I dearly want to respect my colleagues, but I feel that when we predict death of any kind we are stepping over the line. First, I'm not sure how possible it is, and second, I'm not sure how useful it is to have that kind of information.
The conjunction of the South Node to the natal Sun is something that occurs for all of us every 19 years or so. I looked up my own last transit of the South Node to my Sun, and since my Sun conjuncts Saturn, another "malefic", a Vedic or traditional astrologer might predict terrible things for that day. As far as I know, nothing horrible happened although I did post an article on Lindsay Lohan's "annus horribilis." Maybe that was the way the South Node expressed itself.
The South Node represents our past and things we must learn from the past. The conjunction of the South Node to the Sun, our Essential Self, may put us in touch with something unfinished from an earlier part of our life that needs resolution. Obama's grandmother IS his past - she raised him and is credited for helping to shape him into the man he is today. The timing of the transiting South Node across his Sun at this time appears significant in light of the failing health of his grandmother, and the fact that she may not survive to see him elected which would coincide with the exact hit of the South Node to the Sun.

Jilly - I don't remember your chart, but some Sun/South Node people have a strong affiliation to their ancestral past. It all depends on the aspects to that South Node, too.
Gregory - I have the Bobrick book too but I never finished reading it. :) I have heard a similar story about an astrologer being murdered with respect to Tiberius. Through Google I found this great article: http://www.nicholaswhyte.info/blood.htm I hope to have time to read it this weekend! You have to wonder how much of these ancient stories are fact and how much are legend. Nostradamus famously predicted the death of Henry II. But what use was that? He died anyway.
Michele - Good to see you! Thanks for visiting and for your kind words.
Ebbie, thanks so much for posting that link. Obama's grandmother is one of the last links to his past, making the South Node connection even more vivid!
Does Obama have Aquarius rising? (I'm trying to remember.) So, then, is the south node currently in his 7th house of relationships? If so, then most likely, the ending is referring to his grandmother.
Question: The NORTH node is now in Aquarius (Obama's rising) - so what could that portend?
Interesting topic, as Always.
Thank you for reframing this. I can't tell you how many predictions I've seen about Obama being assasinated. Far too many. I'm both outraged and worried. No question his election is going to enrage a certain sick segment. No question McCain and especially Palin have much to do with inflaming that perverted reaction. Equally so they could do much to temper it...But they won't I imagine. Like I've been saying let's keep Barack, Joe and all their families in a circles of protection and light. Always. :)

You were amazingly correct in your interpretation. His Grandmother paseed this afternoon. My thoughts and prayers go out to Barack Obama and his family. How bittersweet his win will be tomorrow.
I often see death cards when I ask about Obama. I do not think it is because of assasination. Some people just have a lot of death around them during their lives, i.e. both parents dying young. Is there anything in his chart that bears this out? Just seems to me that death is around him a lot, and affects him but its not his death. Assasination is not likely to happen in this day and age.
Since Grandma was a born Scorpio and died under that sign, it is likely that either Obama or his sister will be welcoming a new addition to the family within the next year.
