It’s in the stars! Astrologists predict President Barack Obama will win the 2012 election

link


The general election is a Leo vs. Pisces throwdown — and the lion looks strong.

A panel of five astrologers unanimously agreed at the United Astrologers Conference that President Obama will beat Mitt Romney on Election Day.

Chicago astrologist and panelist Nina Gryphon said that her prediction stems from the Aries ingress, the moment when the Sun crosses over to the sign of Aries.

"It's obvious," Gryphon told Reuters. "Obama stays where he is without a change in status."

no way they can KNOW that.
Period.

it's NOT in the stars, or planets
no guarantee

I HOPE OBAMA WINS!

Strangely, the planets compared to the USA chart at that look pretty idle, no real big surprises, which surprises me

but even though I'm not Rick, I'll put it here instead.

A pattern in life I've noticed is when something gets all effed up, sometimes the situation returns and provides an opportunity for "do-overs." I think this is that "do-over."

The GOP may (ok, will) try their dirty tricks again. This time, the Dems will (ok, may) be ready for the fight. It certainly appears that way, with Obama already taking the fight to them, and applying their own "strengths" against them, defining them early on, forcing them to paint themselves into a corner,and putting them on the defensive right from the get go.

Obama made plenty of mistakes in his 1st 4 years, but I believe he learned from those mistakes. And that he's pissed off. The banksters know this,for example; he bailed them out and gave them the opportunity to 'do the right thing.' Instead they continued on their merry way, and kicked a little sand in his face en route. So now they're in a panic and throwing (our ) money to Rmoney by the tankerload.

Except they face a real dilemma: The only tool they have against Obama is more advertising, more money, more of everything. But the more everybody sees of Rmoney, the less they like him.

IOW, this is a situation where more really is less

Galileo spent the last years of his life under house arrest because he demonstrated empirically that there is NO SUCH THING as "Mercury in retrograde". It's an illusion created by the difference of radii of the orbits of Earth and Mercury that makes Mercury appear to stop and reverse itself in the sky.

I wouldn't have replied to this, normally, but it was on the front page. It seems BEYOND foolhardy to trust astrologers about something so important as the 2012 election, when they were proven to be frauds centuries ago.

The look on his face is usually typical Pisces:
'blinded by the light,' almost.. fazed...

But his words and actions are not Piscean.
I think he's in a Neptune-fueled cloud of delusion
about who he is, and his life's purpose.
He's been led astray by the false prophets
of money and fame, and policital aspirations.
He'll never succeed if he isn't true to himself.

It's a small American tragedy.
If I step away from my political point of view,
I almost pity him.

they can be read coldly mathematical, archetypal--and there are many astrologers who are also channelers and clairvoyants. They read people along with their natal charts and transits. This is why these arts can be so confusing, because a complex art/philosophy such as Astrology is more like a hologram than a two-dimensional question-answer mechanism, and in the mix are the charlatans who are faking the whole thing.

I think I am more comfortable with Astrological readings that clarify the mathematical aspects and probabilities, (and perhaps the personal observations of people they've read before)--separate from the person's clairvoyant instincts and impressions. That way I can decide what is resonating or not within my own being, as a person receiving the information. Because predictions are a dynamic system between the receiver and the reader--I think I am touching on the ethics of reading here, because without it, a lot of damage can be done in creating illusions out of nothing...and isn't that the bane of these arts?

Even clairvoyants can pick up on another timeline and be inaccurate, so I think it is important for this to be clarified too.

Wishing everyone peace~~

Forget what movie that was from-Peter Sellers playing Confusious ( I think)... LOL!!


The repugs are actually handing the re-election to Obama! It's a flippin' shoe-in!
Folks have had it with Romney and company. Actually they've had it with both sides, but Obama, I truly feel will let loose all the things he couldn't accomplish before, we'll see!
