Most astrologers in the know realized at the time of Barack Obama's inauguration that there were two major difficulties, apart from the flubbed statement with Chief Justice Roberts. Already conspiracy theorists were saying the his Presidency was therefore invalid. The difficulties were that the Moon was void-of-course, which means that it was in its last degree but before it changed into a new sign, Sagittarius. The second issue is that Mercury is retrograde, which implies working on past problems, which is correct but difficult to get right.

Tonight I received an email from a friend of mine and fellow director of NCGR, Linea Van Horn, who heard from her friend Elizabeth Barton to say that she heard on NPR that Obama took his Oath of Office once again, in order to avoid any possible repercussions from the flubbed oath yesterday.

I confirmed it at the Washington Times and they give an exact time,
Jan. 21 7:35 PM in DC. (http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jan/21/roberts-obama-re-do-swearing)

The new chart has 0 degrees of Virgo rising. Mercury is retrograde, of course, and combust (too to the Sun), and is not as well positioned as in the inauguration chart itself when it was
cazimi.

The Moon is 15 Sagittarius -- not Void of Course, but moving swiftly into a square with the
Saturn-Uranus opposition. At least her next aspect is to an exalted Venus.

This is fascinating and shows that the first inauguration was problemmatic and that the second one is the inauguration of record. More on this soon.
