“Yesterday there were two significant transits in the GOP candidates’ charts. A transit is when a planet in the sky right now makes a certain angle (0, 60, 90, 120, 180 degrees apart) to a planet or point in the natal chart. It is a good indicator used in forecasting.

John McCain’s Ascendant is being transited by the planet Mars. This usually signifies a need for physical exercise to release that Martian (God of War) energy. It is a good time for physical work requiring stamina. It will most likely boost your assertiveness. Mars can also bring on rashness, impatience, and temper flairs. There are a number of dynamic transits in McCain’s chart right now and through the next few months, as is true with Barack Obama’s, also…”

“Millions of Americans, not all of them conservatives, instinctively identify with Palin. That is why the left’s scorching assault, so ugly and unhinged, is backfiring. The longer it goes on, the more it undermines the Democratic ticket- - and the more support it builds for McCain, and his refreshingly normal mate. Jeff Jacoby Enough of the Palin feeding frenzy,

The Boston Globe.

Sarah Palin is a born leader, from the generation that not only understands the need for change in America, but also has the ability and the drive to help bring it into reality. She will be a terrific asset to McCain before, during and after the election, surviving the dirt and mud and excrement being flung at her. She is that strong…”

“The position of Gordon Brown has not been easy from the start and is even uneasier today. His natal Saturn, ruler MC, square MC seems to have the same effect on him and his nation as Saturn square MC has in the chart of George W. Bush. Like GWB he manages to remain in function. And like George W. Bush he managed to be in charge of a nation. How did he manage? And will he step back? If he does, he will do so in good conditions. A vital change might save his position, but: there are always ‘but’s’ and ‘however’s’ in the chart and life of Gordon…”

“There seems to be some confusion over the fact that generational placements (like Chiron in Pisces and Neptune in Scorpio, for example) are expressed differently in different people. There are infinite possibilities for how something like, for example, Chiron in Pisces, will show up in a person’s life/being.So just to make things clear here: I am not making blanket statements about everyone with the same generational placements as Sarah Palin. I am analyzing Sarah Palin’s chart and her’s alone…”

A good friend and a gifted healer passed along an email to me by none other than Dr. Deepak Chopra (late Libra). Seems as though Dr. Chopra is more political than I thought. In the email, he clearly states that Sarah Palin is a manifestation of “our shadow” a “projection” of our fears. Here is the dirty laundry list of what Chopra calls, “The Palin Effect.”

• Small town values : a nostalgic return to simpler times disguises a denial of America’s global role, a return to petty, small-minded parochialism.

“Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak; and that it is doing God’s service when it is violating all his laws.” John Adams ~ Too true, Mr. President!

John Adams was born Oct 30, 1735 (Oct 19, Old Style; 2:57 am LMT) - this chart data is rated ’C’ in the AstroDataBank files with his details supplied by Doris Chase Doane.

Unless Pres. Adams, the first US president to reside in the White House, was born after 8:59 pm LMT, his natal Moon is in Aries, with Sun in Scorpio.

“Venus in synastry is the planet of sympathies and kindness. Venus sometimes is important in the connection between the charts of men. Karl Rove’s Venus in Capricorn is in mutual reception with Saturn in Libra. That brings business and cool facts into the world of sympathies and joy. Venus-Capricorn-Saturn is also the combination that we find in the charts of attractive males!

It gives him a realistic and somewhat cold approach when sympathies are involved. And in business he will be a diplomat. Karl Rove is in the news again and Venus is of importance in that matter…”

I’d like to talk a bit about a topic coming to the forefront these days as we hurtle ever-closer to the official start of the Aquarian Age. And that is, the importance of first learning and integrating the lessons of the Piscean Age. We can’t truly move forward in any sort of progressive way until this is mastered.

I know I’ve gone on about this in the past, but I really don’t think it can be talked about too much until we all really GET it…”

“There should be a law. Nobody should be able to run for public office unless they have a verified time of birth! Think of all the headaches, backaches, and eye strain astrologers suffer through, both amateurs and professionals, in trying to pin the candidates down. Some must be skittish by now about releasing their birth time, even if they know it.

As a long-term student of Astrology, I too, indulge in trying to read the charts–having gathered at least four different birth times for John McCain over the past few months…”

“Last evening when former head writer Tina Fey returned to Saturday Night Live, expectations for her impression of Sarah Palin were high, and Fey masterfully delivered alongside Amy Poehler’s brilliant version of Hillary Clinton to open the show.Tina Fey was born May 18, 1970 in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia with Mercury, planet of writers, conjunct Saturn (form; work) in Taurus…”
