Dear All:
Received this
This is a fascinating depiction of the Democratic runners for President...
from a friend re. the recent NY times Astrology Article...
But, unfortunately, it's soooo western/biased...
Here's John Kerry's chart...:
John Kerry, born on Dec. 11, 1943, is a Sagittarius with four Gemini planets in
the public relationship sector of his birth chart. He has a judicial character,
but also has little tolerance for fools. Born with the rare Mars retrograde, he
entered life with a rage — a deep, inner need to overcome (the Rev. Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. also had the Mars retrograde). He has a strong sense of
responsibility as well as feelings of caution about his message. Over the last
18 months the planets have empowered him with core strength. The long-term
picture depicts him achieving his highest goals.
Here's his Jyotish chart...for same day....
He's got Sun in Scorpio in his Jyotish chart and an Exalted Moon and Venus in Libra.
I think that's why he seems to come across as so genuine and careing.
And with Mars in Taurus with Exalted Mars, he's a kind of champion for 'causes'.
I think I'll look at a number of the candidates listed below in the New York times...
too bad it's just off so much.
But, at least people are being exposed to looking specifically at people's charts.../ specific
jyotish configurations...
Here's Howard Deans....
Howard Dean was born on Nov. 17, 1948, with a Scorpio Sun and Gemini Moon. Thus,
Dr. Dean's character contains a paradox: he is both deep and shallow. He can be
cool and distant or passionate and intense. The position of two of the planets
in his chart shows erratic energy and emotional volatility. His horoscope for
June 2003 through the coming spring shows a period of soul searching.
Astrologically, it is a time of the mythic "brother battle," in which Mr.
Dean's confrontations with others really reflect his own inner conflict.

Though he's got an exalted Moon in his chart as well!...wow...pretty cool...
but he's got Mars & Sun in Scorpio...and that pitta, fiery, side of his...got
him in trouble in the
early races like Iowa.... ....
and he's got a good Jupiter in Sagittarius though his Venus in Virgo...isn't
very helpful and would correspond to a strong 'criticalness'...which I don't
think will grab people...
And finally John Edwards...
John Edwards, born on June 10, 1953, is a Gemini with the Moon in Gemini. There
is much in his horoscope that makes him the puer aeternus, the eternal boy. His
mind is playful and rich with ideas. However, his chart shows him to be a true
son of the messenger and trickster god, and so capable of exceptional dualism.
His horoscope tells us that he abhors confrontation unless he knows he is
morally justified. Having battled inner demons over the last three years, Mr.
Edwards will rise this summer like a giant refreshed.
Wow... he's got an Exalted Moon too! .... woww...amazing...
and his Mercury's in Gemini which is why he's being appreciated for his intellectual clarity so far
And his Jupiter & Sun are with his exalted Moon too! .... mmmmmmmm
Then contrast these leaders with a couple of others from the past...
Infamous...
Richard Nixon...who was born on Jan. 9th, 1913...
Had a Moon in Capricorn which certainly fit his ambitious personality...but he
had that infamous Mars, with his Jupiter and Sun and Mercury all in
Sagittarius...
And his Mars, especially was exactly at the same degrees of his Mercury...so he
had some challenges....regarding honesty...and deception....
especially with his intellect!
Gerald Ford was the following President... July 14, 1913....
He had a Venus in Taurus, which represents a very genuine heart and a Mars in
Aries which represented a dynamic side to him, but, not untruthful....
His Jupiter is in Sagittarius just like his bud, Nixon, but the Mars is not
conflicting with the Jupiter as it was in Nixon's who felt he had to lie, even
if it was for a 'good' cause.
Gerald Ford also had his Saturn in the same sign as his Venus and aspecting his Moon and he
was often teased/criticized...for some sort of lack of coordination, his famous
falling down antics, would be symbolic of such a saturn...

This is not Joytish - but I guess the author claims to know something about Astrology.

The Stars Have Voted
By ERIN SULLIVAN

SANTA FE, N.M. — If seeking the presidency is like reaching for the stars, then
why not look to the stars — and the other heavenly bodies — for insights on the
candidates. The Democratic hopefuls face seven primaries today. Here's what
their astrological charts can tell voters about their character — and who may
have a celestial advantage:

Wesley Clark was born on Dec. 23, 1944, with Sun in Capricorn and Moon in Aries,
two leadership and executive signs. He has a warrior signature: when civilized
it indicates a master strategist; at its most martial, it is ruthlessly
determined and messianic. For him, this year is an astrological rite of passage
into elder status. His conservative Capricorn nature is now at its most
rigorous, so what we see is who he is. Endowed with wit and a youthful nature,
General Clark is a man's man. His horoscope shows him at a high point of
achievement, having opportunities to be influential and willing to take what he
can get.

Howard Dean was born on Nov. 17, 1948, with a Scorpio Sun and Gemini Moon. Thus,
Dr. Dean's character contains a paradox: he is both deep and shallow. He can be
cool and distant or passionate and intense. The position of two of the planets
in his chart shows erratic energy and emotional volatility. His horoscope for
June 2003 through the coming spring shows a period of soul searching.
Astrologically, it is a time of the mythic "brother battle," in which Mr.
Dean's confrontations with others really reflect his own inner conflict.

John Edwards, born on June 10, 1953, is a Gemini with the Moon in Gemini. There
is much in his horoscope that makes him the puer aeternus, the eternal boy. His
mind is playful and rich with ideas. However, his chart shows him to be a true
son of the messenger and trickster god, and so capable of exceptional dualism.
His horoscope tells us that he abhors confrontation unless he knows he is
morally justified. Having battled inner demons over the last three years, Mr.
Edwards will rise this summer like a giant refreshed.

John Kerry, born on Dec. 11, 1943, is a Sagittarius with four Gemini planets in
the public relationship sector of his birth chart. He has a judicial character,
but also has little tolerance for fools. Born with the rare Mars retrograde, he
entered life with a rage — a deep, inner need to overcome (the Rev. Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. also had the Mars retrograde). He has a strong sense of
responsibility as well as feelings of caution about his message. Over the last
18 months the planets have empowered him with core strength. The long-term
picture depicts him achieving his highest goals.

Dennis Kucinich, born on Oct. 8, 1946, has his Sun in Libra with its opposite
sign, Aries, rising at birth. This is the signature of the peaceful warrior,
who desires serenity but is willing to spar for it. The planetary formation at
birth endows Mr Kucinich with a profound dedication to conservation of
resources, both natural and manufactured. He is relentless in his pursuit of
justice and truth. He deeply empathizes with the collective suffering of
humanity. The planets show his life at a major juncture; he is only just
beginning to establish roots and a sense of real security.

Joseph Lieberman was born on Feb. 24, 1942. Although his exact time of birth is
uncertain, based on the Sun in Pisces and Moon in Gemini on his birth date, he
is primarily motivated by his intellect as it is applied to his spiritual
values. He is stubborn and not adaptable. His star chart shows him to be hard
working and reliable, but also feeling overwhelmed by his labors and the
influence of those around him. He is in a vital transitional phase. His
capacity to reveal himself is blocked, limiting his drive and ambitions.

Al Sharpton was born on Oct. 3, 1954. His birth time is also uncertain, but
based on the day of his birth, he is a Libra with the Moon in Sagittarius. His
horoscope reveals him as witty, quietly subversive, and having lofty
intentions. He is fascinated by other cultures and desires global harmony,
seeing the whole world as his home. Right now, his chart indicates he is
seeking a way to consolidate his many talents and focus on one or two main
themes. He will feel the increasing pressure of those who are in greater places
of power over the next 10 months.
