And the next US president according to Vedic astrology is....

The people of the US are going to decide their next president and the world will know the results on Wednesday.

We shall use an ancient cosmic tool, astrology, and find out who will be the next president of the United States.

We shall explore astrologically why Barack Obama is going to win the hot seat of the American president. The birth details of John McCain and Barack Obama are as under respectively.

John S McCain

Date of birth - August 29, 1936; Time of birth - 0900 hrs

Place of birth - Cocosolo (Panama)

Barack Obama

Date of birth - August 4, 1961, Time of birth - 1306 hrs

Place of birth - Honolulu (Hawaii)

There are many sites that claim different times of birth for both the US President hopefuls. One site claims that John McCain was born at 18.25 instead of that mentioned above and Barack Obama was born at 19.24.

We have taken into account both the different times of birth of these gentlemen and our findings are as under:

John S. McCain

When we have two times for John McCain then automatically we end up making two different horoscopes for him.

According to one chart his ruling planet is Mercury and if we take the second one into account, then his ruling planet becomes Saturn.

As far as our calculation is concerned, it does not make much of a difference because when you work on the first chart ruled by Mercury then we find the position of Mercury in the chart is not that good which means this Mercury was good enough to make him the Republican hopeful right from the beginning.

The second chart, which is ruled by Saturn, also gives the same results. Both these planets are strong enough to give him popularity and support from his party. But when we compare the two charts of John McCain with Obama then the final outcome is not very supportive.

Barack Obama

According to first time of birth his ruling planet is Venus and if we take the second birth time into account, then his ruling planet is Saturn.

Both these planets are extremely strong in his chart. Saturn rules over the oppressed class and is capable of bringing a paradigm shift to the whole setup if it is supported by Venus.

Venus gives all the worldly power to the person if strongly placed in the chart. If in a chart Venus is combined with Saturn then it brings about radical changes in one's life and along with that comfort, happiness and authority is bestowed upon the person.

Comparison and results

In John McCain's chart, the combination of Mercury and Saturn is good but it is not good enough to beat the strong bond between Venus and Saturn.

Luckily Barack Obama has been blessed by these two powerful planets - Venus and Saturn, and when they are in tandem they do miracles.

Our finding is very clear that Barack Obama will win hands down.
