And Our Next President Is...?

Posted: 11/01/2012 1:16 pm

On November 6, voters will go to the polls and cast their ballot for our next President. Because of very powerful astrological events occurring at this time, I predict an even more dramatic and shocking election than the 2000 Bush-Gore presidential contest.

Here is my interpretation of the planetary influences that will be going on from November 6 to November 30, explaining how the presidential election drama may unfold. The very nature of the planets involved -- Uranus and Mercury -- will bring shock, surprise and confusion to this event. For this reason, it's impossible to know exactly how every detail of this election will turn out. But I will point out some of the potential surprises, which may occur and invite you to make your own interpretation after you read my analysis.

The Uranus-Pluto cycle is telling us to look for major upsets, unexpected outcomes and radical changes during this period of time. Pluto's energies bring an underworld influence where secret plotting occurs behind the scenes and even criminal activities are planned. The overall effect suggests that powerful individuals attempt to disrupt the electoral process by manipulating the results of the election. The last time this happened in recent history was Watergate in 1972.

With Mercury retrograde beginning on November 6 until November 26, look for some type of confusion or delay like we had when Mercury was retrograde during the 2000 presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore. If you recall, what followed was the "hanging chad" fiasco in Florida.

By the time the election was over, the Supreme Court historically ruled Bush the winner, even though Gore won the popular vote by more than half a million votes, and there were still questions about the Florida vote. So will this Mercury retrograde mean that the winner will eventually be the loser? For the 20 days when Mercury will be retrograde, the election results may be unclear and inaccurate. There will be something "we don't know," that we will know when Mercury goes direct on November 26.

Here's the Play-By-Play Analysis

The following is my astrological interpretation of how the election and its aftermath may play out. On Election Day, voters go to the polls. The election is held. It is close, with TV coverage presenting a confusing and ever-changing projection of which candidate is winning. Predictably MSNBC is projecting OBAMA and FOX NEWS is projecting ROMNEY. However, since Mercury is retrograde and in stressed aspect to the moon (which represents emotions and the public), you can expect news reports to constantly change, be confusing, and emotionally upsetting!

The planet Neptune, which rules deceit, deception and fraud, has been retrograde since June 4, guaranteeing that lots of treachery has been going on "behind the scenes" these past five months. It has manifested in many ways. Even though politicians normally take great license in telling the truth, during recent months the level of dishonesty has been on steroids. The only question is which candidate emerged looking more like "Pinocchio." Neptune's influence also accounts for why it's not surprising that new stories are already reporting suspected incidents of voter irregularities.

By the time Neptune goes direct on November 11, the fog will be lifted. Evidence will make it quite clear that there has been a great deal of deception and fraud in order to manipulate the outcome of the vote. The likely result will be many national, state and local elections will be contested over allegations of voter fraud and attempts to repress the vote, especially in the Presidential election.

Since Mercury is retrograde, no matter what the outcome, we may find that election results are re-examined as the suspected wrongdoing is scrutinized. Look for demands of re-counts, bringing into question which candidate won. Remember: in the 2000 Bush-Gore contest, the winner of the popular vote was the loser. This is where we may see some surprising outcomes!

So... does Romney appear to be the winner on Election Day? Or... does Obama appear to be the winner? Or... is there a delay in officially declaring who the winner is?

As news shows and commentators present new revelations about the election and continue their probes, reporters expose voter irregularities, evidence of tampering, and proof of behind-the-scenes maneuvering by various groups. You will hear scores of conspiracy theories, with each political party accusing the other of trying to steal the election from "their" candidate.

It Looks Like The Winner Is...

At first, it appears that in a very close election, Mitt Romney has won the presidency. But because of evidence of attempts to repress minority voters through questionable enforcement of voter identification rules and other alleged dishonest practices, pro-Obama groups begin civil protests alleging that the election was not conducted fairly. They demand a recount and investigation. Tempers rise and reach a boiling point as public upset grows. The Supreme Court and Congress are asked to intervene.

Alternatively, the surprise could be just the opposite: Barack Obama is announced the winner with pro-Romney groups protesting and screaming "Foul!" over the same issues and making the same demands.

Regardless of who wins on election night, the other side may not accept the results. That could be the big surprise.

From mid-November, the planets Mars, Uranus and Pluto violently interact in a very dangerous and explosive way! During the following days, upsets intensify and the public is very angry and rebellious. There is widespread distress among voters because of fears and anxieties about the perceived unfairness of the election and its outcome.

Political leaders of both parties issue threats and ultimatums. Radical groups are up in arms. Democrats are angry over instances of voter suppression. Republicans, Tea Party loyalists and other right-wing groups are outraged, alleging voter fraud and incorrect counts based on their belief that many ineligible voters may have illegally casted their vote for Obama. Each group's protests become more organized, widespread and vocal, voicing their complaints about the election and its results. With Uranus in Aries you can expect people to challenge authority. This could be a tense period where civil order may need to be restored by policing authorities.

To make matters worse, these Mars, Uranus, Pluto planetary aspects often coincide with military tensions and threats. This is a time to be very vigilant of potential confrontations that may occur in "hot spots" such as in the Middle East between Israel and Iran. These tensions could cause a sudden spike in oil prices and a sharp decline in the stock market.

During this time of turmoil, everyone awaits clarity and assurance that the electoral process reflects the true will of the people. It is time for both sides to accept the duly elected President of the United States.

Upon Further Review, I Predict the Winner is...

After great scrutiny and examination, Barack Obama is ruled winner of the 2012 presidential election.

Once Mercury goes direct on November 26, we finally learn something that we didn't know before the election.

We'll have to wait and see if these are the surprises that occur in this presidential election or, if there are others? However, I believe this will be an election you will never forget where nothing goes as expected. Meanwhile, make sure to VOTE!

This was the craziest election and the most intense, and very glad it's over! there certainly has been what I see is a civil unrest with those who wish to succeed from USA. I say let them go, and mover whereever they want. Mexico would be a good place to start eh?

Obama is in the White House for 4 more years, and he is the right choice for America.

Iam now relaxed, and actually enjoying the sex scandal with the latest Pentagon's Elite folks aren't so bright. A spy master does not know g-mail accounts are traceable?

Well, Larry! You were correct, though the rest of the drama didn't quite unfold, or has it? While it did take some to get Florida counted, I was on pins and needles on election night. Now, the business of General Petraeus cpming to light makes it very interesting. I'm looking forward to reading your follow up to the election.
01:01 AM on 11/10/2012
Thanks for the acknowledgment on my prediction being correct. I think there is more to the drama yet to unfold. In the next week or so with NEPTUNE going Direct we may begin to learn more of what has been going on behind the scenes.

One of the events that has been going on behind the scenes has been Gen. Petraeus' affair, which has now been revealed. Too bad. He was a great asset to our country. But I am sorry that in this day and age -- based on Petraeus' great deeds that he could not be forgiven this mistake. It is a shame that we insist on perfection and never allow our leaders to make a human mistake. I wish OBAMA would have refused his resignation. Most of our leaders make plenty of mistakes. But they cover them up...because if those mistakes became public...they'd be fired.

Therefore, why not offer a 2nd chance to those who tell the truth.

Since this occurred during Mercury Retrograde...I wouldn't be surprised if we see more on this story

To those readers interested in Astrological interpretation...it's often hard to know the "degree" to which a Planetary cycle will manifest. We'll see to what "degree" the planets make their impact in the coming weeks.

I will have a follow-up article once Mercury goes Direct on Nov. 26th. Then, I can analyze what has occurred throughout this month based on the planetary activity.

Thanks, Larry. It will be interesting. I do agree that his resignation should have been re-considered, the fact that he allowed his biographer access to his emails is cause for concern.

Still, there's more to come. Conspiracy theorists will have a ball with this one. I choose not to buy into that.

Larry - Mercury Retrograde: Romney campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul told The Huffington Post in a statement, that Project ORCA would give the campaign an "enormous advantage on Election Day," but the app turned out to be a failure and cost Romney what could have been thousands of votes, according to The Verge.
08:15 AM on 11/07/2012
We will have to see if what surprises and drama lie ahead now that the Election is over.
But for now, as I predicted BARACK OBAMA won the Presidency!

And, also as I forecasted: Mitt ROMNEY from mid-October had a campaign that deteriorated going from gaffe to upset; Romney was called a liar by the Pres. of a Detroit car company for spreading a lie about cars being made in China; He had Hurricane Sandy upstaging him with an Obama looking Presidential and not petty; He had a Republican Gov. Christie publicly praising Obama for great leadership and assistance.

That was all part of what destroyed the momentum of Mitt Romney from mid-October on. Despite all the money his rich cronies spent in their Super Paks, he continued to lose momentum until his total candidacy sunk from the weight of it!

The will of the majority people spoke! The only question now is -- will the will of the minority
obstruct and sabotage as they did these past 4 years. If so, we will experience the revolution and shock that I have written about. Best, Larry

I'm so glad it's over Larry. Looks like the election went much smoother than I thought it would. my guess would be all of the attention on voter fraud, suppression and the republicans have clearly demonstrated bullying tactics to suit their own agendas. I am wondering what they will do now, but good news, House Republicans did lose some seats, and I think it was 16 but not enough to overturn the majority back to democrats. I think 2014 will see more of the GOP extremists get voted out.

what an election and glad it's over.. whew!
11:30 PM on 11/07/2012
Other than crazy talk by people like Donald Trump, it appears to have gone relatively smoothly. But a lot of what I wrote about is based on planetary influences that are hidden and based on deception. I agree with you that all the attention put on making sure the vote was "honest" may have interfered with attempts at mischief.

But I still believe that in the coming days we will learn about some of the dubious plans and attempts to manipulate the election.

I am hoping that traditional Republicans will take back control of their party from the "lunatic" fringe extremist element of the party. Unfortunately, many Tea Party politicians in the House still kept their seats. I am hoping that they will step into line but only if traditional Republicans pressure them.

My hope is that there will be a return to civility. Calling the President of the United States a "liar" at a State of the Union address tells you about the kind of "classless" people who are our representatives.

Look for upsets over the next 3 weeks. And, we will know something by the end of November that will be important -- that we don't know now. Thanks for reading my column.

Larry, you were ''right on'' more than the five or six other astrologers I read on the election. You said it was going to be a rocky 3 weeks for Romney but he didn't seem to realize it.

I look forward to your predictions for this re-election (Rx Mercury). The plutocratic trend in this country certainly ''reversed gears.'' I wonder if President Obama's ''resurrection'' will be permanent - or if in three weeks, when Mercury goes direct, it will mean another 4 years of a same-old/same-old gridlocked Congress.

For what it's worth - the President ''returned'' to Washington today (Nov 7) and stepped off Air Force One at 6:28 pm (EDT). I'm not an experienced astrologer - only a dabbler - but perhaps there is someone to whom this data would be helpful. Or maybe it's relatively meaningless information - with so many major configurations of outer planets that have played into this historic election and their influence over the next four years, or longer.
09:40 PM on 11/07/2012
Hi Novelene,
Thanks for the acknowledgment. All Astrologers can see the planetary aspects. The talent that separates Astrologers is their ability to "interpret" what their correct meaning.

It's important to be humble -- but I do feel like I have a good grasp on what's happening. That's why I said, that by mid-Month it would be "down-hill" for ROMNEY. After the great momentum of his 1st Debate performance he went down just as rapidly.

My article discusses several possibilities as to what might happen with Mercury Retrograde. I still think we'll see confusion and mis-information during the next 3 weeks. Then, by Mercury Direct on Nov. 26th we'll know the truth that we didn't know before.

By the way...I left out something important from my interpretation: NEPTUNE rules Drugs. It is in the sign of PISCES. For the 1st time we have 2 states, Colorado and Washington State voting to approve "recreation use." During the next 14 years while Neptune is in Pisces, I predict that all 50 states will allow both medical and recreational marijuana use. It will be treated and taxed like alcohol. Thanks for reading my column, Larry

I really want Obama to have another four years, I think he would be amazing without worrying about another election. I enjoyed your article, but I hope it will be a clear win for Obama . Living on Long Island with no electricity for over a week, my greatest pleasure will be to vote tomorrow . Many people around the area are complaining that a great deal of LIPA's efforts have gone into getting all the polling places ready to go. Obama kept many people from losing their homes in this area so it's a sacrifice I will gladly make.
08:54 PM on 11/04/2012
It makes me sick to my stomach to think of the chaos that we may have to endure. Thank you for another great article!
10:17 AM on 11/05/2012
Thanks for appreciating my articles. I really enjoy writing them. I share the same upset you refer to. I pray that it is not chaotic or contentious as well.

But the Astrology of tomorrow (and the month) does not support that optimistic view. And, neither does the ugly mood in the country. Never before, in recent history have two sides been so polarized from each other. In other elections people expressed their upsets and dislikes by walking into the voting booth and casting their vote. Today, it is expressed with a total lack of civility by extremists who have forgotten that Democracy, as founded by our forefathers, works because of "compromise." It doesn't work when the minority attempts to obstruct the majority. That only assures "grid-lock" and that nothing gets done. Is it any wonder that Congress' approval rating is at
9%!!!!!!!

We have powerful people, SUPER-PACs, lots of money to throw at political ads -- and those hell-bent on making sure that we do not have 4 more years of an Obama presidency. Desperate men, do desperate things. If only we could let the next President win on the "merits" of what he can bring to the Presidency. The coming revolution in our society over the next 3 years will help us get back to the days when we were kind and respectful to each other.

I still believe that the days ahead will be surprising and upsetting.

Best, Larry

Your article was exhausting to read but excellent. I certainly hope Obama wins and the polls are going his way. I am concerned about voter suppression and just heard that a number of absentee votes, like 80,000 are missing in Ohio. I'll be glad when this is over.
11:44 PM on 11/03/2012
Hi Caryn,
So sorry to exhaust you, but so happy you found my article excellent. I was exhausted myself -- writing it because it was so hard to figure what surprises we might be in store for based on a confusing array of planets.

And, it was harder to weave it into just a few likely scenarios. Although, regardless of what the Obama/drama is... I do believe that OBAMA will be victorious.

I've never in all my years seen a more contentious election. Even if OBAMA wins...he will have hell to pay with these extremists who are more concerned with venting hatred than finding a way to work together to solve our country's problems.

Thanks for reading my column. I hope the next one will be less exhausting for both of us :)
Best, Larry

I am no fan of astrology, sir, but I've become a fan of you. I've really come to look forward to your predictions. You seem to be an astute psychologist of the madness of crowds.
11:50 PM on 11/03/2012
Dear Sir,
I am so delighted that you've become a fan of mine. And, it makes no difference if you are a "fan" of Astrology.

Thank you for noticing the "psychologist" orientation that goes with many of my predictions and forecasts. I spent a few years studying to be a therapist and taking "psychology" courses, so, it comes in handy to find the right words to explain my predictions.

By the way...to you and all my Readers, I take pride in practicing the NEW Astrology. The "OLD" Astrology is meant to "teach" people Astrology. The NEW Astrology I practice -- is meant ONLY to tell you "what it means."

I will continue to do that in future articles.

Best, Regards,
Larry

In the next five days more info pro or con can surface re: Benghazi, Mitt's "renting" of the Mormon Church's tax exempt status for 10-15 years. Then there is the chaos Sandy has created and the question of whether there will even be polling places for those displaced to vote or will they even take the time to vote? Already the CIA is pushing back on the Fox 24/7 meme that Obama is engaged in a coverup on a bigger scale than Watergate. Drama every where and Mercury has not yet gone retrograde. We definitely live in interesting times.

Alternative:

Obama wins the popular vote, but loses based on electoral votes. Minorities decide that the election was "stolen" because Obama was black. Demands for recounts reveal isolated minor discrepancies, which the liberal press uses to fan the flames of racial unrest. Obama abandons his race neutral position, and blames his defeat on racism and prejudice. This leads to protests, demonstrations, parades, and isolated riots.

Over the remaining few months of his Presidency, Obama signs an astonishing number of administrative memos, (like the one he did for Dreamers), designed to circumvent Congress and force his vision of economic and social justice on America. The President who campaigned on the promise that he was not an insider team player, proves it with a series of "in-your-face" unilateral actions, that have clearly been pre-planned. (For example, granting pardons for all blacks on death row. Or declaring impoverished largely minority cities are disaster zones, and funneling in millions of dollars in federal relief funds.) Liberals are cheering Obama as a modern day Robin Hood hero, while conservatives are creating mass protests. The stock market falls, and our enemies in the Middle East take advantage of our national distraction.

Then Romney gets into office, and starts hard line moves to clean up the mess, which further polarizes the country.

Please explain how a President of the United States "grants pardons for all blacks on death row"? Do you know how many people are on death row in the federal system? The President can issue pardons only for federal convictions. Pardons for state convictions are the exclusive domain of the governors of the respective states.

Of course, if your post is a put-on, then "hahaha".

This is where I thought you might be going. I believe Obama will be declared the winner on the night of the election. Why? What we are experiencing is the pendulum swing moving towards the opposite end of the spectrum. A swing to the right caused an equal and opposite swing to the left. The law is the directing force while astrology is the actor's script. About 20 minutes ago before reading your column I posted a prediction that both Ohio and Florida will be recounted - with both going to Obama.
11:43 PM on 11/01/2012
You maybe right. But a lot can happen between today and Election night. There is likely to be more involved than who seems to be winning the night of the election. There should be some serious drama in the aftermath of the election. No one will be losing gracefully.
