Good job ccpup on the astrology reading last week.

You may have lost your specific bet, that HRC would win MS, but you were right on about the struggle Obama would face last week.

He did sustain a punch in the gut with the preacher thing. And you predicted it. (And I think O. did a good job this week of dealing with the controversy.)

Sun opposite one's Mars is crisis. Confrontation. And, if one's ego is in the way or if one is expecting or assuming a certain result from something, a strong sense of anger and frustration. Now, this transit happens the day AFTER the Mississippi Primary for Barack. But he does have the continued passage of Tr Jupiter sextile his Ascendant and that aspect will be exact this day as well, but that Tr Sun does indeed meet in a head-to-head battle with his Mars, so I'm not sure which aspect will "win".
...
But he still has that Tr Saturn inching closer to his Moon all the while trine Hillary's SP Sun -- which receives an electrifying opposition from Tr Mars after he leaves the trine to her Natal Sun -- while still in opposition (right now) to his SP Chiron. Old hurts being revisited by the Task Master himself. And with the backdrop of Neptune quincunx his Mars?

Perhaps Barack has a fear of being put on-the-spot (humanitarian, group-oriented Aquarius South Node -- his comfort zone -- with a love-the-spotlight Leo North Node -- the scary path he has to walk to bring balance -- conjunct the ruler of that Aquarius South Node, Uranus -- the Grand daddy of Sudden Reversal of Fortune) and bristles when the Press digs too deep, becomes too insistent or cuts too close to the bone with it's questions?

So, in brief, the day after the Primary we have Barack being hit by a one day transit of the Sun to his Mars indicating confrontation, anger and frustration with Neptune still quincunx his Mars but Jupiter still sextile his Ascendant.

1. Yeah truly

Where the heck did he go. . .?

[crikkett]

3. What do you mean?

He gave a kick-ass speech earlier this week and then taped a thing with some soldiers against the war that's being aired on MTV today. HRC also did a segment. McCain, scheduling conflict.

7. Excellent work; spot on.

I hope ccpup will be back with more. I hope he won't be put off by the partisan harrassment that greeted the last installment.
