Barack Obama's ACG Map
NewsScope; November 3, 2008. With Uranus, Pluto, and Mars found in his seventh house, Barack Obama will inevitably come across some powerful personalities over the next four years – assuming he takes office in January. In traditional astrology, these three planets are known as "malefics", and
they tend to bring problems and conflict in whatever house they're located. The seventh house is the house of partners as well as open enemies.
Using the technique of AstroCartoGraphy, Obama's three seventh-house planets can be projected onto the global map, where they can pinpoint potential hotspots. As it happens, most of the usual suspects fall under the umbrella of Obama's ACG Uranus, Pluto, and Mars lines.
His Pluto is at the Midheaven in North Korea, and his Pluto Ascendant line runs parallel to what was formerly known as the Iron Curtain in Eastern Europe.
In the all-important Middle East, Obama's Mars Ascendant line runs north-south right on the Iraq-Iran border. This line gets activated immediately, since transiting Uranus is opposing Obama's Mars. Consequently, this area will be at the top of his foreign policy agenda. This Mars line runs north into Russia, and passes not far from Moscow, so one might also expect trouble from the Russian bear.
Another progression shaping up is a Venus-Uranus conjunction, which will be exact in July 2009. On the world map, this conjunction passes right through the middle of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Currently, Obama has a progressed Mercury-Mars conjunction. This found expression in
Obama in Moscow
NewsScope; November 10, 2008. Following last week's article on Obama's ACG map, a reader from Latvia wanted to know more about Obama's Pluto line running through Eastern Europe: "Putin, honestly, is right next door. Latvia, despite its size, is fighting attempts at being bullied and censored, even from across the border, since there are remaining a lot of Russian citizens from the former 50 years of Russification."
Obama's Pluto-Ascendant line is where things can get complicated quickly. One feels more intensely about geopolitical affairs where Pluto has influence, and relatively small rivalries can grow into lethal power plays. Pluto also offers the prospect of transformation, especially when projected fears are faced and dealt with honestly. But to see how Obama interfaces with Russia, the ACG maps aren't enough.
Relocating Obama's horoscope to Moscow greatly refines the ACG maps. Obama's chart in Moscow features 18º Virgo Rising, with his Mars (at 22º Virgo) conjunct the Ascendant. Obama's Mars here projects aggression, which he voiced in the campaign as his support for the expansion of NATO into the Ukraine and Georgia, and by not denouncing Bush's plan to deploy an anti-missile program in Poland and the Czech Republic.
Consequently, the day after the election, with transiting Saturn and

Obama's Vesta
NewsScope for November 10, 2008. One of the most important points in Obama's chart is his Vesta, the asteroid associated with security, focus, and the sacred. Obama's Vesta is conjunct the fourth house cusp and in the financially-oriented sign of Taurus. Mythologically, Vesta is associated with the hearth, and so in Obama's chart we can see his devotion to home and family. Vesta's aspect network reflects his early home conditions.
Vesta is closely square Uranus and trine Saturn, with all three at 25º degrees of their respective signs. This is the tightest,
most dynamic configuration in Obama's horoscope. Vesta's square to Uranus reflects his father's abrupt departure at an early age, while the trine to Saturn provided him with long-term family security. In the political sense, Vesta here gives a sense
of patriotism and strong family values, especially when rooted in financial security.
Since Vesta is Obama's most angular placement, this asteroid carries extra significance. Vesta in Taurus at the foundation of his chart gives Obama a sense of inner calm, in spite of all the crises implied by the square to Uranus. Over the weekend, transiting Mars in Scorpio opposed Obama's Vesta, as he sifted through the list of economic advisers and formulated an economic strategy.
Projected onto the global map via AstroCartoGraphy, Obama's Vesta is at the Midheaven in Kaliningrad, a Russian-controlled seaport between Lithuania and Poland. In the political realm, Vesta here has attracted an immediate, threatening response from Russia. Obama's Vesta-Midheaven line also goes right through the heart of the Republic of Congo, where international efforts are attempting to forestall genocidal warfare.
the campaign as giving and receiving sharp verbal attacks. When projecting this progressed Mercury-Mars conjunction onto the global map, it's on the Ascendant in Israel (but blocked by a square to Saturn).
Uranus opposing each other right on Obama's Moscow Ascendant, Russian President Medvedev announced he would deploy missiles in Kalingrad, which is on the border of Poland. Transiting Saturn and Uranus will hit Obama's relocated Ascendant-Mars throughout 2009, so we can anticipate more trouble. However, deal-making picks up by early 2010, when Obama's relocated Midheaven progresses into Leo and forms a harmonious trine to Juno, the partnership asteroid.
Obama's birth data remains the same, except the location is Moscow. Keep the time zone at AHST, but use Moscow's longitude and latitude
