Just heard on the radio that final outcome may be known as late as the end of the month... Reality sure reflects the complexity of this chart (or should that be the other way around ? :-) The heavily occupied 12th house surely correlates with the mist (myst?fogue?) and acclaimed dubiousness of a few (key position) states' results... Talk about hidden enemies, eh. And Mercury retro: general indicator of machinery or communication-linked things, going wrong! (referring to the failure of the voting computers in several places...). Ah, well: if such a heavy Scorpio-alignment promises something, thrilling it surely is! Cheers, Herman Well, House of Representatives is won by the Dems, Senate remains to be seen right now.

Here a bad situation is getting worse. Also he stresses how this could mean that whatever the planet cmb or under suns beams signifies, either can see something or cant be seen. I guess we could make a case for both of these testimonies vis a vis the republicans problems. regards G.

As you may be aware, a planet in retrogradation will always conjoin or oppose the Sun at some point during its retrograde period, so rx *implies* combustion or opposition to the Sun. They are not separable events. I personally do not have much use for Uranus, but would still confidently predict the Democrats taking over one or more of the Houses. At least based on my reading the newspaper. Warmly, Nina Dear Gary,

Thanks for your Euro-cents; they are always more than welcome here. You may well be right, and the gift will not be a great one. I, for one, wouldn't want the task of undoing what this administration has managed to do. Warmly, Nina Hoy Herman!

Astrologer Jacob Schwartz thinks that the Dems will either take both or at least one of the houses of congress. This is based primarily on charts that he had done for the when the polls open on election day. This Nov 7th is similar to 1994 when the republicans swept into power, except that it's going in the other direction. There is a rising stellium in Scorpio just like in 94 and since it was 12 years ago, it's a Jupiter return (a cycle change). He also makes a good case for the Dems being ruled by Saturn which is the next planet that the moon will conjunct. Also this year's election day chart has the moon in mutable Gemini square Uranus--people want change!

Yet I wish to make this remark: Mercury is heading for a exact opposition with the Part of Fortune (the "Trophee", or the "Prize to be won"), and at the same time approaching Venus who disposes of the PoF, so that really looks promising for the Ruling Party (democrats). Only... Venus who as dispositor represents everything the PoF entices is as you state in a quite bad shape, and Mercury gets the Prize by opposition, not the easiest or nicest of aspects! So, the gift may be a poisoned one! Meaning, yes they will winn, but they'll probably regret it heavily afterwards?
