In my previous articles Financial Crisis: It’s Not Over Until It’s Over and More on the Great Financial Disaster of 2010, I’ve predicted 2010 being an interesting year that would go down in history as the year when the world we have known since the industrial revolution finally bursts its tires. We are already seeing pigs fly (these “pigs”, of course, being Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain). Italian finances have also been questioned recently. I doubt that Germany, France and Great Britain can bail out the rest of Europe.
Don’t forget that Eastern European countries are likely to be the next pigs to fly.
What’s in it for us?
As European Union falls on its face and euro devalues to almost nothing, American exports would stall, American manufacturing would dwindle to its lowest yet, American corporations would run to hire the best and the cheapest labor force on the planet (that would be the European one), and we here are going to struggle with unemployment of such proportions that 10% would seem like a reasonable figure.
We are already seeing enormous inflation when it comes to basic staples of life (rent, food, transit and all kinds of insurance costs went up significantly in the past 2 years). At the same time we are seeing deflation of real estate, clothing, furniture, electronics and luxury goods. These trends are likely to continue.
I really feel for Obama Administration and sincerely pray for them every day. This administration inherited the crisises created by the previous administration. These crisises are as grave as they come.
On top of it, the people who created these problems are trying to undermine Obama at every turn – just because he is not a republican.
Bill Clinton had to endure the republican ire too, and for the same reason – he was not a republican. Remember the impeachment debacle? That was the time when I stopped watching my soap operas and turned to politics for entertainment.
What tickled me the most then was how easily Larry Flint succeeded in outing the sins of the stone throwers. Do you remember how many republicans had to resign because of their extra marital indiscretions?
The republicans did not succeed then either because Clintons bit back or because they realized that they may loose all their leaders to Flint’s private investigators.
They have succeeded though by manipulating elections of 2000. Not many know the true story behind Bush Jr.’s victory.
The story goes like this: Bush the elder brother (the governor of Florida at that time) managed to eliminate thousands of voters from the list under suspicion that they were felons. The great majority of suddenly eliminated voters (who had no idea they were eliminated) were not felons. They were simply democrats.
Then that Bush places a call to the anchor of Fox news in the middle of vote count and tells him that Bush Jr. won in Florida long before all the Floridian votes were in. That anchor calls the vote. Dan Rather, dismayed that someone else got the results before him, immediately follows the suit, and the rest of TV anchors follow him.
The rest is well known.
Bush Jr. ascends to the throne and immediately proceeds to damage his country.
His first blunder: NEGLIGENCE THAT BORDERS ON THE TREASON. He had the report about the imminent attack by Al Qaida and sat on it. Now I pass by the hole in the ground where the WTC once was almost every day and it’s still hurts.
His second blunder: destroying Iraq and millions of American families, whose loved ones went to serve his whims. Some people thought he did it for oil. But he was too stupid to see that far. I’m certain he did it to show his daddy that he could do better.
To me, that’s treason. But democrats, spineless without Clintons, thought better of impeaching him and suing him as a war criminal that he was.
In a sense, their meekness enabled him to put everything in place in order to destroy global economy. Actually, he did not do it. He did nothing, and allowed his fellow republicans to deregulate all they could and for their greed to take over.
America voted for him in 2004, because people were running scared of terrorism and wanted guys toting guns in the helm. They did not trust John Kerry, a decorated Vietnam war hero, to tote the gun at spooky Arabs, because they believed the “swift boat” ads and mistook his dignified silence for weakness.
Instead, they voted for a guy, whose family was tight with those Arabs, and who lied and bought out of the service to his country during that long bad war.
Perhaps, because next to him stood big dick Cheney known for shooting ducks and people.
So republicans under his banner went ahead and destroyed the world.
They could hardly believe that they lost to Obama (THE BLACK GUY?!). They worked so hard to take Hillary out, so their man would take on the reins. They could never imagine a black guy becoming a president, so they did not bother to “swift boat” him.
They were so sure of themselves, that they gave their man Sarah Palin as a running mate.
Of course, it could have been that they secretly hated McCain too – after all, he had some friends on the other side of the isle.
So these Egotistical Vicious Ignorant Liars republicans miscalculated and got Obama + democratic congress.
And the only thing they can do now is preventing Obama to do anything he tries.
Of course, they also try to “swift boat” him in the most underhanded manner.
This is what I’ve received recently as a comment to one of my posts:
I also appreciate your work Ella and I too thought Obama was a great man in a time of peril, however I just watched a documentary called “XXXXXX”-(my editing), which I highly recommend, and it opened my eyes to the facts. Obama is worse than Bush as he has reached celebrity status and capured the hearts of millions of people but is just another puppet committing treason. I am not trying to slander anyone and again would like to praise your work Ella but think that the people NEED to know the facts of what is happening to the Government.
I bet, many people received something like this in e-mail or as a “comment”. This must be Republican way of making their disinformation “viral”.
Just recently, they tried to put Obama’s citizenship in doubt. Now they keep telling us that the stimulus did not work (well, my business is better because it DID WORKED)
Next it is going to be a rumor that he eats little white children for breakfast.
Poor Obama: he needs to fix the dirtiest mess on the planet with his hands tied by republican obstructionism and with “swift boat” mud all over his face.
So I am praying for him to succeed nonetheless, because I live in this mess and I need him to get me out of it. Don’t you?
By the way, historically (at least for the last 100 years or so), the republican administrations have lead our nation into wars and huge deficits, while democratic ones have brought us peace, prosperity and reduction in deficits.

THE GREAT VARIABLE OF FREE WILL
Posted by Ella Moss on November 17, 2008
In August, as soon as I got Obama’s birth data, I looked up the charts of presidential candidates, and picked McCain as a clear winner. Was it a terrible misread, as one comment suggested? Maybe. After all, I am still learning Vedic astrology which I used to make this prediction. Shiva, on the other hand, correctly predicted the land-slide win for Obama.
If it was a misread on my part, I am only happy about it. Not only because I wholeheartedly voted for Obama myself, but also because I am entering my Sun / Jupiter dasa now. Born in 1961, like our president-elect and Princess Diana, I also have debilitated Jupiter in my Rasi.
In my navamsa chart, however, my Jupiter is relatively strong (just as in Obama and Diana’s charts) and conjunct my Sun to boot.
So, if Shiva was right, I should have an influx of so needed money soon (the Sun is my money planet in my Vedic chart).
Unfortunately, so far, I have misread my own Vedic chart. For years, I’ve been expecting to make my fortune during my Sun dasa, which began in 2007. Instead, almost as soon as it began, I have practically lost my business, and have been in the worst financial shape since my student years.
Like in Obama’s chart, my debilitated Jupiter makes great yogas (connections), and, by position, promises me greatness and riches. So, WHERE ARE THEY?!
Instead, every time, my Jupiter’s sub-dasa comes around, misery abounds.
Princess Di’s Vedic chart features the same unfortunate Jupiter, whose Mahadasa she entered soon after her marriage to Prince Charles.
Although we all know how unhappy her marriage was, her engagement and the wedding were her happiest times according to all biographies. Those occurred at the very end of her Rahu Mahadasa.
The misery of her marriage commenced with the beginning of her debilitated Jupiter’s mahadasa, and she died at the very end of that period, even though in Navamsa that Jupiter is relatively strong (as is mine and Obama’s).
According to Shiva’s logic, she should have married during her Jupiter mahadasa and enjoyed the ride that followed. According to my logic, all that have occurred during Princess Di’s life was timed astrologically in the most perfect way.
On the other hand, if my logic is so right, how come Obama won?
The answer may be in the most unpredictable variable: human free will.
Let’s start with Obama’s example:
From the very beginning, he was the favorite of Almighty Media – which annoyed me, since he was my least favorite of the candidates. I liked everything Hillary stood for, except for leaving Iraq – the country we’ve destroyed. My vote of conscience went with McCaine who promised to re-build it, even though I have been a devoted democrat since Clinton’s “impeachment” debacle. So I was “the undecided” for most of the campaign.
Meanwhile, I’ve began to encounter people (mostly, black) who staked so much hope on Obama’s candidacy that I began to wish for Obama’s win for their sake. It would have been too cruel to burst their bubble. I have never seen people to stake so much of their heart in any election.
I have also began to be aware that most of the outside world prayed for Obama’s win: African countries, Muslim countries – they all saw him as their own: the skin color, the Muslim ancestry and experience. Half of European hearts was beating for Obama as well, as he represented the liberal face of America as opposed to much-hated Bush.
Then the financial crisis came 2 month earlier then I expected, and I myself began to pray that Obama would win, as McCain’s economic stance began to scare me.
So, did Obama win because he should have astrologically, or because 70% of the world’s population prayed that he would? If you know the answer to that, tell me!
Here’s another example:
Long time ago, when I was a successful practicing astrologer, a young man called me and requested the reading. I knew nothing about him. As usual, I’ve prepared his Western chart (at the time the only astrology I was practicing was the Western astrology), and deduced that he was an upcoming basketball player with great future ahead of him.
When he rang the door bell, and I opened the door, I mentally patted myself on the back: he was tall (above 6’3” for sure), athletically built, and black (forgive me, but we all know that white men cannot jump).
However, as reading unfolded, I found out that he was a high-school drop out, drifting through life with no directions. No basketball scholarship, no NBA in sight.
Of course, giving his tender age (around 20, if I remember right), he could still catch up to the success, promised in his chart. But it would be more difficult, since he got off his best path already.
It could be that I have misread his chart as well. But given that I was on target in all other cases, I think it was his free will variable that was at play.
I must also touch on another example of the “misread/ free will variable” in my history as a practicing astrologer:
When O.J. was arrested after the slow chase on a highway (was it 1994?), I have predicted to my students that he would go free based on his chart. His chart features a juicy, all powerful Jupiter at the apex of his chart and “rise high, land softly” kite configuration. Moreover, that Jupiter was surfing into the 4th house, where, according to traditional Western astrology I am such a fan of, it promises great old age. So I based my predictions on that Jupiter.
I was right, but not entirely, since more than 10 years later O.J. was arrested again, on a completely different matter, and convicted to spend the rest of his days in prison. Was the traditional Western astrology wrong, did I misread it, or was it O.J.’s guilty consciousness, coupled with the American public’s deep desire for justice, that undid his great golden years promise?
On 1/23 my Sun/Jupiter dasa would commence. Some great Vedic pundits say, I will make a windfall, some predict great misery. The way the economy is heading, the latter could be right. But I stake my life on the great variable of FREE WILL, which includes prayer from the heart, as well as human effort.
Since 10/25/07, the day I’ve lost my major client that constituted 90% of my tiny business, I’ve been working days and nights on my own economic recovery. After all, I am a single mom with an 8 y.o. in tow, and homelessness, starvation – all that I have already been through when I came into this country at the threshold of my Ketu Mahadasa – is no longer an option. I stake my life on the Miracle of answered prayer, whether $ is in my chart or not.
But I am not planning to shelf astrology either. To me, it is a map of life. A map always comes handy in gauging the best direction to follow. But it is the free will that motors us and takes us places.
