Next US Presidential astrologically: A Vedic Perspective

This article was published in the summer 2012 issue of the Astrologer’s Notebook from North Port, Florida, in which the natal horoscopes of both President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney were analyzed to draw a comparison of the planetary potential for both. The conclusion reached was like this: While planetary potential for both in relation to election in November, 2012 is equally strong, yet for astrological reasons recorded in the said article, President Obama has clear edge.

Astrological Indications of Potential Voters for President Obama and Governor Romney

US presidential Election 2012 Astrologically

This article was published on 18 August, 2012 in a blog owned by a world famous astrologer from Italy. Briefly speaking, horoscopes of Joseph Biden and Paul Rayan, the Vice Presidential candidates chosen respectively by Obama and Romney, were analyzed astrologically. It was concluded that the planetary potential of Joseph Biden seems to have an edge and better invigorating harmony with Obama. This prediction has been confirmed during the recent debate between Biden and Rayan. The Guardian of UK wrote: “Biden lifts Democrat hopes with forceful VP debate performance”

This writer had an opportunity to go through a news items by Rich Newman titled “Obamanometer: Economy Giving Obama a Sustained Lift” published in US News on 19 October, 2012. The news item read as “Falling gas prices and a rising stock market are helping the President”. This opinion further confirms this writer’s analysis that it is the operative Saturn which has potential to bring Obama to White House again in US Presidential election 2012, though not without struggle. In astrology, Saturn signifies gas and oil also, besides prosperity through adversity.

As said earlier here, Saturn is operative for President Obama before and during election. Saturn signifies darkness symbolically. On the other hand, the Sun is operative before and during the election for Governor Romney. The Sun signifies light. Therefore, in the opinion polls which are not real exact voting, the real exact picture about voting for Obama may not be coming to surface. In the case of Romney, however, the real exact seems to be appearing due to light. But when it comes to real voting on 6 November, real Obama seems to be coming from behind springing a surprise. In conclusion, in the light of astrological discussion, the planetary posture can be read to mean that on 6 November, Obama will have an edge by proving some contrary poll estimates wrong.
