LBJ and Joe Biden

People keep referring back to the time that Lyndon Baines Johnson stated that he would not run for a second term as President in 1968. He came to this decision on his own, but he was responding to external pressures of the office. Joe Biden’s version was due to being pressured by his own party.

It’s informative to look at their ‘event’ charts together. There is an interactive Yod focused on Johnson’s broadcast Ascendant of 0° Scorpio. Biden’s event has Mars @ 0° Gemini and Neptune @ 29° Pisces 50′. This is as close to perfect timing as is possible in astrology. The inconjunct aspects speak for themselves. Biden’s Saturn is conjunct Johnson’s Mercury/Venus conjunction in Pisces. Biden’s Mercury is conjunct Johnson’s Jupiter in Leo. Biden’s North Node is conjunct Johnson’s Sun. This is the Democrats needing to atone for the past. They chose Hubert H. Humphrey for their presidential candidate and that allowed Richard M. Nixon to gain the White House that November.

Let’s hope it turns out better this time around.
