with 14'17 Aquarius Ascendant (Mu'Min Bey said that Aquarius is one of
the interracial,international signs)
with 25'44 Scorpio Midheaven

His Uranus squares Midheaven with only 28 minutes of arc
His Eris sesquiquadrates Midheaven with 14 minutes of arc
His Uranus sesquiquadrates Eris with 13 minutes of arc
(Uranus,Eris,Midheaven 8th harmonic triangle)
Eris oppose Uranus/Midheaven midpoint - '00 (WOW)

with the Uranus,Eris,Midheaven configuration, he can be about change,diversity which could rub people the wrong way and stir things
up. I believe that configurations like this could involve bringing out issues with ideology and controversy. This configuration can seem
like a person who is considered too be liberal or too far left for society. Of course,it can indicate his unusual background which can
be his bi-ethnic black,white parentage and multicultural background.
I am like him in those things. I have my Uranus-Eris opposition aspecting my Midheaven(Eris sextile Midheaven,Uranus trine Midheaven)

His Mercury conjunct Eris/Midheaven midpoint with 48 minutes of arc
That could indicate communicating about diversity but communications can be controversial

He has Eris conjunct Node/Midheaven midpoint - 1'01
interestingly I have Midheaven square Eris/Node - '08

I am thinking that indicates the diverse heritage,divergent,being an advocate,civil rights,controversial

He did work as a civil rights lawyer

Sun trine Eris - 2'02
Sun contraparallel Eris - '22
(Sun-Eris bilevel)
could indicate divergent self expression...can be controversial

Eris parallel Ascendant - '07 can indicate a diverse,divergent personality that can be controversial

Midheaven conjunct Pluto/Ascendant - '06 can indicate his ability to
be transformational,intense,powerful

Neptune oppose Mercury/Ascendant - '18 can indicate an inspirational,idealistic communication but there can be issues with
deception,confusion,illusion

Ascendant oppose Mercury/Uranus - '29 - communicating change,reform with others

He already has Sun conjunct Mercury/Uranus midpoint - 1'15 - self expression,communicating change and reform

Ascendant oppose Mercury/Node - '31 - strong communication connection/relationships....making connections with others through speeches,communications

Moon oppose Mars/Ascendant - '11 - passionate feelings, passionate
relationships with women

Saturn sextile Midheaven - '24 - can be disciplined with career,can
have the opportunity to be in authority. He can be conservative in a way that balances out his liberalism with his Uranus square Midheaven.
So he can be a moderate.

There is more stuff,but I will quit for now....the direct Eris midpoints involving the Midheaven are very interesting.....especially
the exact Eris oppose Uranus/Midheaven midpoint.

I believe that he really is meant to bring change and shake up the USA whether people like it or not....and it rubs many people the wrong
way....especially the people who like things to stay as they are.
Barack Obama challenges the status quo. He's strange and unfamiliar to many people including especially the white working class. The
Aquarius Ascendant fits with that too.

I can’t promise you this is real, but I can promise you it’s interesting. Tonight at the opening ceremony (and I do mean ceremony) for the United Astrology Conference (UAC), a new birth time on Barack Obama was announced. As Planet Waves Astrology News readers are aware, birth times for all the major candidates have been in contention or unreliable, which is unprecedented in modern astrological history.

The time was announced by Dallas astrologer Joni Patry, who said she obtained it from a client who works for the Obama campaign. She in turn obtained it from a “campaign manager” who accessed the data through a closed-access government database.

The time is 7:11 pm, and the date (as known previously) Aug. 4, 1961 in Honolulu. The chart gives 14+ Aquarius rising.

Patry told me that since it was obtained from a “private government website,” a copy of the document would not be available. It cannot, therefore, be authenticated and under the Lois Rodden rating system, which sets the industry standard, it is “dirty data” or DD rating because there is not documentation, and there are conflicting times.

Sources at the conference told me that people from the late Rodden’s company, Astrodatabank, were working with Patry and others to verify the authenticity of the documentation involved.

Short of that, what is possible is to check the horary chart for the announcement, which will yield information. The announcement was made in Denver tonight, May 16 at 9:39 pm. The chart contains no apparent strictures against judgment — or astrological cues prohibiting investigating the horoscope. Therefore, we can proceed with some confidence.

The ruler of the Sagittarius ascendant (in the horary chart) is Jupiter, who we find retrograde in Capricorn the 2nd house.

The Moon is in Libra and is precisely trine Neptune. The Moon is in the 11th house of a public gathering and Neptune is on the cusp of the 3rd house, the news. Cancer is on the 8th house cusp. The 8th is the house of secrets, which fits the story of a “secret database.”

Mercury, a vital planet in such a question, is in its own sign Gemini, in the 7th house, extremely close to the descendant, providing a kind of warning that the trickster is afoot and that we are looking directly at him.

I will have a deeper analysis of the chart in an upcoming edition, and I plan to buttonhole Geoffrey Cornelius, one of the world’s masters of horary who is at the conference, and put the question to him.

I am gonna go back to the ice cream social, but hey you heard it here first.
