Celestial bodies constantly move from one position to another, each time signalling what action is cosmically good for the world. The President of the United States is the number one citizen of this earth. And the responsibility is primarily cast on him. On Sunday March 22, the sky had a significant alignment not seen for the last 100 years or so. Seven planets and two bright stars were almost on a straight line. It heralds great opportunity for the United States in particular and the World in general. Let me briefly touch on this alignment of seven planets and two stars in this blog post and the related cosmics of how Barack Obama should face up to the events unfolding in nine countries including the United States.

The Alignment

From the vantage point of the holy city of Jerusalem, I looked at the Eastern sky at 6.00 a.m. on Sunday March 22, 2009. I traced the Moon first. From there when I drew a line towards east I can extend my view up to the Sun. In between these two luminaries I sketched Star Dorsum, Jupiter, Neptune, Mars, Star Hydor, Mercury and Uranus. So I see seven planets and two magnificent stars. Incidentally, the planet Neptune is close to the Star Deneb Algedi where it was found by Astronomer Galle working under the direction of Astronomer Le Verrier at the Berlin Observatory on September 23, 1846. For the benefit of my readers I like to sketch details of the Stars Dorsum and Hydor.

Dorsum

Astronomically known as theta Capricorni, Dorsum is a double star located in the back of the sea-goat Capricorn. The Latin word dorsum means “ the back”. Belonging to the class of A 1 V, it is a main sequence dwarf star giving a brilliant white hue. It is 156 light years away and has visual magnitude of 4.1. Rotating almost 72 miles per second, it is a fast action star sitting on the elliptical path. This star coming between the Moon and the Sun in considered as heralding good times.

Hydor

Astronomically known as lambda Aquari , Hydor is a variable star located at the bend of the steam of water pouring out of the Jar the water carrier Aquarius holds. The Latin name Hydor means “ water”. It is also known as Ekkhysis from Greek Meaning “ outpouring”. Belonging to the class of M 2 III , it is a red giant giving bright red hue. It is 390 light years away and has visual magnitude of 3.7. Rotating away from earth one mile per second it is a slow moving star sitting on the elliptical path. This star is surrounded by about 100 small stars. In Hindu mythology, the star symbolizes the god Varuna, who has several roles to play: the god of ocean and water; the deity of the Moon; the guardian of Western direction; the god who can revive the dead; Varuna is also classified as Ashura and Deva in mythology. The surrounding stars are 100 Adityas , celestial bodies of goddess Adithi and Kasyapas known for their skills as physicals. This star coming between the Moon and the Sun in considered as heralding good times.

Now let me give you how this relates to the cosmics of nine selected countries and how Barack Obama should face up to these countries.

Cosmics of Nine Selected Countries

1. United States: From Globo Cop to Globo Console

The USA is changing its role getting out of the idea of using force to start consulting and consolidating. This remarkable change is good omen for the global economy and politics. Exit route in Iraq and Afghanistan is shown; recession is on the waning side. New and dependent relationship with Asia is forecast with China replacing Japan as the main partner. It is time to reflect on nuke issue with Iran and North Korea pragmatically. Once again confidence is brimming. Barack Obama is fixing many leaks at one and the same time, he should continue to do so as directed by the star Hydor.

2. Russia : Wild Bear to Terrific Tiger

Czar Putin would continue to rattle Europe, to vent anger on USA; he brings Russian winter to incalcitrant Europe by withdrawing gas in right time; but he can be a good partner too provided Barack Obama plays up to him all his Judo tackles. Russia’s unique position in traversing Europe and Asia should be explored. Russia on rise and bringing the terrific country into world’s financial and trading system in orderly manner is key priority for USA and would be done. Russia as partner and not as enemy is the likely proposition for Barack Obama.

3. China: Yellow Peril to Yellow Dawn

Both Napoleon Bonaparte and Nikita Khrushchev got it right; Napoleon said “ Do not wake China the sleeping Giant” Khrushchev went further and said “ China is yellow peril”. China is becoming both military and economic power but weak in politics. The expression “Yellow Dawn” is not mine. One of my colleagues Angel Garrett uses it as her Yahoo ID. But it is very apt for China as a rising giant with lot of yellow hue. Earlier European generals feared the Russian army in their backyard; now the world would be careful that the Chinese armed forces are not around . Barack Obama has to repeat the mantra of “Open Sesame” and get Chinese money flow into U S bonds and investments once again.

4. India: Nowhere to go Except to the Moon

Unlike China, India is reeling; her foreign policy is in shambles; neighbours have no good word for her; balancing priorities and policies have gone haywire. Facing an Election that would bring a hung parliament, India is in the bad books of every country. Nobody fears the Greek bringing gifts now; but they hate when Indians are invading their job markets. With abundant cheap labour especially in IT industry India is a head-ache for Barack Obama. With China he can come into terms be it Yuan appreciation or continuous buying of US Government bonds or WTO safeguards. What he can do with Indian cheap labour inside USA? It has touched raw nerve centres. Hence, Barack Obama talks with China seriously but just say hello to India. So Indians would better go to the Moon.

5. Indonesia: From Democracy to Demo Crazy

The fourth populous country and a brimming democracy, Indonesia has arrived in the global scene. Barack Obama was wise to send the Secretary of State on her first official mission underlining the importance of Indonesia. Japan has been always wise in giving the largest aid to this country; Australia got messed up; first it is East Timor and then interfering in domestic affairs. China plays balanced game knowing too well the strategies in the Malaccan Strait. Incumbent President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, popularly known as SBY is seeking re-election. He is dismissed by the electorate as America’s pet. Barack Obama got it over the plate; he must move carefully in an orchestrated manner to ensure Susilo re-elected , lest the Russians would be there. Barack Obama knows the country and its potential from his childhood days. And for all that there were low key demos by the Indonesians against Ms Clinton.

6. Japan : Flogging the Dead Horse

You look at the faces of Japan’s leaders; haggard old and laggard. So is the country. Japanese are fast losing the stamina and their dollars. Any entanglement with North Korea is devastating. Let China handle the case. Japanese are well advised to play second flute to USA, Russia or China in that order. Economic woes and political instability continue to harangue. Japan shall build more bridges with Asean countries and emerging tigers such as Brazil. It already has sizeable Brazilians inside Japan. Another turn is to go for Turkey & Germany together with Indonesia. Barack Obama has Japan on his side; Like the God Varuna and his 100 companions he has to cure the ills of two counties USA Japan at one and the same time.

7. Germany : Buried with the Bundesbank

Nobody underestimates the power and potency of this Aryan nation. Rising nationalism, this time non-Nazi will push the country to go out of the Euro loop. Germany was too preoccupied with the European integration and defending the Euro, the ruling currency of a motley group. Other than Gerhard Schroeder, the most successful socialist Prime Minister all others are rightists. Their apparent mistake is to ignore the Turkish population living inside the county and friendly Brazil, where the majority of the Nazis fled at the end of world War Two. Barack Obama should prod the Germans to continue this policy so that Bundesbank would be deeply buried in Europe.

8. Turkey : East or West, Turkey is Best

Nobody visualizes NATO without Turkey; that is where Turkey is heading to. Slowly and gradually the Turkish army has to give up directing both domestic and foreign policy. Recep Tayyip Erdo?an, the prime minister of Turkey is not only a nationalist but a pragmatist too. How long he can wait to join the EU? How long Northern Cyprus could be isolated? Russia and China would be glad to get Turkey in Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), which groups Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan (Turkic Ethnic Group) with Russia and China. Iran is an observer country already. The loss of Turkey would be colossal. Barack Obama is scheduled to visit Turkey in April. He has to bypass both NATO and EU and sign with Turkey a “Special Relationship”, modelled on the unwritten agreement between USA & UK existing now. More than Europe America just cannot lose Turkey.

9. Iran : The Empire Strikes Back

Persia was an empire and Iran is an empire. Like Germany this Aryan nation made telling mistakes. One is to change its name to Iran. Winston Churchill famously said “ I do not know which is what Iran or Iraq”. Ever since she became Iran the country is smouldering in fire. To add to this is the incendiary branch of Islam known as “Shiaism”. But Iran is a great country with pride and tradition. It also has immense resources including educated and cultured manpower. Hospitality is something the Iranians are proud of. They are not hostile to foreigners least to the Americans. Barack Obama has made a tactful start with the message for Iranian people on the Iranian New Year, Nowruz; the time is excellent but the context was rattling. Ayatollah Ali Khameni was prompt in accepting the timing and dismissing the context. No threat can work with the Empire. Parodying Winston Churchill “ Which is fearsome: Iranian Nukes or the Army of Iranian women garbed in the Black Chador? Incoming Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu is pitched on the former, of course, with disastrous consequences; but Barack Obama has to concentrate on the latter. It is time to Americanize the country. He should not repeat the mantra “ unclenching the fist” but “ disrobing the chador”. A westernised Persia is a safety valve for America. Barack Obama has to move in that direction faster.

President Barack Obama signed the U S Dollar 787 Billion Economic Stimulus Package into law with the official title “the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act” on Tuesday February 17, 2009 in Denver Colorado. He called this law “the most sweeping economic recovery package in our history.” The legislation will save or create 3.5 million jobs. There has been intense debate about the Package in the television and newspapers before it became a law. Will it succeed? What happens if it fails to deliver? Where is the B plan if the package fails? These questions kept propping up in the discussion. You saw eminent economists, financial experts expressing their doubts about this plan.

What do the Cosmos says? Nobody asked this question. What is magical about the number 787 in this package? As Barack Obama signed the Plan into law something happened in the sky. That is, Mars Conjuncts Jupiter at that moment. At 9.30 a.m. UTC/GMT on Tuesday February 17, these two celestial bodies came so close for the pleasure of all viewers on earth. In this blog post, let me give you a brief note on the Mars – Jupiter Conjunction, mystical feature of Denver Colorado, the Number 787 and Cosmics regarding the success of this plan.

Positional Astronomy

1. The conjunction took place in between two stars Upsilon Capricorni and Eta Capricorni both in the Capricornus constellation. This constellation is historically depicted as a Sea –Goat. On the celestial sphere the conjunction took place at Right Ascension (RA) 20.82 hours. At this point Jupiter is at Declination 18.04 south and Mars at Declination 18.56 south. To put it another way Mars is 33 minute below or south of Jupiter.

2. Mars entered the Capricornus constellation on February 3, whereas Jupiter is already there from January 4. After this conjunction, Mars would leave the constellation on March 11, while Jupiter continues its stay till early February 2010.

3. The previous Mars – Jupiter conjunction took place on December 2006; the next is due May 2011

4. Simultaneously, the Moon, which is on 22.5 days old, has just entered the Sagittarius constellation whose occult ownership is ascribed to Jupiter. Moreover, on this date the Moon is in the 19^th Arabic Manzil (Lunar Mansion) of Al-Shaula, a fortunate and auspicious time to make new beginning or planting new trees. It also symbolizes pumping of air.

Capricornus Constellation

This conjunction took place in the mane of the sea-goat Capricorn. Originated from Babylonia the sea- goat personifies” EA” or “ENKI”, the God who educates and rewards; god of intelligence and intuition. EA often appears on earth pre-warning calamities and educating how to save from these. In one instance EA has taught people to make an ark during a deluge. God Ea can be compared with God Osiris in Egyptian mythology – a do-gooder and educator. You can read about Capricornus constellation in my blog post “Jupiter- Sun Conjunction in January 2009”.

Denver, Colorado

The Colorado state is located south west from the central point (meridian) of United States. South-west is the cosmic direction for Barack Obama.

The Number 787

This number springs the picture of Boeing 787 Dreamliner, a passenger aircraft of novel design and master craftsmanship, made from brittle carbon compounds rather than flexible aluminium. It is the most fuel-efficient passenger plane. Though many were sounding about the safety of the design, it became the most successful project in Boeing’s history. So far 895 planes are in the order book. Now the stimulus package comes with the same figure of 787 Billion U S Dollars. What this number signify? It stands for the Arabic prayer “Bismillah –ir – Rahman- ir- Raheem”, which means “I begin In the name of God, the Beneficent, and the Merciful”. So anything done invoking the name of God receives the blessing of the Lord.

Cosmics

This stimulus package will succeed’; there in not an iota of doubt about that. The following are in support of my cosmic conclusion:

1. The signing of the Law coincides with Mars- Jupiter conjunction, where Mars represent energy and enthusiasm while Jupiter represents willingness and capacity

2. Mars and Jupiter put together, you get the energy and willingness to give a big try, make it succeed, assert power, ready for action , implement plans, do everything possible to alter the event. Succinctly, you can reverse the financial recession

3. But Mars and Jupiter together mean lot of hard work, you are not going to get it over the plate; you have to find ways and means of doing your actions. You have to start low and go up gradually.

4. Mars and Jupiter together is creative power; there are jobs to be saved or created; the ambitious plan need to be put in action with this as a major goal

5. The conjunction taking place in Capricornus constellation indicates that there is intervention by God through Barack Obama, modern day God Enki. It is great victory for a man who is in office less than a month. It is also a great victory for the world, because this will lead many nations to unveil their stimulus plan and already some of these are operational

6. The Moon in the Arabic Manzil (Lunar Mansion) of Al-Shaula is indeed very rewarding; it heralds the time for a new beginning; besides this the time you have to pump air. A good coincidence, because the economy needs lot of air to be pumped into. Besides, Moon in Sagittarius, just –in-time is another plus point.

7. Denver, Colorado in the south-western region fits rightly in the Obama administration, because for Barack Obama, this direction to start his Big Bang in his career as President is very auspicious.

8. The mystical feature of number 787 showers more grace than anything else. The U S Dollar 787 Billion may be a small and inadequate figure for the current financial hole. But the number is precise, the setting is excellent, the action is sincere, and the result will be marvellous.

August 4, 1961

Barack Obama is born under a bright and luminous star known technically as Gamma Tauri but commonly known as Prima Hyadum (Hyadum1). The Greek name Prima Hyadum means the first of the rain-giver. The appearance of the star is considered as a welcome relief from the scorching Sun. A yellow coloured star of 3.9 magnitude, Prima Hyadum is chief among the group of six stars called Hyades and located on the forehead of the Bull, in the Taurus Constellation. From this strategic position, the other stars branch off over the V shape head of the Taurus. Arab astronomers also called Prima Hyadum as Awwal-al Debaran (the first of the followers).

Mythologically, Hyades are seven daughters of Atlas and Aethra and half sisters of Pleiades. Classical authors such as Homer and Pliny have mentioned the star in their works so did cultures such as Babylonian, Chinese and Indian. It is said that Samson used the weapons of Hyades to defeat the Philistines.

Astronomically, the star group consists of 6 stars and not 7 stars as mentioned in the mythology. Prima Hyadum is approximately 600 million years old, 150 light years away from the earth, about 2.6 times the size of the Sun and 65 times luminous than the Sun. Though the star is said to vary in its luminosity the variation is insignificant. It is very rich in iron and oxygen and has a huge magnetic belt surrounding it. The star emits X-rays. It is prominently seen in the month of November in the Eastern sky. You can locate the star by looking at Right Ascension (RA) 4 hour and 30/100 minutes and Declination(Dec) 15 degrees 80/100 minutes.

Cosmically, Prima Hyadum is a great benefactor. Often it appears after a period of instability to effect stability on the earth. The name Prima Hyadum itself suggests that it is a welcome rain sign after a period of chaos and dryness.

Barack Obama who comes under the influence of this star shall have the following qualities:

1) A Change Agent

2) A peerless commander-in-Chief

3) Be victorious over competitors and enemies

4) A person who brings glad tidings and welcome relief

5) A stabilizer in the Six realms: Politics, Economics, Military, Society, Technology & Wellness

6) A Hard worker

7) Leads followers and people to Greatness

Shows fairness to friends and enemies alike

9) Combines diplomacy with bravery

November 4, 2008

On Election Day, the north-western sky shows an interesting triangle formed by the Moon which is 6 days old with Jupiter and three stars known as Chi (X) Sagittari. These stars are individually known as X1, X2, and X3 respectively. Though these stars vary in the magnitude from 5.02 for X1, 7.26 for X2 and 5.45 for X3 these are very auspicious. You can locate the three stars at RA 19 hours 43/100 minutes and Dec minus 24 degree 25/100 minutes approximately. Furthermore, these stars are located on the fluttering shawl of the Archer Sagittarius.

These three stars signify the enhancement of the 3 – dimensional Superpower status of the United States in Political, Economical and Military realms. On 4^th November 2008 the President elected would be the person who will turn-around the United States from the present abyss

The Message

Therefore, that the message from the heavens is read clearly as follows:

1. What the heavens want and what the people on earth want are synthesized in the form of Barack Obama being elected as the 44^th President of the United States

2. Barack Obama will win the Presidential Election convincingly

3. More women would vote for him across the political divide

4. The percentage of Republicans voting for him will be more than the percentage of Democrats voting for his opponent.
