Relating Double Scorpio Energy :
Analyzing Hillary Rodham Clinton
_____________________________________________________

The debate is ongoing on whether or not Hillary Clinton is a Scorpio with a Scorpio Rising, or a Scorpio with a Gemini Rising. For the sake of this article and because I believe it to be so, we will assume Mrs. Clinton has a Scorpio Rising in her chart.

I also am a Scorpio with a Scorpio Rising with some of the same placements in my chart as Hillary Clinton, and so my objective here is to give the reader a personal inner view of what it is like to be a double Scorpio and how people see and relate to this intense energy. In the public eye, Hillary has been described in many ways: ruthless, calculating, emotionless, and "Machiavellian". According to many people, including Bill O'Reilly of Fox News, Hillary has a very polarizing personality. You either love her or hate her and there is no middle ground. I can say that as a double Scorpio I have been described and viewed in this way by many. As we know, the face that others see you as is your rising sign and this is somewhat of a problem for Hillary. As a Scorpio you are very direct and straight to the point, while others see you as insensitive and cold. The truth is that as a double Scorpio you in fact are VERY emotional but will not show these intense emotions on the surface. We prefer to show the calm collected side of our personalities even if below the surface we are besieged with turbulent emotions. It is not in our nature to bend or break and we hesitate to show the world just how much we do feel it.

For Hillary, in her career in politics it would not do her much good to be the woman on a mission if she were to break down and cry at everything that tugged at her heart strings. She knows as well as I that it would only make her appear unstable and too emotional to lead and it would hurt her career in the process. Let me point out that Hillary is not only a double Scorpio but she also has the Moon in Pisces. She is incredibly more sensitive and caring than people give her credit for. When I saw Hillary shed a tear on television all I heard about it was how calculated and "put-on" it was. Well, I believe that the truth is yes, she did know that showing emotion at that time would help her, we think through every move in detail, BUT that did not make the emotion she was showing fake. As I stated before she IS very emotional as a person (according to her chart). You see now why she can't win for losing. If she shows emotion it is seen as contrived, and if she doesn't she is cold and untouchable. "You will never know the real Hillary", I have heard someone remark about her. Actually as a double of any sign you do know the real person, more so than someone with a different sun sign and rising sign. We put it out there as it is love it or loathe it. Although we may hide emotions our character is as in your face as it can be. What you see is what you get.

Hillary did in fact chair the Arkansas Educational Committee and she co-founded Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families. I believe that her dedication to watching out for our children is but one thing that truly shows her heart, that some would claim she lacks. It is true that as a double Scorpio you can choose to exude either the negative attributes of the sign, or the positive, depending on the morals of the individual. I will not say that as a politician that Hillary Clinton has never done anything shady to advance her career, in fact I have never even met her and wouldn't have the slightest idea if she had done something questionable in her long career. What I do know is that politics is a dirty game no matter how you look at it, and you can't run with wolves if you happen to be a bunny.

I know that as a double Scorpio I am direct, passionate, intense, determined, and impatient. On a lighter note I am deeply loyal, trustworthy, dependable, and sincere. Each individual with a double Scorpio energy will embody a different mixture of positive and negative traits depending on their own personal morals, beliefs, and goals in life. Whatever traits a double Scorpio projects you can be sure of one thing, they will ALL be intense. When you have such an intense energy it is like feeling that you have a torrent of power that needs to be directed at a single cause and no matter what you will do everything in your power to make sure that your goal is met. In Hillary's case she may not end up with the nomination let alone the Presidency, but she will not stop until there is no other option but to concede. I hear people everyday call for her to throw in the towel and as she has said she will not quit. For a woman with such an intense personality and drive, there is no way she will stop at something she has clearly worked her entire life to achieve, unless she is forced out with absolutely no other option. Is it my mistake or is that the kind of leader this country needs?

I can't say I agree with everything Senator Clinton supports, but the sheer fight in her and will to drive forward is something to be admired no less. If you have someone constantly turning around in circles to see what everyone else is thinking before deciding what THEY believe, you'll never climb a mountain, and certainly never move one! The fact that she COULD be the first female President in history is an indication that she has persevered through insurmountable odds her entire life just to be in that position. Such is the energy of a double Scorpio, when we feel strongly enough about something we truly want to do, there will be nothing to stand in our way at least in our minds. It is one thing to talk of this energy and drive, and another to feel it. Hillary Clinton has overcome tremendous odds over and over again, so whether you feel she is a strong leader and a role model for women, or the devil incarnate, it is really irrelevant because the facts speak for themselves.

Being a Double Scorpio is a hard thing sometimes as people will not relate to you on many levels and so many reject you merely because of your strong personality and views. Nevertheless, I can't help but feel that this great energy is a gift and if put to use in a constructive, selfless way, it can help to change many things and help many people along the way. If one rises above the ranks of Scorpion and achieves the status of the Eagle in their journey, it will not only benefit the double Scorpio but also all those that they choose to fight for. Living everyday with the thought of helping people is the best one can do with their lives in my opinion. I truly think Hillary is where she is today because of this desire to achieve what she feels is right in this country. Her views may not be right for you, they may not even be right for me, but at least she has some direction.

It is no secret that the Scorpio energy strives for power, of course we do. We believe in what we think to be right, but what kinds of changes can you make if you are powerless? Don't misjudge my opinion of Hillary wanting to help and change things as me saying she doesn't care for the power that comes with being President of the United States of America, we certainly do have the ego and it will always come in to play as that is what it is to be Scorpio, confident and self assured like no other. Assuming you are not in the self destructive, pessimistic, dark phase of the Scorpio persona that is experienced by many. The double Scorpio influence is very strong and complex on many levels, I would just hope that if you know one, or ever meet one, that you hang around awhile until they put down their sword. You may see that you have met the most loyal, authentic, sincere friend of your life. I promise we are not as always as mean as we may look, unless of course you have done something that has stung us, in which case we have no problem stinging back with twice the intensity you started with, but such is being a Scorpio.
