Hillary Clinton: the Choice of Venus in this Year of the Outsider?

Is Hillary Clinton Outsider Enough to Satisfy Election 2016 Venus in Sagittarius?

by Jude Cowell

Sagittarius is the sign of the outsider or the foreigner and last year, when I posted to SO'W the article on the Venus Cycle and its influence on the upcoming US presidential election of November 8, 2016, it was early days and the field of 2016 candidates had not yet narrowed to Hillary, Bernie, Donald, Ted, and John. At that time, a brokered (or, open) convention had not been mentioned with its allure of a Republican nominee appearing from 'outside' the current field of wanna-bes. Perhaps in July a nominee from who-knows-where can still appear at the RNC (from outside the campaign) but apparently it will not be GOP favorite, Speaker Paul Ryan.

Now May 2016 is almost upon us and the Republican establishment is said to be coming around to the acceptance of wild card circus barker Donald Trump as their nominee for president, outsider as he is said to be. Hillary Clinton seems a shoe-in for the Democrats so I'm wondering: is she enough of an outsider to satisfy Venus and thus be the next resident of the Oval Office (the Venusian egg-shaped power base in the White House). My thought is that Hillary may be enough of an outsider due to her status as a female--and perhaps lady Venus will be satisfied with a president who isn't a traditional member of the good ole boys' network even though Hillary's decades as a political animal identifies her to most people as being as 'establishment' as anyone. But if she's indicted...well, Bernie can still step in and I suspect that his political status as a Democratic Socialist, not a Democrat, may qualify him as an outsider.

(Yes, I know Trump is seemingly more of an outsider but we're talking Hillary here.)

So if you'd like to consider more on Hillary's status, see Hardball's Chris Matthews discussing how Clinton Survives in the Year of the Outsider.

"The Year of the Outsider"! Such an appropriate description of America's 4-year election cycle and the influence of planet Venus upon who wins the day!

April 26, 2016: First, news about Campaign 2016, then guest, journalist Seymour Hersh, speaks with Thom Hartmann:

Prince Charles: "I am descendant of Dracula" - video (w horoscope links)

Now some folk might generously put Prince Charles' admission that he descends from Vlad the Impaler in the 'At Least He Admits It' cartegory--I don't, but you might. Actually, this reminds me of how related are US presidents to the 'British' royal family. Wait. That could explain a lot if genes have anything to do with murdering millions of people in wars and other 'presidential' actions--all without blinking an eye. Often I've wondered if our presidential candidates and subsequent Oval Office victors must swear an oath that they will kill any number of people, whoever and whenever their hidden masters deem it necessary, and without losing a night's sleep over it. We Americans have seen, however, many a president's hair turn gray while in office:

As of yet I have never studied the natal horoscopes of Prince Charles (and/or that of other royal family members) and Count Dracula together as a related pair but I now deem it necessary. Or at least intriguing. After all, our second President John Adams is known to have been a member of the Dragon Family himself and perhaps you've read of the granite column erected by John Adams to the memory of his ancestor Henry Adams, their family's first migrant to America due to the Devonshire Dragon Persecution, as the stone column's inscription states.

For more on such topics try: Snake Princess Lilith, brief notes on the Dragon Persecution, Devonshire, and a Wiki page for Thomas de Strickland who at the Battle of Agincourt carried the Banner of St. George (who according to legend slayed the dragon and was martyred by Diocletian for his Christian faith). And of course, the history of the Merovingian Kings (with lineage from Clovis I to Charlemagne and down through other blood-spillers) links to satanism and to US presidents--all this a part of the reptilian topic of this post including the bogus Merovingian claim of descendancy from Jesus and Mary Magdalen to which this Christian says, Puh!

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Puerto Rico (HBO) - video

Somewhere between the US Congress, Wall Street hedge fund vultures, UBS, and the ghost of Senator Strom Thurmond the island of Puerto Rico and its 3.5 million American citizens are twisting in the wind. Allow HBO's John Oliver and Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda to explain...

In case the video is disappeared at some point, you'll find it at:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt-mpuR_QHQ so if you missed this Last Week Tonight segment, it's brilliantly amusing and informative yet enraging so please check it out. To me it sounds as if Strom and his colleagues in Congress in 1984 fashioned Puerto Rico's debt time bomb to go off about 30 years later...after billions of dollars had been made by the villains involved. Depopulation of the indigenous islanders seems to be a part of the scheme as well.

On May 9, 2016 Mercury Transits the Sun

On Monday May 9, 2016, the Great Cosmic Clock that is our Solar System provides us a rather rare view into its machinations via a Mercury Transit across the Sun. The last one occurred on November 8, 2006 with Mercury at 16 Scorpio. On May 9, Mercury will be opposite its 2008 degree at 19 Taurus (Tropical Zodiac).

So if you're as curious as a Mercurial person can be about this 13-to-14-times-per-century spectacle, check out Brian Ventrudo's Guide to the May 9, 2016 Transit of Mercury.

Actually May 9 stands out for another cosmic reason because giant Jupiter performs a Direct Station that very morning at 8:14 am edt on the 13 Virgo degree. Somehow both events in the heavens seem to me to relate to Campaign 2016 in the US--Mercury rules voting, voters, speeches, rhetoric, travels, plans, actors, tricksters, thieves, traders, and such while Jupiter plays many roles in Mundane Astrology--among them, politicians, actors, bankers, and financiers.
