There are a number of people, as reported by the Telegraph in England, are worried about assassination threats for the presidential candidates, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Now, in the case of Barack, he is in a major Jupiter period (1998-2014) and usually, Jupiter has a beneficial effect. However, his natal Jupiter is in 12th house of loss to the Ascendant, and it is debilitated in Capricorn.

Now, the next thing we want to examine is the "transit" of Jupiter. and it is now in Barack's 8th house from the Moon. The 8th house is the house of death and secret enemies. Now, in the case of Barack Obama, Jupiter is in his 8th house, fom his natal Moon. Both KKK and the Jihad have put out his assassination "hits".

Now, what explains his quick rise to fame? In astrology, we can look from three perspectives: the natal Sun, the Ascendant and the natal Moon. So from his natal sun, Jupiter is transiting his 6th postion, the house of service. From the Ascendant, Jupiter is travelling in his 3rd house, the house of talents. But the natal Moon, of all three, is the most predictive. In Barack's 12th divisional chart, both Saturn and Mars are aspecting his Sun.

Now, in the chart of Abraham Lincoln, the warnings of assassination are not visible in the natal chart, only in his 12th divisional chart. Now in Hillary's natal chart, both Mars and Saturn are aspecting her natal Sun, a warning for her. I have always been very hesitant to predict death, as it is very complicated. The question comes to mind, if these personalities weren't famous, what would happen?

Within each person's "life destiny" there are both the seeds for glory, as well as for infamy. In each individual's case, the only real protection against these tragedies is a true spiritual path. I believe there is one thing different in the case of Barack, and that is that he grew up as a "Muslim" and converted to a Christian, marking him clearly as an "apostate" in the eyes of the Muslim world. And, according to Mohammed's teachings, apostates are to be executed.

Of course, both Barack and Hillary are under the protection of the Secret Service. However, Benazair Bhutto was also surrounded by 10,000 agents protecting her. The question is "when?" Now, since Jupiter is in Barack's 8th house, I believe, it is still a dangerous time for him, and I encourage him to take shelter of the Holy Name.
