Voters aren’t the only people with a sense of foreboding about the upcoming election… astrologers are calling it a time of upheaval and using words like ’screwed up’. Now that’s scientific!
Forget about Tuesday’s votes in Oregon and Kentucky. Barack Obama has won the Cosmic Primary and is destined to be the next president of the United States.
A time of upheaval is coming, they agreed. Election Day - Nov. 4 - will put Saturn in opposition to Uranus, meaning the two planets are aligned at opposite ends of the zodiac. Saturn symbolizes experience and the establishment. Uranus is the planet of change and youth. When they are opposed, the country sees a period of “revolutionary fervor,” said Raymond Merriman, the panel’s moderator. The last Saturn-Uranus opposition was from 1965-67, a time of drastic cultural change.
Other astrological events during the summer make the election unpredictable. Democrats will gather in Denver for their national convention in August - the same month as a solar eclipse and a partial lunar eclipse.
The events raise the possibility of President Bush somehow interfering with the election, said Robert Hand of Reston, Va.
In fact, most of the astrologers on the panel weren’t sure if the winner of the election would be the same person taking the oath of office on Inauguration Day. Some of them expressed concern about Obama’s personal safety.
And most menacing of all, whoever wins might regret it. The charts don’t look good at all for Jan. 20, Inauguration Day.
“Whoever gets sworn in, it ain’t going to work too well,” Ackerman said.
The worst thing I discovered while reading the article? Obama and I share a birthday. Talk about an ominous sign….

So sorry about your shared b-day…my daughter shares her birthdate with Bill “want a lollipop?” Clinton. We tell her she saved the date from total despair.
