Hi all,

First, I posted the wrong chart when bringing up Lincoln. I didn't intend to go super deep, but did want to show the correlations as I remembered it being quite fascinating many years ago when I learned about this. Lincoln's correct chart data is: Feb 12 1809 6:54 am, Hodgenville Kentuky.

The karmic signatures involving the nodes I want to point out are:

in the life of Lincoln he had Chiron in Aquarius in the 12th squaring the nodes. Thus, this Chiron skipped step was something he was working out in that lifetime. It would be meaningful for us to return to Lincoln's chart in a future class to discuss this skipped step.

In the life of Obama, his Chiron is in a new phase with his SN in Aquarius. Something to think about relative to the idea that we pick up from where we left off. The thing that is most important for our learning RIGHT NOW is to contemplate what that Chiron SN new phase conjunction symbolizes relative to his soul. What did Obama bring forward from the past? To me this suggests the wounds/ medicine making of carrying through a mission for a higher purpose that also elicits within his soul the vulnerability of inwardly feeling too weak/ incapable of seeing it through - but the need to overcome the doubt and do it anyway (all Chiron Pisces 1st). It's a new cycle of development relative to this Chiron.

No need to get lost in past life comparisons here, as that was never my original intent. Just wanted to share this in light of segment 4.2

I'll be posting/updating a schedule of our practice classes for the next phase of our learning soon as it is not all established in the workbook. I will make Lincoln one of them in a future week, and it will be helpful for us to get a sense of the life he lived. Our purpose will be to understand the meaning of his Chiron Aquarius in the 12th square the nodes, and what he did to work on its resolution.

Lastly, for those who are interested, and since I brought it up - here are some posts from the old message board archives where past life chart connections were discussed, including that of Lincoln and others contemporary to Lincoln.
