Lincoln & Obama

From ‘essays & effluvia’

Barack Obama and Abraham Lincoln
Amazingly similar “Experience” between Barack Obama and Abraham Lincoln. Look at the following questions, and try to guess which is which:

  1. a lawyer;
  2. an Illinois state legislator;
  3. lost an election to represent Illinois in the U.S. Congress;
  4. spent only two years in the U.S. Congress before running for President;
  5. risked political damage in opposing a war in which the U.S. invaded a foreign country;
  6. delivered a famous speech on national unity as a candidate to represent Illinois in U.S. Senate, elevating his political career to the national level and paving the way for a Presidential run;
  7. sought his Party’s Presidential nomination by challenging the establishment candidate, a Senator from New York, also a lawyer, who was widely expected to easily secure the nomination;
  8. was viewed by Party delegates as a talented speaker able to attract moderates and newer voters;
  9. viewed by some in his Party as a better candidate more likely to secure critical states in the general election as his rivals, especially those with “experience” had accumulated more political enemies;
  10. the opposition party was fractured and in complete disarray;
  11. March 4th is a very significant date in his political career;
    more…

Barack Obama obviously feels a connection between himself and Abraham Lincoln. He often quotes Lincoln; he will retrace Lincoln’s route to the inauguration by travelling by train and he will be sworn in on Lincoln’s Bible.

Abraham Lincoln’s chart is ruled by Uranus at 9 Scorpio (Ascendant – Aquarius, ruler of Aquarius – Uranus).

Obama has Neptune at 8 Scorpio.

Both Uranus and Neptune are ‘otherwordly’ planets i.e. they often operate on a super-conscious level more than on the conscious level.

Many people born about the same time as Obama have Neptune in the same place and have the same ‘potential’ link with Lincoln. In Obama’s case, he has the link and he has similar aspirations. He builds on the potential of the connection each time he thinks about Lincoln, reads about him or studies what he wrote.

    Astrology of an Address ~ Dayel Kirk

    July 8, 2009

    Dayel Kirk has a fun freebie on her site, The Reluctant Astrologer. She gives you the astrology of your address. She takes only the number from your address (no street name) and assigns it to the 360 degree zodiac. If you live in an apartment, only the apartment number is used, not the street number.

    If you are a numerologist, you will find using the zodiac degree a very interesting addition to your number meanings.

    My address number corresponds with 14 Pisces. Dayel describes this as:

    A Pisces address is a place for rest or escape, relaxation, regeneration, creative expression, spiritual pursuits or solitude.

    At this address, I have cared for elderly parents, started a small theatre and this blog, studied various religious texts, delved into spirituality, and found a great deal of solitude. It’s much more relaxing than my previous address (perhaps too much so) and has recently been certified as a wildlife habitat.

    Thanks, Dayel! Please visit The Reluctant Astrologer to get the astrology of your address, along with some other freebies and some excellent posts on current astrological trends and personalities.
