he coming US presidential election in 2012 and their wide discussions
have brought me here. Let me share the outcome of my research. My
research in contemporary political forecasting started in 2008 due to
presidential elections in USA. I paid attention to the fact that forecasts of
my colleagues are based on the synastry of the presidential candidate with
the chart of the country, Zodiacal Releasing, Pauline profections, Duodenary method of
progression, Dasha system of prognostics, and other techniques. It was the time when I
noticed some other patterns. Now I am ready to share my findings with all those interested
in the ancient celestial knowledge. The idea of publication is to test the approach and accu-
mulate statistics for the benefit of the astrological community.
The transit technique is one of the pillars of my approach. However, the key to a success-
ful forecast is the date of concerned transits. There are quite a few signifiers of the winner
in a political competition. In this article I am going to focus on two major steps critical for
political forecast.
1. Consider current transits of two planets: Sun and Jupiter. They have a direct
association with power and fame and their celestial interaction forms the date culminating
any presidential campaign – inauguration – a kind of enthroning ceremony. The day when
Sun and Jupiter make aspects of 0°, 60° and 120° presidents are inaugurated regardless of
the country. For example:
pects of transit Jupiter to their radix
Jupiter. V.Yanukovish had 0°, Y.Timo-
shenko had 60° and we see an obvious
proof of the power of conjunction over
sextile;
• France, 2012: F.Holland (12.08.1954)
and N.Sarcosy (28.01.1955) both had
similar indicators – transit SU and JU 60°
with their radix JU. Forecasting for such
cases requires additional techniques to
decide on the winner/looser and it can be
a separate discussion; USA, 2013: transit
SU and JU 120° with radix JU of Barack
Obama. Transit SU and JU 180°(!!) with
radix JU of Mitt Romney.
• Russia 2000: Vladimir Putin was inaugurated to presidency 07.05.2000 (SU 0° JU);
• Russia 2004: Vladimir Putin’s second term inauguration was held 07.05.2004 (SU 120° JU);

• Russia 2008: Dmitry Medvedev was inaugurated 07.05.2008 (SU 120° JU);
• USA 2009: Barack Obama was inaugurated 20.01.2009 (SU 0° JU);
• UKR 2010: Victor Yanukovich was inaugurated 25.02.2010 (SU 0° JU);
• Russia 2012: Vladimir Putin was inaugurated 07.05.2012 (SU 0° JU);
• France 2012: Francois Holland was inaugurated 15.05.2012 (SU 0° JU;
• US, 2012: Inauguration is scheduled for 20.01.2013 noon, the public event will be held
21.01.2013.
2. Compare the aspects that Sun and Jupiter make with the charts of presidential
candidates. Here I would like to underline that neither the place of birth, nor the accurate
time are critical, even the time of birth set at noon works with the suggested approach.
For example:
• RUS, 2000. V.Putin (07.10.1952) tr.SU &JU 0 JU radix;
• RUS, 2004. V.Putin (07.10.1952) tr.SU 0 JU radix, tr.JU 120JU radix;
• RUS, 2008. D.Medvedev (14.09.1965) tr.JU 120 SU radix, tr.SU 120 SU radix;
• RUS, 2012. V.Putin (07.10.1952) tr.SU &JU 0 JU radix;
• USA, 2009, Barack Obama (04.08.1961) transit SU and JU conjunct with his radix JU vs.
D. McCain (29.08.1936) transit SU and JU made no aspects to his radix. McCain lost
the elections;
• UKR 2010 Victor Yanukovich (09.07.1950) transit SU and JU conjunct with his radix JU.
His foe was Yulia Timoshenko (27.11.1960) and transit SU and JU 60° with her radix JU.
This is a case worthy additional comments. Both presidential candidates had benefic as-

In the US 2013 inauguration transit
Jupiter forms 120° to radix Jupiter of
Barack Obama. The same day the planets
have a negative aspect with radix Jupiter
of Mitt Romney, or in a softer scenario
with reduced orbits, there will be no aspects
between them, i.e. Mitt Romney has no
chances to win the coming election (as a
reconciliation he will have a rather posi-
tive period of life in November 2013).
Conclusion: The recent inauguration
cases support the suggested approach.
The examples show that the winner will be
the very presidential candidate whose radix
Jupiter has stronger positive aspects of
transit Jupiter and Sun. The stellar config-
urations seem to happen for candidates
who most probably stay in office for two
terms and/or leave a lasting legacy.
