The November 2008 US elections took place during a Mercury Retrograde period, promising confusion, mix-ups and vague results, as was the case in the still on-going Franken / Coleman Senate race in Minnesota.
Lots of times confused issues that arise during a Merc retro period are resolved during a subsequent Merc retro period / shadow period. [...]

Here it is, a digest of all the posts of the past week.
Obama wins.
1) Obama has better transits on inauguration day. Today, he has Mars conjunct his Mid-Heaven, signifying a 2-year peak in career matters. He has a number of transits in his 9th house, there may be legal issues to fight.
2) Joe Biden [...]

So I have my own strange tale from the polling place to tell. I live in France, so the Obama campaign had this offer where you could Fedex your vote for just 20$. When I went to drop off my ballot, the woman in front of me was sending 48,000 Euro in cash in a [...]

There are three factors in John McCain’s chart that make me predict he will lose today: Jupiter is in close opposition to his mid-heaven, the Sun is squaring his Mars in his house of career success (and emphasizing his angry gnome qualities) and a major life transit: the Saturn Opposition to Natal Saturn.

Uranus opposite Saturn: Election Day
Big deal, this is. This is a relatively rare transit and this is the first of a series. Uranus and Saturn will be playing tag a number times between now and 2010. Last time this happened was in the mid-60s, and before that 1920, the dawn of the modern era, filled [...]

There is this weird fatal, yet inevitable, attraction between Scorpios and Leos. They are by far two of the most intense signs of the zodiac, and they feed off each others passion, loyalty, selfless generosity and integrity. Sometimes though, the brooding Scorpio element can suck down the Leos more sunny disposition. Hillary and Bill Clinton [...]

The past few years, from late 2005 onwards have been incredibly magical for Obama. He has also been free from any major challenging long-term astrological transits from the heavy-hitting outer planets. The heavens have truly been smiling on him.
That all changes in 2009, when Obama will be hit with a number of challenging transits. The [...]

When this election cycle first began, I was kind of glad it was Obama versus McCain. More than anything else, I just wanted a moderate to win, someone who wasn’t spewing all the hate and division that has really divided the USA ever since Monica Lewinsky came on the scene.
I thought McCain was a kind [...]

Watching the debates, it was amazing to witness how collected Obama is. It was as if he were the Buddha sitting at the foot of the tree of enlightenment refusing to allow himself to get caught up in the maya of the world
This can be seen in his birth chart by his Grand Trine of [...]

First off, I, too, do not see why Palin had to spend 150,000 dollars on new duds when her old clothes, as witnessed in the photo above, already demonstrated her indomitable sense of style.
Recently a McCain advisor had the following words to share on the topic of Sarah Palin, “She is a diva. She [...]
