Obama Eclipsed?
July 22nd, 2008 by Jeff JawerThe next New Moon is a Total Eclipse of the Sun on August 1 at 9 degrees of Leo. This is within three degrees of Barack Obama’s Sun. One traditional interpretation of any Solar Eclipse is the descent of a leader. Since it’s on Obama’s Sun, I’ve been asked if this means that he’s in trouble. While a superficial look offers this possibility, digging more deeply into the eclipse chart suggests that it’s unlikely to be damaging to the candidate. The reason is that it’s a pretty benign eclipse. There are no difficult planetary aspects (angles) to the eclipse point to intensify its effects. In fact, Venus, the positive planet of attraction, will be very close to Obama’s karmic Lunar North Node and inventive Uranus, offering a chance for positive surprises. Examining other transits (current positions of planets) in relationship to Obama’s birth chart reveal that he’s passed through a potentially dangerous opposition of Uranus to his Mars on July 10 without ill effect. His next major astro-event is strict Saturn’s conjunction to his Pluto on July 25, arguably his toughest transit between now and the election. If he gets through that one, he will be in a strong position to win in November.
Individual transits, including eclipses, are never the “cause” of an issue. They are only triggers to the larger patterns present in the birth chart. Clearly, Obama is not invincible; dreamy Neptune’s 90-degree square is the most persistent challenge to his Sun. Difficult transits from this planet, therefore, are the most likely indicators of serious problems. An annoying quincunx (150-degrees) from Neptune to his Mars, the action planet, in late August may mark a misstep, perhaps caused by fatigue or deception. This angle, however, tends to be more indicative of a slip than a fall.

I Hope He Doesn’t Die. The Guy Is Black, Big Whoop. Nimm, Once He Gets Busted For Cocaine Use..Maybe..
Anyway, I’m Really Glad I Did Not Miss Today’s Planet Pulse. It Was Among The Best.

That’s good to know. I really like Obama and he seems to be able to perservere through anything…

Well Rick, this prediction is quite promising for the politician regardless of the colour of the skin but the knowledge and ability with credential and hope he is building in people’s mind is what is needed. Whoever God blessed no human has a power to deter his/her progress.
Oboma is black but he just surprisingly win the nomination from a white iron lady to carry the democrates flag to the white house for the first time in history. Rick you are not playing nice guy here because if you do, how do expect people to believe your analyses as something which is there from one’s birth time.

Now I am frightened. My ex-husband’s birthday was 8/4/52 and he was a problem for himself and others. He had a hard time with the truth, didn’t think any of the rules were for him, but he sure had a lot of friends. He was mister personality. What else is in Obama’s chart. My first husband was Virgo, 8/25/46, so now I’m looking at McCain kinda funny too. That husband was verbally and physically abusive. I’m Pisces, so you can see how I fit into the mix. I’d like to see both their charts. Do you have them?
