That question is, why weren’t all elections in the same area (with arguably the same ingress charts) landslides on single issues?<BR/><BR/>The answer is actually quite simple.<BR/><BR/>I could identify the players easily in the Ypsilanti election because I am very familiar with the politics of the city. The strength of Jupiter is in the grass-roots area of the chart could actually have gone either way, with an insightful leader currying favor with both the grass roots and the opposition to make the best out of a bad season. Due to the nature of Ypsi politics at the moment, that couldn’t and wouldn’t happen. Both sides were hammering the grass roots to the point of distraction, but there could be no deal struck between the warring parties. <BR/><BR/>With such a clear binary choice, the election goes to the stronger planet. The mayor, ruled by Mercury with some dignity in the second house, is no match for the opposition ruled by Jupiter in its own domicile in the fourth.<BR/><BR/>With the MC ruler directed (by an obscure method) to the 8th, I expect most mayors and other leaders in the district were weakened by this election. I expect that those who had real success conceded a lot of ground to stay on top.<BR/><BR/>Had I been predicting for a different unit of government in the area, I would need to know a lot more or about the players and do a lot more real analysis to work out a viable result on any issue. The starting point, however, would be a strong opposition and a weakened leadership.Rodney Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06702171113958426125noreply@blogger.com
