US Presidential Race has world Wide Business Implications
This article does not intend to predict the outcome of the US
presidential race. It is still too early to know who the
ultimate contenders will be. However, there are some interesting
observations to be made from the numbers. One of the challenges
in this type of comparison is the difficulty in obtaining the
accurate data needed to run full charts on the candidates. Very
seldom is the full name used, and then we cannot be sure that
the name shown was the true birth name. With better data we
could come closer to a reliable prediction.
First we must determine the energies that influence the upcoming
election.
This is a 6 universal year. The general trend in society is to
take a balanced view between the emotional and practical issues.
Compassion, along with a bit of showmanship, will sell this
year. The people will be drawn to good taste and tradition.
Moral issues will have prominence.
The United States (BD 7/4/1776) is in a 17/8 personal year. It
has a 4 birthday and a 16/7 life path. The core energies of the
United States are hard work, analysis, intuition and
spirituality. This is a year of exceptional world leadership.
Many of the rifts of the past year will be healed. A strong
leader is needed at this time.
With accurate birth dates, we know the personal year, birth day
energy and the life path for each of the candidates. This
limited view will allow us to position the candidates in respect
to the broader energies.
George Walker Bush (BD 7/6/1946, PY 1, LP 6) The 6 life path and
the 6 birth day match the universal year. He fits the mood of
the people. He is genuine in his compassion and family values.
The 1 personal year is a time for independent action. To be
successful, he must follow his own ideas no matter what advice
he is given. The energies are favorable for re-election.
John Forbes Kerry (BD 12/11/1943, PY 11/2, LP 22/4) The 22/4
life path is the number for a world leader. His strong master
numbers say that he is destined for greatness. His charismatic
personality can be turned on at will. This year he has to avoid
being drawn into petty spats. If he cannot rise above the
criticism he will be defeated by his tendency to take every
comment way too personally. Impatience and confrontation are his
nemeses now. His potential for this election is largely in his
hands. If he can stay the course, the energies are reasonably
favorable, but the timing seems a bit off. He would be a
stronger candidate in 2008.
Howard Dean (BD 11/17/1948, PY7, LP 5) He is fighting himself.
With a 5 life path he wants to be in the middle of the action,
but the 7 personal year is a time for observation, introspection
and analysis. He has little patience now for the incompetence of
the people around him, but that perceived incompetence is likely
a result of his own challenge in communicating his instructions.
His personal year is out of sync with the general trend. He will
have an almost insurmountable challenge to get back his front
runner position.
Dennis J. Kucinich (BD 10/8/1946, PY 6, LP 11/2) He may be the
surprise candidate of this election. His 6 personal year is the
same as the universal year. His 11/2 life path gives him an
unexpected charisma and vision. His 8 birthday adds the
necessary leadership qualities. He prefers to be a mediator, but
he can take a strong stand when necessary. Watch this race
closely.
Wesley Clark (BD 12/23/1944, PY 14/5, LP 8) With a 5 birthday in
a 5 personal year the energies surrounding him are scattered.
His 8 life path gives him strong leadership qualities, but he is
a take charge person with little consideration for underlings.
He may not have the stamina and steadiness now for a grueling
campaign. I would not be surprised to see him become bored with
the whole ordeal and drop out.
John Edwards (BD 6/10/1953, PY 13/4, LP 16/7) He has difficulty
getting traction. His 16/7 life path makes him somewhat of an
enigma. He shields his feelings and can be terse in his
communication. He may be the hardest working campaigner in the
chase, but much of his work goes unrecognized. He can be too
honest and blunt to gain the support that he needs to win. This
is a year of frustration for him.
Alfred C. Sharpton (BD 10/3/1954, PY 1, LP 5) His energies make
him a gadfly. He will have difficulty bringing together a strong
enough base to go very far in the process, but he can be very
entertaining with his own brand of politics. He can be
persuasive to his viewpoint, which is often heavy on the fringe
issues. With his 1 personal year and 5 life path he will make as
many enemies as friends. Enjoy the antics for as long as they
last. I do not see this campaign gaining steam.
Carol Moseley Braun (BD 8/16/1947, PY 1, LP 9) With a 9 life
path she has a grand vision that often is impractical. She is
very demanding of herself and of others. If it is not perfect,
she may consider the project a total failure. She has a heart of
gold. Those who know her can not help but like her for her
genuine concern for improving society. Her unwillingness to
compromise may be her downfall. Her energies now are as
favorable as they will be for her, but the country may not be
ready for her brand of altruism.
Joseph Lieberman (BD 2/24/1942, PY 14/5, LP 6) although his 6
life path suits him to the mood of the country, his 14/5
personal year works against him. Perhaps he did well to drop out
because he has too many distractions from the campaign. He has
so many opportunities being thrust at him that the presidential
race may have lost its luster.
Richard Gephardt (BD 1/31/1941, PY 11/2, LP 11/2) Although the
11 is a master energy, his doubts about his campaign would
trigger the lower 2 vibration, which would not have the heart
for the confrontations of the campaign. He has a gentleness in
his soul, which is offended by the attacks and counter-attacks.
His energies are quickly drained by the constant need to be on
guard. To have continued in the race could have resulted in
rather heavy health problems.
Based upon limited data as noted above, I see the Democratic
race heating up between Kerry and Kucinich. The other candidates
will probably drop out or lose ground. George W. Bush will be
unopposed for the Republican nomination.
Kucinich could well be the more formidable foe to Bush.
