Surveys in the United States may be showing the race for president as too close to call but top Indian astrologers say the planets have clearly made up their mind: John Kerry will win.
Planets governing President Bush are eclipsed and in an uncomfortable position, making his tenure controversial and his re-election bid unsuccessful, the soothsayers said on Friday, four days before the vote.
On the other hand, the planets of Democratic challenger Senator John Kerry were in the ascendant, ensuring him success in competitions.
"Saturn, which is the lord of health and fortune for President Bush, has been eclipsed by the Sun, which is unfortunate and gives him a clear defeat," Lachhman Das Madan, editor of a popular astrology magazine, told Reuters.
"Kerry will win," said Madan, who is also known as "the emperor of astrologers." "It is cosmic writ that George W. Bush cannot become president of United States again."
Ajai Bhambi, a senior astrologer and author of several books on the science of predictions, agreed.
"Kerry is likely to beat Bush in the final verdict," he told the New Indian Express newspaper.
Bejan Daruwalla, another top astrologer, told Reuters he had yet to calculate who would win Tuesday's election. But Bush, even if he won, would not be allowed by his planets to complete a full term, he said.
Astrology is extremely popular in India and many top politicians, businessmen and movie stars consult astrologers before taking important decisions.
Tuesday's vote is forecast to be one of the closest in American history. A Reuters/Zogby poll showed on Thursday that Bush was leading Kerry by 48 to 46 percent but the lead was well within the poll's margin of error.
When the Redskins lose the Sunday before the election, the party in power changes.
As long as the Redskins have been in Washington, this has worked 100%.
I figured it's just as scientific as this astrology crap.
Trust me, if anybody here is in danger of getting banned for life its your truely.
Ping to myself
Ms. Cleo eclipses Uranus
and pretty much everything else (rimshot)
When will they be reading the chicken-entrails?
Reuters isn't playing this as a joke, are they? This is presented as straight-up news. Watch the skies!
These are the same media jerks who ridiculed Nancy Reagan for "consulting an astrologer."
Fortunately for us, planets don't govern President Bush.
He who made them does.
And were NOT amused when yr hmbl srvnt poked considerable fun. I went so far once as to get a freshly slaughtered chicken from a nearby farm and asked one of these ladies if she'd read its entrails for me. (This was, in retrospect, not the wisest of moves; cleaning up thrown chicken guts is incredibly tedious...)
:^)
I don't know about that, but apparently Kerry is Uranus' favorite son candidate.
So when President Bush wins, is this guy going to admit he's a quack?
^^ ROFL!
Rooters is rooting around in garbage... like the swine they are..
Naw, I'm Katlick. We don't believe in physicists.
It must be that I'm part of a secret Jewish organization that is so secret I don't even know it. Ya know, like the Pope.
I think it is safe to say now that the astrologers were wrong. I wonder if they will even acknowledge the fact that they were dead wrong?
