Obama's grandmother has died

Monday November 3, 2008

Barack Obama's grandmother Madelyn Dunham, the woman who raised him for most of his formative years, has died in Hawaii.  I wrote a couple of weeks ago about the transit of the South Node over Obama's Sun as an event that was significant here, but another transit coinciding with this event is the exact conjunction of transiting Chiron to Obama's progressed Moon ever since the beginning of October.  The Moon represents our emotions and the women in our lives, as well as those that nurture us and whom we nurture.

I know our thoughts and prayers go out to Obama and his family at this time that is so sad and so exciting at the same time.

This may be a good time to mention that the State of Hawaii has confirmed the veracity of Obama's birth certificate.

Lynn has been so gracious to allow all voices to be heard on her blog. Thank you.
You're welcome Lisa. It's not easy but I'm (nearly) always impressed by the intelligence of my readers, no matter where they stand.

I do wish we could keep some of the rage and anger out of the comments - I would prefer to have an environment where we can express our views and build a community here.

Hello Lynn Hayes, Lisa, and anyone else out there! I clicked on "Obama's Grandmother has died"-early this afternoon, and as I said earlier-I feel for him. He's literally at D-Day, and still the "SHOW" must go on! He has to keep his composure and move forward. Well,-go on the most sent email photos on yahoo-#1--is Obama speaking with tears running down his face over his Grandmothers death. I just said the night before last how he seems like such a good family man-you always see him living daily life with real smiles and his FAMILY! So, in knowing that he is very close with his family makes a show of him being a very strong and determined person. I was already thinking about a follow-up blog and when I saw his face in tears it made me even angrier at the people who had made the earlier comments on this blog by Lynn Hayes. Once again, What does it have to do with "ASTROLOGY"?----EVERYTHING!!! Earth's Great Ancient Civilizations, looked up to the sky and stars for answers to "EVERYTHING". From Planting Schedules to Politics. Other lifeforms who may be or have been out in our Universe more than likely...the same. We have Day and we have Night and that tells you right there we need to learn from the Universe around us.---Thank You.

It will be interesting to see how this changes his personality. When my Grandmother died (who was like my mother), two things happened. I lost "my rock" and have never fully recovered from the feeling of being tossed in the wind on Earth without her (even though it's been eight years). I also felt a sense of freedom in that I no longer had to be tethered to family members who were nothing but negative energy my entire life.

I like to see things for myself, and since release of a certified birth certificate is being withheld, I defer to Lynn's information. I'd say this will be quite significant in how Obama comes to terms with his past and who he feels he is. I think Chiron is very telling here being conjunct the Progressed Moon. No small potatoes, psychologically.

I, for one, am glad this campaign is over - has been the most stressful in my lifetime. And I also have been very tense, extremely so - does this have to do with the Uranus-Saturn, Neptune thing? Every day I wonder if I can get through the day, that's how tense I've been.

If it even matters at this point, what I meant by "And this has what to do with astrology?" was all the hot air about which candidate did what when. I worded it poorly in my haste and for that I apologize.
