Al Gore nominated for Nobel Peace Prize
I make no apology if this blog sometimes seems like "The Al Gore Show" - he deserves all the accolades and honours anyone can give him, humble bloggers included.
Is Pluto starting to have an effect? As I said in my blog post on 17 January:
"Perhaps I'm being optimistic and simplistic, but consider this -Al Gore's natal Jupiter is at 28 Sagittarius. Transiting Pluto will join it there between February and May this year and again in December, also from August to October '08, just before the election. It will still be within a degree of exact conjunction at the '08 election date. Transiting Jupiter will join transiting Pluto at Gore's natal Jupiter in mid-December 07 too. Quite a lot going on!"
LOOK!
Norwegian lawmakers have nominated Al Gore for the Nobel Peace Prize .
"A prerequisite for winning the Nobel Peace Prize is making a difference, and Al Gore has made a difference," Conservative Member of Parliament Boerge Brende, a former minister of environment and then of trade, told The Associated Press.
Brende said he joined political opponent Heidi Soerensen, of the Socialist Left Party, to nominate Gore as well as Canadian Inuit activist Sheila Watt-Cloutier before the nomination deadline expired Thursday.
"Al Gore, like no other, has put climate change on the agenda. Gore uses his position to get politicians to understand, while Sheila (Watt-Cloutier) works from the ground up," Brende said.
During eight years as Bill Clinton's vice president, Gore pushed for climate measures, including for the Kyoto Treaty, and after leaving office in 2001 has campaigned worldwide, especially with his Oscar-nominated documentary on climate change called "An Inconvenient Truth.""

Also, his Moon then his Sun will catch the Uranus-Pluto square of 2010 onwards, so he will be well part of the zeitgeist, whatever he's doing. And a Presidential chart does tend to catch the zeitgeist.
Thanks AstroT-T !
That's encouraging.
I enjoyed your article today - I've now linked to it at the end of this post.
