Astrologers predict a Hillary Clinton victory is in the stars – LA Times
How do you judge an election that’s fallen far from the realm of predictability?

Misinterpreting eclipses or the unknown time of birth of Hillary Clinton may have caused false predictions but of course adversaries of the old art are waiting in line to criticise yet another failed attempt of astrologers to clear their name. Astrologers bring it on themselves to be not taken seriously. They felt so sure of themselves and of Hillary that they dared to come out in the open with what you would call “hinein” interpretations. In predicting election results so boldly and openly they had become part of the election process, which in itself devaluates anything they say. Astrology is not something to show off with or make money from. Only the upright person who will gain nothing by being right or wrong can make mundane predictions. The only other way is the Nostradamus way, namely using obscure language that can only be interpreted after the facts become known. So how would Nostradamus have put together his quatrains on this historic victory of Trump.

• The rooster has become chicken (rooster as symbol for France, Hollandes position, fear of attacks)
  The Europeans will have their values stricken (Jupiter in Libra opposition uranus in Aries)
  An Island sets alone its course (Uranus on Ascendant, Neptune in XII, horoscope of England)
  In the new world prevails an olden force (the voice of isolationism)
• The Eastern tyrants rule with fear (Russia and China still have oppressive governments)
  A master of deceit draws near (growing fake information)
  The one that leaves a tower for a hill (from Trump Tower to Capitol Hill)
  Will shape the masses to his Will (Lets see what happens!)

Now this is just an example also showing not all information comes from astrology alone. The reason why astrology fails in predicting these events is simple. The world of exact facts is not that easily found in a horoscope. There to be found is the soul, the very heart of things and tendencies most certainly. If I had the gift of prediction I might use the horoscope to get images more clear then they already are. Astrologers interpreting what they already think they know is dumb practice. Astrologers should recognize these limitations and not make a fool of themselves.
