1. Wesley Clark
Wesley Clark
With the election year fast approaching, we need to look at the
charts of the contenders. This one is just a start since I'm so late
getting to this, but will delineate more by December. Wesley Clark
was born December 23, 1944 at 5:43 AM CWT in Chicago, IL. There seem
to be mixed reactions to this man from his peers. All admit
his brilliance, but many don't like him, some even questioning his
ethical character.
Scorpio is rising, and interestingly, it is 28 degrees and has been
receiving a square from Uranus much of the past few months and
earlier, as well. Events are moving rather quickly for him, and he
could be experiencing some surprising responses to his words. Uranus
is co-ruler of his third. This transit, no matter what house it
rules, can be unsettling, to say the least. He is now highly nervous
and up-tight. Moon in Aries in the fifth, Koch house system, square
Saturn is most difficult. Currently, Saturn is transiting square his
Moon. He is highly sensitive to what he may perceive as personal
affronts, but also feels deep remorse and guilt when he has been in
error. However, personal planets in the fifth house have a Leo
undertone, so it is hard to show this remorse,
which would risk a loss of face, something he avoids. South Node in
Capricorn and in the second house is square the Moon (as, of course,
is the north node in Cancer) showing some unfinished business from
past lives regarding pride, taking things too personally, and
particularly with women. His need to learn to delegate is strong,
and I'd doubt that he'd easily delegate to women.
Sun conjunct Mercury in Capricorn in the second can be implacable.
But, the two things that bother me the most are first, the Sun and
Mercury are square Neptune. Albeit, this can be the mark of a poet
or artist with a highly charged imagination, but in ordinary men, it
is an over-active imagination that can be very deceptive or
confused. With Scorpio rising, it is questionable. Plus, Saturn will
be stationing square his Neptune much of the early part of next
year. This would indicate vacillation on where he
stands.
Secondly, Mars is square Jupiter which means, literally, that he can
act with over-confidence and premature judgment. With Pluto
transiting his Mars much of next year, he'll appear to be very
intensely adamant about issues, but not follow through later. Again,
with those indications of personal pride and the secrecy of Scorpio
rising, I'd have a hard time voting for this gentleman. There are
other difficult character traits, such as Venus opposite Pluto and
Saturn opposite Sun and Mercury. But, I think this is enough to show
that Wesley Clark can be hard to get to know or trust. He isn't sure
of
himself enough to lead a country as powerful as this, but can appear
to be so.
As a footnote, I want to reiterate what I've said so often. People
are born with issues to confront and transform. This is in no way a
personal judgment about his spiritual growth, but when we are
electing a person who will lead the whole collective destiny of
millions of people, we need to look at what those issues are and
whether or not we wish to have them imposed on us as a whole.
