Most of the top Indian astrologers- name anybody and you have it—that Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton will win the nomination and also the Presidency.

Trust us as you have on al the occasions in the past – barring one (click—right/wrong). We have a view on the development. But before that lets discuss the two personalities.

Born on October 26, 1947 in Illinois, Chicago, Hillary Diane Rodham rose to become the 42nd First Lady of the USA. The wife of two-term US President Bill Clinton carved out a niche for herself and proved herself by winning the toughest Senate seat in New York twice.
We can predict with complete responsibility that she has the right combinations for fighting Presidential polls repeat fighting Presidential polls in 2008. She is capable, dynamic, has mass appeal and above all, has qualities needed to become the Head of world's most powerful country. Clinton will be the first woman in U.S. history with a realistic chance of being elected President of the USA. Hillary Clinton is the first woman who seem to have a good chance of winning a nomination. At present she is facing a crucial competition from party colleagues Senator Barack Obama.

Our assessment: Both, Hillary and Obama, have the natal planetary promises in their charts that facilitate their ambitions. But Hillary's chart is not equipped with the same advantage as those prevailing in Barack Obama's chart though both have the same ascendent & strong planetary placements.

An analysis of her horoscope shows the following: With Libra as ascendant, she has 3 planets in her ascendant. Ascendant lord is in conjunction with Sun & Mercury which makes her a women of determination and a born winner. This also makes her valiant, bold & also gives her name & fame. She has Moon, the lord of her 10th house of profession placed in 5th house, which gives her name & fame and ability to get what she desires. Moon being in the constellation of Jupiter standing for justice made her take up the legal profession.

She has two debilitated planets in her horoscope Mars & Sun. But luckily for her, the debilitation is cancelled in both cases, leading to Neech Bhang Raj Yoga. At present, she is running the Major period of Venus & sub period of Saturn. Venus is well placed in her ascendant in it's own sign. Saturn is placed in her 10th house of profession. Saturn, a yogkarak planet for her, gives her a strong period ahead. However, there is a problem too. Since Saturn does not have directional strength in this house & also since Saturn is not well placed in her D-10 chart of profession, this seems to create hurdles in her race for the White House.

Barack Obama also has Libra ascendant. His Ascendant lord Venus placed in his 9th house of luck makes him Lucky. Saturn a yogkarak planet for him & a planet of democracy signifying public life is posited in 4th house along with Jupiter. His 10th house of profession has 2 planets-Sun & Mercury -forming Budh Aditya yoga. Sun, the planet signifying power & authority has directional strength in this house. Also the lord of profession, Moon is placed exalted in 8th house & is in the constellation of Sun, again a planet of power, authority & signifies Government. Moon is also forming Gajakesari Yoga with Jupiter. All this suggest his potential to emerge as a leader and ideological facet of his professional character. Though Jupiter is debilitated in his birth chart but in D-9 chart it goes in it's own sign in conjunction with moon- again forming Gaj –Kesari Yog.

At present he is running the period of Jupiter-Venus. Both the planets are well placed in his horoscope. Jupiter is in the constellation of sun. Sun is also Amatya-karak for his horoscope. Venus his ascendant lord placed in 9th house makes him lucky. So his running period is also good which will give him success and fame. Again, quite appropriately during the main period of Jupiter he will be running the sub period of Sun after August 2008. That will be the most blissful period of his life that can favor him with the highest political power.

But one must remember Hillary is a Karmayogi. She is a big fighter and fight until the end. Obama is no match to her personality. The horoscope favours Obama, stars favour Obama, luck favour Obama, time favours Obama after August 2008 and the rise is there in his graph. But Hillary is not the one to give up.
Our prediction: Obama will have to work harder than Hillary to get the democratic nomination. Will he ?
