8/31/2008 Dear friends of Astrological Varieties, The September forecast is up. Just click below and select “Monthly Astrology Column”. Let us meditate and pray for the people living in the Gulf coast. I did predict in my updated forecast for 2008 that this presidential election year could be interrupted by unexpected weather patterns, earthquakes or a possible tsunami in the Pacific Basin. Please take the time over the next several days to pray, meditate and send white light to the areas between northern Florida and the coastline of Texas. I am predicting that John McCain and Sarah Palin who have already decided to head to Mississippi today will begin the healing process of the past in relationship to the wounds left behind by the Republican Party. With so much resentment from Katrina to the Republican Party it offers an opportunity for the Republican’s to heal some of the PR damage by making adjustments during the time of their RNC week. I clearly stated on my updated predictions for 2008 on July 22, 2008 that whoever picked a female Vice President would win the election. I am standing by this prediction. As most of you know I wanted Hillary Clinton to be the V.P. for the Democratic Party. That obviously did not happen. As unexpected circumstances arise through erratic weather patterns and other unexpected events, the Republican Party will gain momentum over the next six weeks. Barak Obama was not expecting the unexpected and chose a more conservative V.P. choice. It is going to be a very close race to the white house. Sarah Palin is born February 11, 1964 under the sign of Aquarius. Therefore, she believes in working with others to benefit humanity. I do not have an exact birthtime. I placed her time at 12:00 Noon. With four or five planets in the air element (The Moon could be in Capricorn rather than Aquarius) if she was born after 11:00AM, this is a very independent women. Aquarian women that I have met in my personal life have a very strong nature and present a challenge to men if contested. Top this off with Mars in Aries and five or six planets in the fixed qualities and you have a women who is very committed to her own way of doing things. Very stubborn. With only one planet in water she is not the type of women who will hang out in a corner and cry. She is a fighter for humanity (Aquarius), and she knows how to get her message across with Gemini rising. The rising sign could change but it looks like Gemini. With Saturn, Mars and Sun possibly trine to her rising sign we have someone who communicates forcefully (Mars) and with a lot of energy (Sun) but with control (Saturn). Wow. She is a reformer. She has Uranus conjunct Pluto in Virgo. She pay’s attention to fine details and is very quick to make precise judgments. Neptune squares her Saturn, Mars and Sun stellium showing deceptive actions which lead to trouble if she is not careful. Neptune is in Scorpio so she has an investigative mind and loves research. She will reform the Republican agenda and even though she holds very conservative beliefs and points of view she may surprise people down the road. Spiritual teachings show in her chart or teachings that are forward thinking. Even an interest in astrology with all of the planets in Aquarius coupled with Uranus in Virgo conjunct Pluto. With 7 planets reflecting male energy and only three reflecting female she would be able to withstand a lot of pressure. When I get her exact birhtime I will elaborate more. One thing is for sure, Joe Biden had better wear a cup when he debates her because she is going to come out swinging. Hillary could help Joe out but I don’t think Hillary Clinton (Scorpio) is going to lend a helping hand after all she has been through.
