Following the flubbing by the Chief Justice on the day of his inauguration, President Obama is advised to re-take his oath by senior legal advisers, and does so.
Apparently, some astrologers are in a tizzy about the new development.
Merc rx in Capricorn — caution is definitely kicking in. And Merc rx in Aquarius — what did I say about the unexpected? Ho ho ho.
Update, 24 January 2009: And the music was fake. What else?

So, what do you think? Most prominent Mercury retrograde fiasco/example ever? I can already see this being recalled in astrology books for decades to come.

Haha! I actually see it as a positive rather than a ‘fiasco’. Like everything else about Obama’s campaign up till now, he’ll keep every one guessing!

Totally.

Prior to 20 January 2009,there had been considerable concern expressed in various astrological quarters that Obama’s swearing-in would take place at noon on Inauguration Day – with the Moon void at the end of Scorpio – half an hour later, the Moon would have changed signs and be moving through the early degrees of Sagittarius, picking up a vibrant sextile to the Sun, Mercury(albeit retrograde) and Jupiter in Aquarius.
Looks like the Fates and /or the Cosmic Joker have had a hand in this Inauguration – re-taking the oath gives a different and much more positive lunar position.Do both horoscopes now apply for the Inauguration? Or what? Anne W http://www.anne-whitaker.com
