Your Weekly Political Prediction

The Week of Mon Nov 3rd

Mercury is moving out of Retrograde and back to clear, direct communication, though you wouldn't know it from the smear tactics and finger-pointing of the presidential campaigns. A chill cuts through the autumnal air as Eris, a new planet arrives on the scene. She is the goddess of discord and the patron saint of "don't you even think of excluding me," promising to do whatever it takes to climb the popularity ladder. Parallels to Palin, perhaps? Eris pushes around issues of vanity and ego, inclusion and exclusion, and the addiction to status or success -- all emotional trigger points to be wary of. If you're smart enough to sit back and resist Scorpio's public emotional fervor, this should turn out okay ... but it'll take more patience than Capitol Hill had when sorting out the bailout bill. It's also good to save your sexy Scorpio urges for a private location with that special someone. Don't have a place of your own? Pretend to be a suspicious Muslim and you might be able get a room at Gitmo, now that there might finally be a few vacancies.
