Research Studies: Tropical vs. Sidereal & Related

Gavin should add the references himself of course.
I better use my time with something better than figuring out the references of Gavin.

Definitely, I expect many new and astonishing cuneiform texts to come out.
The rest of the star catalogue. Or even several of them.

These days, I was in discussion with a friend of mine, an expert in Sumerian and Akkadian (plus a dozen more ancient languages).

We discussed the translation of the name NIN. gish.ZI(D).DA

My friend told me that
"the translation of NIN. gish.ZI(D).DA as 'divinity of the Good Tree' is the best if we follow the grammar. Jacobsen also translates it like that".

Perfect.
I could not argue with him on the grammar because my knowledge of these languages is far behind his.

However, there is one question in me that will surely put behind all grammar.
One question whose answer will surely solve the riddle and tore the curtain open:

Who stole (back) the plant of life from Gilgamesh?

Therese and Abd-Allah, it seems that now it is already too late to 'predict' who will challenge Obama!
There are 2-3 guys only to choose from!

Who knows the charts of all 6-7 challengers??
Abdallah you wanted 'predictions'. Here is an opportunity for you. Who will challenge Obama (astrologically guessed)?

Unless a big shakeup happens, it looks like Mitt Romney will be the Republican candidate. I believe we have a timed birth chart for him. It may be on the AstroDatabank site. (I have no interest in searching for birth data for the other Republican condenders.)

Here are 2 web sites with the data for all presidential candidates:

and polling site:

I already made a study and will post it soon on my web.

Rumen, I read your presidential analysis at the time you posted it, but due to a busy life and client work I was not able to reply until today. I will also post a link to your article on the western sidereal forum as astrologers on that forum use your fixed Babylonian zodiac and parans.

Of course your approach is interesting. Placidus produces very beautiful charts. My first thought was that all these men must have significant star alignments because in order to consider a bid for the presidency, each would already have reached a prominent political office in America and be easily recognized by the public. For example, Newt Gingrich (who had your highest point count) has been Republican speaker of the house, "king" of Capital Hill. Afterwards he served as a political commentator and a consultant, keeping before the public.

What then, determines who will win an election at a different point in time from the date of birth? One cannot use only the natal stars. How would you answer that question? Would you consider star alignments in the solar return for the year of the election? (I do not work with charts of unknown birth times so am not including Ron Paul.)

Sidereal Solar Return Charts:
-----------------------------------
Mitt Romney
March 12, 2012
2:01:53 a.m.
Detroit, MI (birthplace)

Barack Obama
August 4, 2012
9:04:40 p.m. AHST
Honolulu, HI (birthplace)

I have never been quite comfortable with Obama's chart. I believe if astrologers saw his chart knowing nothing about him, they would not have identified him as a person reaching the position of president of the United States. This is saying only that we still have much to learn about astrology. On the other hand Romney's natal chart does seem to show presidential potential. Considering only the 2012 solar return charts without including the stars, Romney's chart looks to be much stronger.

[Rumen_Kolev]

The procedure I employed was on purpose simple.
Does not claim sufficiency.
Of course is good to examine also directions, transits, solars and all...
But I believe that the first step, the basis is the radix.
No matter what directions a 'weak' chart has for a given time, it never can win presidential elections.
Equally strong radical charts of candidates should be examined on second and third level (directions et cetera).

About Obama, his chart is not so weak as it may appear.
Saturn and Jupiter (in phase) in the rising image of Capricorn and conjunct Altair is very strong.
Moon 5 degrees away of Aldebaran is strong.
And also the most strong of all doriphoria: Mercury in the same image as the Sun and in corner is extremely powerful.
(I think Obama's chart is diurnal, day-chart)

But it seems the republicans have stronger charts.
