Barack Obama is 50!

Barack Obama’s Solar Return is ruled by a twelfth house Neptune directly opposite Mercury (retrograde!), the planet of communcation.

Neptune is that lovely influence that offers spirituality, creativity, idealism…on one level. On a day-to-day, wordly level, Neptune is illusion and confusion. Buried in the 12th house, it is even more elusive.

This is not the Solar Return that I expected to see for the year of what is sure to be a vicious presidential campaign year. Obama will have a difficult time communicating and being understood about practical matters although he may reach new highs in speeches that inspire. Fortunately, the Neptune effects are strongest for the next 5 weeks – which coincides nicely with the holiday period. It is perfect time for lying on the beach and communing with the sea!

Aspects:

Pluto is still in Capricorn, still presenting challenges for all governments. Right now, Pluto is square Uranus and opposite Mars indicating a period of increased stress. The year will be full of dramatic surprises.

Most of the other aspects in the Solar Return show pleasant aspects. Again, not what I was expecting considering the year that Obama is facing.

    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.
