Nice! I was waiting to plug the time into my

astro.com chart last night and thought it
looked pretty good (though I know way less
than you about mundane astrology). We had
been thinking that given how late Obama’s
speech started the night before that she might
not be on until after 11. Then Chelsea got on
right after 10 pm, then the video, then Hillary
started speaking but nally accepted at 10:47.
You may be right that some astrologer was
behind the scenes somewhere because it
certainly was auspicious given the planetary
transiting positions to work with.

Thanks Lynn! I always love reading your

articles and the thoughtful comments of the
posters. I know nothing about the mechanics of
astrology but it always fascinates me just the
same. I remember reading the Astrotabletalk
blog where Barry predicted that Trump would
win because of the outer planet in uence (He
correctly predicted this with Obama’s 2012
victory). Who knows really but whoever wins
there are certain to be more lessons for the
collective. Of course the thought of a Trump
victory makes me shudder but because politics
are so mired by money and real control is given
to the few I have checked out because my trust
in all government processes has been de ated.
I hope when Pluto nears its end in Capricorn
we will become transformed for the greater
good and less likely to worship the All Mighty
Dollar.

Lynn Hayes August 1, 2016 at 5:25 pm - Reply

I did go back and look at Barry’s blog. He

believes that the candidate with the most
charisma will win. I believe that Trump
will detonate – neither candidate is ideal
and I think as a global society we are a
long way from the Utopian world in
which human life has more value than the
dollar.

you could also post the charts! thx

Does that mean Clinton will win?

Lynn Hayes August 19, 2016 at 10:32 am - Reply

Predicting elections is a fool’s game.

Astrology provides insight into the
landscape of a person, a situation, an
event or a problem, but it doesn’t predict
the future and anyone who says it does is
usually wrong.

I might not, and I am well aware of

that. But it does show chances.

Hi

Very Interesting Article .

Kindly Note As per the Birth Details of Donald

Trump which I have Seem to Suggest that He
 Has Started His Jupiter Dasa From April 2016
Onwards . Jupiter is No Way Connected to His
10th House or 7th House .
This Jupiter Generally can Give Him Immense
Success in Business for the NExt 16 Years .

Thus I Feel He is Not in Contention and

Suggests Very Less Chances of Winning the
Election.
