Mr(s). President, what's your sign?

First of all, let me preface this by saying that I believe in astrology. To what extent I do is still up for consideration.

As a Cancer, for instance, I always get along famously with Scorpios. Other Cancers posess some of the qualities I don’t like about myself, so it’s sometimes a strained relationship.

Cancers are often called the Jewish mothers of the zodiac—and I do have that nurturing instinct, though I have no children.

But here’s a bigger issue:
What if you charted all the candidates and decided, astrologically speaking, who would be the best “fit” for the country? (USA: Cancer, July 4—just like me).

Nancy Reagan, for one, consulted with astrologers on behalf of her husband---in terms of best time to travel. Decisions of state, etc. Hitler used astrology to forsee his reign as predestined, reveling in the predictions of Nostradamus. It worked for awhile for both of them, so who am I to scoff?

I tend to think a Scorpio—like maybe Hillary—would make an exemplary president. If she were in her husband’s shoes during impeachment hearings, surely she would have calmly admitted her mistake, announced that she and her spouse were working it through, expressed the proper regret—and move on.

More to come…
