"The Moment That Defines History..." The Inauguration of Barack H. Obama
I have never seen or heard anything like this inauguration in my life. I have never been so proud of my country. I have never been so hopeful nor so excited. This page is dedicated to the First Lady of our country, Michelle Obama, who looked like a queen today with her gold dress and green shoes. Can you imagine; green shoes? I'm so impressed with her fashion sense, her beauty, and her grace.
When I first did this page, I was a bit taken back by the void of course Moon. However, it is conjunct Toliman (Bungula), the fixed star. Here's what is said about this fixed star:
Alpha Centaurus, Toliman, is listed under Bungula in Robson's book Fixed Stars and Constellations in Astrology, and also in Ebertin's Fixed Stars and Their Interpretation.
According to Ptolemy it is of the nature of Venus and Jupiter; and, to Alvidas, of Mars with the Moon and Uranus in Scorpio. Bungula gives beneficence, friends, refinement and a position of honor. [Robson*, p.148.]
With Moon: Popular, many friends, diplomatic, secret bad habits, excessive drinking, involved in disputes but emerges successfully. [Robson*, p.149.]
There are other definitions, but I'll accept these and support that they are positive and give good advice.
The advice given to 30 degrees of Scorpio from Chandra Dhi Manthri:
You are a prisoner, sawing diligently at the bars of your cell windows, while failing to observe that behind you the door of your escape stands open. When you find yourself under limiting circumstances, you will often be your own jailer, seeking egress through violent control of your weaknesses rather than through cultivation of your talents and higher abilities. Your alliances remain long with you, so enter not lightly into matrimony, partnership, or business agreement. You have capacity to be of prime service to the public, to women, and to those in legal or other difficulty; but sacrifices of your comforts are required in that service. If you should hesitate to share your comforts with those worthy, your selfishness causes you further pain. Art, music, and poetry assist your understanding.
The advice given to 30 degrees of Scorpio from the Sabian Symbols:
CHILDREN IN HALLOWEEN COSTUMES INDULGE IN VARIOUS PRANKS.
Keynote: The periodic outlets society furnishes within traditional limits to still-immature energies.
....This is the last symbol referring to Scene Sixteen of the great ritual of cyclic being. It tells us that in any feeling experience of collective living and inter-human relationships one has to deal with regenerated and centrifugal elements. They should be carefully managed. They can also be controlled by the power of mind; the Sagittarian way. The symbol points to an imaginative RELIEF FROM TENSION.
Since I still believe that Obama was born between 2 and 4 pm in the afternoon and has Sagittarius rising, this last Sabian Symbol has a lot of meaning for me. The Moon entered Sagittarius at 12:30 pm EST before the inauguration was over.
This is a great day and I am so blessed to be here to see it. My prayer for the day is from Psalm 19. " This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!" Let us rejoice and be glad in all the people who gave service yesterday. Let us rejoice and be glad in the United States of America. Let us rejoice and be glad in this planet. Let us rejoice and be glad in love, service, sacrifice, and peace with one another. Let us rejoice and be glad in our new leader, Barack Obama; I'm proud to say, I've been for him since before he decided to run. See: BARACK
