It really feels strange today

As disgusted as i am about the results of last night's manipulated elections, i still feel strangely calm... i have been feeling calm about it all fall, although i thought my calmness meant that the democrats would win, against all predictions.

Even when my astrodice said that the repugs would do well, i thought maybe i was misinterpreting them and still felt good...

When i looked at the aspects for yesterday and saw the moon in aries conjunct uranus, i was sure there was going to be an upset that would benefit us, that the mood of the people would be for positive change and to get rid of the roadblocks that the repugs keep putting in the way...guess not...they are angry and want change and blame Obama and the dems...not informed enough to have the facts!

The only good thing that can come out of this is that the repugs will finally show themselves for the evil reptiles that they are and that the democratic leadership will FINALLY come out of their coma and see that what they keep doing isn't working...or else they really are selling us all out and we are truly doomed as a country...

i wanted so badly to stay alive to see what would happen after 12/21/12...so far it hasn't been the utopian breakthrough i had been hoping for lol...

Is more what we need than anything.

The only way to register dissatisfaction in our current system is to vote for the other party. Well, what if the other party is a train wreck? Because most people are so uninformed, they'll vote the train wreck.

Until the Republican Party totally dissolves in a pile of corruption.
Neptune Return in their chart.
Count on it.
They're eating their young.
