Obama is 80% likely to be elected. Everything (non astrologically) is alinged for him to be the president. Bets are heavily placed for Obama to win and McCain to lose.

So, really, only a miracle would save McCain. But, is that miracle related to racism?

Election day chart

The election day's Scorpio and Capricorn planets are rather heavy... and they show discrimination at a high intensity. It could be either positive or negative for Obama but the day is discriminatory for sure.

So, What do you think? We have already seen several astrologers putting McCain as the winner based on astrology. If it really happens, then is it because there is a 'hidden' discrimination in white/non black voters that will prevail on the election day?

I don't mean to offend anyone by putting this question.. but, we've got a rather historical day coming up in the worst American crisis since Great Depression.. And, it would be interesting to review your views..

(Americans or Non Americans please feel free to respond)

Everything is aligned for Obama to win? lol

That's the Magi Astrology

being a liberal Democrat,I want Obama to win. I have already marked him down on my absentee ballot for president.

making money off a McCain win is tempting...especially if I can get 400 percent.

Transiting Jupiter is in my 5th house squaring my Uranus in 2nd right now....hahahah

Transiting Chiron-North Lunar Node is trining my Uranus in 2nd.

Transiting Jupiter/Uranus midpoint(Cosmobiology founder,Reinhold Ebertin nicknamed it "Thank The Lord" will be squaring my chart ruler,Mercuryin 3rd on Election Day. Actually transiting Jupiter is sextile my Mercury and transiting Uranus is trining my Mercury on Election Day.

so, are the Tiger Woods of the US just token heroes or it only gets like this when it comes to presidential elections? God. I can sort of understand the African American chip that they year on their shoulders.

we have never had a "black" president. before kennedy we never had a Catholic president. or a president so young. now catholicism is not so much an issue, and we have had several pres. in their forties. we still have yet to elect a woman to the top office though several other countries have done so. there's a first time for everything and magi aside i don't think the astrology points to either man, though with hindsight we will be able to say otherwise!

like Steven Forrest said, we have a "Tower of Babel" situation in Astrology.

I thought Bush would be elected in 2004 because of his Cinderella transits of transiting Chiron to his Venus and transiting Neptune to his Chiron, and Kerry only had 1 Cinderella Transit,and that was transiting Venus to his Chiron. The faster moving transits are not as important as slower moving transits in the Magi Astrology system.

I didn't believe Hillary would be president because of transiting Neptune in t-square to her Mercury square Saturn as well as transiting Chiron square her Venus.

but any ways, I am hoping for an Obama election even though imho Magi Astrology points to a McCain election.

btw as the son of a black man and white woman like Barack Obama, I reject the one drop rule and embrace and acknowledge all my heritage.
I wish the country would get rid of the unofficial one drop rule(you're part black,and so you're black) which I feel should have been abolished since June 12, 1967 Loving vs. Virginia Supreme Court Ruling that struck down all interracial marriage ban laws in USA. Mixed people shouldn't have to choose just 1 racial category. US 2000 Census allowed mixed people to mark down more than 1 race, and yeah I did just that. Too many mixed people feel that they are caught up in racial tug-a-wars....no wonder many of us are looked at as "confused"

is there any wonder that according to Rex E. Bill's rulership book, Neptune is listed as ruler of Mulattoes along with Saturn which is also listed as ruler of Blacks. Uranus and Neptune are listed as ruler of mixtures.

there is a minor grand trine of Venus in Sagittarius,Neptune in Aquarius,and Eris in Aries on election day, and maybe that will indicate tolerance and acceptance of diversity and dissolving racial boundaries.

looking from the evolutionary astrological perspective.....Jeffrey Wolf Green uses the planetary nodes

I believe that Eris has to do with diversity,ideology....(like "my views are right and yours are wrong" which Eris' discoverer Michael Brown pointed out about how mythological Eris caused men to fight)

Jeffrey Wolf Green believes that north planetary node and its dispositor have to do with karmic present life indicators and the south planetary node and its dispositor have to do with karmic pastlife indicators.

North Eris Node is in Taurus, and its dispositor is in Venus in Sagittarius. Like I said before, Venus is in minor grand trine with Eris and Neptune. Eris in easy aspect to the dispositor of its North Node could be good for diversity. But...Venus in Sagittarius is squares the opposition of Saturn in Virgo and Uranus in Pisces, and this could indicate extreme tension as well as the conflict of old way of things vs. new way of things when it comes to diversity.

South Eris Node is in Scorpio, and its dispositor Pluto is in the last degree of Sagittarius. To me, that seems like a time of resolving pastlife karma involving racial diversity issues. Pluto is also sextiling Mercury, and so has to do with communications racial diversity issues. Mercury disposits Saturn in Virgo,and it might support the old way of doing things.

and while it may be true that racism is less prevalent in europe that was not my experience there...though people of all colours tend to live together, the english consider Indians "black" , the french look down on the algerians, it happens everywhere...neither france, spain, germany, england or any of the european powers have ever elected a black, brown or yello man (or woman) to the top job as far as i know.

this seems to hold true in reverse in countries where dark skin is the rule - they do not elect whites either.

however this current generation, and glaucus's, are so heavily populated with mixed people that i am hopeful the situation may balance out in our lifetimes at least if not next month...

No.

The colour of money ~ that's what will win the election here in the U.K.

The average person on the street is concerned most about their wallet.

Prejudice exists everywhere, it's true. If you overhear that average English person moaning about any racial grouping it will most likely be about Poles and East Europeans (taking all the jobs, etc) ~ though if you work somewhere like I do where all staff get sent to an Equality and Diversity workshop you might feel like you have been catapulted back in time 25 years. The woman running it looked amazed when I said her notions of race as colour-based weren't really representative of modern multi-cultural Britain.

Do you mean that English people refer to Indians as black?

The Tiger Woods reference was to highlight that if you can admire one person of colour for their abilities, why can't you admire another one for their abilities? I used the word hero to define his role in people's lives, not his occupation or education level.

Are you sure you didn't hear the term BME (Black/minority/ethic?) as this covers all minority ethnic groups

Asians (Indians, Pakistanis or Sri-Lankans) are referred to as either Asian or lumped in one group (usually by children) & called "Indian"

It was common to call Asians another name, but this was prevalent in the 70's. I’m not saying that racism is a thing of the past in the UK, it's still here but it's covert quite a contrast to the "in your face" racist ignorance such as calling black people "coloreds, N-word or Sambo" or Asians the P word, or mixed race people "half-caste" or other ignorant labels.

Ive digressed a bit, but I'm curious to know more.
