Namaskar, 

Looking at the US independence chart and at the annual TP chart for 2008, I predict yet another close/controversial election. The annual TP chart has Virgo lagna. The 10^th house in Gemini represents the current administration, and its lord Mercury (also lagna lord) is in Taurus the 12^th there from. The 3^rd lord Mars, representing the opposition, is in the 12^th house in the annual chart. Mercury is in the 6^th house from natal lagna, indicating a problematic year. Ironically, Mercury and Mars are eternal enemies, but neither one of them is looking good so far; both of them receive a freezing glance from Saturn in the 12^th conjunct Mars. By November 4, both planets will be in the 2^nd house of the annual TP chart conjunct with a debilitated Sun in Libra. So what does this all mean; it means that the people find themselves looking at the current administration trying to look good in the end and wishing they were gone (Mercury in 12^th from 10^th house) and at the same time wishing for liberation through their choice for the opposition (Mars in the 12^th house). The debilitated Sun on Election Day indicates that the entire nation is tired of the problems this year has brought so far. Mars will move aggressively towards the 5^th house trying to assure a wining position, but Mercury is a faster moving planet. By inauguration day, Mercury, Sun, Rahu, and debilitated Jupiter will be restricted in Capricorn, but Mars will be very active in Sagittarius getting ready to be exalted sometime in late January when it moves to Capricorn. The people will celebrate.
