The Cosmically Stressed Election of 2008
by Barry C. Orr
Obama-McCainElection Day 2008 is marked by a planetary combination symbolizing the angst-generating tension between stasis and change.

Every four years, the global community of astrologers does its best to predict the outcome of the U.S. presidential election. Given that astrology can be as much a mantic art as it is a science, and that astrologers are as subject to political prejudices as anyone else, the results are sometimes mixed. However, often the most interesting information gleaned from an astrological analysis of an election is not who will win, but a description of conditions surrounding the winning.

For example, in 2000, a number of astrologers clearly foresaw the uncertainty and "irregularities" surrounding the electoral process.
