Following the astrological aphorism that "planets are people," we can track which of Obama's appointees correspond to which parts of his psyche. As Obama moves forward with "deliberate haste" to fill his cabinet, he's already made a few key selections.
Congressman Rahm Emanuel (November 29, 1959; Chicago, IL; time unknown) was born with his Sun at 6º Sagittarius, where it forms a perfect square to Obama's Seventh House Pluto. Emanuel's reputation as a tough-minded tactician with a combative political style corresponds to his Moon-Mars conjunction in Scorpio, which resonates strongly with Obama's Pluto. Few people have the courage and freedom to play out their intensely passionate Pluto, but Emanuel is the perfect actor to play out Obama's.
Robert Gibbs (March 29, 1971; Auburn AL; time unknown) will be Obama's press secretary. His Aries Sun squares Mars, which astrologically explains his nickname during the campaign as "the enforcer." His Sun is at 8º Aries, where it's most closely aligned with Obama's Neptune at 8º Scorpio, so that Gibbs helps shape Obama's political image. Gibbs has a triple conjunction in Taurus (Ceres-Moon-Saturn), which is conjunct Obama's Ceres in the third house of communications.
Warren Buffett** is on Obama's economic advisory team. Buffett's Sun at 6º Virgo is another strong connection to Obama's Pluto, and if his position is further elevated, we can be sure that major economic reforms are in the wind. Obama's choice for Treasury Secretary will be his most important appointee, and astrologers will be able to see the shape of his economic plan according to how the planets line up.
*Obama's birth data remain the same, except the location is Moscow. Keep the time zone at AHST, but use Moscow's longitude and latitude.
**As foreshadowed in NewsScope's September 8, 2008 column.
