It's in the "stars" (predicting by astrology and other means)

What's wrong with it?

He said that the incumbent party in power wins when Venus is in Libra, and loses when Venus is in Sagittarius, but talked about exceptions that might apply in 2016. He listed 1932 and 1980 as exceptions.

But there are more exceptions than that: 1944, 1936, 1928 the challenging party did not win as the pattern predicts. Nor in 1912, 1904, etc. The fortunes would have to shift every 8 years for the Venus pattern to hold. This has been a recent pattern (with Carter not being able to keep his party in power being the exception) since the 1940s, but not before then. Generally though, this pattern since 1948 favors Trump anyway; not Hillary.

As I see it, when one party attains a degree of dominance, it can stay in power more than 8 years at a time. That was the case in the years after the previous 2 4Ts when the party that took us through the crisis stayed in power. There is good reason to believe that the current course which the Republican Party is on, dooms it to fail as we go through and beyond this 4T too, in which its ideas are contrary to the needs of the time, and to the demographic patterns that impact it.

Your astrology says that Hillary Clinton will win despite not having as strong a horoscope score as Donald Trump. Doesn't it?

yes indeed........
