Barack Obama…Up to Date
Barack Obama: Current Transits to Natal Chart
Saturn square the Moon: Saturn is transitting Obama’s Tenth house (September, 2006 – August, 2009) This is a very karmic time, and is the culmination of actions that Obama has made since 1984. Any aspect Saturn makes during this period affects his career and position in the world.
Saturn is currently square Obama’s Moon, a transit that tests emotional well-being. There are feelings of isolation, weariness, depression. The relationship with Michelle is involved as the Moon is in the partnership or marriage house.
In June, Saturn will conjunct Obama’s Pluto, the same transit that brought about the downfall of Elliot Spitzer. Robert Hand describes this transit ‘rather like an inevitable conclusion of a situation’. There are strong forces at work and it is the end of one period and the beginning of another but the result does not have to be like Spitzer. Saturn always materializes exactly what one has built up over the past, particularly over the past fourteen years.
Pluto opposite Venus: this is one of those once-in-a-lifetime transits (actually once-in-248-years) that takes a couple of years to pass. A Pluto transit is like an earthquake or a volcano. It is intense and changes everything. Pluto opposite Venus brings powerful situations and individuals into the life, triggering a connection with what is really important on a soul level and breaking away from any structures that have been built to this time that no longer seem important. Any relationship that has served its purpose ends, and any relationship that survives goes through a dramatic transformation.
Neptune opposite Uranus: This is one of those transits that is affecting everyone who is about Obama’s age. It is a period when things like art, style and what-is-popular changes. On a higher level, this transit brings in new beliefs, dreams or inspiration which may or may not stand up as they are tested in the physical world over the next several years.
The effect on a personal chart depends on where it falls in the chart. In Obama’s chart, Neptune is in the Fourth house which has to do with emotional roots, one of the parents and his current home. It could signify something as simple as a move to a new home or something as complex as a new understanding of the emotional past.
Uranus opposite Mars:this is another one of those once-in-a-lifetime transits (once in 84 years). It is a time of revolutionary changes in one’s life as Uranus brings a desire for freedom, a desire to live one’s life as a true expression of self. The energy is exciting, impulsive, erratic and explosive. It can be a dangerous period, particularly if their is an attempt to suppress the powerful energies.
Barack Obama Solar Return
A Solar Return covers the period from birthday to birthday so this is the SR for August 4, 2007.
Pluto is right on the Ascendant of the Solar Return and that indicates this August-to-August period will be a transformative year in Obama’s life.
SR period March 3 to April 6: Eighth House: intense and intensely personal issues (such as the relationship with pastor Jeremiah Wright Jr.). The period is ruled by the Moon, trine Venus, Saturn and Pluto so it is generally a positive period. There is a square to Mercury so there is some confusion regarding what is said.
SR period April 6 to May 11: Ninth House: ruled by the Sun, the most important planet in the Solar Return. The only aspects to the Sun are an opposition to Neptune (inspiration, confusion, feeling like a martyr, weakened ego energies, ) and a conjunction with the Vertex, a very interesting point in the chart that seems to indicate karmic connections or events. It is the energy of Obama’s March 18 speech where he attempted to lift a difficult situation into the realm of inspiration, an energy that is difficult to maintain on a day-to-day basis.

Could it be Kathleen Sebelius?
I’m getting a feeling that the Kansas Governor might be the one. She’s Hillary’s age (60), a woman, Democratic Governor of a “Red State,” and without an overload of baggage.
I didn’t have a birth time for her. However, keep an eye on July. I called for Hillary to drop out on 7/6. There could be an announcement from camp Obama on 7/8.
