Happy Birthday Mr. Obama
It is going to be a challenging year.
By the numbers:
Obama is in the Seventh year of a Nine Year Cycle. This means that he is gearing up for a year of challenge for those things that he began seven years ago.
The year-to-year influence changes on the birthday and Obama’s changes from an Eight (power) to a One (leadership). With the quiet first half of a Seven Year over, he will undoubtedly take a more active role in promoting those things he wants to do.
Barack Obama has a Two Destiny which means he wants to work with others rather than charge ahead on his own.
BTW: In a study of all the US presidents, I was surprised to find that the most common numbers in either Destiny or Personality were the Two (co-operation) and the Nine (altruism) rather than the One (leadership) or the Eight (power).
Obama’s Method of Approach — which is how he uses his Destiny and Personality numbers — is the Three. Not surprisingly, the Three is the number of communication and charisma.
By astrology:
Obama’s Solar Return has 22 degrees Virgo on the Ascendant which is the same degree as his Natal Mars — a sign that he has to be physically careful in the year ahead.
The Sun rules the Solar Return and this year the Sun has no aspects. It is more difficult to connect with others this year.
Mercury, the ruler of the Solar Return, is buried in the Twelfth house so Obama’s communication skills may not work as well for him at this time. There may also be a lot going on behind the scenes, even secret challengers.
Pluto, the most powerful planet, is square Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and is inconjunct the Moon. Everything is challenged and everything changes.
The surprising thing about Obama’s current aspects and progressions is that there is a lot of stress regarding his marriage.
- In the Solar Return (Jupiter, Uranus in the marriage house opposite Venus, Saturn, Mars and square Pluto, North Node.)
- Secondary Progression (the chart wherein the Moon is most significant) has the Moon opposite Pluto and the Moon represents emotional matters and women.
- Solar Arc Progression – has the fifth degree of Cancer on the Descendant, a point very significant regarding important others especially marriage partners. The Sabian Symbol for this degree is “At A Railroad Crossing, An Automobile is Wrecked By A Train” . Over the years, I have noted this degree many times when are uninvited changes.
- Transit – Uranus/Jupiter opposite Saturn/Mars, all square Venus, the traditional ruler of love and relationship and ruler of Obama’s marriage house.

Hi,
I enjoyed your analysis of Obama’s solar return and passed it on to a friend. However, my friend noticed – I didn’t – that the SR was for Honolulu. It should be for Chicago where he spent his birthday.
I always use the birth place as I think of a Solar Return as an ‘unfolding’ of the original birth chart. When I studied SRs extensively a few years ago, I found important events showed up much more prominently when using place of birth and the timing system that I developed works better as well.
