The Ghosts of Presidents Past

[Guest guest]

From the Youngastro list from Moses Siregar II:

Hi ya'll,

 

I just sent out a newsletter (I've posted it at

http://astrologyforthesoul.com/elec2.html )

 

with some interesting

tidbits on the election. I'll reproduce those here. Some creepy

Halloween connections:

 

 

 

I did find some incredibly interesting things recently that involve

the " ghosts " of Richard Nixon and Presidents past. I'll list them

here.

 

As you may already know, the last time Saturn precisely transited

the US Sun at the 14th degree of tropical Cancer, Nixon resigned due

to the Watergate scandal (Aug. 9th, 1974). Saturn returned to that

same degree over the last year as Bush has faced scandal after

scandal.

 

When Nixon was re-elected in 1972, he had just had his second Saturn

Return, but the strategies he employed to win connected him to the

Watergate scandal right away. George W. Bush is currently having his

second Saturn Return.

 

In 1880, Rutherford B. Hayes retired from the Presidency. Referred

to as " his fraudulency, " he won the Presidency after voter scandal

issues in the state of Florida in 1876. Check out this entry from

the online wikipedia encyclopedia:

Election of 1876

 

However, as with all elections, the decision was left to the U.S.

Electoral College, where the votes of four states were contested. In

order to win, the candidates had to muster 185 votes: Tilden was

short just one, with 184 votes, Hayes had 165, with 20 votes

representing four states were contested. To make matters worse,

three of these states (Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina) were

in the South, which was still under military occupation.

 

After months of deliberation and bargaining, Southern Democrats were

assured that if Hayes were elected, he would pull federal troops out

of the south and end Reconstruction. In return, the Democrats agreed

to a committee to determine the final outcome of the election. The

committee, which consisted of eight Republicans and seven Democrats,

voted to give all the disputed electoral votes to Hayes. The

Republicans justified this by claiming that the problem in these

states was over who had the right to vote. The Democrats, on the

other hand, felt that they had been robbed of the presidency, and

called Hayes " Rutherfraud. "

One amazing thing about the astrological timing is this. Hayes

retired in 1880. 120 years later, history repeated itself in the

form of Republican George W. Bush losing the popular vote, having

questionable electoral college results involving a scandal in

Florida, and ultimately winning the Presidency by a margin of one

vote amongst a very small group of elites. The Vimshottari dasa

system (THE major dasa system) in Vedic astrology takes exactly 120

years to repeat itself.

 

When Nixon was first elected in 1968, he was in his Saturn-Jupiter

dasa-bhukti. George Bush is currently in his Saturn-Jupiter dasa

bhukti. That only happens for an individual once every 120 years.

 

On the other hand,

 

When Nixon was relected in 1972, he was in the very early stages of

his Mercury dasa, and his Mercury is in the relatively limiting

nakshatra of Mula. John Kerry is in the very early stages of his

Mercury dasa, and his Mercury is in the relatively limiting

nakshatra of Mula.

 

My only real prediction remains this. Whoever wins the Presidency is

not going to have an easy time of things. And I am understating that.

 

I do also wonder if a voter fraud scandal in 2004 could lead to

Bush's resignation or impeachment (or just a plain old hard time) in

his potential second term. I think it is very possible.

 

 

 

 

 

Go Sox!!!

 

In Joy,

Moses
