Barack Obama and The Inauguration

I decided before starting this process of looking at the jumping off point for this historic event that Barack Obama’s birth chart is only the beginning. I looked at the Chart for the USA (7/4/1776), 1/20/2009 at 12 pm EST for Washington, DC and Obama’s progressed chart delineating what he is working on now.

The Man:
Barack Obama is a Leo as is Bill Clinton. Both men are men of great heart as Leos as well as proud and willful.

Obama has Aquarius Rising leading me to sense that he is an innovator on a mission to save the world and able to observe and creative wildness serves him well. As a child of the 1960s he works single-mindedly towards his global / galactic dreams and visions. He must have a firm spiritual inner authority / practice to hold his own and this is clearly evident in the way he holds himself. The biggest danger is getting lost in the spin of his visions dreams and losing sight of where his is coming from and/or specific goals. However the Cabinet he has surrounded himself with represents a broad spectrum of grounding / counterpoint energies and can ideally present a good balance against spinning out so far.

Themes for Obama 09-10
We can expect him to be very creative in regard to how money is restructured in elegant ways. His progressed chart may reflect how we are feeling about the economy- wild forces at play. Obama will bring innovation and wonderful new dynamic ways of responding to the ebb and flow of a complex economy.

The focus of his life now is hard work and discipline in order to built a solid expansion. Astrologically he is in a very strong leadership position of listening, responding and showing the way.

The only possibility of a downside may be an estrangement from his wife and family (certainly a strain), peaking next year in Aug ’10. In September 10 and forward look to his administration to champion Women’s Rights in a new way.

The Relationship Between The USA and Obama
Obama has a strong sense of the American Dream and the work that is needed to make this dream into a reality for all peoples. The American Dream of peace and justice for all can be spread beyond the boarders of the US by the inspiration of his leadership.

Barack has a strong spirit an inner guidance where is sense of love and abundance is closely allied to the democracy that our founding fathers created over 230 years ago. He has the ability to tap into that spirit of entrepreneurial abundance and craft a new kind of security based on economy and love in practical terms.

If Obama can surrender the part of his ego that is most attached to the changes he is driven to make then the way of the change will be difficult but doable. If he tries too much at once the media / Republicans will shred him and defeat/block him at every turn in an impulsive devise manner.

The Kick-Off – Inauguration
The big question is do we want to look at the President as events relate to him or how he relates to events. Although it may sound like splitting hairs it isn’t. How couples relate to one another has two points of view. Couples, friends, employees – bosses have relational points of view.

Let’s look how Obama may respond within the parameters of the beginning of his presidency. Or – how will he serve the times:
The Inauguration Chart is Aquarian in nature leaning towards innovation in communication, community and exciting novel ways of solving old problems. Obama relates to these ways of community into two ways:
1. He expands into the ideas of community
2. He can work with great focus and discipline across ideologies both within America and globally.

His emotional intensity is exactly in-tune with Americans and our need for fundamental transformative change on a karmic level. His work ethic is geared towards a very focused new architecture for a working government.

The only danger is that the enormity of the problem should he decide to take on too much at once will overwhelm and defeat him.

The events of the world could help complete him in this lifetime or they could pull the rug out from under him sending him on a continuous scramble from one unstable island to the next. His Presidency could become one of fluff where he’s too lost in ideas, deluded and on cloud nine eventually wounded by events and blocked at every turn. I don’t believe that this will happen because he has a practical centrist vision whose plan is to unite moderates on either side of the aisle and he’s a dogged pragmatist.

What We Can Do:
We can participate with him through http://www.change.gov or through other venues. We can send him love and light. We can network in small and larger groups and work with visions of new communities. We can work with our representatives to bring about the changes we need to transform the world into the partnership – community culture that will be needed for seven generations.

See the World with One Heart in Peace

Suffering floating and softening
