I was looking at the chart of the 2010 election but I wonder just how much weight it should be given.  For example if you are going to look at the Moon as an indicator of the mood of the people it is not going to tell you anything about people like me who mailed in our ballots 10 days prior.

That led me to try to find out what percentage of people mail in their ballots and I know it is growing and think it’s high. I was unable to find a national statistic but in this area a whopping 67% mail in their ballots.

The opposition in astrology is the one most intriguing to me. A year ago I was reading about how Uranus was going to trounce all over Saturn and rolling my eyes.  The planets were in opposition and the old man was supposed to get his ass kicked I guess. It made no sense to me outside of the fact people have their bias and their blind spots.

This is the 3rd of 5 exact oppositions of Saturn and Uranus.  The first was on November 4, 2008 coinciding with the US presidential election. While the country is more polarized than ever I can note some progress in the fact that people seem aware now that the opposition is not going away.

By that I mean that at the first pass one side won the election and that was supposed to be the end of that. This has proved not to be the case so as far off as resolution may seem, we have made progress in that both sides can now see one another.

Your thoughts?

I’ve started writing about Saturn’s transit through Libra (tag), so far focusing on general affects in the collective. Saturn is exalted in Libra and while this goes a long way it is not going to spare Librans from shouldering a burden with Saturn in their sign and I am starting to get some ideas how this might manifest.

I’m sure I am not the only one who is curious.

Tie in the astrology if you can…

Aries - Frankly, the process of the US elections is one of systematic discrimination against the Aries people and one which endorses flagrant suppression of the average Rams vote. We mean seriously, everyone knows that Aries Rams are astro-genetically incapable of waiting in any line which is projected to exceed more than 3 to 5 minutes wait time. Therefore, very few of Arians are ever able to cast even a single vote in any national US election, and especially not in this one! Three, four, five hours, what the fuck, who are we trying to kid here?! Therefore and clearly, our 12 percent of the US population voice is systematically suppressed and silenced every time there is a national vote which might have waiting lines associated with it. A new system should be put into place whereby, if there must be lines, all Aries voters will automatically be placed at the front of the line so that we can, and will, be in our own rightful place, namely, first.

The soldier and I have both filled out our ballots and will drop them off this week. As anyone who remotely follows astrology (blogs) knows, Saturn and Uranus will be in exact opposition on Election day, Neptune having turned direct the day before. Add all that up and anything is possible.

Personally, I can’t wait to be rid of these ballots. People in my circle do not discuss politics much (at least not overtly) but I feel (or at least I imagine) that all my relationships are strained because of it which is something I’ve never experienced before. If this opposition is in tight aspect to personal planets in your chart, I bet you’re having a similar experience.

How do you feel about this election?

I first time someone told me they were disturbed by a political ad on my blog (for McCain) I was surprised. But now it has happened 3 times (most recently on Astro Dispatch - check it out).

In all three cases the person who complained said the ad (all of these were McCain ads) interfered with their ability to enjoy content. I am just blown away by this.

Do people know that google serves the ads - the blogger does not select them? Will people boycott their favorite blogs over an ad served by google?

Fascinating and terrifying.

What do you think?

It’s killer out there for someone like me. For one thing I have gifted / cursed with Libra and I have no choice at all but to see both sides of any issue. If you have Libra yourself, I expect you understand but if not try to understand there are people out there who find it almost impossible to pick a side. Family feud? Libra see that both Mom and Sis have a point. Further when people like me encounter your extreme position we feel pretty near compelled to counter it. To move you toward the opposite pole in order to balance things.

Well let me tell you something. Pull a Libra move today and you’re liable to get nuked. People think what they think and if you say anything even remotely counter it, they immediately grab a hammer and begin beating you with it.

Speaking of the secret lives of Virgo, disgraced politician, Mark Foley is a Virgo.

So is Michael Jackson.

So is the very clean Hugh Grant… who was caught cheating on his model girlfriend with a whore, Divine Brown. Whoops!

How are these for examples of secret lives?

And don’t go jumping on this because there are other, classier examples. For example, Virgo, Sophia Loren. Years ago when a reporter yelled at her, “Hey Sophia! What are you doing with that old man?” (Carlo Ponti)

“None of your business!” she yelled back.
