Having seen donations to their 'foundation' collapse by
90% since they failed in their bid to regain The White House, The Clintons
decided a 13-city paid speaking tour was in order to scrape together some coin.
Unfortunately, as the image above shows, the supposed-power-couple's draw is
starting to fade as the Daily Mail
reports that just 3,300 tickets were sold in the Scotiabank Arena in downtown
Toronto, which holds 19,800. Nov. 29
Bill and Hillary Clinton launched their 13-city paid
speaking tour in a Canadian hockey arena Tuesday evening, where there were
banks of empty seats. On that very day
Mercury in retrograde motion reached its conjunction with the Sun. Recall that
in October and November Venus and Mercury went through their retrograde cycle.
Venus went retrograde on Oct. 5 at 21 Scorpio
and direct on Nov. 16 at 25 Libra. She conjoined the Sun on Oct.26 in
retrograde motion at 3 Scorpio. This
date happens to Hillary Clinton’s birthday (born Oct. 26 1949) so that energies
of retrograde Venus were definitely focused on Hillary.
The astrological Venus is a complex figure. She guards our
values lest they become outdated . Venus retrogrades are ideal times for introspection,
to reassess our values. After Venus stations direct we often reject things and people we had once valued . This can be a trying time for
leaders who often lose their mass appeal and can no longer draw the crowds they
once did.
Mercury stationed retrograde on Nov. 16 at 13 Sagittarius
and will go direct on Dec. 6 at 27 Scorpio.
The Clintons began their lecture tour on Nov. 27 at Toronto - the very day Mercury reached its inferior
conjunction with the Sun at 5 Sagittarius. Sagittarius is a fire sign. Fire as
an element has been associated with intuition , the inspirational force that
powers our creativity. When Mercury retrogrades through the Fire signs it
breaks up our old patterns of expectations of our creative function. We often
make a lot of haphazard attempts to ‘start something’ , a poor substitute for
true inspiration. Reaching a stuck place can then bring inner pressure to a bursting point
alerting us to a need for change in creative production.
Presented here is the chart for the Sun-Mercury conjunction
on Nov.27 drawn for Toronto. As with all
mundane charts, planetary configuration
on the angles are the ones to focus on. Here we find a Venus Uranus opposition aligned very significantly with the horizon
and square the Nodal axis. Let us recall that Venus having just come out of her
retrograde phase is at the stage of reassessing values and rejecting old, dead
values. Venus square the Node suggests
that we could be out of touch with the current social trends. And of course
since Venus is opposite Uranus, there could a sudden revelation of what has changed.
There are details in the chart that are quite stunning.
First, a Mercury – Jupiter conjunction in Sagittarius is easily associated with
a lecture tour. And secondly, the asteroid Kassandra is conjunct Venus on the
Ascendant opposite Uranus. In her book Mechanics
of the Future : ASTEROIDS, Martha Wescott writes:
Stress aspects to
Kassandra shows that one’s advice is not heeded or not believed. One may be
ignored ; people may not listen to what you have to say through Kassandra. A
badly placed Kassandra produces the person who sets up a soapbox, and then
doesn’t draw a crowd!
