Mercury in Leo and a 2000 House race lost to Rush

Barack Obama

The record has a loss in it: a 2000 run for Illinois's 1st congressional district that finished second to Bobby Rush.

It also has the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004, the US Senate from 2005 to 2008, and presidential wins in 2008 and 2012.

Saturn in Capricorn is the structure underneath on paper, and the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize sits beside that.

Barack Obama's chart has Mercury in Leo opposite Jupiter in Aquarius, which astrologers read as a speaker pulled between the room in front and the big picture.

  • Three planets in Leo. Sun, Mercury and Uranus pile into one sign. Asif Ali Zardari and Leonid Kuchma stack Leo the same way.
