the entire horoscope, like imperial monarchs (Saturn and Pluto are in Leo). A Venus-Chiron conjunction sits right on their Libra Ascendant, which defines their social skills and engaging personalities. Venus-Chiron also defines the couple as being wounded in love. Jupiter squares the Saturn-Pluto conjunction, which brings up ethical and legal issues that periodically threaten their hold on their leadership positions.
In contrast, using an 8:00 pm time for Hillary shows no planets in the tenth house (none). Could the nation's most powerful political couple have no planets in the tenth house? Not likely. In this chart, their Saturn-Pluto conjunction is found hidden away in the 12th house, where it's ineffective and powerless. The Venus-Chiron conjunction is also cadent (in the third), which would reduce the influence of their wounded love experiences to inconsequential. Not likely.
Back to the composite using 8:02 am, a brief look at the major transits during their most important turning points verifies its accuracy. They were married on October 11, 1975 as transiting Saturn and Uranus were squaring each other while aligning with their Venus-Chiron-Ascendant. Transiting Saturn was nearly conjunct their Midheaven while transiting Uranus was conjunct their Ascendant, finally putting some structure (Saturn) into their otherwise wavering relationship, which was based on their mutually independent strengths and careers (Uranus).
The Monica Lewinsky scandal began on January 21, 1998 when a few Republicans openly questioned what happened between Bill and his intern. Transiting Neptune had recently squared the composite Venus, reflecting the secret affair. As the scandal and impeachment proceedings unfolded over the coming year, transiting Saturn was opposing their Ascendant, seriously challenging their marriage.
Bill and Hillary Clinton were sent to the White House for the first time when Bill was elected on November 3, 1992. Transiting Saturn was at 12º Aquarius where it opposed their Saturn-Pluto in the tenth house. This initiated a cycle of national prominence (according to Saturn cycle expert Grant Lewi). The next successful election on November 5, 1996 featured Saturn rising in the chart, where it trined the Midheaven. Also, transiting Pluto trined the Midheaven from the second house, creating a Grand Trine. Transiting Uranus squaring Venus-Chiron pointed to some developing problems in their relationship and their projected image of unity, which would manifest two years later.
The composite Sun is located at 29º Virgo, and forms a close sextile to Juno, the marriage asteroid. This combination has helped them stay together, and no doubt, the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in the tenth is a great motivator for maintaining their exalted social status. The Sun is also closely trine to Pallas at 28º Capricorn. Pallas, often associated with political strategy, gives the team savvy perspectives about how to advance their ambitions.
Transiting Pluto has been squaring the Clinton composite Sun off and on for the last year (2007-08), as it redefines their relationship and who's in charge. Pluto is also sextile their Venus-Chiron-Ascendant, allowing them to redefine and even build on the wounded relationship image using honesty and forthrightness about what happened.
Transiting Saturn in their tenth house is also sextile the Ascendant, reinforcing their shared strengths as they aim to create another co-presidency. Transiting Pluto is exactly sextile their composite Venus as the Democratic Convention begins on August 26, and then square their Sun on election day. These measurements assure us that Hillary and Bill will be around for a while.
Hillary and Bill Clinton's Composite Horoscope
One way to verify that Hillary was born closer to 8:02 am than 8:00 pm is to make a composite chart between her and Bill Clinton. Compare two composites: one using 8:02 am for Hillary and one using 8:00 pm. Since we know Bill Clinton's birth data (August 19, 1946; 8:51 am; Hope, AK), the composite chart that rings true for their shared political ups and downs should reveal Hillary's correct time.
The composite chart using 8:02 am for Hillary is intensely powerful, and at the same time full of charm and pain. Their Saturn-Pluto conjunction in the tenth house of earthly power reigns over
The composite horoscope represents the couple's relationship itself, rather than comparing one chart to the other to see how one partner influences the other. The composite is derived from the midpoints of their planets. For example, halfway between Bill's Sun at 26º00' Leo and Hillary's Sun at 2º18' Scorpio is their composite Sun at 29º09' Virgo, which is shown above.
