Barack Obama’s grandmother Madelyn Dunham, the woman who raised him for most of his formative years, has died in Hawaii.  I wrote a couple of weeks ago about the transit of the South Node over Obama’s Sun as an event that was significant here, but another transit coinciding with this event is the exact conjunction of transiting Chiron to Obama’s progressed Moon ever since the beginning of October.  The Moon represents our emotions and the women in our lives, as well as those that nurture us and whom we nurture.
