been philandering throughout his many years of marriage. Hillary just stayed in the marriage....even after the Monica Lewinsky fiasco.

People say that she's a strong woman. Well....if she was a strong woman, why didn't she just divorce him? Why didn't she break ties with him? Is she really strong enough to stand on her own? She's even using Bill Clinton's legacy to argue her case why she should be president. Bill Clinton did questionable things as president including signing Nafta which she strongly was an advocate for,but she says it's not. She runs on the good things about her husband's presidency, but she chooses to not acknowledge the bad things about her husband's presidency .

Hillary said "You can't choose your family,but you can choose your pastor"

Obama should have said "You're right. You can't choose your family, but you can choose your husband"

Barack Obama gets slammed because his pastor(who was like an uncle to him) was making highly controversial remarks including pointing out that racism is alive and well which is true. There is research that anybody can do do that back up that racism is still a problem. Even President Bush acknowledged that racism is a problem to NAACP. American Civil Liberties Union even called out USA on its racism including issues like racial profiling. A lot of white preachers also made controversial remarks,but white politicians don't get condemned like a black preacher does.

of course....the double standards when it comes to White preachers and Black preachers are very irritating.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr spoke out against Vietnam and the racism in USA. I feel that too many whites are blind to race relations problem in America.

It really bothers me that Hillary plays the race relations issue card....she caters to white racists to rural areas. She's divisive,and a lot of people are seeing it.

Florida and Michigan held their primaries early and that was against the rules. So their votes didn't count.

The candidates agreed not to campaign there.

Now that Hillary is behind, she wants the rules changed. That's bullcrap. I don't see how Hillary's supporters would support her in regards to Florida and Michigan. Obama wasn't even on the ballot.

This stuff really really irritates me.

BTW.....if by some miracle, Hillary gets the nomination, I will vote for her reluctantly. After all,I am a liberal. I want the Democrats back in the White House.

It is each person't business whether or not to stay with a cheating spouse. TONS of people do it, it is actually more common than my notions were back in 1999 when I was in my early 20s and thought that a radical divorce was the answer - but then LIFE happened to me LOL and you know what, each person, each marriage is their own business for each couple. I've observed couple friends and have now worked in the real world and have encountered different circumstances and find that it is better to let others be with what they come to agree behind close doors.
I'm not going to go into the rest of the post.
Each candidate has positive points as well as negative points.

They agreed to the rules that the primaries wouldn't count.

so why should Hillary make them count because she's losing????

don't play that.....it's fair card.

you can't just make rules and just change them because they don't suit you.

if you want to go there with the marriage private stuff,

people's church lives are private too. Church and State are supposed to be separate any way.

USA is not a christian country.....it's an interfaith country. We have freedom of religion here. But you wouldn't know when people's religious beliefs infringe on other's rights like to right to marriage which might violate their own religious beliefs.....maybe some homosexual couples believe in reincarnation and believe they were heterosexual couples in pastlives or believe that they were other genders in pastlives. I and many other people believe in reincarnation. Many of us do believe that we had pastlives as other genders and believe that the soul has no gender.

also Hillary runs on Bill Clinton's legacy. If the game of guilt by association is fair, then she can get called out by some of Bill Clinton's actions like he die lie under oath and to the American people,and he did have adultery in the White House. He also signed NAFTA which she strongly supported, and then goes and says that she's always opposed NAFTA. There are many scandals they've been involved in. Hillary Clinton got on Obama about his association with Ayers, but Bill Clinton pardoned terrorist radicals associated with Ayers too.

posted May 10, 2008 04:43 PM         

but Hillary is trying to pull the ethnic divide card (she's white,and so she can get a lot more white people)
she can get hard working class americans....those white americans to vote for her.

Americans of all ethnicities are hardworking. Not just white.

Obama doesn't just get black votes. He gets a lot of white votes too. He isn't even all Black. He's half white. He gets all this crap about how he's where he is at because he's black. It's like they don't understand that he's half white too. That he understands white and black people and has affinity with them because of his heritage.
USA still persists with the one drop rule (if you're part black, you're black).

it shouldn't be condoned nor supported

She's been called out on it.

that crap is not being bought by the super delegates,and it shouldn't be.

like I said before

Bill Clinton didn't have 50 percent of white vote,but he got elected. He won with over 80 percent of the black vote and 60 percent of the Hispanic vote.

therefore, the argument about Hillary getting a lot more white voters and the working white class voters has little validity. That's the point that the columnist made.

Yet - Having said that:

I was raised Catholic and walked out of the Catholic church when a priest was preaching mass and said some things I did not agree with. I did not go back. I distanced myself and that was that. My soul could not possibly be fed by someone who to me was clearly myopic.

I leave it at that.

I won't keep posting about this but I will say that I'm glad that I support Hillary and still stand behind her even if her chances have decreased.
I don't really want to say anything negative about Obama as I don't think that is necessary. When all this came out about Wright, I actually stood back and thought to myself: Obama must have an understanding about him that obviously would not be visible in the headline news - - I left it at that.
I'm thankful that I have the ability to do that and not being small-minded and accuse him of things.

What is sad to me - BEYOND whether or not Hillary wins the nomination is the WAY in which she has been beat up by the media.
The media is so biased against Hillary and I cannot stand how these pundits just have their way addressing her publicly and completely disregarding her great campaign and hard work that has gotten her up to this point.

NY magazine has a great article online about Hillary Clinton and the feminist reawakening.....it is a fantastic article................for those interested.........and now I have to run and actually do something productive

posted May 10, 2008 05:40 PM         

If Hillary felt she had to go there, then she shouldn't stop at that. She should also pull the "white woman" card and say that since her support is strong among white women who make up a larger group than other women in this country, that also makes her a better candidate. It's probably a matter of time before she says that. LOL!!

So, it has come to this. Hillary is no longer running on character, experience, vision, platform. She is now running on race, social class, and pretty soon will openly run on gender. It's all politics, baby!!!!

I don't know much about Eris, so I can't comment on it. I have said in another thread that she is dealing with a transit of Neptune opposing her natal Saturn and squaring her natal Mercury on and off throughout this year, and it shows. Her judgement is cloudy. She is experiencing the sheer terror of having the carpet pulled out from under her, and she can't understand why this is all happening. She can't let go as Pluto is almost sextiling her sun. And so she forges on, kicking and screaming down an uncertain path.

posted May 10, 2008 06:01 PM         

Based on reading Zane Stein's article and his keywords as well as Roy
MacKinnon's keywords and the charts that I have looked at, I believe
that Eris has to do with stirring stuff up, controversy, ideology,
civil/equal rights matters, standing up for self/others, advocacy,
bigotry, racism, minorities, race relations, diversity, .....all those
things are connected to each other too.

I don't believe that Eris is just about discord and controversy. I
think that there is more to it. That's like saying Pluto is just about
the underworld because Pluto/Hades is the God of the underworld. Juan
Revilla made good points that we can't just rely on the name of the
object for its astrological meaning. Uranus personality traits fit
more with Prometheus than the god, Uranus even though Uranus/Ouranos
was the sky god. Neptune personality traits fit more with
Dionysus/Bacchus even though Neptune was the sea god. I looked at some
asteroid stuff in regards to that. Juan Revilla said that it's
important to consider the orbital symbolism of the objects. Philip
Sedgwick takes into account the nodes and perihelion/aphelion of the
object.

Astronomical-oriented astrologers including Philip Sedgwick, Juan
Revilla, Zane Stein don't rely on the name of objects to derive
meaning from it.

Some of them suggested names to the astronomers that were accepted for
some centaurs after studying their orbits, physical properties. Nessus
was the first. http://www.zanestein.com/page4_2.htm

this is what Philip Sedgwick said
Star Blogs ~ The Galactic Times
Planet With No Name (Yet) ~ 02 Feb 2008

"So if you were Neil Young traversing the desert night sky on a planet
with no name, how could you derive any meaning for it? One, consider
its nature, uniqueness and physical profile. Two, assign interpretive
delineations by pondering the sign and degree of critical orbital
elements, specifically the node and closest point the body makes to
the Sun."

the closest point of the object makes to the sun is called the Perihelion.

Here is some stuff by Juan Revilla who believes in the orbital
symbolism should be used to determine an object's astrological meaning
and not the name.

ORBITAL SYMBOLISM IN ASTROLOGY http://www.expreso.co.cr/centaurs/essays/paradigm.html

Zane Stein even added Persephone/Proserpina symbolism in his Eris
keywords. Michael Brown wanted to name Eris "Persephone", and he even
said that it was like Persephone. He said that half of the time, Eris
orbits away from Pluto. But the names, "Persephone" and "Proserpina"
were given to asteroids. Obviously, astronomers gave mythological
names too readily. Michael Brown did give the name Eris after all the
discord among the astronomers. Methinks..that there could be
astrologers in discord. Many astrologers don't agree on many things in
Astrology like orbs are hotly debated.

I was thinking how Ceres and Pluto are made equals in Astronomy
because of the discovery of Eris, and how it can seem similar to how
Pluto/Hades and Ceres/Demeter shared equal amount of time with
Proserpina/Persephone.
Pluto got demoted to minor planet and assigned a minor planet number.
Ceres got promoted to dwarf planet. Therefore, Pluto and Ceres are
equals in astronomy. Pluto got the same treatment as Ceres. Ceres was
classed as a planet but got it's planetary status stripped after the
realization that it is one of many objects in the asteroid belt
between Mars and Jupiter. Now Pluto's planetary status is stripped
after the realization that it is one of many objects in the Kuiper
Belt. After they found Eris, the need to make a definition of what
planet had to be made. Astronomers even hypothesize there could be a
dozen Plutos out there and even some Mars-sized objects. Any
ways...Ceres and Pluto were made equals because of Eris, and so that's
one of the reasons that I believe Eris has to do with equal rights,
civil rights issues.. I am seeing Eris in civil rights, equal rights
events....especially involving Black civil rights issues. Eris can be
related to minority rights issues. Eris' Perihelion is in Libra seems
to reflect the equality, fairness, getting along that Eris seems to
call for. Eris' Aphelion in Aries seems to reflect the war, conflict,
aggression, trouble that Eris is known for causing. Eris' North Node
in Taurus seems to reflect the solidarity. It can also be the
stubbornness, materialism that often causes problems in society and
creates division between people. Eris' South Node in Scorpio seems to
reflect the transformation, rebirth, but also revenge, resentment that
often connection to division of humanity and linked to racism.

When I think of Eris, I think of taking sides, forced to decide
between two things, torn between two factions, dilemmas, "If you are
not with me, you are against me", betrayal, resentment that happens
after choosing a side, creating a bridge, narrowing the gap

Eris orbits beyond Saturn, and so it seems like it can relate to the
metaphysical. It is a kuiper belt object like Pluto, and so it can
seem to relate to intensity, transformation, and rebirth.
Eris orbits well beyond Pluto, and so it can seem to relate to the
metaphysical, intensity, and transformation like I believe that all
the other kuiper objects do to some degree. Eris' orbit is more
unusual than Pluto for its not only it's more elliptical, but it is
tilted 44.187 degrees relative to the plane of the solar system.
Pluto's orbit is only inclined 17 degrees. That would reflect that
Eris relates to being a nonconformist as well as being divergent.

Based on reading Zane Stein's article and his keywords as well as Roy
MacKinnon's keywords and the charts that I have looked at, I believe
that Eris has to do with stirring stuff up, controversy, ideology,
civil/equal rights matters, standing up for self/others, advocacy,
bigotry, racism, minorities, race relations, diversity, .....all those
things are connected to each other too.

It could be racial relations stuff like the racial divide, interracial
relationships, interracial marriages, interracial family
connections, interracial parentage it could be the multiracial. It
could even be international relations. It could be like
tolerance/intolerance of divergence, diversity, minorities(not
necessarily race, ethnic...but even religion, sexual orientation,
etc). It's the intolerance of divergents, diversity, minorities that
lead to equal/civil rights issues

Barack Obama is definitely an racial minority, he comes across as
divergent to many, and he seems to believe in acceptance/tolerance of
diversity, he comes from a family background that is diverse. He's a
civil rights lawyer.

Roy, Zane, Francisco, and Phil have some very good preliminary
keywords for Eris, and they go well beyond discord. The Eris research
that I did seem to support their keywords.

Roy MacKinnon's Eris' Keywords:
Striving to achieve one's goals and refusing to capitulate to the
pressure of unjust treatment and discord from abusive authority : with
great inner conviction and single-mindedness of purpose following a
path of high attainment and enlightenment notwithstanding adversity -
alternatively refusing the call to transform with mediocrity and
underachievement as consequences: issues around power abuse of
minorities, the defenceless, the alien: networks, multinational
countries and companies, the world- wide web: piracy, terrorism, clash
of ideologies: conflict between desires of personality and pursuit of
the inner call: persecution of the spiritually aware person who stands
alone courageously acting according to conscience: an outstanding
individual ahead of the times.

Zane Stein's Eris Keywords:
Loss of innocence, entrance into adulthood; child's trauma being
separated from parent; acceptance of unavoidable changes; dying and
being reborn (as opposed to Pluto which rules the causes/processes of
death and rebirth); internal split causing longing to be whole, the
longing of the soul for its other half; the subject/object of a
debate, argument, competition, conflict or war...what stirs people to
fight or disagree; fighting for one's rights; strife and discord;
pitting one side against the other; competition, contests and
tournaments; struggles for supremacy; rivalry; a test of skills or
abilities; love of fighting or debate; what one has at stake in a
competition, dispute or conflict, or one's perspective of what is
being fought over; refusing to relinquish one's hold on an ideal,
belief, cause, or object...'not budging an inch'; the problems
resulting from irreconcilable differences; contrasting different
perspectives; comparing thesis and antithesis in the search for truth;
contrasting opposing viewpoints to reveal each side more clearly, to
seek similarities as well as differences; contrasting logical thought
processes to show the limitations of logic; identifying with, or
trying to understand, first principles; incongruous juxtapositions to
force one to think outside of the box; the ethics connected with one's
motives and methods, and the coming to light of less than spotless
methods; the roots of one's motivations; piracy, defrauding,
swindling; society's ethics; race intent.

Francesco Schiavinotto's Keywords:
Dam; Damming; Obstruction; Obliteration; To be opposite; Aversion for
the Extraneous; To obstacle the Alien; False Adaption between
Different Matters; Reciprocal Aversion; Feeling to be Invaded;
Resistance; Incommunicability; Controversial Figure; Ecological
Incompatibility; Underground Instability

It's Eris' Co-Discoverer, Michael Brown that seemed to give the clue
to Eris' meaning

"She causes strife by causing arguments among men, by making them
think their opinions are right and everyone else's is wrong, " Brown
said. "It really is just perfect." ) http://www-tech.mit.edu/V126/N38/38shorts2.html

What really got me to think Eris in regards to race, racism is Eris'
Sabian Symbol in African Slavery Chart.
Eris in 11'14 Gemini......My Midheaven is in 11'14 Gemini which is
sextile my retrograde Chiron in 10'32 Aries, retrograde Eris in 12'15
Aries, my retrograde Africa in 11'15 Aries, and my retrograde Africano
in 12'38 Aries in 8th.................It shows a possible strong
Karmic connection to African Slavery whether as victim or perpetrator.
It also shows my strong connection to African Americans for my father
was an African American.

The Following is from Lynda Hill's 360 DEGREES OF WISDOM which I
recommend for anybody who wants a clear understanding of the Sabian
Symbols without highly abstract interpretations.

12 Gemini
A BLACK SLAVE-GIRL DEMANDS HER RIGHTS OF HER MISTRESS

Keywords: Rising above-conditioning and limitations. Standing up for
one's self. Demanding better treatment. Seeking recognition and
self-respect. Being in charge of one's life. Breaking away from
oppression. Wanting a raise in pay or conditions. The need for
freedom. Desiring property and rewards. Rising up from an "underdog"
position or situation. The quest for identity.

The Caution: Feeling hard done by. Being demanding. Blaming others.
Bucking authority. Demanding to be recognized or noticed. Feeling used
and abused. Oppression and slavery. Jealousy and envy. Exploitation

You can see how minorities, African Americans, slavery, reparations,
affirmative action, welfare, and political correctness/incorrectness,
racial slurs, "Slavery is over....Get over it!" fits with that Sabian
Symbol. Advocacy also fits with that Sabian Symbol.

If you look at Eris' Discovery chart, The asteroids, White and Black
are in opposition within 1 degree and they are on the
Vertex-Antivertex axis within 1 degree. To me, that seems to have have
to do with race relations, racial divide..blacks and whites that can
complement or be at odds with each other.

Astronomical oriented Astrologers look at the placement of the object,
its nodes, and perihelion/aphelion axis to get insights about the
object........the orbital symbolism. Philip Sedgwick definitely does that

I check out the Sabian Symbols of the object, its nodes, and its
perihelion/aphelion

Eris in 19'45 Aries.....Stationary Direct
