This week - and today - election day, we have a heated set of planetary aspects. But, surprise, emotions are high on the campaign trail and Americans are looking for a fight, no matter what side of the ‘fence’ they are on. This has caused people to even attack ME for making Astrological predictions. sheesh!

Here on this blog, I have gotten slammed on a number of occasions simply for stating my Astrological perspective and making Astrological predictions. Ok, sure I have an opinion too. I’m human. Just for the sake of transparency here is where I am coming from:

1) My number 1 concern and care is for the environment and the planet. And I don’t just talk about it, I run a biodeisel car. I despise the oil companies and what is happening to our world because of pollution and greed. I put my money where my mouth is. I cannot in good conscience give my money to these oil criminals. Precious few people are really doing what matters and taking themselves off of the system that doesn’t work. For me, I believe this is the ONLY thing we CAN do. I don’t think politicians can save us.

2) I run a business, a company and I care deeply about how policy effects my ability to pay people! I am an extremely practical person. I only care about what WORKS. I knew 7 years ago that the mortgage system was being built to fail, and I said so in my columns (Oh yeah, people attacked me then too).

3) I grew up as the child of hippies, Aura is my real name for pete’s sake. So I know first hand what all the weaknesses of delusional, fairy tail, escapist thinking can be. I actually see the rational side to EVERY argument. And I don’t like politicians. None of them. I think our problems are bigger than this. I advocate individual change and responsibility.

4) I believe the best political activism is the activism that creates individual action and personal change and responsibility: plant a garden, get on bio-fuels, invest in wholistic self-sustaining systems (stay away from get rich quick schemes!), take care of your own health by eating healthy and doing regular intestinal cleanses, and exercise, work together with other people, be part of community, live with good values and treat people as you’d like to be treated.

Pretty simple really. Pretty common sense, but for some reason people who read my Astrology predictions think that I am a politico. I am not. I hate politicians (yes, all of them), I just state what I see. I often see things I don’t like, but I am prescient in a way that people need to hear, so I share it. I have even been accused of creating the things I see. Please people! I am merely a messenger.  All I want to do is laugh at how crazy this 3 ring circus has become:

Yeah. laughter really IS the best medicine. And here’s my most poignant Astrology prediction yet: We will all need our sense of humor to get through the things that are coming up, because the whole thing is completely INSANE. It doesn’t matter what side of the political warfare you find yourself on, a little kindness, a lot of humanity and deep servings of humor are going to be indispensables. That’s my Astrological story, and I’m sticking to it.
