The fundamental difference between Obama and Romney is that
our President is a Leo, a fire sign whose energy is more
outgoing, whereas the Governor is a Pisces, a water sign
that tends to be more reserve. The Sun is the planet that
indicates what we identify with and what gives us pride and
fulfillment. Romney’s Pisces Sun occupies the 11th sector
pointing to large dreams and working best with groups.
Obama’s Leo Sun occupies the 6th of service and work
duties. Obama is more of an extrovert but with his heart
and passion directed towards helping those in need. Romney
is a very private man not just because he is a Pisces but
his Moon falls in the powerful but hidden sign of Scorpio
that sits next to expansive, generous Jupiter in the 6th of
service. I am sure Romney has contributed a great deal to
help others but it’s not his nature to publicize his
charitable contributions or his personal life. They have
other similarities, as they should since both are
successful leaders in government and politics. Obama’s Moon
is in intellectual Gemini and Romney’s rising sign is also
in Gemini but more significant is that the karmic Nodes are
in each of their rising signs pointing to a life of destiny
that is not fully in their control.
The liberal politics of our President would be indicated
from his Aquarius rising sign, the place in the horoscope
describing how he would express himself to the world.
Aquarius is the humanitarian but also one who is
progressive, scientific and innovative. Aquarius also rules
Romney’s 10th sector, which describes his career and
professional status, and the ruler of the sign is Uranus
that occupies his 1st sector of the personality. I don’t
really find strong indicators for Romney being a staunch
conservative but he could shake-up and re-invent the
Republican Party and bring it back more to the center. The
more I study their horoscopes the more similarities I
discover even though their personal styles may be very
different I would think they are both politicians who want
our country to progress forwards with new ideas, technology
and science, which are the hallmarks of Uranus and Aquarius
that are strong in each of their horoscopes.
It is very difficult to judge who will win the Presidency.
Saturn, the planet of government and responsibilities is
changing signs to Scorpio in October for the first time in
nearly 30 years. Scorpio is a water sign and more
compatible with Romney who has 5 planets in water signs.
Saturn in Scorpio is more challenging for Obama’s Leo Sun,
Gemini Moon and Aquarius rising sign. But before I predict
that Mitt Romney will win I recall how I predicted that
McCain would lose but Hillary Clinton would be the nominee
because Obama’s chart pointed to great hardships in 2009
and Hillary Clinton indicated expansive success. But as
hindsight is 20/20 we discover that even though Hillary
lost the nomination she went on to become a very successful
Secretary of State and Barack Obama won but his first term
has been extremely challenging. I should have taken into
account that in the fall of 2008 the US economy was on the
verge of collapse and whoever would have been elected would
have had a very stressful job. Therefore, Romney’s future
points to more successes and Obama to more hardships but
does that mean Romney becomes President or does it mean
that his candidacy opens even more doors for greater
successes and wealth as a private citizen?
I believe the race will be very close because of some of
what I described above but I am not publicly giving a
prediction of who will win because it only creates a
climate of polarization and “let’s kill the messenger.”
However, I will tell you what other astrologers are
predicting. I attended UAC (United Astrology Conference)
this year in New Orleans and on the last day of the
conference they had 5 esteemed astrologers (4 Western and 1
Vedic) on a panel discussing their techniques for making
election predictions and who they believed would win. All 5
said Obama would be re-elected. I then went on my third
trip to attend a Vedic 10 day seminar on the East Coast
with 3 major Vedic astrologers from India; Gayatri Devi
Vasudev, the daughter of Dr. B V Raman (the most famous
Vedic astrologer of the 20th Century), Dr. Charak, a
surgeon and astrologer who has written the best books on
medical astrology, and Vinay Aditya (my teacher when I
travel to Delhi). Gayatri and Vinay predicts Obama will win
but the very brilliant Dr. Charak predicts it will be
Romney who will become President. It would seem that the
consensus is an Obama win but Dr. Charak’s prediction makes
me stop and wonder which way the US Election will go. One
last interesting note; on November 6, 2012 when Americans
go to the polls the planet Mercury turns retrograde and
several of the astrologers on the UAC panel thought it
could indicate that the election will be so close that we
will not know who wins that day and may not know for
several weeks.
