You just twit that for me thanks! I guess if you start a thread with a natal chart and the following: quote:
The election day's Scorpio and Capricorn planets are rather heavy... and they show discrimination at a high intensity. It could be either positive or negative for Obama but the day is discriminatory for sure.So, What do you think? We have already seen several astrologers putting McCain as the winner based on astrology. If it really happens, then is it because there is a 'hidden' discrimination in white/non black voters that will prevail on the election day?
You might think it astrological and carry on in that manner rather than being a sheep and follow the crowd. Good day to you Sir! IP: Logged |

this thread started out as an astrological question about the election. which was well derailed! well jhwop it seems we have quite a lot in common. i am also a leo, with pluto ON the sun, mercury and venus in virgo, and scorpio on the midheaven, not rising. and i find the weakness of double leos (sun/moon) is to be more than stubborn, arrogant with it. i realize, jwhop, that you think you are right and that the rest of us are the bullshitters. but unfortunately the electoral votes appear to agree with us. i listed above a bunch of "socialist" countries, among them some of the top economies in the world. you are welcome to move to ireland if YOU like, where the economy is peachy keen, but i'll warn you the weather is hard to take, especially for a double leo from florida!! and even the irish have a degree of socialism in their welfare plans...healthcare is NOT REFUSED to those who cannot afford it...seems you just can't go anywhere those pesky socialists aren't these days. and my friends in england seem to be doing just fine...better in most cases than when thatcher was putting the hatchet to the socialist system. but do you know that since privatisation took place prices have skyrocketted and even the mail isn't reliable? never mind, soon florida will be so hot and so underwater it won't matter anyway... but please, spare me the "i hate ******** " stance when you claim to know what someone has said before they've even said it. i'm wondering whether you have even bothered to listen to obama at all??

No need to call me "sir". This is an informal setting.When racism is brought into a discussion then I don't care how it was introduced; it has become a political comment by a person who sees racism in every corner of American society. IP: Logged |

katatonic, I have no intention of moving to Ireland but there's a lot of corporations which have already done so to escape the crushing taxation and regulation imposed by demoscats and other Socialists through the years. They cannot compete in a global economy with such a disparity of tax rates and burdensome over regulation. If O'Bomber is elected then expect more US corporations to set sail for lower tax and regulation heavens.My idea would be for all those who can't get with the American agenda of self sufficiency and taking care of themselves and their families to go elsewhere. They could do a lot worse than Ireland but I fear Ireland is not up to their Socialistic tendencies of having the government act as their nanny all their lives. I find those who are wrong and continue to argue when they know they are wrong and have been shown they are wrong...I find those people to be arrogant. I find those who wish to overturn the most successful society that ever existed on earth..to date and stand it on it's ear in pursuit of personal or political gain..I find those people who are attempting to wag the dog arrogant beyond belief. I find O'Bomber with his megalomania about "saving the world" to be one of the most arrogant twits I've ever had the displeasure of hearing. I wouldn't count those electoral votes just yet if I were you. I know Mr. Supreme Arrogance himself is already measuring the drapes in the White House but if it were me, I'd put the tape measure away and wait for the voters to decide. As for those Socialist countries you mentioned katatonic, let me suggest you check those economies against the United States and what capitalism produces. While you're doing that, you might want to check Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea and Vietnam. When you do your checking, you might discover that the entire EU with it's 500,000,000 citizens in 27 nations with a workforce of 223,000,000 have a combined 2007 GDP of 14.43 trillion, measured in USD. The US with about 300,000,000 and a labor force of 153,000,000 produced GDP of $13.86 trillion in USD. Now, if you want to separate those who you say are among the top economies of the world out of the EU numbers and compare them to the United States, be my guest. Well, Florida may again be underwater but I'm a very good swimmer so I'm not in panic mode just yet. So katatonic, are you saying O'Bomber didn't trot out a bunch of people to wail and moan about how they just can't make it in America...without O'Bomber? Are you saying O'Bomber didn't attribute all of America's woes to Bush and McCain? Because if that's what you are saying then I'll go and look up a transcript of O'Bomber's commercial from last night. All I heard and I didn't want to hear even that much was..."together, we can save the world". What claptrap from THE ONE, THE MESSIAH, the "citizen of the world" who apparently doesn't know he's running for election to the office of President of the United States.

obama is a politician. so is mccain. they have both said things i would be mortified to have said. and no, he did not attribute everything to bush and mccain. he patently pointed out that this is not a partisan mess and it has been building for decades. which, since you have been around, you might have noticed. i have yet to see the whole thing so i will only comment on what i did see. it was an infomercial. i don't have much patience with politicking. that's why i am not a politician! don't tell me mccain's approach has been honest or without slander. but i have no patience at all with know-it-alls who presume to quote someone they haven't heard. have you heard ANY of his speeches, or just the spliced clips in campaign ads on both sides - especially the republican side. so far the quotes and links i have followed from your posts - and that is not all of them by any means - have been bogus, defunct or someone else's opinion.

i suggested you move to ireland (jokingly, by the way) because you are very quick to suggest that any one who doesn't like YOUR version of america should leave. sounds kind of like "why don't you go back where you came from". this country is not about ONE kind of lifestyle/ approach/ political party/ colour/ religion...etc. it is about the freedom to pursue one's own moral compass. the right to elect ones governors. the right to go along with what the majority decides. those and other rights have been eroded over a long period of time, but we have the right to keep fighting for our rights, too! or do we??IP: Logged |

some people have a magic touch when it comes to money and success, to making something out of nothing Obama definitely has that.Yeah...I can see that....if you use co-rulerships, Jupiter rules his 2nd house....so Moon trine 2nd house ruler He has his 8th house ruler Mercury oppose/contraparallel Jupiter too....that can be good...especially when you add the Moon....3 planet configuration...so Moon makes easy aspects to both 2nd house ruler and 8th house ruler His 8th house ruler Mercury links to Jupiter contraparallel Pluto in declinations...that could be good for business,investments. Jupiter/Pluto midpoint is said to be associated with wealth he has that midpoint square his Ascendant with 51 minutes of arc. He has Sun/Uranus midpoint oppose his Ascendant with 51 minutes of arc. This looks like a person who can help generate great change that is beneficial for him and others. His Secondary Progressed/Solar Arc Midheaven squares Natal Jupiter/Pluto midpoint with 27 minutes of arc applying on Election Day. That looks like beneficial changes,power expansion. That also means that his Secondary Progressed/Solar Arc Midheaven has been conjuncting his Ascendant which seems like he found his soul life purpose when deciding to run for President of the United States. It look it is the right time for him to run for president,and so he shouldn't wait for 2012 or later. He has Sun square Jupiter/Uranus midpoint with 31 minutes of arc, and that indicates he can have sudden look, beneficial changes.
Ebertin said that Jupiter/Uranus midpoint is "Thank The Lord" I find it interesting that transiting Jupiter/Uranus midpoint is conjuncting his Ascendant now,and he will still have that transit on Election Day. He had that transit when Colin Powell endorsed him too. Transiting Jupiter/Uranus midpoint aspecting his midpoint picture of Ascendant = Sun/Uranus = Jupiter/Pluto on Election Day looks like he will be thanking god for being allowed to make beneficial changes by being in power. In other words, looks like a good transit configuration for somebody that's elected president....especially when he already has Jupiter/Uranus midpoint aspect any way that is reinforced by his Jupiter/Uranus midpoint. Transiting Jupiter/Node midpoint conjunct his Jupiter exact on November 7th. That looks very good for him hmmmmmmmm.....I should have looked at his Cosmobiology chart. These midpoints show a lot..
He even looks like a natural reformer with Uranus conjunct Sun/Pluto midpoint with 30 minutes of arc. IP: Logged |

I guess you can put astrology and politics in the same basket, according to astrology. Both involve personal opinions and heated debate. My sincere apologies for making light comments on a serious subject, mainly aimed at you. All in fair play of course To answer your original question...we have Gordon Brown...dont you know he is good with the economy? Maybe after the worlds eyes are taken away from America, we can have clearer sense of what will happen over here. Its not just Americans who are affected by this election in the coming weeks. 9th house/Sagittarius/Jupiter for race/ different cultures.

Black Man Given Nation's Worst Job November 5, 2008 | Issue 44•45 WASHINGTON—African-American man Barack Obama, 47, was given the least-desirable job in the entire country Tuesday when he was elected president of the United States of America. In his new high-stress, low-reward position, Obama will be charged with such tasks as completely overhauling the nation's broken-down economy, repairing the crumbling infrastructure, and generally having to please more than 300 million Americans and cater to their every whim on a daily basis. As part of his duties, the black man will have to spend four to eight years cleaning up the messes other people left behind. The job comes with such intense scrutiny and so certain a guarantee of failure that only one other person even bothered applying for it. Said scholar and activist Mark L. Denton, "It just goes to show you that, in this country, a black man still can't catch a break." http://www.theonion.com/content/news_briefs/black_man_given_nations IP: Logged |

Unfortunately, homophobia did. Even in states where Obama did very well, antigay measures passed. What's interesting is that those measures restricting abortion didn't.A friend read today that overall most racial communities were roughly split on the issues of gays & abortions, save hispanic & black. Hispanic populations tend to be opposed to both while the black community is opposed mainly to gays but supportive of abortion rights. While not conclusive, it does suggest that the black vote may have been the "bigot vote" in the election because of this. Just pointing out the irony that seems to be at work here. IP: Logged |

The Prop 8 people had commercials on practically every channel, they flooded the radios and they had banners practically everywhere. They ran a scare tactic campaign, with commercials of young kindergarten boys/girls coming home telling their parents that since they just learned at school that same sex people can get married, they wanted to marry a another boy/girl when they grow up. That scared many parents.
