    Once again, Alex, you were SO wrong, on this (the election) and previously regarding the Wisconsin recall.

    My belief is to not be concerned about such small matters such as where the President goes to relax or enjoy himself on his birthday.

    Glad to see him relaxing anywhere!

    With a limited understanding of the reason Obama was put in the White House and what he was placed there to accomplish, what is said here might make sense from an exoteric perspective. If he should leave office at the end of one term he would have accomplished what he came there to do. One would not have believed the degree of hate and racisim that existed in this country if he had not stood in that office. And, inspite of all that has been hurled at him he has carried out his duties and held the office with grace and dignity! The Ancients say: we cannot change what we cannot first “see”. His presidency has allowed America and the world to “see” much of what they did not know existed in the hearts and minds of too many. This is the first step toward the transformation of this great country. One has to realize that the reason for him being there is not fullfill the economic desires of the American people, contrary to popular opinion. I would suggest the astrologer look at the role of Sirius, if able to decern this, to know that the destiny of America is on track to be brought into manifestation in a real way and Obama was installed there by the Lords of this planet to initiate that destiny. A very different destiny than most of the American people understand.
    They are not in favor of what party over the other or one individual over another. Every person who is placed in that office was put there to further the Divine Plan for this country and for humanity. Even those one may think are horrible.
    I agree with the astrologer that many interesting unfoldments are about occur. However, I suggest we look at the elections and at Barack and Mitt from an esoteric perspective and keep in mind the higher reason they were chosen to function in their respecive capacities at this time.
    May Light Be Extended Upon You!

    Let’s hope Alex’s predictions are correct! We don’t need another term with Obama-he is always traveling in the dark & so ineffectual-We do need change for sure now and it’s without Obama!

    Oh, Phylos, I think you’re so right. Being in Walker territory, I can now truly understand what evil lurks …
    Alex, I hope for all our sakes that this time you’re predictions are wrong.

    The only way Romney can possibly be elected is the same way the shrub and dick were twice. Election theft. Heaven help us if they can steal it again like Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004. In a related matter, I highly suspect the Walker recall results. Actually, if we had clean elections in this country, I suspect the republicans would be on the verge of extinction.

    Regarding the Solar Return data, the research for this article was done in July, at which point the early reporting did not differentiate between Obama’s 51st birthday locale and his 51st bithday party, which was in fact held the week after his birthday, in Chicago, which is how the discrepancy arose. My apologies for the confusion.

    As Nancy rightly notes, this alters the chart, and gives a much more favorable placement for Jupiter, from the perspective of the Solar Return. All other data relating to natal chart, transits and the Election Day sky remain as stated, so this is still a tough uphill climb for Obama, but Jupiter with the MC gives more cause for optimism.

    The article above has been rewritten to reflect the amended, correct, Solar Return chart.

    Obama was in DC for his birthday. He played golf in the morning at Andrew’s Air Force Base in PG County, MD, and then went to Camp David. Solar return in DC gives him Jupiter conjunct the MC and square the Ascendant. Jupiter comes back to exact crossing of MC for the election. He went to a birthday party in Chicago the following week.

    Obama spent his solar return this year in Washington DC playing golf and then went to Camp David…he was not in Chicago.
