Creativity Meets Common Sense

Barack Obama was elected on November 4, the day that Saturn in finely tuned Virgo exactly opposed Uranus in spiritual Pisces. The planets of order and change made an Earth sandwich in the first of a series of five face-offs between now and the summer of 2010. Obama is the great Uranian surprise, the unexpected, out-of-the-box experience. Yet his success comes as much from his Saturnian competence as his lofty vision. He promises a government that works after a long series of failures (9/11, Katrina, Iraq, the environment, the economy) presided over by the outgoing administration. Still for those inspired by Obama, we can thank Bush for failing so well and making change a necessity.

Barack Obama is a charismatic Leo with a cool Aquarius Ascendant (Rising sign). His Moon, planet of emotions, is in adaptable Gemini, but it gains weight from a stressful square to potent Pluto. His Saturn, strong in its ambitious home sign Capricorn, is enriched by a generous trine with active Mars in efficient Virgo. This is the key astrological signature of Obama’s organizational skills. Any favorable alignment between solid Saturn and energetic Mars provides practical power. Obama’s trine in two masterful Earth signs is authority in action. Nevertheless, the strength of Barack’s Saturn is equaled by the originality of his Uranus. This inventive outer planet is the ruler (key planet) of his Aquarius Ascendant and is closely conjoined with the karmic North Node of the Moon, ensuring that he will never bore us. Congratulations to Barack Obama and to us for having the wisdom to elect him. Welcome to the 21st Century.
