I've been running off charts of the candidates - natal, progressed, transits, solar returns, as well as charts for election day, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, and the United States' chart (although there are several that astrologers cannot quite agree upon for the US, typical for independent astrologer types who all hear a different drummer).
After looking at the charts a few times certain things stand out. The degree of 27 stands out among many of these charts. I mean 27 degrees of any sign, too, not just a certain sign. So I'm looking at 27 degrees containing any planet or the Ascendant, Midheaven, or being on the cusp of any house in these charts. I am giving a very tight orb of influence at this point, only taking in 26 or 28 if not 27 exactly.
That degree seems prominent in many of these charts - it is highlighted, usually, twice, in any of the group of charts on an average. I personally have 2 planets in my own natal chart which would qualify for listing in this group.
When I look at Barack Obama's progressed chart for election day, there are 6 different planets in and around that 27th degree. I'm going to do more research and pondering on these charts, of course. But, this seems to indicate a big day, in some way, for him.
