Guest guest Posted January 17, 2001 Report Share Posted January 17, 2001 HAIL TO THE CHEIF, PART 1C THE ASTROLOGY OF THE INAUGURATION OF THE 43RD PRESIDENT As Mundane Astrological Specialist Nick Campion says so well in his Book of World Horoscopes, the chart cast for the inauguration of a nation's Leader can yield much information, as well as to highlight key events in terms of timing. Several USA Inaugural horoscopes of the Past have given us startling clues into their President's terms. Perhaps the most striking in recent times was the second Inauguration of Bill Clinton - in that horoscope, Neptune, the planet of Political Scandal, was precisely upon the Midheaven, occupying the highest place in the Heavens. Only a year later, allegations of Clinton having an affair with a White House intern began to grow out of proportion, with Clinton finally answering the question before the American public in Jan of 1998, only to have the whole thing backfire on him later that year. His Inaugural chart, as well as that of other Presidents, gives tremendous insight into a Presidential term. George W. Bush's Inauguration, set for Jan 20th, 2001, contains a similar signal of Scandal - in addition, the entire horoscope focuses emphatically on Social Issues, such as Race, Abortion, the Role of Religion and its ties to Matters of the State; additionally, there are real issues Economically to be dealt with. There is the strong indication that Bush will be dragged into International Conflict, and even personally threatened himself. His Administration, already weakened by being born "premature" and himself tainted by the perception of illegitimacy during the Election Court Battles of the last year, is now officially "born" with several key Astrological "birth defects"; while his administrative picks look good on paper, and together as an ensemble, there are definitely cracks in the foundation that threaten to break down under the strain. Bush will be challenged by gridlock in the Congress, highlighted as never before by the 2000 Elections, and is likely to be frustrated at every turn. His best possible chance for success however, could come in terms of the Economy, much as it did for Clinton (Neptune widely conjunct the Sun in the 10th, with the Sun in Aquarius, along with 3 other planets in the same Sign, and the Moon-Pluto combination in Sagittarius in the 8th, signifying debt, scandal, secrets, intrigue, Abortion, and more. Mars in Scorpio in the 7th, tightly opposing the Asc and exactly squaring Mercury in the 10th, with Saturn Retrograde in the 1st and ruling the 9th and 10th. AP = Saturn/Neptune, Asc = Uranus/Neptune. Uranus ruling the 11th house of the Congress = Mars/Saturn, Saturn in the 1st and ruling the 9th and 10th = Mars/Jupiter. Jupiter Retrograde = Mars/Pluto, successful action with regard to the Economy; Jupiter rules the 8th and placed in the 1st house; Mercury, ruling the 2nd conjoins Uranus in Aquarius in the 10th). The ties between this chart and that of George W's is highly significant - the Inaugural MC exactly opposes his Saturn (ruling his 6th house, employment and military forces), the Inaugural Asc squares his Pluto (suggesting tremendous power being bestowed upon him) and Mercury (trying to focus on Education); the Inaugural Moon exactly opposes Bush's Uranus and dragging in the Inaugural Pluto (extreme tensions with the Public, specifically over matters of Race) and, most importantly, the Inaugural Neptune tightly opposes Bush's Asc (an Ego "wipeout", scandal, befuddlement, intrigue). Additionally, the Vedic version of the Inaugural confirms many of the same signs as its Western counterpart - the Moon is in Scorpio in the 8th house (scandal), with Mars in the 7th, ruling the Asc (war, possible danger to the President); the Moon, the key planet in any Horoscope, is severely weakened, both by its house and Sign placement, as well as being hemmed between two malefics (the Public, and debt, as the Moon is placed in the 8th; Abortion can be seen in this symbol as well). Two Trik Lords, the rulers of the 6th and 8th houses, are placed in the 10th and 7th houses respectively, suggesting the strength of Bush's Presidency being weakened. Jupiter, ruling the 9th and placed in the 2nd, strong in the Varga Bala, along with Saturn ruling the 10th, suggests things getting better on the Economic front (these two planets together, form a strong Raja Yoga on the 2nd house of National Finance and Wealth). Venus is in the 4th from the Moon and rules the 2nd and 7th from the Asc, pointing to Social Issues and Domestic Policy. Rahu in Gemini aspects the 7th holding Mars, while Ketu in Sag in the 9th aspects the Asc, bringing International Concerns and Military Action into focus. We can expect all of these things to be dominant throughout Bush's Presidency. PREDICTION: THE 1ST 100 DAYS ARE DERAILED George W. Bush ran on a strong Education Platform, bolstered by references of "Compassionate Conservatism" to address the social needs of the Public; he advocated a "humble" approach towards International Policy, and vowed to be a "uniter, not a divider". The Astrological Climate in both Bush's Western and Vedic horoscopes suggests that his goals, mainly his chief one, Education, is likely to be derailed by Partisan political fights, Congressional gridlock, unforeseen National issues (like the Energy Crisis in California), and Personal Scandal. After a brief Honeymoon period, the first signs of Scandal, most likely surrounding the hotly contested election results, could appear in mid to late Feb; if not, the late Summer looks to be the most likely time that it could all come out in the wash. A veritable War of Words is likely to manifest over the Economy, between Bush's team and the Congress, while the Public continues to be irritated with the ensuing gridlock, controversy, and acrimony. After some delays, Bush's plans for a Tax Cut could be seen as early as June or July of this year; if not, the Early Fall will have to do. The Energy Crisis in California will take precedence over all else, with the emergency coming under control around the same time the Tax Cuts come through, this coming Summer. However, there are still the Oil Concerns and sources from which they come, the Middle East. With tensions raging unabated between Israel and the Palestinians, with the OPEC nations continuing their stranglehold on oil, Bush will find himself forced to enter the fray to mediate a Peace between the two warring factions as well as forced to face-up to the very real possibility of yet another Energy Crisis dawning in the Summer, just as the Electricity Problem in California comes under control His major platform issue, Education, will have to wait (Western chart: SA Venus = Sun, exact Jan 2001, signifying the "the honeymoon"; for the Personal Scandal, possibly surrounding the Elections in Florida - tr Neptune opposed his Asc, all year, with the highlight coming in late Aug, with SA Neptune = Sun, on the heels of the second exact pass of Neptune to Bush's Asc; for the Gridlock, the Tax Cuts, etc. - SA Moon representing the Public = Mars, SA Saturn = Uranus, ruling Bush's 8th and placed in his 11th of Congress tr Saturn square Mars in the 2nd. For the Energy Crisis, Electricity and Oil - tr Uranus, ruling Electricity opposed Venus, ruling the 10th, tr Neptune ruling Oil opposes the Asc from the 7th and ruling the 9th, Foreign Lands. Vedic chart: Moon-Moon Dasa runs until Feb 2001, when Moon-Mars takes over, Mars in the 12th from the Moon, denoting loss, in this case, financial loss, as Mars is placed in the 2nd house from Bush's Asc; this same symbol, Mars also represents War, and placed in the 12th, foreign lands; Mars = Electricty and Oil. Scandal can be seen in this same period as well - Mars is the 8th lord from the Moon and placed in the 12th therefrom, and will run until Sep 2001. Possible relief financially, can be seen in the Moon-Rahu period, beginning Sep 2001, although this same period suggests strongly International Involvement - Rahu is in the 9th from the Moon and aspects the 7th from the Asc.). THE JOHN ASHCROFT CONTROVERSY As a final point for Part One of this Series, it is fitting to look ahead to the Astrology of one of the most controversial issues of the in-coming Bush Presidency to date, that of Attorney General designee John Ashcroft. Seen as an Ultra-Conservative Radcial by both his colleagues and his opponents, Ashcroft's strident stands against Abortion, Affirmative Action, Civil Rights and strong, almost zealous advocacy of the Christian Faith has caused an unprecedented number of groups across America to form a coalition to fight against his confirmation. At the same time, another group, comprised mainly of Republican women, has lined the other side of the Battlefield, vowing support for Ashcroft, and by extension, Bush. With the Bush Team reeling from the Linda Chavez debacle, it is highly unlikely that they will back away from Ashcroft, yet Bush promised to work with both sides of the Political Aisle. Ashcroft's Confirmation Hearing takes place on Tuesday, Jan 16, 2001, at 1:30PM in Washington, D.C. The horoscope (Western) for the event, is very enlightening: The ruler of the Asc (Ashcroft) is Mercury, placed in Aquarius (Ideology) in the 9th and approaching the MC (Attorney General's Office); Uranus is placed in the 10th, in its own Sign, which Mercury applies conjunction towards (10th is this case also symbolizing the Senate Judiciary Committee). Passions run high among the general membership of the Senate; we can expect there to be a good bit of bickering, event arguments, on the Senate floor, over Ashcroft. Partisan lines, while likely to rear its ugly head, will not be as acute as might be expected, and at the end of the day, Ashcroft will be confirmed, with all of the Republicans and at least 10 of the Democrats (Venus in the 11th square Pluto in the 7th, Venus + Pluto = Sun/Moon; Mercury square Mars, applying; Moon in Libra VOC, i.e., "it's a done deal".) Taking this horoscope and superimposing it over the USA chart, reveals again those close ties that we have become so familiar with so far - the Confirmation Asc exactly conjuncts the USA Asc and Uranus; its MC conjoins the USA MC and Moon; its Uranus conjuncts the USA Moon; its Moon is squared the USA Mercury-Pluto axis; its Mars is square the USA MC and Moon, and more. Again, another major event in US History, proved by the USA horoscope. In Part Two of this Series, we will look at the role the Planets Neptune and Saturn play in Politics, and what this can mean for the next President, George W. Bush.
