<< YEAR ZERO + 30 ~ MAIN ~ BORN TO WALK >>
HOWARD'S EXIT CONFIRMED
Being an Aries, I’m naturally sceptical of astrology. Here’s Sydney astrologer Ed Tamplin last June:
A 2005 Solar Return bringing Saturn with it, opposing Chiron and squaring Mars confirms John Howard’s exit from Australian politics. To win he would need an early election around August, but even that is a close call.
Youthful Mark Latham, born Sydney February 28 1961 (time unknown - circulated 1.30 a.m.), has rejuvenated Labor’s chances at government, popularly coming into party leadership as his progressed Sun arrived at Venus and directed Jupiter came to his natal Sun. Astrologically he was a ‘shoe-in’ ...
In contrast to Howard, Latham has been openly critical of US President George Bush. A lot depends on the aftermath of the Iraq war and terrorist activities when it comes to election results. Latham, whose birth Sun opposes Pluto, will always attract powerful opposition. But if he’s ever going to rise above it then this has to be the time. Assuming his birth-time to have a modicum of accuracy he is a big chance to win. Latham’s chances look strongest from late September 2004 onward. He would favour an election then. Latham’s progressed Sun trining Uranus, whilst the transiting Uranus moves over his natal Sun next year, makes him a real wild card, and a real nemesis for Howard in the latter part of the year, and onward.
The election was held in early October, and Latham quit politics entirely earlier this year. What went wrong? Ed explains:
Voters have short memories and planets also change daily.
Wotta loada HORSESHIT!
I hope people don’t pay this maroon actual money or anything for his piece-o’-crap prognostications.

Posted by chinesearithmetic on 2005 04 13 at 02:09 PM • permalinkI had it explained to me once by a reformed astrologer. It isnt just shit, but it is utter shit. It isnt the influence of the planets as such, but of the Roman gods who bear the same name. Eg high influence of Mars is supposed to indicate aggression and warlike tendencies. That is a characteristic of the Roman god Mars, not the pile of rocks floating around in space several million miles away.
As for money, one of the ‘top’ newspaper astrologers here in the UK is reported to make £500k a year thru the phone lines. Beats studying engineering or throwing yourself around a coal mine for a living…

Tamplin is full of it ;
His (Kerry) planets suggested he would be popular, and he was overwhelmingly so - but he still lost.
and
Let’s face it, winning the race for what must be the toughest job in the country has its drawbacks. Anyone who has seen sitting Australian Prime Ministers remarkably accelerate the aging process would have to agree that perhaps the loser wins in real terms.
Only Tamplin wins, at the bank.
and planets also change daily.
Yes, yes: the paths of the stars and planets, such a mystery! Following no known laws, governed by mere caprice.

All the more incredible then how the Brits and NASA keep bulls-eyeing Mars with them probes. “Lead it back a bit, Bubba-Joe-Bob, the red bastid’s a-jinkin’ !”

The idea that it influences Australian federal elections carries the absurdity of astrology to a new extreme.
I’ve figured it out! It’s all Gerry Anderson’s fault! Remember Journey to the Far Side of the Sun? We’re all living on the wrong mirror Earth so of course all the astrological predictions are reversed!
What?

Well, as Flying Giraffe mentioned above, the celestial body itself doesn’t matter one lick, just the characteristics of mythological Chiron.
On that note, anybody up for getting the next-discovered Jupiter or Saturn moon named “Bush” just to mess with these people?
Remember Journey to the Far Side of the Sun?
Richard, that’s where the planet Gor is located. Where the slave women who serve their manly masters in all ways imaginable live. Most of which were kidnapped from Earth by Gor slavers. Sanctioned by the Priest Kings. Of course, this is all fiction you know.
OK, that is two postings I’ve written on the slave women of Gor. I’ll try to redirect my attention to more weightier issues from now on. And not on novels about women in bondage. Or slave girls serving pichers of ale before performing sexy dances IN THE NUDE!!! for the warrior men.
Yes, back to Australian politics. Which is, you know, more interesting.
Posted by wronwright on 2005 04 13 at 11:22 PM • permalinkTo my knowledge, no astrologers or seers predicted WWII or 9/11. I just read a book of so-called prophesies - the only one even close to realty was Mother Shipton (if she really existed). The rest concerned mostly environmental disasters - one had the last human being dying in 1999. They were big on rogue commets and ongoing plagues - international chaos and starvation - environmental disasters - and nuclear holocaust.
Also, the AntiChrist has been born in Chicago (!!) and is being watched over by a coven of fanatical Satanists.
As it was, John, in his first tilt at the White House, got a higher vote than any other President in living memory
Don’t you actually have to be elected to earn the privilege of being called ‘President’?
And by elected, I mean in this universe.

Jupiter has passed into Orion
And come into conjunction with Mars
Venus is wheeling through infinite space
To its preordained place in the stars
And I gaze at the planets in wonder
At the trouble and time they expend
All to warn me to be careful
In “Dealings involving a friend.”- Donald Swann

Latham’s progressed Sun trining Uranus, whilst the transiting Uranus moves over his natal Sun next year, makes him a real wild card, and a real nemesis for Howard in the latter part of the year, and onward.
I admit that I’m not an astrologer but it sounds to me that Howard’s progressed sun kicked Latham’s transiting Uranus.
