LILITH IN CAPRICORN SAYS, THE BUCK STOPS HERE! MYSTIC RECTANGLE PROMISES CHANGE! LEO MARS & MOON SQUARING MERC RETRO IN SCORPIO PISSES OFF CHEETO!OH, LORDY, THERE IS HOPE TO BE HAD FOR BIG CHANGE! 

The week begins with boundary-setter Lilith in practical Capricorn saying, “NOPE, NOPE, NOPE.” Don’t we just love her? Mars & the Moon join together in Leo at the beginning of the week, and that can create an angry tyrant or a lovable Superman-type figure being extremely demonstrative! You know, that’s the choice we have, folks. Wreck the world or save it! That’s why the leaders we pick and the way that they express their own planets is so important! 

With Mercury retrograde in Scorpio, that’s a double jeopardy! Scorpio is passionate—your choice—good passionate or vindictive passionate. Scorpio already has secrets. Mercury retrograde will try to bury them deeper, but since Merc Retro acts in reversal, any funny business could rear its ugly head—much like the Alaska-Dan Sullivan double fiasco. Then, Mercury is squaring Mars & Moon in Leo, so there may be some ketchup on the wall post-election. Admin Assistants, have your paper towels at the ready!

That Leonine duo will also chum up to Jupiter in Leo on Tuesday as Moon straddles Leo & Virgo, and Virgo is about details, details. People will not only be picking on Tuesday, but they will be picky. So KNOW WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE DENIED YOUR BALLOT, Y’ALL! Have your paperwork with you!

Generally, voters have the right to: 

· Vote if they are still in line when the polls close.

· Ask for another ballot if they make a mistake.

· Ask for a provisional ballot if they are not on the voter list at their polling location.

· Ask for language assistance from a poll worker if they need help reading or understanding how to vote.

· Not be intimidated or harassed while voting. 

REMEMBER, MERCURY IS RETROGRADE DURING THE ELECTION, SO BE FIRM. DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING. IF YOU VOTE WITH A COMPUTER, WATCH FOR FUNNY BUSINESS! ASK FOR HELP, IF NECESSARY! GET NAMES AND NUMBERS, IN CASE YOU NEED TO REPORT FUNNY BUSINESS OR VOTER DENIAL.

Mercury Retrograde is also close to the Sun that day. That is called Mercury Retro being COMBUST, burned up! It makes a planet WEAKER. So, check, double-check, and know your rights. Mercury is communication, so weak communicating is what we can expect.

All this Leo stuff is opposing the North Node in Aquarius, which is all about the PEOPLE’S RIGHTS—and technology. The North Node is in the people’s favor. The South Node weakens. Being in Leo, along with Mars and Jupiter, this COULD weaken the leaders in charge. I hope so! Scorpio (the Sun & Merc Retro) square the Leo stuff. This makes the whole process challenging. Why? These are fixed signs. They are stubborn. They each want things their way. That creates pressure-cooker energy, and with Jupiter there, something is bound to blow. I just hope someone is hiding the nuclear codes! Por favor!!

The Mystic Rectangle holds all week. What is a mystic rectangle? It has 2 trines and 2 sextiles—which are “easy” aspects, but it also includes 2 oppositions. Oppositions in and of themselves aren’t always bad. They can offer up battle opportunities—OR balancing opportunities. Remember how opposites attract? My ex was an opposition sign to my Sun. This is common. Why? Because they create balance. One has what the other doesn’t. But of course, they can also make for arguments or challenges. In the Mystic Rectangle for election week, we have Mars/Jupiter/North Node in Leo in easy aspect to Chiron & Eris in Aries. What’s that? The leaders feeling AND creating a little bit of hurt and a little bit of chaos. Remember, aspects in the same element work well together, and that’s what is happening here. Venus Retrograde in Libra is trine the North Node in Aquarius. So Venus is working WITH the people. Revolution. Question is, which trine will be stronger? The lesser sextiles connect ALL these points. The challenges are: weakened leaders against the people and technology. AND Venus Retro in Libra (her ruling sign but backward—wah!) opposing Aries Chiron and troublemaker Eris. Libra can be relationships, partnerships, OR the law. But with that retrograde, the question is, will the rule of law hold for this election? 

What all of us astrologers know is that, where retrogrades are concerned, the answer will be NO, THEY DON'T HOLD. The election will be messed up. The rule of law may NOT hold. We will get an answer in January, as Venus moves forward into Sagittarius on January 7th, and the election results get certified—OR NOT. Sagittarius is Jupiter and releases things. That's why Jupiter can get you fired or divorced! Shall we cross our fingers? That’s about all we’ve got!

No matter what, the many retrogrades that we have right now (8 celestial bodies plus the two nodes) promise that we will not know what we have until mid-April at the earliest—and I say that because Jupiter goes retrograde in December and Mars goes retro on January 9th, so there’s going to be a whole lot of mud to slog through before we can get a clear picture of who really won in these elections. 

Get out your rubber boots, y’all! And pack your patience!
