It might be time to assess the GOP candidates as they debate on their way to winnowing down to the last few and then to the final one who will face off against Obama in November. Whoever they pick will lose, as I will explain at the end. Romney is the front-runner and represents much of what has gone wrong with capitalism, a term from which conservatives are now backing away, going instead with “economic freedom.” When Republicans don’t like a word, they coin a phrase which sounds better but is really the same old thing. Framing ideas is probably why they laud the framers of the constitution so much, except few of them have actually read or understood the document, nor do they wish to adhere to it. But Mitt is a hard product to sell to the majority of Americans, many of whom lost their jobs because of companies like Bain Capital that came to town to reorganize their company into oblivion. They will notice he’s not the compassionate kind of Pisces that Ted Kennedy was, though he does live without the alcohol that was the Bane of Teddy’s life. He sees people as commodities that can be leveraged and bought out as his history comes into the light and people are focused on it like a laser beam. Lack of consideration as well as opportunism is an effect of his Sag S Node in the 7^th house, the ruler of which (Jupiter) exactly conjoins the Moon in Scorpio just 8 degrees away from the S Node, bringing back old patterns of joking his way through an interview to avoid confrontational answers or unpopular ones. There is a correlation between his S Node placement and Venus in Aquarius square Chiron in Scorpio in the 6^th, as it has to do with the firing of so many people employed by the companies Bain bought out, gutted, stole the capital and infused with debt only to bankrupt them and sell off the pieces. Those effects also result from Venus opposite Saturn and Pluto in Leo for his profiting from the shriveling resources of his victims and Chiron’s square indicates the legacy from his father.

Duplicity and flip-flopping is the hallmark of his Gemini rising, ruled by Mercury retrograde in Pisces square Uranus, which is why he switches tracks like a junkie on speed, repeating patterns of behavior that exposes a chameleon. He invents answers for questions that are certain to be proven false and jumps around in his explanations of things to sound rather incoherent at times, mixing the past with the future and reality with imagination. He’s got some transits that could destroy his chance to become president as more truth about his past comes out, including a federal bailout for his company and the reason he was pro-choice. More importantly, his father, George, who was governor of Michigan, had also flip-flopped on an important issue of the day; Vietnam. After going over there, he decided to oppose the war, seeing as wrong, reversing his earlier views. Sound familiar, MItt? Saturn in the 3^rd and Aquarius MC with Uranus in Gemini allow for multiple views, subject to change as new information is considered. He’ll be up in May when transit Jupiter hits his progressed Sun and Mercury but will collapse by August when the S Node transits his ASC. Even if he becomes the nominee, he won’t do too well as Jupiter retrogrades away from Uranus before it conjoins so he never gets the full support of the media and Election Day has the Moon in Leo on Obama’s Sun with the N Node on his MC, so it is his destiny to get re-elected.
