Obama and the Void of Course Moon (again!)

Hi Lynn. I am always grateful to see such posts about the appropriate use of astrology. I consequently closed on my house last summer when Mercury was retro in my 7th house and Uranus was retro in my 4th. Though I did my best to push the closing to 3 days past Mercury's turn direct, it seemed "fated" that I walk into the closing the way I did. The closing went smoothly and quickly.

Yes, since then, there have been lots of unexpected occurrences, obstacles, and wild twists of fate, but it seems that this is what my soul signed up for. I am loving my home and all the renovations that are unfolding before me and the beautiful land that surrounds me. I am constantly challenged to see life differently every moment here, create unprecedented solutions and not take anything for granted.

I think sometimes we are meant to face the aspects square on and learn what we can. There is a power in the void of course moon, just like there is with the Mercury Rx. The gifts that can come with a certain amount of acceptance and not attempting to force things to be what they are not can be invaluable.

Yes, the whole "haloing the president" thing started with George W. Bush after 9/11, and even though I am an Obama supporter, I don't want to see this "tradition" continued. It's all too close to the kind of cultism and royalism we saw in the Bush Administration, and just because this guy is "on our team" doesn't make it right.

As for the notion of "Barack Obama" as a separate persona from Barack Obama the person, this seems to be a recurring theme. The most famous example of this is Stephen Colbert, a family man and Sunday school teacher living in NJ who plays "Stephen Colbert" on television and whose skewering of the bombast of the interplay between official Washington and the press corps at the White House Correspondents Dinner that one year is arguably one of the 10 finest moments in broadcast history. But on last week's "Sound of Young America" program, Rob Corddry mentioned the same thing -- about playing a character in public that has your name.

I don't think pointing this out is a bad thing. All too often people think they "know" someone because of an image they see on television. If we start to see public figures point this out, perhaps we can create the kind of change that looks at deeds, not just public media personae.

I wouldn't worry so much - this inaguration, with all the people going there and how huge it is becoming, there will be "delays" and he will be inagurated after 12:30pm, but don't expect the powers that be to bow to the astrologers publicly. That's not going to happen. Look at what happened to the Reagans and how they were ridiculed.

The whole halo thing is propaganda to make us think these folks are angelic when in fact they are demonic. ANYONE who makes it to the top 2-4 candidates for the president is working for the very evil people who truly rule this planet. They are puppets, they are faces for those who really pull the strings.

Obama is certainly going to push this country and the rest of the world into further ruin. Just look who he chose for his cabinet and look past what the "respected" media has to say about them to their true actions while in public office.

Wake up people...we are being constantly brainwashed by the media.

Great point, Trish.

And Michael - who are you and what are you doing here? Get thee to a proper conspiracy site and paint the town red, dude. Yeesh.

Marie, if you only knew how right Michael is...

I'm certainly aware of this, Lynn, and I respect the busy minds of thinking people. I just object to this premature fearmongering. It's excessive and very juvenile. Plus anyone who still goes around crying out that we are "brainwashed" by the media is a day late and dollar short. THIS is a secret? Lol! On what planet?

Happy New Year's everyone! I wish President Obama and Vice President Biden all the wisdom and support needed in this time.

Well, I read Joan Quigley's book on being an astrologer for Reagan, and she pointed out that she really couldn't do much time adjustment as to when a president gets sworn in. You are pretty much stuck with what the law says.

In regards to the timing of the actual swearing in, the ceremony takes apx. 90 minutes with the presidential swearing in occuring somewhere in the middle, so that would put it past 12:30p EST

VOC moon at 29 degrees scorpio-Bankruptcy. The DOW tanked to historic 14 year low yesterday at the close of the markets.

The moon aspected Neptune by square before going VOC. The moon-the people; Neptune-illusion. Obama selects two intolerant pastors to bless his presidency. One, an active anti-gay rights activist and the other, who stated in his 'prayer', "white do right". Two pastors, both who judge and condemn souls based on life style and race. This seems incongruent to Obamas rhetoric. How can an intelligent tolerant leader select these two narrow minded judgemental religious leaders to bless his presidency? This doesn't make sense to me. Some Americans seeing Obama through the illusive, dreamy, influence of neptune and not seeing the reality of his selection of pastors.

The audacity of hype...let us repeat that: THE AUDACITY OF HYPE! Obama is a mass media projection that is spiraling out of control people! You astrologers should see that, I am surprised at you all.

His presidency WILL NOT LAST; bad aspects as mercury retro and void moon on his inauguration, are you kidding?

Obama is no angel...check out the gay man, Larry Sinclair who held a press conference in washington last June, to tell the world he sold Obama crack and cocaine and had gay sex with him 7 years ago!!!

And why is the "intelligent" Obama keeping company for 20 years with a hateful pastor as Rev. Wright? None of us would stay around him for 5 minutes! Obama LIED to America about him!

My tarot cards continually show me he will not hold office after 6 months.

Obama is a FALSE MESSIAH, A FALSE PROPHET...an elitist who grew up white with a black face. Dr. King would not be impressed.

Ted Hayes should be the first black president! But because he is a republican, none of you air heads would ever listen to him...

Ted Hayes, said it best about Obama: "He is not authentically black or American"

I fear for my country with an inexperienced rookie, how can he be commander in chief? Obama has many dirty secrets that will eventually be found out.

America will be seriously disillusioned in the future.

Rick Warren, the senior pastor of Saddleback Church in Southern California, opposes abortion rights but has taken more liberal stances on the government's role in fighting poverty, and backed away from other evangelicals’ staunch support for economic conservatism. But it’s his support for the California constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage that drew the most heated criticism from Democrats Wednesday.

“Your invitation to Reverend Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at your inauguration is a genuine blow to LGBT Americans,” the president of Human Rights Campaign, Joe Solomonese, wrote to Obama Wednesday. “[W]e feel a deep level of disrespect when one of architects and promoters of an anti-gay agenda is given the prominence and the pulpit of your historic nomination.
