Timothy Geithner's Sun in Leo (August 18, 1961; New York, NY; time unknown) conjoins Uranus and forms a quincunx to Saturn. As Secretary of the Treasury, he will be charged with creating innovative financial programs (Uranus) to resuscitate the economy while attempting to safeguard existing institutions (Saturn). The tension between his Saturn and Uranus indicates the periodic need for sudden and unpredictable changes in strategy.
With Mercury conjunct Uranus and quincunx Jupiter Geithner is gifted with an intellectual curiosity and broad-minded worldview, one that has allowed him to understand and foresee the collapse of the financial industry built on vulnerable hedge fund derivatives. Geithner's Mars in early Libra is now being activated by a square from transiting Pluto, indicating he's working on an immediate and comprehensive action plan.
Hillary Clinton (October 26, 1947; 8:02 am; Chicago, IL) was born with an exact conjunction of Mars and Pluto in Leo, giving her a warrior's fighting spirit, especially when she's on a noble mission. This Mars-Pluto combo is right on Obama's Leo Sun, which helps explain their frequent heated interactions. However, designating her as Secretary of State is astrologically synergistic, since her Mars-Pluto is in the Ninth House of Foreign Affairs.
Ms. Clinton is bound to be an international star in this new role. As Pluto enters Capricorn it will trine her Virgo Midheaven, bringing her into the transformational situations that are restructuring our global village. Her progressed Sun also trines her Midheaven, so that between Pluto and her progressed Sun, she is becoming empowered in ways that she imagined she would be as president.
