It looks like American politics is getting interesting, with Republican Scott Brown taking the late Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat.
When I was looking up Scott Brown’s birthday, it occurred to me that he was a Virgo, and I don’t know why. Maybe it was because his campaign was so focused on opposition to Barack Obama’s health reforms.
That’s right, the sign Virgo has a strong association with health and fitness, and it’s also about details. The personality of Scott Brown somehow captured voters concerns about whether Obama’s plans were really workable.
It’s also worth noting that Ted Kennedy, Scott Brown’s predecessor, was a Pisces. The sign Pisces can be optimistic, and can have faith in human nature – and in the process can forget about practicalities. And Virgo and Pisces, in the wheel of the Zodiac, are 180 degrees apart.
What I find particularly interesting about Scott Brown’s horoscope is that he has got a lot of planets in Earth signs – the Earth signs being Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. Aside from his Sun in Virgo, he has Mercury, Venus and Pluto in this sign. He also has Saturn, and probably the Moon, in Capricorn.
This man appears to be very grounded, and is just the kind of person to bring the Obama dream down to earth – remembering that because of his election, the Democrats have lost their ’super majority’ in the Senate.
Furthermore, Scott Brown’s Saturn is strong. It’s in Capricorn, the sign of its rulership, making a favourable aspect to Venus. It’s also in mutual reception by exaltation to Mars in Libra. Sorry about the jargon, but trust me, it’s powerful.
Saturn is the planet of responsibility and restriction, and this provides further evidence that part of Scott Brown’s destiny is to thwart Obama’s plans.
Yet I don’t want to exaggerate Scott Brown’s personal importance. He’s just a reminder that Obama’s presidency is a complete mistake. As I’ve said time and time again, Obama got into the White House four years too early, and by starting his term of office in the run-up to the Jupiter-Saturn opposition in 2010 and 2011 he’s almost certainly prevented himself from being anything but a poor to mediocre president, at least as far as his first term is concerned.
The second term? I’m digressing here, but in 2012 Obama experiences a big change, that overall could be very positive. However it’s the kind of change that often leads to a change of career, and I’m beginning to think that he’ll regard one term as being enough.
