Obama's inauguration vow - take two

A reader of 'Mountain Astrologer' (issue no. 143, Feb/Mar 2009) wrote in to point out that the time scheduled for Obama's inauguration was under a void-of-course moon.  This is when the moon is not making any major aspects to other planets.  Events taken place under such a phenomenon are likely to require some kind of adjustment afterwards.  Sure enough, soon after the ceremony, Obama's inauguration vow was nulled due to a word being spoken out of sequence. Just to err on the side of caution, the oath was repeated the following day.  On top of that, we are still under a Mercury retrograde!
