There have to be some FReepers who believe in or lean towards astrology, since we have over 400,000 members. Somebody is keeping that multi-billion dollar industry alive. And yes, there were only two choices in November. Which is why I’m amazed at so many people being stunned by Trump’s victory. If you’re on one of the two major party tickets, you have an awful good statistical chance of being president. It’s only by chance that Sarah Palin isn’t the retiring vice president or in the White House herself. Or Michael Dukakis, Hubert Humphrey or Adlai Stevenson.
Sarah Palin (should have been) our Vice President. Then our President.
The thing is, what we have seen from Palin (back then) and Trump (now) is a difference in their styles, and I think that difference is why Trump is President right now.
I supported Palin, very early on. But she sort of didn’t have Trump’s ability to turn things around on the attackers. So lots of the attacks on her, stuck. I’m sorry that happened, but it did.
Trump is quite different in this regard. He attacks right back. Always.
That is such a refreshing characteristic.
It is why Trump is President, and why Palin is not.
I am totally for Palin. She was the best candidate recently, until Trump came along. But she didn’t have that same instinct.
Trump is unique. Very glad he came along, when he did.
There is a school of astrology, believe it or not and I’ll probably get flamed for this since I have been in the past, that is Biblical, it’s what the Magi used to find the baby Jesus. It’s known as Mundane Astrology and it does not seek individual gain or to try to subvert what was written in the stars from the beginning, as Herod tried to do. The author is correct, astrology in general leans very left but not all of them are. Donald Trump has a very auspicious chart and it’s been obvious for his entire life. It’s almost as if he were destined for this, as improbable as so many people seem to believe this to be in the present time. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, is quite literally star-crossed. Had she somehow managed to get into the office of President, it would have been a star-crossed Presidency with all manner of weird setbacks and pitfalls, ultimately ending in defeat despite very powerful backing and very ambitious plans. This, too, has been obvious for her entire life. Take it for what you will. Me, I’m Christian and while I don’t put a great deal of thought or effort into the topic I do recognize that it’s not what is described as forbidden in the Bible, matter of fact it’s fairly notable throughout, particularly in the Book Of Revelation. Mundane Astrology is world astrology, not individual. It seeks to understand the rise and fall of leaders, kings and nations. That’s the big difference between the utter crap in the daily newspaper, the individual charts that verge upon outright divination and are therefore forbidden, and this.
