Astroyogi had predicted that Obama would be the next American president. That prediction came true today. Obama defeated his competitor, McCain with a huge margin. The planetary position of Jupiter at this time was in Obama's favour. More than 300 electoral votes were in his favour. Obama is a welcome change from the stifling neo-conservatism of the Bush administration. Almost 82% of the Indian population was in support of an Obama win. His impressive qualities evident throughout the presidential race made him the clear favourite of the people.;

According to his stars Barack Obama is an intelligent man with a good grasp of complex political issues. He has made many promises to the American population including lower tax rates, new jobs and better health care facilities. The world at large sees him as the best President America could have at the moment. His birth chart shows a strong ascendant with both Jupiter and Saturn in Capricorn. This strong ascendant ensures that he has the potential to deal with the enormous financial crisis in America. He is also likely to change the image of America in international politics. When it comes to India he has expressed his views about the nuclear deal in a positive manner. But it remains to be seen if the nuclear deal will finally go through. Astrologically, with Obama as the President the financial situation is likely to improve both in America and India as the Moon favours him. The Indian youth especially in the IT industry who were a little uneasy about his anti outsourcing stance and job cuts are still rooting for him. The Moon in the earth sign Taurus makes him the perfect candidate to bring in world peace, political stability and financial strength. The world is celebrating this historic moment and expects good changes ahead.
