Ballot Day in the US is the day set by law for the choose of maintain officials. In our time it occurs on the lid Tuesday staff the lid Monday of November--so the earliest whatsoever time is November 2 and the spanking November 8.
For example 1792, the U.S. Association official the states to secure their presidential elections any time in a 34-day daylight at the forefront the lid Wednesday of December, which was the day set for the convergence of the the Electoral Academy. For the just beginning colonials, an choose time in November ensured that the churn out would wear been complete and the winter storms would not disrupt travel. In 1845 Tuesday was nominated as the day of determination, so that farmers and the public wandering by athlete and baby carriage could get to the district seat, wear a day to declare, and a day to return home deficient overbearing with the Sabbath. As Wednesday was wholesale Day, Tuesday was the total autonomy. Tuesday is ruled by Mars, and Mars convention the 10th run -- the run of the maintain -- in the Scorpionic America measure.
Primarily I consciousness it ominous that we would acquire our leaders on a day in which the enormous karaka, or significator, for the boss of our government, the Sun, is out of action. The Sun is out of action in the sign of Libra, for the time daylight in the midst of October 16 and November 15. As I mentioned in my aged post the Sun signifies the self, cause, the focus, and crowned heads. It is uncomfortable in the sign of Libra which confers an impending conception that is in effect like affair with groups and contact, but not for plunder its suitable place of cause. The Libra Sun of choose day annually conjoins the exhalted measure foremost, Saturn, of the Scorpionic US measure. This interested formation reveals the central part properly of power in the US -- the the public. It is telling of a nation in which the magnitude of the the public lead in the company of arrangement and checks and balances (Libra). Our leaders are maintain servants, not kings, who enact the thrust of the the public.
At the moment we wear mass choices give away how and like to declare, making it a unhappy detailed for Vedic Astrologers to cast an thing, or Prashna measure. But for the Presidential elections, I eternally next to set the measure details for choose day at the time that the polls open in Washington, DC. As this thing measure eternally has the Sun and Ascendant upward in the constellation of Libra, the key to interpreting the measure comes from the Moon which to me represents the the maintain, the thrust of the the public. On November 4, 2008 the moon thrust tetragon minute be in the sign of Capricorn and the nakshatra Uttara Ashada. This moon is within 4 degrees of John McCain's natal moon and within 2 degrees of Barack Obama's measure foremost, Saturn, and 7 degrees of dasha Noble Jupiter.
Uttara Ashada is called the "total star" that reflects its class encourage. Abraham Lincoln had his moon in this nakshatra which is ruled by the Vishvadevas, the ten sons of the god Dharma. The power of this asterism is to allow an unchallengable triumph (apradhrisya shakti); so which participant thrust this energy bless?
I keep the stars see Barack Obama, with his measure foremost AND dasha lord in Uttara Ashada. In specially Obama's natal Moon in the 5th run of scarce life accident is within one amount of the exhalted Moon in Taurus in the US measure. The Moon is a karaka symbol for the maintain as well as an individual's consciousness, so Obama's consciousness and accident is tied to that of the US. And he is government Jupiter-Moon Dasha. Jupiter is the amazing benefic, and it's dasha brings notably overthrow. In our time Jupiter is in its own sign of Sagittarius, but it thrust proposition to Capricorn, its sign of debilitation on December 9, 2008, the day the Electoral Academy meets for the Mulishness of Struggle as to Activity of Electors.
Obama's upward sign, measure foremost Saturn and Jupiter are all in Capricorn. Traditionally Jupiter is out of action in Capricorn, but in this encounter its retrograde pastime reverses the debilitation in what's called a Neecha Banga Raja Yoga. Jupiter equally gets dik bala or what's called directional vigor in the lid run AND I keep its pole in the lid run equally confers a Hamsa Yoga. A Hamsa Yoga is formed like Jupiter is in its own sign or exhalted (in this encounter in the company of a Neecha Banga Raja Yoga) in a Kendra Private house (confront 1,4,7,10) and it confers validity, insightful conception, and very good luck.
In specially, it is conjunct the measure foremost Saturn in its own sign or mulatrikona in the lid run, an confront, liberal unlike Pancha Mahapurusha raja yoga -- "yoga of very prohibitive the public". A Shashya Yoga is formed like Saturn is in its own sign or exhalted in a Kendra Private house and it confers power, tell off and cause. These Pancha Mahapurusha Raja Yogas angle Barack Obama's measure, and bearing in mind he is at this moment Jupiter's exclusive jaunt, all of this energy gun emplacements up at a very epic instant. It source that the Electoral Academy thrust wear a sharp-witted champ that day: Barack Obama.
