We'll need a new generation of Bernie types to rise up and get involved, assuming this is still allowed. It will take a while, and it's not clear they have it in them.
I don't see too many leaders around now either. People would do well to pay attention to their horoscope scores. I mean that sincerely.
Look at this:
(the scores are like a win-loss, favorable to unfavorable percentage)
Bill Clinton 21-2 J (J=Jupiter rising, a big plus)
Barack Obama 19-2
Bernie Sanders 14-7
as opposed to:
Michael Dukakis, 2-12
Al Gore 10-8
John Kerry 8-13
Hillary R. Clinton 9-11 J (probably Jupiter rising, but birth chart not confirmed)
Elizabeth Warren, sorry to say, only 8-7
Tim Kaine, 11-11
Joe and Julian Castro, 7-12
Michelle Obama, 7-6
We'd better make sure we have a good candidate, is all I'm saying. The horoscope scores are just a clue I'm giving you to the general idea, that a candidate has to be able to appeal to the American people. If you have an intuitive feeling that someone is or is not up to the challenge, that's probably reflected in the aspects in their horoscope. Unfortunately, Warren is too whiny and fighting all the time. The charismatic demagogue Donald Trump has a positive score; right now I have it at 9-4. We'll need someone better, if Trump is able and willing to run again, in order to beat him. Fortunately, if Mike Pence takes over, he's only 8-9.
We may have to settle for someone who compromises with the elite, IF they are really appealing, like Bill Clinton or Barack Obama are. Or else, go for the real thing, again IF and only if they have the ability to pull it off.
Let's see who we've got.
On the more compromising side, Gov. Terry McAuliffe has some real ability. He's a Clinton type, but he may have some of the stuff that Bill had, because his score is 12-2, and only got better with my latest count.
Other more-moderate choices that might do OK:
Gavin Newsom, 8-2 (much better count than I had for him before), if he wins the CA governorship. But he'd have a Saturn Return to watch out for in 2024, since he was born in 1966. So maybe not so good for the longer term. He has that great 1966 conjunction of Uranus and Pluto rising in his chart too. He can be hot stuff. And his main thrust in politics has been pretty progressive, but more focused on issues that interest CA rather than the Rust Belt, perhaps.
Antonio Villaraigosa, 15-6; an alternative if he wins the CA governorship instead of Newsom. Former LA mayor instead of former SF mayor.
Andrew Cuomo, current governor of NY. 11-6; pretty good, might do OK against Pence, but probably not against Trump.
Janet Napolitano, 13-5. A good calming presence; much experience. Hasn't made much noise about running.
Jason Carter, grandson of Jimmy, 9-3. Maybe a possibility for the future.
Tom Vilsack, 15-6. I've not been happy with him before, but he might be OK.
Less compromising choices that might challenge the elite:
Sherrod Brown, 20-8. I would recommend him, although a challenge to Trump would be hard for him to win according to the score numbers alone, running against a favored incumbent. But he might carry the Rust Belt, so that would be good strategy. And those 20 positive points put him in good stead. He's even improved his score a little in my latest count. I'd say, let's hope he runs.
Tammy Baldwin, WI lesbian senator, 13-6, with Saturn Return coming; therefore not recommended in my opinion, but she might try.
TV comic Seth Meyers, 21-5. Might be a real challenge to Trump if he decides to take him on.
Another media personality with some chance: Michael Moore, 16-7
If these guys don't work out, I don't see others on the horizon right now, and we might have to wait until some younger leaders emerge. And of course you're right that it will take new leaders in congress and statehouses to rise up as well.
