“The US Presidential elections are nearing. The esteemed readers of my website must not have forgotten the predictions made in April this year regarding the Presidential hopefuls. At that time there were three candidates, there was a clear Republican candidate John S McCain to fight the election and there were two powerful Democrats. Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama were competing amongst themselves to see as to who would be the Democrats’ choice. We were clear at that time and had predicted that Hilary Clinton would lose and Barack Obama would have an edge…”

“Last Sunday, I was disappointed when Ray Merriman decided to dispense with the last part of his weekly commentary, which is usually called “Longer-Term Thoughts.”

Ray, who is considered the “Dean of Financial Astrology,” said he fears his column is being politicized ahead of the Election and is refraining from making comments about the long term for now.

As I study the fall equinox chart, set for 11:45 a.m. on Sept. 22, I too am feeling hesitation about reporting my interpretation of this chart. I think many astrologers are having a hard time separating what they would like for this country and what they see in their charts…

“Many observers have noticed a dual conservative/liberal cycle in U.S. politics. I believe it has an astrological basis. After Pluto completes aspecting (by 45 degree angles) the Ascendant/Mars/Uranus combination associated with imperialism (War of 1812, Mexican War, Spanish American War, Viet Nam, Reagan Era, currently 2000- October 2006 ) it begins forming octave aspects (45 degree) by transit to the U.S. natal Venus, Jupiter, Sun, and Mercury which as a group acts as a pacific relief and counter to the aggressive Ascendant/Mars/Uranus cycle…”

“The Indian government has constituted a panel of soothsayers headed by astrologer Deadpan Hoochwala to advise the National Insecurity Advisor on terror related issues. The panel, after studying the position of various planets, has submitted that the position of some of them was not favorable for the nation at the moment. It has also suggested that the PM wear a special bracelet to deflect terror attacks from the country’s soil…”

“With Barack Obama’s natal Saturn (authority) in its sign of traditional Capricorn (politics, law, business) I’ve been wondering repeatedly whether Obama-as-president would bring us Uranian change or Saturnian status quo, despite campaign rhetoric.And as both readers of this blog know, Saturn opposes Uranus on Nov 4, 2008…US Election Day, as the universe echoes the importance of this election and the world’s future direction - As Above, So Below!

“Many astrologers call Chiron the bridge “between old and new.” With the exact opposition of transiting Saturn to transiting Uranus on Election Day representing the old (Saturn) and the new (Uranus) I wondered how Chiron shows up in our candidates charts as well as in the chart for the nation’s birth on July 4, 1776.

In essence, Chiron helps us to work with the energies of Saturn; Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Through life experiences we learn to deal with the limitations, and make productive use of, the Saturn energies…”

“While Sarah Palin continues to get hacked and cleeved, and Obama rides the economic tsunami to a ten-point-surge, halfway around the world, another woman is getting ready to enter the octagon of full-contact, geo-politics and will play as important a role in world peace as Obama and McCain. Her name is “Tzipi Livni.” She is in a position to succeed Israel’s embattled Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, who is stepping down due to multiple charges of corruption during his tenure as PM. Livni secured the top spot of succession by defeating Transport Minister, Shaul Mofaz, by a mere 431 votes. She has the potential to be Israel’s first, elected woman PM and it’s first since Golda Meir was appointed.

“People have horoscopes and so do buildings, pets, events, storms and anything of note. So it is possible to run the astrology chart of an event such as Election Day. I ran a horoscope for November 4, 2008 for 9pm Washington DC time to coincide with the closing of the polls. The resulting chart was very interesting.

On this post I will discuss how the day itself can play out based on transiting planets…”

“As I fretted about in my my first blog entry about Sarah Palin, technology seems to be playing an increasing role in the 2008 US Presidential elections. Gawker.com reports that Governor Palin has just recently had two of her Yahoo e-mail accounts hacked, and some of the contents thereof have been published online.

Gawker credits Anonymous, the online group determined to overthrow Scientology, with the hacking of Sarah’s Yahoo accounts. Admittedly, this could be a hoax…”

“Last Friday, I was at a friends place. She had read the blog and as she was rushing out the door to a dinner party, she whispered in my ear, “be a little harder on Sarah Palin.” She hugged me and left. Another friend took me to task because he thought I wasn’t being hard enough on Palin as well. He didn’t come right out and say it, but I got his drift.

Then, there’s this person I know, mostly from a message board I frequent, who is a brilliant, retired, ex-pat-leftist, now living in The South Of France. He had this to say about Sarah Palin; “Palin has enough experience in government and has lived long enough not to be the very repulsive, stupid and vindictive creature that she is. She is a monstrosity. She belongs in a reeducation camp, not a heartbeat away from the presidency.” Ahhh, the honey-sweet, compassionate tolerance of The Left.
