Planet Waves FM: That Strange Thing About U.S. Elections

The strange thing about U.S. elections is that the loser can take office. And that’s what we’re now witnessing. The last time, in 2000, things didn’t go well. People were jumping off the World Trade Center just 10 months later (to escape before the towers fell). In tonight’s edition of Planet Waves FM [play episode here], Eric looks at some of this history, and evaluates what we might have in store under a Trump presidency.

If Your Birthday is Nov. 16
(The Day of the Boss) | Get Your Scorpio Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Take initiative today. With mind and energy working in harmony, you can make real progress with opportunities that arise; the closer they align with your ideals, the better. If you find yourself needing to take a stand in a social situation, do so with respect and you’ll more likely be accorded the same. You can have confidence in your ideas, and use that positive energy to foster the cooperation of those around you.

Written in the Planets
As Jupiter in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn approach a square to each other (exact next week), you might want to begin noticing any ambitions to achieve, rebuild or improve. That impulse could apply to yourself or your surroundings, to your close relationships or to something larger and even more complex — such as government or institutionalized policies and procedures. It’s key to check your facts (and any applicable laws), and keep your idealism from clouding your practical, everyday ethics. You can expect to encounter resistance, whether from those with power, from those around you or from your own ambivalence toward change. You can use this energy to constructive ends if you can keep it balanced and responsive (obsession will work against you), and if you can resist any urge to ‘fix’ your friends. Look to your own enlightenment first.
