The years in power have been rounded off to the closest year, which might not be totally accurate, but close enough for us to see the strongest influences on voting for a president. I have noted “years in power”, only to the first number, because it is the president’s essential appeal which is imaged by the first number, that is most important. In terms of the presidents, going from most popular to least, we see: 2 (9 presidents, 47 years in power), 7 (8, 42), 9 (8, 41), 8 (6, 40), 3 (4, 19), 4 (4, 16), 5 (3, 16), 6 (2, 11), and 1 (2, 8). 2 is interesting to me, since over the past 30 years either directly or indirectly (second number), 9 has been ascendant, and a 2 Soil president hasn’t been elected since Lyndon Johnson in the 60’s. Since Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was born in a 2 Soil year (1.17.1954: [2.9.7]), perhaps he taps into this quality which appears to have been so prominent before that. To me showing the three lists is relevant, especially the second number, which I see as often having a strong bearing on a person’s choice of career, and in this case with the number of 10 presidents with 9 as this number, showing its strong influence. Again, Kennedy is prominent here. It is also interesting to me in how the way the message is delivered, one’s front, as influenced by the third number, 4 Tree figures so prominently. Does it have something to do with these presidents emphasizing their Christian faith, as I see Tree energy as having a close relationship with religion, and many politicians raise this quality in their talks? In Donald Trump’s case, he certainly is given a pass by the evangelicals, but another Tree quality which I think he emphasizes is roots, a tree has roots; “Make America Great Again” reflects the past; roots!
