Clinton or Richardson?

Barack Obama is currently interviewing for Secretary of State. His two top picks are Hillary Clinton, Senator of New York, and Bill Richardson, Governor of New Mexico. Astrologically this is going to be a difficult choice as both applicants for the job were born within a couple of weeks of each other. They are both Scorpio Suns born in 1947 so they have that Mars-Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Leo.

Both have progressed Mars Retrograde in Virgo. I don't know what that means but will just note it here. Mars is the planet of War. A natal Leo Mars is strong on the Honor thing but the progression into Virgo is sort of a very long lesson on observing how people fight.

Clinton is an early Scorpio Sun at 3 degrees. Her progressed Sun is now at 5 Capricorn. Richardson is a late Scorpio Sun at 23 degrees. His progressed Sun is now at 25 Capricorn.

Clinton's Sun is at the end of Pisces somewhere. If she has Gemini Rising her Moon is on the Aries Point. Richardson's Moon is either in Sagittarius or Capricorn so it may also be on an Aries Point.

I don't know what either applicant's Rising Sign is. I sort of assume that Hillary is a Gemini Riser because I am a Gemini Riser and that's as much logic as I can put on to anything right now. Bill Richardson might have Libra Rising because he has dimples, but he doesn't have gorgeous hands which is something I've noticed that Libra Risers have. I could very well be wrong about that.

I can't read anymore into this. This is Obama's Gemini Moon running in two directions at once. May the person with the most techno savvy win and I'm not sure that's a Scorpio thing.
