SUBMITTED ON SEPTEMBER 13, 2012 T he coming US presidential election in 2012 and their wide discussions have brought me here. Let me share the outcome of my research. My research in contemporary political forecasting started in 2008 due to presidential elections in USA. I paid attention to the fact that forecasts of my colleagues are based on the synastry of the presidential candidate with the chart of the country, Zodiacal Releasing, Pauline profections, Duodenary method of progression, Dasha system of prognostics, and other techniques. It was the time when I noticed some other patterns. Now I am ready to share my findings with all those interested in the ancient celestial knowledge. The idea of publication is to test the approach and accu- mulate statistics for the benefit of the astrological community. The transit technique is one of the pillars of my approach. However, the key to a success- ful forecast is the date of concerned transits. There are quite a few signifiers of the winner in a political competition. In this article I am going to focus on two major steps critical for political forecast. 1. Consider current transits of two planets: Sun and Jupiter. They have a direct association with power and fame and their celestial interaction forms the date culminating any presidential campaign – inauguration – a kind of enthroning ceremony. The day when Sun and Jupiter make aspects of 0°, 60° and 120° presidents are inaugurated regardless of the country. For example: pects of transit Jupiter to their radix Jupiter. V.Yanukovish had 0°, Y.Timo- shenko had 60° and we see an obvious proof of the power of conjunction over sextile; • France, 2012: F.Holland (12.08.1954) and N.Sarcosy (28.01.1955) both had similar indicators – transit SU and JU 60° with their radix JU. Forecasting for such cases requires additional techniques to decide on the winner/looser and it can be a separate discussion; USA, 2013: transit SU and JU 120° with radix JU of Barack Obama. Transit SU and JU 180°(!!) with radix JU of Mitt Romney. • Russia 2000: Vladimir Putin was inaugurated to presidency 07.05.2000 (SU 0° JU); • Russia 2004: Vladimir Putin’s second term inauguration was held 07.05.2004 (SU 120° JU); 7 • Russia 2008: Dmitry Medvedev was inaugurated 07.05.2008 (SU 120° JU); • USA 2009: Barack Obama was inaugurated 20.01.2009 (SU 0° JU); • UKR 2010: Victor Yanukovich was inaugurated 25.02.2010 (SU 0° JU); • Russia 2012: Vladimir Putin was inaugurated 07.05.2012 (SU 0° JU); • France 2012: Francois Holland was inaugurated 15.05.2012 (SU 0° JU; • US, 2012: Inauguration is scheduled for 20.01.2013 noon, the public event will be held 21.01.2013. 2. Compare the aspects that Sun and Jupiter make with the charts of presidential candidates. Here I would like to underline that neither the place of birth, nor the accurate time are critical, even the time of birth set at noon works with the suggested approach. For example: • RUS, 2000. V.Putin (07.10.1952) tr.SU &JU 0 JU radix; • RUS, 2004. V.Putin (07.10.1952) tr.SU 0 JU radix, tr.JU 120JU radix; • RUS, 2008. D.Medvedev (14.09.1965) tr.JU 120 SU radix, tr.SU 120 SU radix; • RUS, 2012. V.Putin (07.10.1952) tr.SU &JU 0 JU radix; • USA, 2009, Barack Obama (04.08.1961) transit SU and JU conjunct with his radix JU vs. D. McCain (29.08.1936) transit SU and JU made no aspects to his radix. McCain lost the elections; • UKR 2010 Victor Yanukovich (09.07.1950) transit SU and JU conjunct with his radix JU. His foe was Yulia Timoshenko (27.11.1960) and transit SU and JU 60° with her radix JU. This is a case worthy additional comments. Both presidential candidates had benefic as- O P A  The Organization for Professional Astrology 16 In the US 2013 inauguration transit Jupiter forms 120° to radix Jupiter of Barack Obama. The same day the planets have a negative aspect with radix Jupiter of Mitt Romney, or in a softer scenario with reduced orbits, there will be no aspects between them, i.e. Mitt Romney has no chances to win the coming election (as a reconciliation he will have a rather posi- tive period of life in November 2013). Conclusion: The recent inauguration cases support the suggested approach. The examples show that the winner will be the very presidential candidate whose radix Jupiter has stronger positive aspects of transit Jupiter and Sun. The stellar config- urations seem to happen for candidates who most probably stay in office for two terms and/or leave a lasting legacy. astrologer Andrew A.Bukharin www.rasvetsiriusa.com [email protected] +7 909 997 2455 THE CAREER ASTROLOGER SPRING 2013
