Rahm Rumor

There's a rumor around that President Obama's Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel may be "on the way out". Internet or any other rumors are, more often than not, fabrications, but still, they provide food for thought and grist for t'mill. I rather wish the President would take Michael Moore up on his recent offer (see here) to take Mr. Emanuel's place!

I can find no time of birth for Rahm Emanuel but the 12 noon chart below will suffice to investigate possibilities of a move in the near future.




Transiting Pluto will be close to his natal Saturn towards the end of this year - from Fall onward. That could well indicate some kind of transformation in his professional life (represented by Saturn).
Interestingly, back in the summer of 2008, during the run-up to the General Election, transiting Saturn was close to his natal Pluto - so the upcoming transit is a reversal of sorts. Hmmm. Food for thought indeed!

We shall see!

WEll, i do also agree, it would be better Moore to replace the Rahm, but... hard this will be done!
Let us remember Rahm was architect of globalization...
Generally speaking, Obama promised even too much but up to nwow gave too few...
His problem is that he did not up to now respond to the need of Change that neverthless he did claim...
If change will not be responded in one direction, it is responded in another... Let us always keep in mind that the last time Uranus was in Aries there was Nazism...

It's certainly time someone went. Whether that person should be Emanuel is rather dependent on who Obama would choose as a replacement.

I guess this is what I most remember about him, T.
Emanuel was named to the Board of Directors for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") by then President Bill Clinton in 2000. His position earned him at least $320,000, including later stock sales.[31][32] He was not assigned to any of the board's working committees, and the Board met no more than six times per year.[32]

During his time on the board, Freddie Mac was plagued with scandals involving campaign contributions and accounting irregularities.[32][33] The Obama Administration rejected a request under the Freedom of Information Act to review Freddie Mac board minutes and correspondence during Emanuel's time as a director.[32]

"The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) later accused the board of having "failed in its duty to follow up on matters brought to its attention." Emanuel resigned from the board in 2001 when he ran for Congress.[34]

It all smells to high heaven, IMHO.

Nonymus (nice!) :-)
Yes, I'm with you....I can't yet decide whether Obama was sincere and did honestly intend to do what he could within the limits of the system, or whether he was being cynically political, telling us what we so wished to hear, knowing that it would be impossible to achieve because he'd already been "bought".....that being the only way to get a Democrat into office - not that Democrats seem much different from Republicans - more polite, kinder, perhaps that's about all.

Yes, Uranus in Aries is bound to bring change during the 7 years it'll be in the sign - how long it'll take before we can appreciate with hindsight what the change meant, or was comprised of, isn't clear though.

I often think we've already had - or are currently having the change - 9/11 was a trigger. some astrologers do say that the effects of a strong transit can be felt quite a time before it becomes anywhere near exact.

Let's at least think positive thoughts.

RJ Adams ~~~ Agreed!
some say that Valerie Jarrett is already doing most of the Chief of Staff's job. More rumor though.

Twilight said...

WWW ~~~ Pretty dodgy goings on all round, I guess ! It seems there's nobody at all in the halls of power on whom we can truly rely as having integrity these days.

Integrity. Where has it gone?

I can see some changes coming in that Administration soon, I must admit.

Shawn Carson said...

assuming that he was born around noon, as it seems so many high profile people are, then he is getting lots of aspects to his moon /mercury/ mars placements from transiting neptune, chiron and uranus. it looks like a combustible situation that could lead to a new residence, but somehow, he will likely land on his feet.

Twilight said...

anthonynorth ~~~ Well, round about now it's getting a wee bit stale, and a change of faces will give the pundits something to rattle on about, at least. ;-)

Twilight said...

Shawn Carson ~~~ Hmmmm - yes, those planets in last degrees of signs will all link up one way or another.

Oh yes! He'll definitely have something to fall back on - a deep, luxurious feather bed with lots of goodies around. Certainly won't need unemployment benefit.
