We have Already given a full analysis of the election below but would like to mention a very important event in his life. Obama was supposed to get some disappointment before the good news on 4th Nov 2008. Moon conjunctions his Saturn in the morning on 4th Nov and on 3rd evening, his grandmother passed away while Moon is already within a few degrees to his Saturn and going into his 12th house.
Mars in Scorpio in his 9th house also indicates hearing about life and death news from long distance and conflicts because of its timing. We feel that this will make his chances of winning even more so as the disappointment is losing his grandmother and not the election.
In the evening of 4th Nov 2008, he has the Moon Jupiter conjunction which I talked about in my radio show just a few days ago. This is a hallmark of happy news but also a very spiritual aspect. This will be the news that he has won basically a landslide!
(Updated Oct 2008)
US Election Update: Just a quick note to remind our readers that our prediction about a Barak Obama landslide seems to be coming true. We made this even before he was nominated as the Democratic candidate so his time of birth is probably right. We still see Obama as essentially a two time president (he will still have a few years public response ahead of him after that. The only think is the election fraud and we cannot rule this out although both McCain and Sarah Palin have less than on term worth of transits helping them. John McCain has some major health issues in the next two years but others are pulling the strings, then he is just a puppet and his transits won't be that important.
Barak Obama, on the other hand, is much more in control of his destiny, even though he is going to be under tremendous pressure to go with the wishes of the neo cons and the defense and military machine. His only greatest weakness is the ability to justify things and rationalize but overhaul, except for his Afghanistan policy, his chart shows him like a preacher and a statesman. He also best represents the major changes that we had predicted from end of Nov.2008 onwards in terms of free energy, mass education and the whole government being completely redefined. The input from the common person will increase and grassroots organizations will be the key to Obama success. He is not only a politician but a mass reformer and 2009 is a fantastic year for him except that his danger does not finish till end of 2009 as well. he cannot afford to take any chances with his life and must not try to tempt his luck at all.
We are sure that John Kerry had won the election but George Bush had one term still left and the fraud in the voting machines and the powerful forces behind him helped his coming back as a puppet of their uncreditable actions.
McCain and Netanyahu are a sure recipe for more wars as the only solution. Netanyahu has very positive transits in 2009 and will redefine his Likud party to make a comeback. As it is, although he has a very good legal mind and a sense of fairness, he will completely use his rational mind to get billions out of the US and continue his rhetoric and against Iran. Ironically, he has Mercury in Libra like Ahmedinijad and can actually get along well with him if he really decided to bring peace in the Middle East, but that is not his agenda. Most people don't realize that his brother was a commando who died in Entebbe operation. This may have radicalized him and using his intellect and legal mind, he is using it all in a very one sided solution with no feelings for human suffering.
Barak Obama has the ability to be a stabilizing force in the dangerous world created by GWB and company. Along with his wife, Michelle Obama, who can be emotionally tough but has strong principles, Obama and Michelle represent an excellent yin and yang balance. There are some major geological events happening within the next three years which endanger the entire earth as a whole and require the inspirational leadership and charisma of a warm and balanced individual who has taken the best from different religions and has a burning desire to make a difference in the lives of others. We feel that leader is definitely Barak Obama.
Mass Reform and Technology Revolution in 2009: We will keep you abreast with any new developments. The interesting astrological truth is that Jupiter is moving in the sign of Aquarius from Jan 2009 which actually favours both Obama (Aquarius rising) and Sarah Palin (Sun, Mercury and Venus in Aquarius). Internet social interaction programs and mass communication through mediums like the YouTube will incorporate the next generation features. Voice recognition will finally achieve its best results by end of 2009 and EM technology will be used for weapons as well as to provide free energy. Unique solutions for 3D TV will be introduced (possible the first TVs also ready) and HDTV will become much more common.
With Jupiter in Aquarius (high tech and inventions) and Saturn in Virgo (standards and precision), 2009 will be one of the most important years for major revolutions in sound, light, and free energy. Some of the most beautiful and inspirational software will be introduced which brings film to the desktop and we see a much more Mac like thinking for the PC world as well. We see a ten times gain in resolution, much more efficient way of storing data, satellite channels, fields of astronomy and optics, and inventions which are totally futuristic. Mass education will be much more emphasized throughout 2009 and video conferencing, broadband over internet, possible even a new form of energy using electro-magnetic field and more efficient use of solar panels and solar technology.
Nightmare Period for Different Age Groups:End Dec 2008 to end Jan 2009 is a very stressful and obsessive period for the 30's and 70's age group. You will be prone to mental stress, false conclusions and even danger if you are not careful. Your immune system will feel depleted so pace yourself and avoid dark alleys. You will also have to be careful of lung related problems.
Those born in late 40s, the 50s, and 80s will have the nightmare period of scandals and immune system being down from Aug. to Sep. 2008. Avoid getting into fraudulent deals and taking shortcuts and bypassing the law and be more selective of your friendships. Mars being in Cancer during these periods, you will have to be specially careful of acidity in the stomach and food poisoning. The 80s age group is particularly susceptible to skin, teeth and bone infections and kneecap problems.
Those born in the 60s and Children born in the 1990s will be more accident prone in Oct. 2008 and their immune system down. Watch the head area and violence as well as food poisoning for children and be extra careful near the ocean, lakes and swimming polls. Drinking and driving is particularly dangerous now for the older generation who will also be prone to scandals and fraud. This applies to the age group of Senator Obama, Governor Palin, President Ahmadinijad of Iran, Bill Clinton and George Bush (very susceptible to stress related illnesses now).
Mars in Scorpio (Violence and Political Assassinations): Mars goes into the sign of Scorpio from 4th Oct till 15th Nov. 2008. This happens to be a very dangerous period and the last two weeks of Oct are most critical for the 1960's age group including Senator Obama, Governor Palin and Iran's President Ahmadinijad.
The rhetoric about Iran's nuclear ambitions will be at its peak again during this period and sarcastic remarks and vindictive events will be used to try to incite Iran again. however, we fell that Iran as always will be able to handle this with diplomacy but we do see warships being moved and missiles being readied. This is a dangerous period for the whole world and the neocons especially will try to exploit events to try to engage Iran and turn things against russia. Iraq and Afghanistan and Pakistan will again be a flash point of bombings and violence but all this seems to finish by mid Nov.2008.
In Senator Obama's chart, Mars is in his 9th house (legal matters) and moving into his 10th house indicates a major emphasis and restructuring in his career. This is what commanders and leaders are born with (what he is going through by transit).
In Senator McCain's chart, he has Mars transiting his 2nd house (money aspect) and his emphasis will be fear about the economy to distract away from the failing policies of the Republicans. It also indicates that his actions now could be very destructive to the economy and using fear tactics, he may lead to the path of another war as well.
Financial Market Bailout: Pluto (radical changes) in Sagittarius (stock market and speculation) seems to be the main reason for the whole mess in Wall Street.
In our May 2008 issue, we wrote about Pluto moving into the sign of Capricorn and away from the sign of Sagittarius. It is worth mentioning this again in light of the fact the the the US Congress is considering a 700 billion dollars bailout! With Mercury retrograde, this will run into a lot of obstacles and delays although they will probably agree on some amount as many of their own portfolios are being affected. We feel that they should try to delay this as long as they can to disprove what President Bush has been saying about the panic in the financial market. This is what we wrote earlier:
"Stock Market Bubble: "...Pluto in the last degrees of Sagittarius will redefine the whole speculative market and the stock market. As it is moving in the sign of Capricorn, this heralds a dangerous period for big business and may even require government to bail some large banks and manufacturing industries".
Our Analysis: It is interesting that when Saturn was in late Sagittarius (same degree as Pluto now), we had the Oct. 1929 stock market crash and the same the market crash of Oct. 1987 (which we predicted along with the next one in Oct. 2017). Saturn is a 29 year cycle but Pluto is a once in 246 year transit and unlike Saturn, it requires the whole structure to be redefined and rebuilt. The critical times are always when a planet enters a sign and when it leaves it.
Pluto leaving the sign of Sagittarius by end of Nov 2008 demands a complete overhaul of the market itself and not a shotgun solution that Bush is proposing using his very predictable tactics, which he also used with the neocon group (including senator Lieberman whose name begins with a lie!) to go to war with Iraq causing so much death and destruction.
It is really a disgrace for a president and nothing short of criminal behavior, to create panic amongst people by actually telling them that they could all loose their jobs, their homes, mortgages and that their money in the banks will not be safe.
Just as Pluto created a certain amount of fanaticism in religion, as it is moving away from Sagittarius and moving into the sign on Capricorn, it will dismantle the government beurocracies by having people rebel against their excesses. We are certainly witnessing the stage being set and the population finally realizing what the government has done and how the big corporations dumped their risk on to the public.
Instead of GM or Ford going bankrupt (transportation is also ruled by Sagittarius), this is an excellent time fro them to reduce their prices to boost the sales and even to come out with the electric cars they may have been stalling on.
By End of Nov. 2008 the Stock Market will be Completely Redefined and they may even consider that speculation on essential commodities like oil and gas should not be allowed to go public. Imagine if you could buy hospital stocks and its success depended on how many patients you could have!
Delays in Contracts and all Negotiations: Mercury retrograde period from 24th Sep 2008 until 14th Oct 2008. Negotiations usually stall under this transit and there is no resolution or delays in it. Same thing with strikes which are never resolved during this period. Being in the sign of Libra now till 3rd Nov, it has strong legal connotations and probably relating to the Senate also.
Mercury retrograde is excellent for research and being in the sign of Scorpio in Nov., we can expect medical breakthroughs but also advances in war related inventions.
Mercury is in Scorpio from 4th Nov. medical breakthroughs but also advances in war related inventions. Mercury retrograde is always a good time to re-evaluate all your writing and contractual matters but hold off on purchasing of gadgets. Mercury goes into Libra from end of Oct. till mid, Nov, which may indicate some initiative towards peace but all peace treaties will fail during this period. Negotiations breakdown under this transit but at least it is a good time to focus on the legalities and letter of the law.
During this period, you can expect delays in communication including mixed messages, keys getting lost or misplaced (make backups!), forgetfulness, missed appointments, mail being lost or misplaced, false alarms, indecisiveness, wrong diagnosis,. erasing of e-mail addresses by mistake, and communication gadgets not working properly. Buy the products before or after this period.
Make sure that you back up important data on computers and keep copies of important letters being mailed. Give yourself extra time between meetings and take into account any delays due to communication and transportation problems. However, this is an excellent time for research and to go back over existing leases and other important papers.
Try not to travel during this period as you may have a lot of unexpected delays. If you have to travel, make sure all your documents are with you; and make photocopies and leave them safely at home. People will be more forgetful, will run out of time, change their mind and be very indecisive now. Just avoid signing new documents or initiating new projects. This is a good time for re-evaluating existing work rather than taking on new projects.
Predictions from Last Few Years Which Still Apply...
Pluto in Capricorn 2008 till 2023: Pluto has gone into Capricorn from mid Jan.2008 and will stay there till mid June 2008 then back into Sagittarius till end of Nov. 2008 then back into Capricorn for a number of years. In Sagittarius, this is the last you will hear of the radicals in religion using it for their political gains. Pluto in Sag. has also seen the recent Mars probe landing in there and possible discovering water on its surface. We had mentioned the revolutionary advances in transportation, space exploration and mass education while Pluto was in Sagittarius. This is the last of that period which ends in Nov. 2008.
This is the time we had predicted the end to Iraq hostilities and the troops on their way back here. This is also the reason why we feel Obama is the right choice for the US Presidency as he is the only one who can establish any US credibility which has been destroyed by the carnage and inhuman treatment of thousands of civilians by the US. McCain is still part of that Pluto in Sag. theme of playing into the hands of the religious bigots and extremists. Even the was mongering element that he is using has strong religious bias as he is stereotyping all Muslims.
There will be a major push by the media and foreign governments and AIPAC to select McCain (Hilary will not be the nominee as we have mentioned many times before), but we feel that Obama will prevail.
US Elections 2008: In our May issue, we were right about Hillary Clinton not being selected and Obama having excellent transits in his chart. However, Obama is still in danger till about mid 2009. Another important date for Obama to be careful is right after the election till about 9th Nov 2008 when he accident prone. Mid Oct 2008 is also a period of scandals and unwelcome revelations which will be the last push by the McCain and his neocon backers to derail Obama's campaign. The election can still be stolen but if it was fair, there is no doubt that Obama will win hands down!
However, as mentioned in May, we see Pluto in Capricorn helping Obama in completely redefining the government and inspiring the youth and others to pitch in for a true democracy. His organizing abilities are excellent and he has intelligent leadership ability which has helped him tremendously in raising large sums of money from ordinary people. We just hope that his Mercury sq Neptune does not let him select the wrong and untrustworthy people around him. He also has to be careful that his Moon square Pluto is not being misused by going along with some of the destruction in foreign countries (most likely Afghanistan) to keep the neocons happy.
Pluto in Capricorn will coincide with a major geological revolution and a push towards free energy, end to global warming and restrictions of emissions and waste by the manufacturing industry. There will be a major shakeup in the manufacturing industry caused by the stock market overhaul due to heavy speculative losses. Government bailouts may prompt an overhaul of the entire stock market, banking industry and even the Federal Reserve.
Stock Market Bubble: We wrote this in Aug. 2007 but it still applies so we are repeating the caution for you that the stock market (particularly NASDAQ as opposed to the DOW) will only be on a high till end of Dec.2007. Those of you who have invested heavily in the stocks should consider other options especially long term assets. After Dec.2007, the focus will be on commercial property and an industrial boom but the market will become very conservative again. We were right in our last update about the market as it did go through some major corrections.
Pluto in the last degrees of Sagittarius will redefine the whole speculative market and the stock market. As it is moving in the sign of Capricorn, this heralds a dangerous period for big business and may even require government to bail some large banks and manufacturing industries.
Strict Standards in all Areas of Industry: This is another long term prediction we made in Aug. 2007 and it still applies. With Saturn moving into the sign of Virgo from Sep. 2007 till end of Oct. 2009, there will be major new laws governing the standards in all areas of business. This includes a drive towards standards in audio video formats, precision instruments, stricter rules governing medicine and prescription drugs. There will also be major advances in the fields of biochemistry, nutrition, farming, organic food and natural health.
