George W. Bush.

What drives him? Self interests together with secret plans and ambitions. 

All of his planets are pushed over into the Eastern Hemisphere, indicative of a man who is self seeking and determined to go his own way. 

His Sun lies in the 12th House, mainly afflicted, so it is fair to say that he is a highly secretive person who plays his cards close to his chest. He has a need to be part of a greater plan, perhaps seeing himself as a saviour of mankind, and although he is determined and hard working has a strategy which is basically flawed and probably unworkable, thanks to afflictions from Jupiter and Neptune. In short, what he sees in his mind's eye just isn't feasible. Also, the advice he is given is either not understood and acted on or is flawed. 

Even more critical is the positioning of Saturn in the 12th and the fact that it is unaspected and therefore unpredictable. Here is a man conditioned by family influences to accept duty and responsibility above all else. It must weigh heavily on his soul and restrict his life considerably. He is driven by a 'master plan' for the world and sees himself at the helm. But, as with most 12th House planets, confusion of aims together with over-idealised plans do not make for a successful strategy. There are serious flaws because he doesn't see the reality of his vision and fails to see or grasp the practicalities. Iraq is a prime example of ill thought out strategy powered by idealism. 

With the Sun empowering his natal Mars his determination to succeed has been strong, even one-pointed, but this is due to run out in June so we may see a change. Neptune - always a planet to cause scandal and deception - afflicts his natal Sun adding to much of what has already been said. He will be hard pressed to keep a lid on things and there could be further revelations to cause discomfort. 

What now? Uranus is set to put pressure on his natal Mercury indicating a stubborn refusal to see anything other than his own ideas - ideas that are seriously flawed. Attacks on his nature are likely to increase as a result, but this is unlikely to deter a man who sees himself making the world a better place - but for whom? 

At the same time, Uranus is also closing in on his natal Mars leading to erratic behaviour and a stubborn resistance to listen to reason. We have all seen how Bush can completely ignore the wishes of others, now is the time for more if this. Knee-jerk reactions and the use of force are likely to become the order of the day, some of which will backfire. He is likely to make powerful enemies. 

The periods from March to April and from July to August are dangerous times for Bush. Trouble is likely to strike quickly and without warning. Accidents are possible, so he should resist any urges to act impulsively. There is also the possibility of attempts to harm him. He would be well advised to strengthen his security.
