NPR: Primary Horoscopes

Primary Horoscopes

Filed under: Election 2008

By now we've heard all the pundits, parsed the exit poll numbers, blamed the media for getting it wrong and looked at Hillary Clinton's campaign strategy for clues to her success in the primaries yesterday.

But did anybody check the candidates' horoscopes?

My horoscope page of choice, in the New York Post, was amazingly spot-on for the candidates yesterday.

Hillary Clinton was born on October 26th. Hello, Scorpio!:

March 4, 2008 -- If life has been getting on top of you lately you will get the chance to reverse the process over the next 24 hours. Forget about making excuses. Forget about blaming others for your failures. You are, or should be, the master of your fate, so get out there and make things happen. It's easy when you try.

Barak Obama was born August 4th. Hello, Leo!:

March 4, 2008 -- There will be a lot of minor distractions over the next 24 hours and, not surprisingly, you will get rather frustrated at how slowly you are moving towards your goal. You have got to be aggressive about your private time. You have got to let others know you need your space - and peace and quiet to go with it.

The Republicans after the jump:

John McCain, born August 29th, is a Virgo, as is the man who just conceded the nomination to him, Mike Huckabee, born August 24th:

March 4, 2008 -- Now that Mars is moving through the area of your chart that governs friendships and group activities you will need to work more closely with others. It won't always be easy - some people seem to delight in rubbing you up the wrong way - but it can be done and it must be done if you are going to prosper.

By the way, today's horoscopes? Not so useful. But I only pay attention to them selectively anyway.
