Today, September 3, 2004, it was announced that Pres. Bill Clinton was in the hospital to have quadruple heart by pass surgery. Such a shock! For a man so vibrant and charismatic. But....is it???

Clinton's voice has a strained, tight, almost high pitch. That's an indication of heart problems. Right now, Pluto is moving in to oppose his Uranus...and Uranus can stir up electrical activity and the heart has electrical elements. I knew during his presidency that there was a 'heart issue' going on....and it doesn't have to be physical, it can be emotional. And if physical, it can be just because one of his totem animals represents the heart meridian, and exhibited in his personality....yet the heart needs to be taken care of; exercising, eating right, etc. as we all know.

Mr. Clinton was on the "Daily Show with Jon Stewart" recently, and he sat there, being interviewed, being quiet, and rather subdued. When it was time for him to answer a question, he did so with more energy; then he became quiet again. Little did we know what was happening.

It has been written that William Jefferson Clinton was born on August 19, 1946, at 8:51 am, CST in Hope, Arkansas. There are also other speculations of 7:30 am and maybe 6:24 am. 7:30 would give him a Virgo rising, and would move the Mars conjunct Neptune (blunts ambition) farther down in the first house.

9/6/04 - I received an email from a friend, giving me info on John McDougall, who's website is http://www.nealhendrickson.com/mcdougall/2004lbn/040904news.htm reveals that he doesn't believe Mr. Clinton needs the surgery; that it can be handled differently.....small consolation now that he's in surgery at this moment. He goes on to say that the bypass surgery can affect his brain and give him brain damage so that as time goes along he'll have trouble with names and numbers. It can also cause possibly, erectile dysfunction.

The heart meridian in Chinese Medicine, not only governs the heart, but the brain as well. So it is quite appropriate that the brain is involved in this procedure. The heart meridian controls short term memory, while the kidney meridian controls long term memory. Of course, we in the holistic, metaphysical field might suggest Reiki, Regenesis, or other forms of alternative, complementary healing so these things have a lesser chance of happening, or not at all. If it were me, I would see an acupuncturist and take the herbs along with it to assist.

Our prayers go out to Mr. Clinton, for a swift recovery. He has a Leo sun, and Taurus moon, like my late son, and so I have a special place in my heart for him.
