Barack Oba\u00adma<\/strong> <\/span>
Anoth\u00ader approach to under\u00adstand\u00ading what has hap\u00adpened and what may hap\u00adpen to any orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion is by exam\u00adin\u00ading the plan\u00ade\u00adtary align\u00adments in the lead\u00ader\u00adship. As I men\u00adtioned in Part 3 of the 2011 Gen\u00ader\u00adal Fore\u00adcast<\/a>, Mun\u00addane or World\u00adly Astrol\u00ado\u00adgy will not only look to the con\u00addi\u00adtions in a nation\u00adal chart or com\u00adpa\u00adny chart, but will also look at the plan\u00ade\u00adtary indi\u00adca\u00adtions in the charts of its lead\u00aders as well. This tra\u00addi\u00adtion is very ancient and astrologers at the courts of kings and emper\u00adors would fol\u00adlow the pre\u00adcept that \u201cas the king\u2019s for\u00adtunes go, so goes the king\u00addom\u201d. So, for the Unit\u00aded States at this time, what can we dis\u00adcern about its future from the indi\u00adca\u00adtions in Barack Oba\u00adma\u2019s chart?<\/p>\n

\"BarackObama\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is not my inten\u00adtion here to ana\u00adlyze Barack Oba\u00adma\u2019s chart except inso\u00adfar as to point out the rel\u00ade\u00advant fea\u00adtures that are being acti\u00advat\u00aded by tran\u00adsits at this time. <\/sub>Per\u00adhaps, at a lat\u00ader date, we will come back and take a more thor\u00adough look at what his chart indi\u00adcates for him (and us). The most impor\u00adtant facts to note are that he is a Leo, with a Moon in Gem\u00adi\u00adni and he has Aquar\u00adius rising.<\/p>\n

Just as in the analy\u00adsis of the USA<\/span> chart<\/a>, we can\u00adnot look ahead at 2011 with\u00adout look\u00ading back to what the US<\/span> Pres\u00adi\u00addent has just expe\u00adri\u00adenced, (and we, in a very real sense, expe\u00adri\u00adenced through him).<\/p>\n

2010<\/span>
<\/strong>In 2010 there were, of course, many align\u00adments in Barack Oba\u00adma\u2019s chart, but what were the most sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant? We do not want to minute\u00adly exam\u00adine each con\u00adfig\u00adu\u00adra\u00adtion; we want to see what were the major themes invoked dur\u00ading the year. More\u00adover, we need to look at these major align\u00adments with ref\u00ader\u00adence to what they indi\u00adcate about his expe\u00adri\u00adence as the head of a nation and not in terms of his per\u00adson\u00adal life or experience.<\/p>\n

Plu\u00adto Incon\u00adjunct Oba\u00adma\u2019s Moon (Jan. 2, Jul. 26, Oct. 31)<\/span>
<\/strong>Plu\u00adto incon\u00adjunct the Moon will bring about a chal\u00adleng\u00ading expe\u00adri\u00adence for a leader as they seek to con\u00adnect with, relate to and mir\u00adror the mood of their time. The moon rules \u201cthe pub\u00adlic\u201d or the peo\u00adple in mun\u00addane astrol\u00ado\u00adgy and is reflec\u00adtive of pub\u00adlic opin\u00adion and beliefs. The tran\u00adsit of Plu\u00adto would have cre\u00adat\u00aded a kind of dis\u00adcon\u00adnect between the pub\u00adlic and Oba\u00adma. He would have expe\u00adri\u00adenced a sense that there were ener\u00adgies or forces in play (Plu\u00adto) that were mak\u00ading it hard for the peo\u00adple to con\u00adnect with him, and he with them. Plu\u00adto would indi\u00adcate that this was caused by a cathar\u00adtic release of very deep ener\u00adgies from the col\u00adlec\u00adtive uncon\u00adscious, with par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar empha\u00adsis on mat\u00adters about pow\u00ader and con\u00adtrol. The chal\u00adlenge for Oba\u00adma would have been nei\u00adther to \u201close\u201d con\u00adtrol, nor become \u201cover\u201d con\u00adtrol\u00adling. Instead, the oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty would have been to reestab\u00adlish a healthy bal\u00adance between his own will and self-con\u00adtrol as he grap\u00adpled with the forces being unleashed from the col\u00adlec\u00adtive. At the same time Oba\u00adma would have gained more insight into the attempt by ele\u00adments in soci\u00adety to assert their con\u00adtrol, (often through hid\u00adden means (Plu\u00adto) or sub\u00adterfuge), as those ele\u00adments attempt\u00aded to sway the feel\u00adings (mood) of the pub\u00adlic. The aspect would have demand\u00aded the utmost in intel\u00adli\u00adgence, tol\u00ader\u00adance and humil\u00adi\u00adty as he dealt with often inchoate forces bub\u00adbling up from deep with\u00adin the Amer\u00adi\u00adcan psyche. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nep\u00adtune Con\u00adjunct Oba\u00adma\u2019s Lunar South Node (Mar. 18, Aug. 20, Jan. 18, 2011)<\/span>
<\/strong>Nep\u00adtune pass\u00ading over Oba\u00adma\u2019s Lunar South Node might not seem to be such a sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant tran\u00adsit to some. How\u00adev\u00ader, when we take into account the fact that it also the exact same posi\u00adtion of the Moon in the chart of the Unit\u00aded States, well then our atten\u00adtion should be riveted.<\/p>\n

This align\u00adment reveals that one of the sig\u00adna\u00adture tran\u00adsits for 2010-11 in the US<\/span> chart (that I did not ana\u00adlyze in pre\u00advi\u00adous entries) was the Con\u00adjunc\u00adtion of Nep\u00adtune to the Moon in the US<\/span> chart. I did this because I thought it would be more inter\u00adest\u00ading to see these two tran\u00adsit events togeth\u00ader, (Nep\u00adtune Con\u00adjunct US<\/span> Moon, Nep\u00adtune con\u00adjunct Oba\u00adma\u2019s South Node), so as to bet\u00adter illus\u00adtrate what it indi\u00adcat\u00aded for the US<\/span> in 2010 on into the begin\u00adning of 2011.<\/p>\n

US<\/span> Moon<\/strong>
The Aquar\u00adi\u00adan Moon in the US<\/span> chart is very sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant; espe\u00adcial\u00adly since it is the plan\u00ade\u00adtary ruler of the Sun Sign (Can\u00adcer) and for the oth\u00ader plan\u00adets in Can\u00adcer which are Mer\u00adcury, Venus and Jupiter. This means that the Can\u00adcer ener\u00adgies of the US<\/span> are tuned to an Aquar\u00adi\u00adan sensibility.<\/p>\n

The Moon rep\u00adre\u00adsents the peo\u00adple of a nation\u2019s chart, so the defin\u00ading fea\u00adture of the Amer\u00adi\u00adcan peo\u00adple and its mass con\u00adscious\u00adness will reflect Aquar\u00adi\u00adan traits. The Aquar\u00adi\u00adan tem\u00adpera\u00adment is one that endows that being with a tremen\u00addous need to be unique, inde\u00adpen\u00addent and free; while at the same time cre\u00adat\u00ading an equal\u00adly strong desire to be part of some asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtion or group whose vision and ideals are direct\u00aded towards bring\u00ading about a bet\u00adter world. The US<\/span> Moon in Aquar\u00adius helps cre\u00adate the dis\u00adtin\u00adguish\u00ading fea\u00adture at the found\u00ading of this coun\u00adtry, that true friends (Aquar\u00adius) come togeth\u00ader in fel\u00adlow\u00adship to help sup\u00adport one anoth\u00ader in the real\u00adiza\u00adtion of one anoth\u00ader\u2019s hopes, dreams and aspirations.<\/p>\n

These ideals can either take the form of an Aquar\u00adi\u00adan dream to go back to a \u201cgold\u00aden age\u201d or seek to leap ahead to the next, (and that is why it is said that Aquar\u00adi\u00adans are either 50 years behind or 50 years ahead of their time). They feel them\u00adselves to be spe\u00adcial and apart, yet wish to bring about this vision of a bet\u00adter world; the para\u00addox being that in the very unique con\u00adtri\u00adbu\u00adtions that they offer to the present time they end up reaf\u00adfirm\u00ading that they are, well, different.<\/p>\n

It would cer\u00adtain\u00adly seem that among the many of the dis\u00adtin\u00adguish\u00ading fea\u00adtures of the Amer\u00adi\u00adcan peo\u00adple the one that stands out is their dis\u00adtinct sense of being spe\u00adcial; whether it be the Pil\u00adgrims seek\u00ading to cre\u00adate a \u201cNew Jerusalem\u201d, or the Found\u00ading Fathers cre\u00adat\u00ading a \u201cNew Order for the Cen\u00adturies\u201d, or the west\u00adward migra\u00adtion dri\u00adven by the call of a \u201cMan\u00adi\u00adfest Des\u00adtiny\u201d, or the feel\u00ading that it is \u201cMorn\u00ading in Amer\u00adi\u00adca again\u201d, time and time again there has been this sense that the place and pur\u00adpose of Amer\u00adi\u00adca is spe\u00adcial. That this was the nation that would \u201cbreak\u201d the bonds of the past and offer a place where any\u00adone could become what\u00adev\u00ader they want\u00aded to be; here is where a per\u00adson could rein\u00advent them\u00adselves and pur\u00adsue their dreams. <\/p>\n

Oba\u00adma\u2019s South Node<\/strong>
<\/span>The South Node in any\u00adone\u2019s chart rep\u00adre\u00adsents what many might call \u201ckar\u00adma\u201d. (Though, in a more exact under\u00adstand\u00ading, one should call the whole chart one\u2019s kar\u00adma). The South Node is what the soul brings in from many past lives, a mix\u00adture of the feel\u00adings, thoughts, actions and inac\u00adtions gath\u00adered togeth\u00ader now into this life. It rep\u00adre\u00adsents the accu\u00admu\u00adla\u00adtion of one\u2019s habit\u00adu\u00adal way of being, the path that is eas\u00adi\u00adest to take.<\/p>\n

The present life is found\u00aded upon this accu\u00admu\u00adlat\u00aded expe\u00adri\u00adence, but can also be lim\u00adit\u00aded by it. We need to draw upon our past pat\u00adterns to help us now, but if we uncon\u00adscious\u00adly do so and fail to ful\u00adfill our chal\u00adlenge to grow, then the South Node will indi\u00adcate how the soul will hold itself back from its oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adties to devel\u00adop spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly now, a devel\u00adop\u00adment that is indi\u00adcat\u00aded by their Dhar\u00adma (as revealed by the North Node). The South Node should be a foun\u00adda\u00adtion for new growth in this life, as the North Node will indi\u00adcate how the soul might best accom\u00adplish their devel\u00adop\u00adment in this life.<\/p>\n

Oba\u00adma\u2019s Kar\u00adma<\/strong>
Oba\u00adma\u2019s South Node is in Aquar\u00adius and is placed in his First House. (Which means his North Node is in Leo in his 7th House). The Aquar\u00adi\u00adan South Node pre\u00addis\u00adpos\u00ades him to have a default response to detach him\u00adself from his sur\u00adround\u00adings, to be aloof and cere\u00adbral, to be dif\u00adfer\u00adent. The capac\u00adi\u00adty to be com\u00admit\u00adted to social ideals and human advance\u00adment is very strong; his chal\u00adlenge is to under\u00adstand the demands of right lead\u00ader\u00adship, how to inspire oth\u00aders to believe in them\u00adselves by stay\u00ading con\u00adnect\u00aded and not detach\u00ading. The place\u00adment in his First House indi\u00adcates that his true path in life is to be involved in bring\u00ading his Aquar\u00adi\u00adan past under\u00adstand\u00ading of social con\u00adscious\u00adness into all of his rela\u00adtion\u00adships; Oba\u00adma\u2019s life is to be a life devot\u00aded to oth\u00aders. The more he can \u201cfor\u00adget\u201d him\u00adself and help oth\u00aders to believe in their dreams, then to that same extent will he real\u00adize the Dharmic Truth of Leo that a leader must sac\u00adri\u00adfice the ego in order to ful\u00adfill their true life\u2019s work.<\/p>\n

Nep\u00adtune Con\u00adjunct Amer\u00adi\u00adca\u2019s Moon &<\/span> Nep\u00adtune Con\u00adjunct Oba\u00adma\u2019s Lunar South Node<\/span>
<\/strong>With Nep\u00adtune, the ruler of Pisces going over the Moon in the Unit\u00aded States chart, we would expect height\u00adened emo\u00adtion\u00adal sen\u00adsi\u00adtiv\u00adi\u00adties with greater dis\u00adplays of com\u00adpas\u00adsion by the pub\u00adlic. But that could also be accom\u00adpa\u00adnied by maudlin sen\u00adti\u00admen\u00adtal\u00adi\u00adties, vic\u00adtim\u00adiza\u00adtion and dis\u00adplays of (false) mar\u00adtyr\u00addom with\u00adin the mood of the times as well. The chal\u00adlenge for Oba\u00adma with Nep\u00adtune on his South Node was to stay pas\u00adsion\u00adate\u00adly engaged as a leader while draw\u00ading upon his capac\u00adi\u00adty to under\u00adstand the chal\u00adlenge of this moment for Amer\u00adi\u00adca dis\u00adpas\u00adsion\u00adate\u00adly. But with Nep\u00adtune on his Karmic past, the ques\u00adtion of whether he would fall back and with\u00addraw into a detached state, or rise to the occa\u00adsion and draw upon that past to inspire and lead, well that was Oba\u00adma\u2019s karmic test in 2010.<\/p>\n

Cer\u00adtain\u00adly a sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant force that was dri\u00adving the sto\u00adry to pro\u00advide uni\u00adver\u00adsal health care was this man\u00adi\u00adfes\u00adta\u00adtion of com\u00adpas\u00adsion indi\u00adcat\u00aded with Nep\u00adtune align\u00ading with the US<\/span> the Moon. But equal\u00adly to be expect\u00aded were the dra\u00admat\u00adic dis\u00adplays of feel\u00adings of vic\u00adtim\u00adiza\u00adtion and cries denounc\u00ading this very same effort as social\u00adism or com\u00admu\u00adnism. With Nep\u00adtune cross\u00ading Oba\u00adma\u2019s South Node at the very same time, he was influ\u00adenced to tap into the karmic ener\u00adgies of his past and either retreat into detach\u00adment (he was cer\u00adtain\u00adly accused of that) or dis\u00adplay inspired lead\u00ader\u00adship (that seemed to be lacking).<\/p>\n

Again with Nep\u00adtune rul\u00ading the Oceans and Oil, the Deep\u00adwa\u00adter Hori\u00adzon oil rig blowout also occurred dur\u00ading the first pas\u00adsage of Nep\u00adtune to the Moon and Oba\u00adma\u2019s node. The response to this tragedy also seemed to lack the required depth of under\u00adstand\u00ading and inspiration. <\/p>\n

Yet the final pass\u00ading of Nep\u00adtune over the Moon and Oba\u00adma\u2019s node brought the coun\u00adtry togeth\u00ader and ele\u00advat\u00aded Oba\u00adma into a lead\u00ader\u00adship moment as he attempt\u00aded to bind and heal a peo\u00adple hor\u00adri\u00adfied by the tragedy of vio\u00adlence in Tuc\u00adson. Here we found the Amer\u00adi\u00adcan peo\u00adple reel\u00ading from a sense\u00adless act that required a leader to pro\u00advide con\u00adtext and meaning.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sat\u00adurn Square Oba\u00adma\u2019s Venus (Nov.16, 2009, Mar. 15, 2010, Aug. 10)<\/span>
<\/strong>Again we find a con\u00adnec\u00adtion between Oba\u00adma\u2019s chart and that of Unit\u00aded States. Oba\u00adma has his Venus at just under 2\u00b0 of Can\u00adcer, while the Unit\u00aded States has its Venus at just over 3\u00b0 of Can\u00adcer. That means when one is expe\u00adri\u00adenc\u00ading a tran\u00adsit over Venus, the oth\u00ader will too. I men\u00adtioned this tran\u00adsit in an ear\u00adli\u00ader post\u00ading on the Tran\u00adsits to the USA<\/span> chart<\/a>. With Venus rul\u00ading val\u00adues and the appre\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtion of self-worth, the tran\u00adsit of Sat\u00adurn to Oba\u00adma\u2019s Venus was much the same as to the Unit\u00aded States; they both were going through a peri\u00adod of not feel\u00ading wor\u00adthy, valu\u00adable or appre\u00adci\u00adat\u00aded. In short they were not \u201cfeel\u00ading the love\u201d dur\u00ading this peri\u00adod. Per\u00adhaps this, in com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtion with the Nep\u00adtune tran\u00adsit to his Node, account\u00aded for the seem\u00ading deficit of lead\u00ader\u00adship skills in the ear\u00adli\u00ader part of the year.<\/p>\n

Next we will turn to an exam\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion of the major align\u00adments in Oba\u00adma\u2019s chart as regards the impli\u00adca\u00adtions they have for the Unit\u00aded States in 2011.<\/p>\n
