Presidential Astro-trivia

Our first president belongs to the first sign of the zodiac- Emilio Aguinaldo who was an Aries.

The country is ruled longer by the combined terms of Virgo Presidents than any other sign. Presidents Osmena, Magsaysay & Marcos belong to the sign Virgo. This is due to their compatibility to the Virgo ascendant of the July 4 and Virgo Midheaven of the June 12 charts of the Philippines.

We had three Aries presidents, two of them had abbreviated terms. Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet associated with metallic objects that can cut. President Aguinaldo and Estrada’s term were cut short. President Macapagal-Arroyo escaped that fate.

Our sole Leo President worked hard for the Filipino’s right to self-rule. President Quezon while expressing his Leonine trait as self-sufficient also personified the country’s desire for self-governance.

We never had a Sagittarian Chief Executive, despite the sacrifices of some Sagittarians for the country. Instead of presidents, we have Sagittarian heroes like Andres Bonifacio and Benigno Aquino, Jr.

Our first and only Aquarian president, so far, brought back democracy in the country. Aquarius is the astrological sign of democracy.

Ironically to most observers but not to an astrologer – it was during Piscean President Ramos’ term that peace with rebels and separatists was actively pursued and achieved. Ramos was a soldier and Pisces is the sign of peace.

President Roxas, our Capricorn President was tasked to literally rebuild the country from the devastation of war. Capricorn is the sign of construction.

Two of our Scorpio presidents benefited from the death of their successors. Pres. Quirino assumed office after the death of Pres. Roxas. Vice President Carlos P. Garcia, automatically became the country’s President after the death of Pres. Magsaysay. Scorpio is the sign of death.
