Bad weekend ahead for John McCain


Looking at the John McCain campaign chart (Apr 25 2007 12.21 p.m), the approaching Sun-Ketu conjunction will be right on the natal Saturn of this chart. This aspect will be exact on Sunday, but it should be considered to be in range from Saturday to Monday. This is likely indicative of a some kind of frustration and anger, possibly involving the optics of his campaign to the media. With Saturn in the first house, I wonder if his age, a frequent target of talk show jokes, is part of the story. Transiting Mars passes over his natal Venus at the same time, so that might suggest this would have something to do with women. I don't see this event has being hugely significant, but it may put him on the defensive after Obama has been back on his heels in the past week.

As you can see, this is a powerful chart, but not one without some significant problems. The Moon-Saturn conjunction in the first house says this is the chart of the Old Man. The exalted Sun and Mercury in the 10th house near the Midheaven is a very strong feature. And having 11th lord Venus in its own sign of Taurus is an outstanding indicator for gains and victory. And yet the Mars-Rahu-Uranus conjunction in the 8th house is cause for concern and speaks to the prospect of violence and sudden incidents that may disrupt this election campaign. More on that later.

Chris,
Will you be doing any pre-convention postings? Lots of Hillary stuff brewing. Is there any possibility you see of Hillary walking away with the nomination?

I'll post something on the DNC in the coming days. Sorry, but I don't see any chance for Hillary to win the nomination.
