Update of Election Transits:
Primary North Carolina and Indiana: 6 May 2008: We predict a decisive win for Obama: This has the transits exactly reversed for the two candidates. Hillary has Moon going down whereas Obama has it moving up and training his Jupiter (exactly opposite to Pennsylvania!). This will really propel Obama ahead and in the eyes of the super delegates.
Primaries: Pennsylvania 22 April 2008: We predict a win for Hilary who has Moon moving above the horizon and conjunct her Jupiter (good public response and happiness). Obama has Moon going down the horizon and Mars opp Saturn.
What nobody seems to be talking about in the election are the major differences between Obama and Hillary and McCain. Obama did not vote for Iraq in the first place. This one decision would have saved the USA more than a Trillion dollars and billions of dollars still being spent every month, as well as thousands of innocent lives in Iraq and more than 4000 soldiers. You can put all the programs (health, welfare, education etc.) on one side and they all pale in comparison to the money being spent in Iraq. Hillary also gave a comment of being able to "obliterate Iran with nuclear weapons"! This is not what the masses need and she is only speaking for the "enemies of Iran" and in the interest of the USA. This is not the language of a President but in the same vein as John McCain with his "100 years war"! Obama, on the other hand, would start the dialog with Iran, who is well within their right to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes (within their right of the Treaty) instead of threatening them with nuclear bombs like Hillary.
McCain is no different in his war rhetoric. Do these words sound very Presidential or diplomatic and is this what the world needs now? Changing the lyrics on a Beach Boys song, Senator McCain made them "bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran." Incidentally, McCain was the one who authored the congressional act that gave Bush the power to invade Iraq in the first place.
There is no comparison between the inspirational ideals of Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton. her chart is like a terrorist or freedom fighter depending on whose side you are on, extremely radical and one sided. Obama, has intelligent leadership abilities and will reach out to everyone for a consensus and compromise on major issues.
Obama is not financed by oil or drug companies like McCain or Hillary, which is another extremely important point. We know where media bias is and why but Pluto in Capricorn is turning the tables and will undermine the whole big government old structure completely and transform politics forever. This is not the time for old folks anymore and the young generation is going to start making a huge difference and mostly because of Obama.
Detailed Analysis
Here is the chart of one of the most inspirational reformers we have seen in a long time. Barak Obama is a perfect combination of JFK and Martin Luther King in terms of his ideals and oratory skills except that he is much more sensitive and nurturing than either JFK or MLK. His best asset is his intelligent leadership qualities and his ability to delegate work to others, give credit where it is deserved, and look for areas which bring people together instead of dividing them.
Hillary's biggest challenge, as we had mentioned several years ago, is to get a good team together as she is too controlling and finds it difficult to trust anyone. In Obama's case, he is great at selecting the right team members and has more trust in them in carrying out their duties. Without interfering in their work, he allows them to do their best for goal which he defines in much broader terms, leaving the nit picky details to others.
Jupiter in his 3rd house (communication) opp to Mercury in Leo in the 9th house is the hallmark of a born orator and a great preacher. Having Cancer and Leo on his 9th house, he feels very close to places of worship which bring the beggar and the king together, and Leo in the 9th also shows that he will be famous for his inspirational speeches.
Venus in the 8th in Cancer will help him in raising the money especially to feed the poor and the needy. Venus trine to Neptune makes him very romantic and gives him a seductive aura.
Mars trines to Saturn gives him a lot of stamina and endurance and Mars trine Jupiter gives him sudden bursts of energy and the ability to take chances in life.
Palmistry: Obama is left handed (Saturn in his 3rd house in Capricorn) which makes him more methodical and also gives him some discipline as well. Mercury in Leo shows his oratory skills
and the ability to think big and Saturn reflects his more realistic and long range planning. His Head line is separate from the Life Line just like Bill Clinton and Oprah Winfrey, which makes them all very positive and having faith in themselves and in their ability to motivate others. He is very confident and does not really care for other's opinions when he feels he is right. All dynamic speakers are born with the Head Line separate from the Life Line.
Mercury sq Neptune makes him like a Mensa person who makes misjudgments once his emotions get involved. However, some of the best politicians in the world are born with it. In fact, for the media in the West, you almost need it because as they say "it takes one to know on"! Alexander Putin of Russia and Ahmednijad of Iran are both born with a Mercury Neptune aspect. The ability to justify uncreditable things and trusting the wrong people is what these individuals have to work on.
Both Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton have a Mercury Jupiter aspect which gives them a philosophical bent but she is more quietly persuasive than having the oratory charm of Obama or her husband Bill Clinton.
The Moon Pluto square in his chart gives him the ability to destroy to recreate but also adds to the resentment from his early childhood. His mother must have been a strong personality and unfortunately there seems to be some resentment towards the father. This is the only part in his chart
What are his Chances of the U.S. Presidency? Saturn in the tenth house is a very strong indication of power and is authority and when most people are at the peak of their power and have excellent public response. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, has Saturn just starting to move up and will not have the support she needs.
Obama does have Saturn squaring his Moon but only till about summer. This is a rather depleting transit and ages people but will also make him emotionally tough. It often coincides with some sadness, setbacks in the family and events which generally pull you down. Late this year till next summer is a dangerous period for him as Saturn conjuncts his Mars and Uranus opposes it. This aspects often coincides with authority conflicts and Mars-Uranus is a classic aspect of freak accidents and guns etc. but it may even be the sign that he is winning the Presidency and facing a lot of prejudice etc.
After 2009 or 2010 onwards, we see Hillary Clinton her rising in terms of public support just after some health crisis with Bill Clinton.
Unless the election is stolen by the McCain backers, Obama is the clear winner here. Unfortunately we don't know his time of birth but his policies are exactly opposite to what we have predicted for the world. Almost ten years ago, we predicted that the troops will b back or to start withdrawing after Nov. 2008 and that is exactly what Obama's timing seems to coincide with. McCain has a very dangerous streak about him and being a prisoner of war for five years certainly does not give a winner's attitude but may have added to his dangerous stance of wanting to increase the tension in the Middle East. Lieberman supporting him is another red herring as he is the one who originally started the bill to allow the President to go to war with Iraq.
The most important thing that Barak Obama brings to the US election is his energy, his appeal to the youth instead of just senior citizens, his far reaching goals, and even his childhood which has given him tremendous amount of empathy and compassion. America is treated with scorn everywhere in the world and Obama is probably one of the very few politicians who could change that view by doing exactly what he says..
