I've been listening to astrologers say Wow the Saturn-Uranus opposition will be exact on Election Day and ignoring it. Nobody has really said what they think it will mean. At this point nobody really knows what anything means except that many people are forecasting Gloom & Doom.

I know people have been talking about the Saturn-Uranus opposition in terms of the fact that the transit will go exact on Election Day. And I figure that people have been discussing this in terms of how it hits the U.S. Chart which will be strongly affected by this transit.

Transiting Saturn 19 Virgo opposite t.Uranus 19 Pisces

U.S. Mars 22 Gemini square U.S. Neptune 23 Virgo

That's pretty close.

The U.S.: Mars in Gemini to Neptune in Virgo square. That explains why the U.S. Media is as deceptive as the Government, but more fun to watch. Kind of weird that we're known for talking loudly, guess the Mars is dominant here. At any rate, that's a real Bread & Circus aspect. Build it and they will come... Like all things on the planet, there's a good side and a bad side to the aspect. And God knows if the U.S. doesn't figure out some new Dream to build on we're going to Hell in a Hand Basket. Pluto's been out in Sagittarius tickling that square with threats and Al Gore. Ideas anyone? GE just sold its lightbulb division. Time for a new Edison.

T. Saturn will be on the U.S. Neptune in Virgo. That's Depression. Cant' See the Forest for the Trees Depression. Bad Hygiene Depression. If I've told you once, I'll tell you a million times, watch your hands. Mars will be out in Gemini challenging this Depression, probably frantically trying to wash its hands of this Depression, with all kinds of Geminian ideas of how to fix things. And since Mercury will be squaring Uranus, it's higher octave, the U.S. might be really trying to bring about some Innovation. (Mars in Gemini definitely is going to want a new type of car, painted red with plenty of rpm's, whatever they are.) With the t-square, though, we might have to go through a phase of "Build It and It will Fall Apart." Humor will be needed. Sagg Rising Humor, not Gemini Rising humor, by the way.

So, then I looked at John McCain's chart and Barack Obama's charts to see where the Saturn-Uranus opposition will be placed and what it's hitting, bam, bam, bam.

In Obama's chart, Uranus has been in his first House. That's why he's all about being the Maverick. Uranus also rules his Chart. This will be opposed by Saturn in the 7th. I'm reading some negative interps into that which I don't want to say. Overall, I think the time is right for him as long as he doesn't forget about the Country. And Neptunians, they do tend to forget...

Thing about Obama's chart that I really don't like is the Sun-Neptune square which is deceptive and the fact that Neptune is hitting his Ascendant right now which is going to emphasize. We've already had 8 years of leaders going through heavy Neptune transits and it's been pretty disastrous. If Obama finds a healthy, sincere, upbeat, honest group of people to run the country it will be a miracle. He has to get over the fact that with Neptune and Uranus in the 1st house, he is the one he wants to be his own miracle. And it's not really about him. It's about the Country. The whole Country. Not just White Ivy Leaguers and Blacks.

Then there's John McCain. This guy has close to a Grand Square in his natal chart. What do you expect for a War Hero anyway? The Saturn-Uranus opposition is going to be laid over the Saturn-Neptune opposition. This is receiving squares from natal Jupiter and Chiron which are not opposing each other so the Grand Square thing isn't exact. If he's pacing himself well right now while Saturn is trampling his natal Sun he'll be fine. Saturn can wear you down. Republican masseuses and nutritionists round the country should be coddling this man. Yes, Cindy, you can give him up for that. I didn't say fondling.

I don't have the dates available for when John McCain was taken POW in Vietnam but do know that this Saturn-Uranus opposition is opposing itself from sometime in the 60s. So, he could be taken Hostage again. Is there any difference between a Vietnamese Prisoner of War camp and the White House? The oppositions I'm talking about are layered over his chart very close to the 6th-12th house axis, 12th house = prison.
