Astro-blogging 4 an Obama win: The evidence. The US progressed Moon – symbolising the soul of the people – gives a very good indication of the country’s mood. This is particularly true for the US – where the Moon rules the Sun. At the start of this presidential campaign the Moon was in Leo. Leo is the sign of the soloist – the one man show – and with Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama locked in a fierce leadership battle – it pretty much was a one man show: McCain’s.
On August 22nd the US progressed Moon left Leo and moved into the double-bodied, vocal sign Virgo. Around this time, both candidates announced their running mate, so the real contest begins. With Mercury ruling the US prog. Moon, the people will be concentrating on the issues. Here the contrast between the candidates becomes visible through the policy debates. Now the people are required to excercise DISCERNMENT. A task that particularly lends itself to Virgo.
Barack Obama has his Moon in Gemini. At the time of the US election – the US progressed Moon (2 degs. 29) will be moving into opposition with the US progressed Sun (4 degs. 1 Pisces). Keeping the Saturnus/Uranus opposition in mind, this could give us some further evidence that the countrly will be badly divided. However, let’s think positively here. It also means that the US has reached the full moon phase of the Sun/Moon cycle and that means = Awareness. Barack Obama’s progressed Moon at 3 degrees Gemini ties up both ends of the opposition almost exactly. Barack Obama’s Moon and the US Moon are also both in a Mercury ruled sign. Barack Obama will give America the intellectual leadership it deserves.
Virgo is about cleansing and purifying, analyzing and criticising, separating the wheat from the corn. This is a thinking person’s Moon. We are talking service and lending a helping hand. Community. Virgo is about purity, honesty and good will.
The Moon in Virgo implies that the population agree with Barack Obama when he says about the last eight years: “The US can do better than this.”
