The stars are never wrong ... just the interpretations vary

What can I say....

Indian Astrology strikes again

The power of astrology at it's finest.

“Saturn, which is the lord of health and fortune for President Bush, has been eclipsed by the Sun, which is unfortunate and gives him a clear defeat,” Lachhman Das Madan, editor of a popular astrology magazine, told Reuters.

“Kerry will win,” said Madan, who is also known as “the emperor of astrologers.” “It is cosmic writ that George W. Bush cannot become president of United States again.”

The emperor has no clothes, perhaps?

Ajai Bhambi, a senior astrologer and author of several books on the science of predictions, agreed.

“Kerry is likely to beat Bush in the final verdict,” he told the New Indian Express newspaper.

Hmm ... author of books on the science of predictions. Obviously worth reading.

But Dubya needs to tread carefully ....

Bejan Daruwalla, another top astrologer, told Reuters he had yet to calculate who would win Tuesday’s election. But Bush, even if he won, would not be allowed by his planets to complete a full term, he said.

Actually, I think that last line is a misquote - it's supposed to read "But Bush, even if he won, would not be allowed by his parents to complete a full term,"

I also had a recent brush with astrology. A coleague of mine is a believer, and I share the same sign as his wife. Recently, his astrologer told him "the stars have aligned for a lottery victory for your wife." So we bought tickets for his wife, myself, and my wife. We all lost. No mention of this little setback yet....
Is it just me, or are all of these mediums, astrologers, etc. looking as dull, boring, and predictable as the nigerian bank scam emails that are still going around? Yawn.
