The lunar eclipse is a very troublesome one for President Obama. It seems his appeal and popularity are on a decline. His solar return chart is very dangerous. The year the lunar eclipse fell on my birthday in 2003 I lost both of my parents within the year of that lunar eclipse. In his Solar return chart which begins on his birthday August 4th, his Moon is in the 8th house with Rahu, and the Sun is in the 2nd house with Ketu. The 8th and 2nd house axis pertain to extreme change and usually deal with death. He will experience great losses within this year. He must take extreme caution for his own health and safety as well as his family’s health and safety.
