The election is less than 2 weeks away, and unless something changes Barrack Obama is destined to be the next President of the United States. I say unless something changes, because of the uncertain and erratic times we are in. Saturn and Uranus are approaching their opposition the day before the election, the first of 5 over the next 18 months, and this will bring about revolutionary change and upheaval in the United States and the world. The United States of America is about to take a look at the values we hold dear and the values our government has espoused in years of late, and the people are going to decide that it is time for our values to change, especially as they relate to finance and money, and what we hold to be true and dear will be re-defined over the next few years as Pluto enters into Capricorn.
 
Mars squares Neptune
 
Venus squares Saturn on November 2 and 3rd, indicating money issues, a nervous stock market, and possibly issues with female voters. On election day the moon is in Capricorn (10th house of priorities, the President) switching to Aquarius later (freedom, the collective voice.) Mercury is in it's final degree of Libra, and at 20 degrees of Sagittarius, Venus sextiles Neptune, representing America and the World's love affair with the first African American man who is destined to become President, and an idolized view of what we hope and wish for in a President and our future. But Mars squares Neptune as well, this may cloud certain issues on this important day.  Mars squaring Neptune represents confusion of the issues, lies and deception, and lack of clarity. It represents doubt, discouragement and, and at times it brings up issues from the past that the individual (in this case the collective) had hoped would go away.  The transit means 'deceitful actions." Beyond a shadow of a doubt there will be mudslinging, and lies meant to sway voters.  It may involve pictures/and or the news media, and religious themes, again, meant to mislead. In an earlier blog, I predicted we would hear more about the group Acorn, and voter fraud.  This is not over yet, and it is also possible that we will see problems at some of the polls and more voter fraud.
 
America was born with a Mars squaring Neptune in the natal chart.  At it's best this is an idealistic vision, representing a strong ethical stance, but at the same time there can be confusion over the actual effects of it's actions, leaving it inadvertently open to corruption from those who would mislead in the name of ideology/and or religion. Whoever wins the Presidency, inherits an empire with this duality, and as a result must have the vision and the wisdom to see beyond what the issues appear to be, with a clear vision of what the future can be.
