ARTICLES FROM CURRENT ASTROLOGERS

Back on track, the Solar Eclipse in Leo’s effects worldwide, are significant disruptive effects on the people and nations concerned, economic (in the U.S., stock market problems due to gas prices and the foreclosure mess), political crises and civil unrest. Solar Eclipses also seem to either trigger, or amplify, natural events in the regions they affect (e.g., severe weather, earthquakes). Whether this effect is an astrological one or not, is a moot point.

“There is still another side to Obama’s Solar Return Eclipse after the August 1, 2008 eclipse, however, which some astrologers have already suggested. Alluding to a previous eclipse on 22 Feb. ’08 with this comment about Obama’s possible fate, “that it seems there have been instances of large numbers of people not being screened by the police for weapons when they come to Obama’s rallies, that this is deliberate, and may have been ordered by higher authorities. His Solar Return, with that Angular Moon/Mars-Uranus-Pluto t-square, also points to extreme danger to his life from violent attack from August onwards.” This is disturbing indeed!

In addition to Obama’s Sun sign, he also has two other Leo natal planets. He has the natal, mentioned before Sun, Uranus, as well Mercury in this stelliam of Leo planets. Presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Clinton again, also has some natal Leo planets as well, but NOT a natal Sun. Her natal Leo planets are Mars, Saturn and Pluto. She has a natal Scorpio Sun, Venus and retrograding Mercury. Which brings up the Election Day, ’08, November 4th, once again. Election Day has the Sun in Scorpio, Mercury in Scorpio and Mars in Scorpio. Interestingly enough too, is that Republican Presidential hopeful, Sen. John McCain has the natal Mars in Leo, same as Sen. Clintons. If Condoleezza Rice is McCain’s running mate her Scorpio stellium of the Sun, Venus, Saturn and Mercury all in Scorpio may strengthen McCain’s position considerably.
