The astrology of Election Day

[sixmile]

"Today, leading up to the election the Moon is in Capricorn, heading towards a conjunction to Jupiter. There will be a sense of responsiblity and duty with the Moon in Capricorn, and the combination with Jupiter suggests that an overarching feeling of optimism will take over, particularly towards 6:00 pm when the Moon/Jupiter conjunction is at its peak.

The conjunction of the Moon to Jupiter in Capricorn makes a trine to Saturn in Virgo and a sextile to Uranus in Pisces. These are harmonious aspects, which suggest that the optimism and positivity of the Moon/Jupiter combination will soften the potentially disruptive effect of the Saturn/Uranus opposition in which the structures of our world (Saturn) are challenged by the need of Uranus to effect change where change is needed."

1. Thanks for this. I was wondering just this very thing a few nights ago, when I observed

the beautiful night sky in Florida.

3. You know, people like yourself who understand the way this works have always amazed me.

And I know it's a matter of interest and spending the time to learn. But I don't quite seem to have it, and when I see others that do, I am always amazed. Thank you.

6. Oh thanks

and I went and deleted the post for being too esoteric...:)

The only way I learned was osmosis from reading way too much of it. If you are interested, here's some good links:

http://astrologyblogger.com/ -a site with a stream of updates on astrological articles and blogs, a lot of fun reading there.

http://raginguniverse.blogspot.com/ - my friend jm, who is one of the best astrologers and one of the biggest Obama fans I know

http://neithnet.blogspot.com/ - my other friend Neith, who is also amazing.

Have fun!

11. How it "works"

Saying that astrology "works" is a bit of a stretch :D

5. You are a special person, and I think I just learned why. Classic editing.

7. I'm going to give a lot more credit to hard work...

...and a great candidate than to where various pieces of space rock happen to be floating at any given moment in time.

8. Space rock with incredible amounts of energy that we don't fully understand yet.

That exude their forces into many far reaches of the universe. Plus, what you said.

12. Woo wouldn't be complete...

...with a little abuse of the word "energy". :)

Besides, if you don't "fully understand" this stuff yet, the more reasonable position is to NOT assume you can make correlations between human events and astronomical events until you know more. I've never quite understood why so many people are comfortable believing that not understanding something is a good excuse to fill the vacuum of understanding with wild, detail-filled fantasies that come off like someone acting as if they have a whole lot of special understanding.
