The Commissar has two posts that note Jerome Armstrong’s rather amusing links with astrology and other forms of New Age mysticism. Given the Left’s histrionics about the “Right’s War on Science” I have to admit this is indeed rather amusing.

Jerome Armstrong

Mark Warner (D) vs. Mark Earley (R)

10-18-01
A couple notes on Mark Warner Saj Sun: 1) he will have a solar eclipse natal Sun conjunction on Dec 14th of this year; also being conjuncted by Chiron; and Pluto coming into a long progressed conjuct/trine natal(similar to Daschle’s), so he’s got some LT power moves showing starting soon!
He’s got a natal near exact Venus/Saturn in Scorpio conjunction, so he’s got dedicated supporters for his Democratic brand of compassionate conservatism politics. His current transit of progressed Venus conjunct his Sun in Saj, and transiting Saturn oppostite this from Gemini coming on over the next year, bode well, transforming the Democratic leadership in Virginia(perhaps meaning national prominence for him as well).

Warner looks to me like he’s on the verge of winning. I don’t see anything negative. Latest polls have him up 10% Bush will be returning around the 22nd or so, Earley is going to need Bush’s pulling… but I think something on a larger scale is about to break here, that could change the outcome.

We’ll see, if nothing changes over the next 10 days, I think that Earley’s natal Jupiter (that’s being transited by Jupiter), is being dragged down by his south node there as well.

Oooohhh, a “near exact Venus/Saturn in Scorpio conjunction”. I’m impressed.

  1. With the left’s track record in picking candidates, how can you argue with the science behind their means. You are just one of those right wing bigots who ignores the scientific truths behind the political impact of having a near exact Venus/Saturn in Scorpio conjunction.

    Most of the people snickering about astrology over at RedState believe in virgin births, talking snakes, walking on water, and an improbable creation theory. One wonders if they are prepared to abandon their, shall we say, unscientific beliefs before throwing stones at Armstrong. This, at least, would be consistent with the beam/mote principle.

    You haven’t been reading many of my posts have you jwb?

    That’s why I said Redstate, not OTB. That’s also why I read this blog every day and Redstate only weekly.

    There doesn’t seem to be a Steve Verdon user over at RS.

    Hmmm… I wonder how this compares to the Reagans’ famous interest in the supernatural…

  6. Anderson says:

    Hm. There should be a law requiring anyone who believes in astrology to disclose that fact before being hired as any kind of consultant.

    Ahh, my mistake then. I thought you were lumping me in with the people at Red State. Nevermind then.

    It compares via the fact that people of all stipes will glomb onto some belief system that makes them feel comfortable. At least, that is how the athiests would explain it.

    Criticize Mullah Moulitsas and his Moonbat Jihad, and you’re a “Lieberman-worshipping neocon.” … Did some infidel say “Lieberman”? Here’s the latest fund-raising e-mail from MoveOn.org (a/k/a LoseOn.org) ….
