“Let us stand with the new 44th president-to-be of the United States and support the Path he was called to uphold and the Path he has chosen to Light the Way for humanity. Barack Obama’s Aquarius rising reflects the United States’ Aquarius Moon and the Age of Aquarius wherein, through humanity and its enlightened leaders, the new culture and civilization must emerge.
Scorpio & the Battle (Full Moon in Scorpio today)
Scorpio bears the Harmony Through Conflict ray, Ray 4. From Scorpio and streaming through Pluto, Mars, and then Mercury (depending upon the consciousness of the receiver), the energies of the warrior enter humanity. Scorpio is the 8th sign, and along with Taurus, the purveyor of resources, money and finances. Scorpio creates a battle (Mars) in order to reorient (turn upside down, a Ray 4 process) the lesser values to the greater (values). Scorpio (humanity), through trials, suffering and the Nine Tests, is always the triumphant warrior. Thus the meditative seed thought for Scorpio at the solar festival: “Warrior am I and from the battle I emerge triumphant.” This is the Soul speaking, which battles with the crystallized (of necessity for a time) ways and behaviors of the personality until eventually the smaller self (personality) understands that direction from the Soul is an evolutionary step upon the Path toward home, the Father, and Spirit.
spirits enter, embrace and be “clothed” in matter. And the experiment continues.
The Election, Number Eight, Ray 4, Harmony Through Conflict
Concerning the election and Senator Obama being elected the 44th president of the United States. Forty-four equals an eight (44=8), the sign of Scorpio, the sign of battle and reorientation. Scorpio distributes Ray 4 of Harmony Through Conflict. We will be in darkness, in battle and in conflict, before the Light is renewed. Let us stand with the new president and support the Path he has chosen to Light the Way for humanity.
Tasks of the 6th Subrace
The 6th subrace has two tasks – intelligent thinking AND loving understanding. Barack Obama signified, represents, manifests, speaks the language of, and thus called forth Loving Understanding. This swung into activity the desires and aspirations of humanity so mightily that a coherent movement (voting) occurred the results of which (will) institute the new heaven and the new earth. This, in turn, brings in the new Kingdom of God on Earth (the 5th Kingdom of the Soul) and creates the new order, culture, civilization and new Ways of life. The elections evoked within humanity a call to higher spiritual realities. Coming from Chicago, solar plexus of the United States (the solar plexus must reorient toward the heart), Obama became the foremost agent of change. And the people responded in (and with spiritual) force.

There was also a void moon in late Capricorn for much of election day on 4th Nov. That Moon conjoined McCain’s Moon and opposed his 10th House Pluto. Which meant that his plans for high position (Moon in Cap) and power in the world (10th House Pluto) came to nothing. I’d never thought before of seeing what transits a void Moon makes to a natal chart, but in this case it worked! Mind you, it also conjoined Obama’s Saturn, but that finished 3 hours earlier, and is arguably less central to his chart.

Perhaps we should not speak yet. I agree this is a good test case but it is conceivable that the void moon will reflect something goes wrong (and I’m not speculating about things like assassination attempts). I gather there are still court proceedings to decide if Obama is genuinely an American citizen qualified for his role and he hasn’t yet presented his original birth certificate. Obama may have been born in Kenya as some relatives have said. Even if born in Hawaii he may not have been re-registered as American after his Indonesian episode in which apparently he would need to have been a citizen there to have had the education he did. It all sounds terribly confusing in line with his Sun square Neptune.
I just hope America and the world is not being deceived by some afflicted Neptune messianic fever. If I were American I should want to vote Democrat but I would not care to have voted for Obama. I am not, for example, a person opposed to all abortion but I think Obama’s unique senatorial commitment to unlimited abortion and the horror of partial birth abortion (a cruel infanticide in effect) is ruthless and ugly and not at all what I should associate with any light bearers or whatever some are people are calling this politician.
Frankly I don’t think with astrology like Obama’s (assuming we have even the right birth date! – time and place remain in question given the legal questions being raised) Obama can be easily known and hence he can’t be easily trusted. Sorry if I burst any Neptunian bubbles but I’m more sorry that I probably can’t burst any at all as the world looks like it has gone Obama barmey and doubts he could do anything wrong. He only has to open his mouth and speak and everyone is charmed. He’s a good Leo actor that’s for sure. But for the rest. Aren’t people worried for example that Iran hastened to congratulate him? I say be careful. If some void principle yet enters into the picture it might not be such a bad thing.

It has always been my preference to note transits and events like Moon Void-of-course out of the corner of my eye. Easier for someone with an overactive imagination like mine. Besides, pouring over ever detail can be a waste of time and energy!

Rollan, I am just as wary that Israel hastened to congratulate him. Israel is not to be trusted any more than Iran. Period.

Since he announced under a void of course, was elected under a void of course and will ( perhaps ) be inaugerated under a void of course moon, I would fully expect the circumstances of his presidency to be rather ineffectual at best.

I would just like to make the point that the legislators who voted against banning partial birth abortion were not in favor of this procedure, but rather in favor of leaving medical decisions in the hands of the patients and physicians rather than the government. This has been twisted to make it seem as though the senators who voted against the ban are for the procedure, which is simply not the case. I myself am against abortion in principle, but do not want any kind of medical procedure legislated by the government. This just seems an extreme violation of the right of privacy.

It has been my experience that event charts with a void Moon indicate an agenda other than the obvious intent.

The interest in Void-of-course Moons has come up many times in my Horary practise- Ivy Jacobson and others taught “there is nothing readable in this” ,though Ivy pointed out that if the natal chart of the client had planets in degrees that would still be aspected by the Moon before it changed signs then it was not “void of course”until after the Moon had made those contacts.____In health inquiries I have had several charts with voided moons . I told these people, when I was a novice, there was nothing to worry about-”nothing would come of their worry”–to loosely quote Ivy. Now, after many years of working in Astrology I know the Moon void is more closely defined “there is nothing that you can do about it” though I will more likely encourage the client to seek professional help from doctors,lawyers or whatever suits his or her circumstances.____It is so important to educate clients to the more expanded Universe that Astrologers see and enjoy.____I just started using a computer and it is a delight to find your column.I’m looking forward to more imput.____Pegg Powell (ppowl28@yahoo.com)

the fact that obama announced his candidacy during a moon void of course could explain the circumstances he’s inheriting even before he’s sworn in: the biggest economic crises since the great depression probably dooming his administration to failure.
unfortunately and tradegically it could also mean a successful assassination attempt against him either before or shortly after his inauguration.

The fact that Senator Obama announced his run for the presidency when the moon was void that entire Saturday and the fact that he picked Joe Biden under a similar moon void of course all day means to me that his presidency will not meet its intended purpose – you can interpret that any way you like, but that is my belief. Not necessarily that he won’t be innaugurated President, but that things won’t turn out as planned )A-Rod was signed by the Yankees during the moon void of course and he was expected to deliiver a World Series and I made bets with everyone I knew that an A-Rod Yankees team would never win the World Series – so far after 5 years I am correct.

SORYY READ TODAY AT 7:42 AM EASTERN TIME AND FIND OUT!!!
Secunda Lonnise Ogletree at 7:48am December 29
This is the text that I received last night…
Why do we sleep in church but stay awake through a two
hour movie?
Why is so hard to talk about GOD but so easy to gossip?
Why is it so easy to ignore a GODLY text message but resend nasty ones?
THINK ABOUT IT!
Are you going to send this to your friends?
Or are you going to ignore this because you think you’ll get
laughed at?
Jesus said ” If you deny me in front of your friends i will
deny you in front of my father. ”
The text message then say send to 10 friends?
When I went to forward it would’nt let me. So I read this text over and over again wondering what is the message. So I said maybe since i cant text it or send it to myself post it over the internet so it can be heard. So I read the text again and THINK ABOUT IT STUCK OUT IN MY HEAD…I look up what does it mean and came across something about our future President Barrack OBAMA… He was sworn in on the VOID OF MOON… I know you wondering what that mean. If you
want something to be heard and taken into consideration you should wait until after the void moon which ended at 7:42am on Eastern Time Zone December 29th 2008 which is today.
I was going to send this message out last night at 10:00 am but something made me stop. And thats when I look up “Think about it” and the void mood gave and example about what i was about to do. Here it is :
Knowing when the Moon becomes Void of Course is an easy way to begin to watch the effect of the closest heavenly body to earth-the Moon. The Moon becomes void when it’s not making any major aspects to the other planets. This happens every few days for a time period ranging from a few minutes to a day or more.
Simply put, what this means from a practical standpoint, is that anything that is started when the Moon is void of course, doesn’t pan out. Starting a new business? Don’t make it official until the void period is over. Looking for an engagement date? Avoid the times that the Moon is void if you want to play it safe. One more thing. Don’t push the send button on an important e-mail until the Moon void period is over. That is, unless you want nothing to come of it. Fretting
over a possible negative outcome for a court case, a health issue or whatever? The void of course definition still applies-nothing comes of it.
Can you override the effect of a void Moon? Maybe, but be prepared to double your efforts and then hope and pray for the best. Now, I have to tell you, the reverse strategy of starting something important when the Moon is not void doesn’t guarantee success. I do know that starting something important when it is void, nearly always holds true; Nothing much happens.

Hi there,
I’m hoping that the article I read reagarding the ending of a situation can be best ended under a moon void of course. I have had an ongoing problem with my nose. Unable to breathe. I had the operation, though I had no control over the exact time I would have the op, just as the moon went void of course. Now the surgeon said that everything went as planned; and though I can breathe so far I have had two infections so far in my nose as a result of the op and I’m still waiting to see if its been successful. Eveytime I go training my nose gets stuffy. I hope this is due to the infection and not due to a failed operation.
