Hillary's Horoscope: Her Comeback Was in the Stars

It should come as no surprise that Hillary Clinton came out swinging after her defeat in Iowa. After all, it was in the stars: she is a Scorpio and Scorpio rules the instinct for survival. Scorpio also rules cockroaches. Did you ever try to spray or drown them? They can hold their breath and play dead until you walk out of the kitchen and turn out the light. Then they scurry away, laughing. Scorpios are loved and hated at the same time. Those who hate Hillary still respect her sheer chutzpah, and those who love her have to put up with the fact that she can be a nightmare to live with, especially if she gets a whiff of betrayal.

Back in the 90s when she was laughed out of Congress, her critics believed she was done for. You have to understand how Scorpios operate, however. And Hillary does operate. She operates like a nuclear-powered paper shredder. The whole Congress-health care fiasco was a disaster, partly because Scorpios do lack subtlety when they have a goal. They get fixated. They zero in. Hillary can't help it. She's an assertive female. (That's why Bill married her. He likes to get slapped around once in a while.) She is not the frilly-I-enjoy-being- a-girl type of woman. She's more like a girl's gym teacher; just fit her out with a whistle and a pair of sneakers and she'd be ready to dribble a basketball. That image makes it easy for her detractors to cast aspersions on her sexuality.

So when she busted into the Senate with six-guns blazing, the Old Boys snickered and thought they could just send her back to the kitchen. Scorpio women are not just women, though.

Hillary backed away. In typical Scorpio fashion, she went into Plan B. Scorpios always have not only Plan B, but they usually have it figured out all the way up to Plan Z. She probably figured, well, if she couldn't convince those old buzzards to do what she thought was right, she would just have to take over the whole shebang.

Many women in the United States were left growling over the Monica Lewinsky affair. They thought that instead of crying right wing conspiracy and standing by her man, she should have tossed Bill out on his royal Leo butt. Not the Scorpio way. When you betray Scorpios, they don't challenge you to a duel at dawn on CBS. They wait.

Hilary won't resort to stuffing penicillin into your toothpaste tube when you're horribly allergic. She's more evolved than that, whose version of revenge is smoother, cooler and sweeter. Hillary has a higher agenda to help her survive the worst bites, kicks, slaps and cuts. She knows she would rise up again in a brand new incarnation to make her betrayer serve her needs.

Is she on a power trip? Be real. Why else would she subject herself to the pit bull attacks waiting in the political arena? Power, yes, but also this: When situations are dire, enterprises failing, businesses stalling, empires falling and extinction is right around the corner, Scorpios get turned on. Only they can walk right down into the Valley of the Lepers with bagels and cream cheese and think nothing of it. Grandiose or not, Hillary believes she can turn the current mess around.

Love her and hate her, you've got to admit she's one of the ballsiest gals ever to ride her bike no hands down Pennsylvania Avenue. Either that or she's plumb out of her cotton pickin' mind.

Some will vote for her just because she's a woman. Many will NOT for the same reason. In the end, foreign or domestic policies notwithstanding, Scorpio always turns out to be an issue of gender.

Stay tuned.

The universe gives us all kinds of highly reliable rhythms to understand creation as well we can to apprehend and sustain our own purpose, individually and socially. Of course that would include the meticulous and reliable life of the planets. How fabulous Michael Lutin is writing his sage commentary to be posted on HuffingtonP. because Michael can, as well as any astrologer out there, tap into that inevitable (as in whether we 'like it' or not) rhythm of the universe and dissect it for us - leaving the mystery in - helping us grow, accept, adore and have some fun. Watch.

What's with all the Scorpio-bashing? This piece lacks subtlety and shows the limits of Sun Sign astrology.

Laura Bush is a Scorpio too. They don't all act as assertive as Hillary, although they'll get even no matter how long it takes. And they'll do it with a sweet smile because they do love their revenge. And they'll keep getting even as many times as they feel like it. Destroying you on some level once isn't always totally gratifying or enough for them. If you cross a Scorpio you need to watch your back for life.

Gawd. I'm such a fan, Michael. Perfect.
Nobody does pedal to the medal like Scorpio.
Even if it takes decades to get there. Love your work ! fawn, fawn. cockroaches. heh. oh, yeah.

Hillary is still hanging in there (and will be) because her hardest astrological transits are yet to come (typical of a final contestant in the fall). It's well-explained in detail in an article here, written before the New Hampshire primary, trumping the mainstream press:

It's also the reason to watch Romney, as well...

"Grandiose or not, Hillary believes she can turn the current mess around."

Fine. But if you examine the DECISIONS SHE'S MADE since she took office: Iraq, Iran, failing to acknowledge or address the mess that NAFTA created on her husband's watch, you dont see a leader with the ability to grasp global realities before the rest. Hillary's excuse is that she did the best she could with the info she had at the time.

When others have made completely opposite decisions with the same input, the issue of quality of judgment is a fair measure of what we are getting with her. And frankly, it matters little how hard she works or how desperate she is to succeed, judgment is not something you can slog to attain. You have to have an inner geiger counter for it, and her decisions so far have shown me she doesn't have it.

She's probably a great senator where the rough and tumble evens everything out. But I wont trust the quality of her decisions when she's left to her own devices . . . or when she has the power of the United States to back up a decision where she 'doesn't have all the info' and she has to act. Bill was no foreign policy genius and it looks as if the old crew will be hauled back to hep her. I am not convinced.

As for this 'hard work' maxim, a student at something does more and more about less and less; a master at something does less and less about more and more.

Scorpios are also notorious for being self-preservationists at any cost. Notice that the only thing that finally made her crack was the threat of a PERSONAL loss. Scorpios also NEVER apologize because NOTHING is EVER their fault. They can also be very cutthroat and coldblooded, especially when their backs are against the wall. (Now keep in mind that EVERY sign has a bad side, not just Scorpios, of course! These traits just happen to be theirs.)

The good news is that the stars say Obama--the LEO--was slated to have a rough opening in January (NH) but that by the end of the month, he'd be sailing along smoothly!!!

I don't care how crazy this sounds...There's something to it.

[Independent voter]

Small typo on your part. It's spelled:

Hillary Horror Scope

[longislandlol]

Oye Vey-- A Leo male and a Scorpio female--- ironic that she's married to Leo hubby, Bill...

[longislandlol]

Horoscopes, voodo, astrology, idolotry, and other smoke and mirrors nonsense an election will not win...

[lynnn]

So is that why a Black Women who is running for president (see the green party) gets no mention, from the "progressive community"?

[RAMHaiti]

You forgot to mention that Hillary's in the best position to turn this mess around AND she's the best qualified.

Go Hillary!!

A lot of young voters aren't concerned about Health Care or Social Security.

I remember being against all wars in my youth, and I still think thats a noble aim, however, I don't ever remember thinking about National Security when I was young. Did I even know what National Security was?
