| Presidential
Candidates
Natal Midpoint Interpretations
|
There
is a tremendous amount of astrological data available fueling the
discussion of the three remaining presidential candidates. Midpoint
interpretations can provide pertinent additional information that we might
not otherwise be aware of.
For
the purposes of this article, I've chosen to focus on three specific areas
that I consider to be most important.** The following table
interprets specific midpoint measurements that may help us to better
understand the candidates and gain insight into their inherent strengths
and challenges.
I
have attempted to maintain strict objectivity in this analysis. Interpretations
are taken verbatim from my Midpoints
book without the addition of any editorial comments.
