Seven Planets and Two Stars: Barack Obama in Action

--> -->

The Sky chart on Sunday, March 22, showed an alignment of seven planets and two stars signalling Barack Obama in action. I am sketching how events are unfolding in nine countries including the United States.

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 Erdoğan, 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 “Shiatism”. 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.
