What is your opinion of political fortune-tellers?

[Feanorcurufinwe]

You, know, the folks who, instead of debating the facts as they are, insist on predicting the future based on their hopes and fears? "Dean will be the nominee" "Kerry will bring back the draft" and so on.

1. shortly after * got "selected". . .

I looked at his chart. I saw that he would get very popular during his first year in office. Then he would get inflated, then he would get delusional. Then towards the end of his "reign", he would get exposed. If I'm wrong I will eat my ephemeris, and be totally bummed.

2. At least you are claiming some basis for your predictions

That allows discussion. People can question the validity of astrology in general, of your methodology in particular, the data you used, or conclusions you drew. You're not just saying: this is how the future will be because I say so.


I'm certainly pulling for you to be right, lol. So far you're doing pretty good.

4. look I've not many posts yet I've lurked for a long time. . .

I know that many diss astrology based on sun sign bullshit and I couldn't agree with them more whole-heartedly. However after many decades of study and counseling, I can testify to the fact that it is a 5000 year old method of understanding better the cycles of our lives. I work with college kids.

I thought Bush would get inflated due to a Jupiter transit. I thought he would get inflated for the same reason. I thought he would get delusional because of a Neptune transit to his Mercury/Pluto conjunction ( which has since passed). I pray that he'll get exposed due to a Saturn transit to his Sun, coupled with his Saturn retuen which is occurring around the time of the election. In short, if he wins it's cause he's not really in charge anyway. Just be relentlessly about the electronic voting machines and he can't win. Or at least I humbly hope. I really don't want to eat my ephemeris either. . . yuk.

5. And have you run the same type of analysis on Cheney?

[stellanoir]

8. Okay though I am loathe to do so. . .

I've just printed up "Dipstick" Cheney's chart and his progressions. He's about to go through a major shift where he can no longer "think himself out of a situation." His modality of operating in "control" too is about to shift. I don't see the accute potential for exposure that I see in GWB's chart. However I do see that he's losing control. Too many factors. In truth, I call him "Mr. Robo-Heart " and don't even think he's alive. Kidding. But rest assured Bush is getting slammed in the arenas wherein he is most vulnerable and if that is not reflected in the polls then something is seriously rigged. Like EVM's.

3. and i am fervently hoping

that you will not have to eat your ephemeris! i think you're right, or maybe i just hope you are!

6. Look, all I know is that Nader is going to win.

If you can't see that, it's just because you're not as intelligent as I am. :)

7. They like to hear their own talking

Remember how Bush* was going to narrowly win California in 2000?

It was pure vomit from Rove spoken as if it were a possibility.

And don't forget how many MONTHS Clinton was going to resign "in a matter of hours"
