Brian Kemp (R-GA): Scorpio and an Eclipse in Cancer
by Jude Cowell
On the Wikipedia page of Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, we find that he was born on November 2, 1963 in Athens, Georgia (my hometown: sorry!), but the main reason Mr. Kemp is mentioned today on SO’W is because he’s chomping at the bit to rise even higher from state to national politics.

How Republicans Conspire with Churches for Political & Social Control – Thom Hartmann

Wednesday October 12, 2022
Here’s a segment from Tuesday’s Thom Hartmann broadcast that touches on the realms of politics, religion as theocracy, government, and societal conditions – all of which the Republican Party wants complete control over even though a majority of Americans disagree. ‘Consent of the governed’ has no place in their future plans for America.

1854 (party founded) + 164 years (Neptune’s orbit) = 2018
Naturally as a novice astrologer, Thom’s question causes me to think back to recent times when the Republican Party experienced its first-ever

Can Dems Get a Handle on Crime? – Thom Hartmann

Here’s a segment from Thom Hartmann posted September 21, 2021. Thom says that Republicans are already "licking their chops" over crime rates going way up this year after rates were down last year when everyone was safely snugged inside.
