Longevity Prospects for George W. Bush

[Guest guest]

I recently received the January issue of The Astrological Magazine by the Raman group in Bangalore. http://www.astrologicalmagazine.com/ The feature article is entitled World Trends and Tensions which outlines various astrological tendencies for the major countries of the world during the year 2003. I noticed that the editor, Gayatri Devi Vasudev, suggests in various places that the president of the USA could be the object of an assassination attempt. In relation to the USA, she says that " leading political figures will be the targets this year... Any slackness in the security for the head of the country, especially while travelling and flying, can prove costly for the nation," that " The first family may need extrordinary security " and that " the president and the first family may be vulnerable to a violent attempt." Let us examine the astrological justifications for her comments in the horoscope itself of George Winston Bush.

 

What strikes our attention is that the president's longevity isn't so strong to begin with. We can say this because Saturn is afflicted in the ascendent by two bad lords, including Mercury as the lord of two maraka houses. For Bush's ascendent, Cancer, Saturn is the natural planetary indicator of longevity, the lord of the house of longevity and the lord of an additional maraka house ( the seventh ). So his affliction in the very ascendent curtails the prospects for longevity.

 

The major planetary period of Saturn is currently operating. Given the astrological alignment in his chart, how will it be possible for G.W. Bush to pass out of the final part of the major Saturn period without a visit to the court of Yama?

 

We notice that the lord of the current sub period, Jupiter ( Saturn-Jupiter ), does sit in a marakasthan, the third, and it owns another, the sixth. Even so, Bush will probably have the success of the Jupiter sub period right up until his appointment with destiny- Jupiter owns the house of war and is well placed in various ways. But since Jupiter's is the last sub period of the major period of Saturn, we have to expect Saturn-Jupiter to be fatal.

 

Sthira dasha is a system of planetary periods specifically dealing with longevity. In the sthira scheme, the last half of 2003 is particularly deadly for the U.S. president.

 

Another point to factor in is that the Sun of George W. Bush sits right in the house of loss, suggesting that his end will come as the chief executive.

 

Transit-wise, Jupiter enters a negative transit at the end of July. At this point, both of the major transit planets, Jupiter and Saturn, will be passing through negative houses. By mid August, Mercury, the Sun, Jupiter and Venus will all be occupying the house of loss, aspected by the violent Mars. This time period is the most dangerious of all for George W. Bush.
