Obama, His Horoscope and the World

A widely respected Indian astrologer living in Mumbai predicts that Barack Obama will be better for peace and prosperity in the world than American Presidents of the past four decades.

He will succeed in bringing some useful solutions to the deluge of problems he faces around the world in addition to restoring a lot of America’s dented prestige among foreigners.

Astrologer Bejan Daruwala says Obama’s main astrological trait is that he is capable of saving people from their own worst weaknesses. He has a natural talent for public service with common sense, neutrality and pragmatism. He has charisma and extraordinary communication abilities that persuade people to trust him and accept his vision and leadership.

These birth traits were evident in Obama’s rise to power and victories so far, which were based on persuasion and creating trust. In a telephone interview, Daruwala predicts that these qualities will extend to the world’s people, including America’s enemies. They will grow to trust Obama because being even-handed is a part of his innate nature. That will bring big gains to the US and to Americans.

Obama is a Leo born on August 4. He is the 44th President and will be inaugurated on January 20. Therefore, his basic numbers are 2 (from January 20), 4 (from his birthday) and 8 (from 4+4 of the 44th President). His date of birth and the numbers signify leadership, happiness and success.

The weak point currently in Obama’s horoscope is that he attracts the anger of people who feel jealous, neglected or left out of his vision. That anger may cause violence against his person. For this reason, his personal security should be of the best quality. He should also be careful to be as inclusive as possible when he develops and enunciates policies and decisions.

Daruwala is very well known in India and has scored the highest number of book sales on astrology in Asia. He is a Parsi whose ancestors came to India when Islam took over Persia, now called Iran. Their Zoroastrian religion was perhaps the world’s oldest.

Interestingly, Daruwala who lived in the US for seven years in the past is a master of ancient Hindu astrology. He usually prefixes his predictions with the words “Ganesha says…” which is a reference to the Hindu elephant god of good living and removal of obstacles.

    interesting angle. I know little to nothing about astrology (what I know compared to those who have studied in depth, would fit in a thimble) other than the mythos behind the 12 archetypes that come from my studies in anthro... but I'd be interested to know where "the squares" (sort of equiv to 'bad moon on the right' from the song) are in any chart, suggesting the blind spots.

    Astrology or no, the naivetes and undeveloped aspects of a person, the hubrises, (dont know how to spell that in plural) are what block the gifts...and also draw critics and sometimes violent critics. The naive use of gifts, making promises that cannot be kept... are the draws/bait for those who work in darker thought.

    Thanks Brij for a delightful article, esp the part about the astrologer who says, "Ganesh says..." The giant east Indian God in form of Indian Elephant, in reality, long domesticated to do incredibly heavy lifting, not always trewated well, often in chains ... revered by HIndus for centuries: Remover of Obstacles, beginning with his own, indeed.

    Think quick. What's wrong with this phrase: "A widely respected ... astrologer ..." ?

    No court jester is around, but all of your "subjects" are nonetheless waiting to be entertained. Your throne is a seat that is complete with ample blind date uncensored cushioning and a cup holder. Two hours later, the lights are gradually turned back on and the sound of chatting gradually fills the room.
