Poll Dancing

Do you follow these political polls that supposedly tell us who's ahead and who's falling behind as the November election draws near? 
It's so absurd. I mean, first of all, what's this about "Undecided"? Who's undecided? I don't know anyone who hasn't always known exactly which side they were going to vote for. Indeed, it would be fabulous if there really were a huge percentage of Undecided Voters. Ideally 99.9 percent of the country should be Undecided right up until the debates! Then everyone would listen with an open mind and only then choose which candidate to vote for. Unfortunately that's not the way it is. We've become so closed minded we can't even bare to hear what the other side has to say. I was talking to a friend the other day who is a brilliant astrologer and who teaches yoga at the local college. A real "spiritual type", right? I mentioned what a kick I had gotten out of Clint Eastwood's appearance at the Republican Convention. As I knew she hadn't seen it I urged her to look it up on Youtube. Her response was so depressing - she wasn't interested, didn't want to see it, she just knew she would find it "negative" and on and on. I usually vote to the left myself but this refusal to even listen to what the other person has to say is bigotry no matter which side you're on.

I really do feel the big challenge/opportunity upon us in this fall is going to be all about developing the ability to listen to differing opinions without getting angry and without dropping out. Jupiter is in Gemini now giving us a gazillion sound bites competing for our attention, Mars will be moving into Sagittarius in the weeks running up to the election and thus opposing Jupiter suggesting that every idea will trigger an opposite opinion - and probably an angry one! If that isn't stressful enough, Venus will be going into Virgo in October squaring both these planets resulting in a tendency to nit pick and criticize. How should we deal with it? Hopefully not by refusing to participate at all. Mercury will be turning retrograde on Nov. 6, Election Day - that could discourage people from thinking their vote even counts. So whatever you do, don't let all the political chatter keep you away from the polls!

Meanwhile a few comments on how to take advantage of the opportunities coming up this week:
It's a waning moon, traditionally a time for completions rather than beginnings. With the sun in Virgo to help bring your work to perfection you may be delighted at how many chores can get checked off your Mop Bucket List by the New Moon Saturday September 15. The Sabian Symbol for this moon will be Mary and Her White Lamb, a delightful image of innocence and purity and a wonderful omen for friendship, kindness and the bonds between pets and their owners. Hmm..perhaps also a warning that if we're gonna be sheep, at least let's find someone worth following.

Laugh and Play!
