The Midheaven is the point in the sky directly above at the time of birth of a person or an entity.  It is a crucial point that is not looked at too much in contemporary astrology, but is viewed as an important horoscope component in advanced astrology (i.e. Uranian astrology or TransNeptunian astrology).  The Midheaven is known to define the reputation of the individual or entity, as well as what the individual's "legacy" will be, or what they will be remembered for.  Uranian Astrologer Gary Christen called the Midheaven "the seat of the soul," and I think this reflects the definition of "reputation" very well.

The Midheaven of Barack Obama

     The planet and star closest to the Midheaven will have the greatest impact on defining the reputation of the individual.  In the case of Barack Obama, Barack Obama was born with the star of Toliman (29 degrees Scorpio) and the planet Neptune (at 8 degrees Scorpio 36 minutes) closest to the Midheaven (at 28 degrees Scorpio 53 minutes), as seen in his horoscope below:

       The star of Toliman is a lucky star, noted for high position, occult and philosophical learning, honours, stormy or spoiled relationships with women, many friends, need for freedom, and a tendency to be stubborn and cruel.

     Neptune is well known as the planet of deception, and I like astrologer Robert Hand's definition of Neptune as being a vibration of the Hindu Goddess Maya, the Hindu goddess of deception.  But Neptune can represent spiritual service and artwork, as well as psychic ability and clairvoyant sensitivity.  

     Note that Jimi Hendrix was born with Neptune very close to his Midheaven, and he took his artwork to a whole different level that was regarded by many as being spiritual, especially the material he was working on the year before his death. But Jimi was subject to major deception before and during his stardom, and much of this deception was committed against him by others in the music business, especially his high profile management (in which Hendrix discovered they were paying him $8000 for booked shows and were caught charging promoters $50,000 for these same shows; his contract called for 75% of receipts).  

      Hence, the issue of Neptunian deception may be something that Barack Obama may be unfortunately remembered for.  This is evident as many supporters recalled "running to him and embracing him" after George W. Bush's unpopular presidency ended, and these same people are now claiming he really isn't much different than George W. Bush. This is especially evident in terms of use of U.S. military powers internationally and protecting the illegal activities of Wall Street. Talk about being deceived!

Transiting Saturn Conjunct Obama's Midheaven: 12-13-2014

      Saturn rules restrictions limitations, and intrusions of authorities. Saturn crossing the Midheaven and entering the 10th house is an intense time that usually defines a review of one's reputation and standing before others.  The general rule in astrology is that if one was committing many questionable acts of legality or immorality while authority-minded Saturn transited the 9th house (which rules philosophy and legal definitions), one may expect some sort of backlash or scandal to manifest as Saturn crosses the Midheaven and transits the 10th house.  

       Richard Nixon became a victim of much scandal and damage to his reputation with his call for the Watergate Hotel break-in right before Saturn crossed over his Midheaven.  Nixon was reportedly committing much in terms of illegal activity (with his illegal wiretapping of important conversations and his allowing of the F.B.I.'s illegal actions against Vietnam War protesters) during the time frame of Saturn transiting his 9th house.

       A similar unfortunate fate may be building up for Barack Obama, regardless of how much incriminating evidence he may have (or illegal NSA wiretaps obtained) against people who are currently questioning his possible illegal actions and calling him out for such actions.  It is possible that his career and/or his reputation may take a serious blow in 2015, or come under some sort of "review" for questionable actions he committed from 2011 to 2014, the time of Saturn's transit though his 9th house.

     Transiting Neptune is conjuncting Obama's Chiron in the first house, and Chiron has a lot to do with advanced technology.  This may be a national broadcast with disappointing results, technology failures, deceptive intel from Obama's spies, or a public relations disaster via internet users or television viewers.  A real serious drop in ratings is also possible for him with this transit, unless he does something to improve what may be the start of a much trying and negative year in 2015. 

       I expect the next year to be one where Barack Obama will have to work very hard to protect his reputation and good name, as he may have to face a similar "fall from grace" period as Richard Nixon had to deal with.  I'm not into calling out bad luck on anyone, but Barack Obama's 9th house transit of Saturn appears to have demonstrated (much like Nixon) he may have abused his power capacity in controversial areas, especially the areas where he angered people for use of executive privilege without consent of other government branches or agencies. This was evident with the executive orders he issued that favored certain United Nations directives, as opposed to discussing such directives with the Legislation branch that the Constitution calls for when U.S. statutes, actions, and regulations are about to be implemented.

Advanced Astrology: Obama's Midheaven And Midpoint Tree Equal To Midheaven (And Transiting Saturn)

Interpretation of Midpoint Breakdown:

"The reputation of the individual will begin to face challenges and the individual may progressively have limitations of freedom or limitations of power placed on one and on one's career.  There may be occasional and sudden displays of anger or rage with the gradual arrival of such intrusions, and any past lessons one learned from questionable sources regarding illegal forms of government or criminal forms of government may come under review by outsiders as one has limitations imposed on one's freedom and power capabilities.  Any association with secret organizations involved in the use of advanced technology may also have certain limitations imposed in terms of one's involvement with such organizations (or the use of such organizations within the context of one's career), as well as involvement of such organizations in areas that are deemed to be vital to one's career."  

The Midheaven of Vladimir Putin

       Vladimir Putin has Pluto very close to his Midheaven, and this is associated with defining one as an important agent of change.  Pluto can be defined in one of two ways: the researcher and beneficial transformer at best, or the gangster and agent of corruption at worst.

            In terms of stars, Putin has the star of Tania Australis ("The Right Paw of The Great Bear") conjunct the Midheaven. Vivien Robson defines this star as a star "unfortunate for nations and kings" but also noted that the reason for this is because the Great Bear is mainly "martial in nature" (and Putin is a chess master!) 

       Richard Nixon was also born with Pluto close to his Midheaven, and was regarded as a keen and very able diplomat prior to his election as U.S. president.  But Nixon would unfortunately be seduced by the dark gangster side of Pluto after being elected President, and it would come back to haunt him as Saturn entered his 10th house.  

       Putin may have been involved with gangsters and agents of corruption in earlier years, but currently he appears to be transforming and redefining himself as the role of researcher and beneficial transformer with his role in creating the BRICS banking system. His popularity with his voting population and with many important power brokers is evident of this transformation, regardless of his past activities.  And yes, he is being openly threatened, possibly due to this proposed banking change known as BRICS, as this will challenge the Bretton-Woods agreement that defined the Federal Reserve's U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency (after WWII).

       Jupiter Going Stationary And Conjunct Putin's Midheaven (within one and one-half degrees): 12-09-2014

       Jupiter rules expansion, luck, freedom, world-view, philosophy, legal definitions, and (at times) financial resources.  The fact that Jupiter is very close to the midpoint of Pluto/Midheaven ("the evolution and transformation of the soul" and "the ability to transform and develop that has an effect on one's reputation") may define this as a significant and successful time for Putin.

       Transiting Mars is in the 3rd house and in a sharp square with Putin's Ascendant (at 3 degrees Scorpio 10 minutes).  This could indicate a major debate or argument of some kind taking place, or the need to debate or argue.  Transiting Venus conjunct natal Mars in the 2nd house could indicate Putin may be sexually involved with someone special or simply be happy with the company of people and friends at this time, so again, this may be a good time for him.

 Advanced Astrology And Stationary Jupiter With Putin's Midpoints:

       Uranian astrologer Hans Niggemann defined Jupiter/Kronos (the midpoint that the pointer above is pointing to) as "the successful money manager" and "the successful manager." Again, this could be a fortunate time for Putin in December of 2014, as well as going into January of 2015.

The Horoscope of the United States

       There are MANY different horoscopes of the United States.  I worked with some with reported good reputations, and some that were quite ludicrous.  The U.S.A. horoscope I like the best is the American Federation of Astrologers chart, as displayed below:

The Final Square of Uranus And Pluto And It's Direct Hit On The Natal Sun Position Of The United States Horoscope: 12-24-2014 (OUCH!)

       December 24th, 2014 will feature the final square between transiting Uranus and Pluto in equality with the natal position of the United States Sun position. But December 24th may also be a day that will live in infamy in lieu of a possible executive action from U.S. President Obama.  This order may implement (via the United Nations) an initiative that calls for certain firearm restrictions in the U.S. to take place.  This action also comes at a time when Great Britain is calling for the outlawing of butcher knives due to high rates of crime (since outlawing firearms in Great Britain didn't work out as planned).  ARE OUTLAWING HAMMERS AND FISTS NEXT? Hammers and fists killed more people in the U.S. in 2012 than guns did, so don't laugh.

Click http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/05/21/FBI-More-People-Killed-With-Fists-And-Hammers-Than-With-Rifles-And-Shotguns for proof of this.

Here is the December 24th U.N. act "in a nutshell:"

And here is what Mao Tse-tung (murderer of 40 - 60 million unarmed Chinese citizens) had to say about firearms:

“Political power grows out of the barrel of the gun...”
― Mao Tse-tung

       Uranus is strongly related to firearms, and Pluto (as mentioned) can be defined as either "the research specialist" or "the gangster." And with these two planets forming a square, it is possible that a conflict (square) may occur over the role of firearms (Uranus) and "the gangsters" (Pluto) that want to take firearms away from law-abiding citizens.  Note that the F.B.I. proved that areas with the least crime in the U.S. were non-metropolitan areas where law-abiding citizens were allowed to own guns.

       The problem is that the United Nations (whose agendas are pushed in the name of the interests of the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, ISRAEL, and shareholders of the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England) do not like the idea of law-abiding citizens owning guns because of the past memory of the U.S. Great Depression (with some debt-free U.S. citizens having issues with banks grabbing their property and belongings).  Bank robbers like Bonnie & Clyde and John Dillingher became folk heroes in this era for robbing banks (especially the ones viewed by the public as stealing funds from a financially-strapped public), much to the anger of the U.S. banking community at that time.

       The most important midpoint combination relative to the U.S. Sun natal position is the midpoint branch of Venus/Cupido ("peaceful relations with others") and Mercury/Aries ("the media or news"). With the sharp square of Uranus and Pluto transiting over the U.S. Sun (and also the Venus/Cupido and Mercury Aries midpoint combinations described), it is possible to expect some angry people to come forward after Christmas in event this U.N. gun-grabbing act is passed.

The Horoscope Of Russia

       The chart I like to use for Russia is the day and time that the old Soviet Union flag came down and the Belavezh Accords "Russian Federation" flag (which is the white, blue, and red striped flag) went up. The horoscope below is this event, and no, I don't view the issues in Ukraine as qualification to define the chart "null and void."

Jupiter Stationary Position And Russia's Horoscope: 12-06-2014

       Transiting Jupiter goes stationary at half a degree away of a perfect hit to the Ascendant of Russia's horoscope.  Note that  this stationary position of Jupiter also forms a square to the natal conjunction of Venus and Pluto in the 4th house.  I suspect this to represent good luck with secretive functions at home, especially financially related or related to areas involving secret government work:

       The transiting square between Uranus and Pluto is applying to Russia's Uranus placement, but it is weak.  I suspect that this may represent tension on a nuclear weapon threat basis (since the Uranus definition of weapons can include nuclear types as well).

       Here's the advanced astrology midpoint breakdown of the Jupiter stationary position on Russia's chart:

Interpretation:

"Good luck or something expansive may manifest that involves a philosophy or a creation or that is viewed as reflective of justice or something proper in some way.  Outside barriers may be erected as a result, and disruptions from others not so favorable in the environment may also be present as well, such as "enemies" or "adversaries."

       This sounds a lot like the BRICS banking agreement, but it can represent something else, such as a diplomatic agreement or trade agreement.  I really suspect some sort of important international agreement is possible with this placement involving Russia.

          Now let's look at the Jupiter station with the U.S. horoscope:

       Zeus/Admetos (the midpoint pointed to above) is defined as "a tragedy," "a difficult beginning," and "specialized creativity or creativity put on hold."  With Jupiter, this placement combination can represent either good luck with preventing the bad aspects listed, or legal involvement based on the bad aspects listed.  It's a hard call.

       Thank you for reading.  Remember to work for and be active with peace and harmony this Christmas, as we have one last planetary review of the sharp square between Uranus and Pluto.  Let's hope Christmas doesn't turn out too bad, as it will be tense with the Uranus - Pluto square taking shape at that time.

       Please put this tense square energy to good use this holiday season, and work for and protest for peace and justice. And please do so peacefully, regardless of your political or religious philosophy.

Love to all,

Malcolm
