According to Wikipedia, Barack Hussein Obama II, the junior senator from Illinois and the presidential nominee of the Democratic Party, was born August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. Earlier this year he published his birth certificate which showed a time of birth of 7:24 pm. A quick synopsis of Barack Obama tells us that he is the first African American to be nominated by a major political party for president. He is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School where he served as president of the Harvard Law Review. Obama worked as a community organizer in Chicago and practiced as a civil rights attorney before serving three terms in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. He taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. Following an unsuccessful bid for a seat in the US House of Representatives in 2000 he announced his campaign for the U.S. Senate in January 2003. After a primary victory in March 2004, Obama delivered the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004. He was elected to the Senate in November 2004 with 70 percent of the vote. Obama announced his presidential campaign in February 2007, and was formally nominated at the 2008 Democratic National Convention with Delaware senator Joe Biden as his running mate.
The first thing I see in this chart is that the Sun, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus have all progressed to form powerful aspects with the midheaven or top of the horoscope. That is 40% of the entire horoscope including the all powerful Sun forming an aspect with a point that deals with ones aim in life, status, honor, fame and reputation. 40%!!! In addition, the progressed Sun and progressed Jupiter are each exactly sixty degrees from the midheaven. According to Reinhold Ebertine, one of the greatest astrologers of the past 50 years, one could interpret the natal midheaven at the midpoint of progressed Sun and Jupiter as "luck in ones enterprises" . Sounds like a good aspect to have on election day. And there is more. Let us not fail to notice the progressed position of his Moon very near the ascendant. Because the Moon is the fastest moving celestial body it will move through the progressed horoscope at a rate of about one degree per month. Therefore it will complete one revolution around the horoscope approximately every 28 years. In Barack Obama's life the Moon has made one and three quarters revolutions around his horoscope and is now very near his ascendant. In fact, it is only 2 degrees away from forming a conjunction with his ascendant. At one degree per month it will be there two months from November 4th or in early January 2009. This is very significant. In early January is when the new president will raise his hand and swear to uphold the constitution as he takes official possession of the presidency of the United States of America. It is basic astrology to say that when the Moon, by progression, conjuncts the ascendant a new cycle begins in the life. It is an important time of change. A change in ones immediate environment or residence, a change in ones relationships and a change in their position in life accompany's this aspect. So, with progressed Sun, the most powerful celestial body in any horoscope, Jupiter, the most beneficial planet, Venus the next most beneficial planet and Uranus, his ruling planet, all indicating the opportunity of a lifetime for advancement in ones aim in life, predicting a win for Barack Obama, by his horoscope is actually rather easy.
There are other systems of prediction but they all have the same outcome. Barack Obama will become the 44th president of the United States of America. In addition, astrologers have been aware for some time that the planets Saturn and Uranus will form an opposition on November 04,2008. At its core Uranus wants to break free from the restrictions and limitations of the past. (Saturn) For that single reason, virtually every astrologer has for some time now said that whoever is running from the opposition party will win this election. The opposition party is currently the Democratic Party. In other words, we all agree that Barack Obama is going to be the next president of the United States. But all is not good as Americas says good by to the Bush era and hello to our first African American president. The economy is in the tank and property values are circling the drain. The current party in charge will be decimated by the election and will very much want to get back the power they just lost. The immediate future is actually rather bleak because no matter who wins, the horoscope for the time of the Inauguration, which speaks of the 4 year term of the president, is, at best, stressful. The winner of this election will not enjoy an easy presidency. But, if ever we needed a brilliant leader, one with vision, a strong work ethic and the audacity of hope, it is now. To President Obama, circumstances and the horoscope of your inauguration compels me to say, good luck Mr. President. Your going to need it.
Now that the introductions are out of the way let's take a look at his horoscope to see if simple, basic astrology can tell us if Barack Obama will be the next president of the United States. I am going to progress his horoscope using one of astrology's most common predictive techniques, Secondary Progressions. In Secondary Progressions the astrologer looks up the position of the planets for the day of birth. Then they count one day for each year of life and note the positions of the planets for that day. So, in Secondary Progressions the formula is one day after birth equals one year of life. This predictive technique is based on the idea that one revolution of the earth (one day) has a correlation with one cycle of the earth around the Sun. (one year) Astrologers like to say that the microcosm reflects the macrocosm. By this system we could examine the 22nd year of life by looking at the positions of the planets 22 days after birth and comparing them to the positions of the planets at birth. The 34th year of life would correlate with the 34th day after birth and so on. Because we are looking at small amounts of time, the planets don't move too very far from their birth or natal positions. But when they have moved enough to make aspects to the birth planets, the effects can be very strong. Very strong indeed. In addition, we can look at the current position of the planets, called the transits, and compare them to both the natal and the progressed planets. On your right is the progressed horoscope of Barack Obama. The inner horoscope is his birth chart and the outer circle indicates the positions of his planets progressed to November 04, 2008.
This story will demonstrate the power of a
predictive system called Secondary Progressions.
