I read today in the “Columbus Dispatch” that John Kasich “rips the nursing home lobby.” Not criticize, but “rip.” Well, at least he didn’t call anyone an idiot.

Kasich’s natal Mercury is in Aries which indicates his speech is always somewhat aggressive and warlike. For the past month, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus have all been in Aries triggering an abundance of energy onto this volatile communication style.

I bet he vows every night to tone it down (his sun & moon are in earth signs, so he does want to play by the rules). I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets upset with himself for letting his aggressive thoughts come out of his mouth. I have this problem too, so I sympathize.

The good news is that May 12 – May 16 Mercury, Venus and Mars will all be moving into Taurus. Then Jupiter will move into Taurus on June 5.

So maybe Kasich will get laryngitis.

Taurus does rule the throat so it is possible that something will occur in the throat area. While the planets transiting don’t indicate illness, maybe he will get a sore throat or some other head cold that will have him swallowing cough drops and a few unspoken words.

Or maybe he will feel calmer and have more control over what he wants to say versus what he actually does say.  Taurus naturally is calm, steady and methodical. His sun will be in more control than his Mercury now.

These planets in Taurus will not only improve his communication style, but also give him physical energy to release the Arian mental energy he’s been dealing with for the last month. Possibly Kasich will vent some frustration at the gym instead of at the podium.

I also predict that Kasich will get a nice haircut at the beginning of June when Venus is directly on his sun. It’s a good astrological time for a photo op.

The good news is Kasich’s volatile outbursts will diminish. That’s good astrologically and politically because I think Kasich’s message is getting lost in the manner in which he delivers it.

However, Uranus is still traveling slowly through Aries so he will still have sudden outbursts, just not as frequently. Or maybe he will use the clever, unusual manner of Uranus and find a new way to communicate that reaches people without making them angry in response.
