America’s first black President declared, after his victory, that ‘Change has come’ and despite the challenges of a planet in peril and the worst financial crisis in a century, Leo, Barack Obama is optimistic and hopeful.

 

Barack Obama who was born on the 4th August 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii has the sun, Mercury and Uranus in Leo and Mars in Virgo. He will be methodical with an iron will. Barack has strong opinions and he will express these with energy, vigour and drama. Barack was born to be in the spotlight. He has the ability to reach out and grab the public’s attention and he will emboss and exaggerate if need be to get his point across. His Gemini Moon adds to the articulate and communicative demeanour he presents to the world.

 

Barack also has Venus in Cancer, this helps him come across as sensitive, caring, a good listener and emotionally perceptive. Along with the Moon in Gemini, these astrological influences suggest Barack will analyse, rationalise, and imagine what it feels like to be in someone else’s shoes. He is curious about everything but can get restless and impatient when things don’t move quickly enough for him.

 

Barack will instinctively understand what people want to hear from him and because of this, what he thinks and feels might sometimes be quite different to what he is saying.

 

There are many sides to his personality. With so much Leo in his chart, he radiates a special energy and magnetism that holds people’s attention. He has strong drive, leadership abilities and staying power. There is also the tendency to exaggerate, and overestimate; he may make promises he has every intention of keeping but is unable to. He is earnest in his determination to unite America.

 

There will always be a part of Barack; the public will never get to see. With Aquarius rising, he genuinely cares about the future of mankind. He is independent and freedom loving and there is every chance he has always felt a little ‘different’ or ‘special’. His recent victory will confirm that belief.

 

Barack’s personality is forceful, magnetic, and changeable. The mix of Leo and Aquarius makes him tough but compassionate. With Venus linking with Neptune and Neptune linking with Pluto in his chart, Barack has a very private vision on how things should be while a Mercury/Neptune link presents the challenges that are ahead; the steps that must now be taken to turn that vision into a reality.
