Transits for Bill Clinton.
I'm just going to look at three events for Bill Clinton. The three Primary Directions of 1974, 1978 and 1999. The first two I have identified with his two election challenges. The unsucessful one of 1974 and the second being the successful attempt at the Governorship of Arkansas in 1978.
For the first election in 1974 Bill Clinton had two transits of his first house Jupiter, the first by Mars, just under a month before the election and then by Mercury, the ruler of his twelfth house (and therefore accidentally an unfortunate planet, two days before the election. Both these transits support the flavour of the Primary Direction
In his successful bid for the Governorship of Arkansas in November 1978 Bill Clinton had a sextile of Jupiter to his Ascendant three days before the election and went on to sextile his Venus three days after the election. Also transiting Venus had trined his MC just over a week before the election..
Finally his Sun to MC Primary Direction in January 1999. This coincided with the beginning of his trial in the Senate and promised not only a successful outcome but also an enhanced future. Here there are several transits pointing in different directions. He had undergone a transiting Saturn opposition to natal Jupiter a few weeks before, At the time of the Primary Direction was supposed to take effect, Transiting Mars was about to conjoin natal Jupiter. Both of these would point to an unfortunate outcome or at least greatly reduce the benefit of the Primary Direction. However again at the time for the PD Transiting Venus was conjunct to his Ascendant, and the Moon, ruler of his MC had just transited natal Venus. and would go on to transit natal Jupiter.
Modern Astrologers would not place any real weight on the transiting Moon and I don't see it as a powerful transit by any means, it does support the transiting Venus and together they support the PD. Clearly though this will not be an easy time for Bill Clinton.
Now I have been selective here but the principles behind the approach are that Transits only have significance as support for Primary Directions, Profections and/or Solar Returns. These transits appear to fit in to that approach.
