The Intertwined Karma of Barack Obama and Abraham Lincoln

At this point, in the US, only someone who's been hiding under a rock has missed out on hearing all about the inevitable comparisons between Barack Obama and Abraham Lincoln.

Granted... it's a crazy, irrational proposal... but as I sit here glued to my HDTV watching MSNBC as Barack Obama becomes the 44th US President on the eve of Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday... I have to wonder... is it possible... just possible that Barack Obama is the reincarnation of Abraham Lincoln?

Granted... in my time as an astrologer I have only had the opportunity to compare the charts of two other people where I strongly believed that there was strong external evidence pointing to one being the reincarnation of the other... but as I sit here comparing the charts of Barack Obama and Abraham Lincoln (bi-wheel) there are definitely some striking similarities with that former comparison.

Whether or not Barack is Abe's literal reincarnation, the two men certainly share certain significant karmic soul bonds and connections. Based on their astrological charts... if Barack isn't Abe's literal reincarnation, then the two of them have shared in several lifetimes with one another.

Since, I just synchronistically saw a member of crowd holding up pictures of Lincoln and Obama... I think I'll close and enjoy the rest of the ceremony...

Just out of curiosity... having over the years heard many comparisons between Abraham Lincoln and John F Kennedy and then more recently numerous comparisons between Barack Obama and John F Kennedy... I decided to take a quick peek at the charts of all three men.

My conclusion was that I didn't get the same sense of significant shared karma between Abraham Lincoln and John F Kennedy or between Barack Obama and John F Kennedy that I got when comparing the charts of Barack Obama and Abraham Lincoln.
