Apart from showing you another example of my interpretive system in action, this post has two experimental qualities:
1) Unlike the posts for Elvis and Janice Joplin, I'm going to cover more than just the Sun/Moon Combination. True, the post about Hitler covered more, but in a tentative way... So, even though I'm trying to go slow for now, to ease into how to use this unique system, Obama's chart just demands I cover more than Sun/Moon.
2) I'm also experimenting by using a living person who is in the forefront of much of the News and has an extremely active and thick aura of media-meaning engulfing his real character. Many astrologers will settle for the media-man and try to fit the chart to that electronic ghost... I choose to start with the man's chart and see him from the inside, out...
So, if you haven't been here before, I recommend you download (Free) my book or, at least, the short version of how to use the B.I.D.E. Interpretive System. You can follow along with my examples and, hopefully, come up with a few of your own interpretations; and, share those in the Comments!
Mr. Obama's chart (which will open in a separate window) shows an archetypical "Bucket" pattern (most planets within half the circle) yet has a uniqueness due to having two "handles" for the bucket (even though the two handles have more than 3 degrees between them, which the link I just gave you says is the limit; though, in Obama's case, one of the handle-planets is the ruler of the other's Sign, "pulling-in" the conjunction).
So, we'll look at Obama's Sun (of course), his Moon and Neptune (the "rim" or defining functions of the Bucket), and Saturn and Jupiter, the Handles or Focus of the whole chart.
I hope you have the basic materials of the system at hand as I use my intuition to select words and phrases to construct the five Symbolic Sentences that go very far in sketching-out the major soul-components of Mr. Obama's character.
His Central Life Purpose
Sun in Leo in the 9th House:
Vitalizing Creative Response in order to See the Broader Perspective.
~~~~~~~~~
The Defining Functions for His Primary Talents
Neptune in Scorpio in the 12th House:
Being Idealistic about an Analytical Attitude in order to Utilize the Resources of His Unconscious Mind.
Moon in Gemini in the 7th House:
Nurturing Conceptual Versatility in order to Initiate Sharing.
~~~~~~~~~
The Focal Release of His Talents
Saturn in Capricorn in the 3rd House:
Clarifying a Desire for Enduring Patterns in order to Make Connections.
closely linked with
Jupiter in Aquarius in the 3rd House:
Being Optimistic about Humanitarian Considerations in order to Be Aware of His Immediate Environment.
~~~~~~~~~
I can hear more than one person saying something like, "Whew! It's all so abstract!!".
My answer: Would you rather use a bunch of bits of concrete "indications", usually borrowed from others, to form an interpretation that limits and constrains your understanding of a living human being?
Certainly, as I've mentioned in past posts, these Symbolic Sentences, or Affirmations, are not intended to give quick and easy "answers"; they, just like the Symbols of the chart, need interpretation. And, here comes yet another experimental aspect of this post: I'm not going to show alternative Sentences for Obama (each Planet/Sign/House combination has 64 possible Sentences in the system...) and I'm not going to (in this particular post) start the process of giving more concrete shape to those Symbolic Sentences. I'm going to leave that up to you...
See you in the Comments.........

FUN POST and I actually think you captured the spirit of the soulful intentions of the man behind the media mask.
In the spirit of offering another perspective I added a few possible interpretations concerning his intentions for "health care";
Sun in Leo in 9th house -Focusing on Creative Response in order to Bring the Situation to its Highest Expression.
Neptune in Scorpio in the 12th house- Envisioning the urge to blend Perspectives in order to Begin a Relationship.
Moon in Gemini in the 7th house - Enfolding Diversity of Ideas in order to Initiate Sharing.
Saturn in Capricorn in the 3rd house - Defining Constructive Initiatives in order to Make Connections
Jupiter in Aquarius in the 3rd house - Expanding Group Consciousness in order to Make Connections.
I agree with you that human experience like life itself defies prefabricated boxes housing significance - the teachings of Buddhism say " fifty people, fifty realities " rather mind boggling realizing that not one of us on Earth experiences reality in quite the same way......
I leave the shaping to your readers.
Marvelous Interpretations, Lauren!!!
I love the way you took the System and applied it to the Health Care Issue...
The Buddhist quote is Superb!!!
You say, "I leave the shaping to your readers.", yet, you have begun shaping a Response...
Thank you...
