Full disclosure, I’m not a Republican. I don’t want to define myself in our dualistic party system, but if forced against the wall by my literal countrymen, I can’t claim to be Republican.

Regardless, as a liberal I will offer the Republican Party some advice, free of my usual $50,000 consulting fee. They are clearly having trouble deciding on a presidential candidate. My observation is that the Republican Party is okay with a candidate who speaks the platform even if said person may not fully understand what he/she is saying.

That’s not my value, but I kept it in mind as I looked through some options. I scanned the potential candidates quickly because, as I’ve mentioned, I’m offering my services for free and a full astrological profile of all potential candidates takes precious time away from this blog.

The Ohio Astrology Pick for Republican Presidential Nominee is John Cornyn.

Cornyn is currently a senator from Texas. Texas is the land where Republicans plot and plan, so this is a perfect state from which to pick a candidate.

Yes, I know Rick Perry, Governor of Texas, is running. All Cornyn needs to do is promise the coveted new “Veterinarian General” position to Perry and move to the next space on the playing board.

Cornyn has sun in Aquarius and moon in Taurus. You got it, fixed signs. Republicans should not forget that the man they call the Great Communicator, Ronald Reagan, had sun in Aquarius and moon in Taurus. Cornyn, like Reagan, can appear calm and collected in the most trying of circumstances.

Aquarius is a fixed air sign known for commitment to groups and ideals. Taurus the fixed earth sign is known for practicality, stubbornness and materialism. The signs combined are a stubborn commitment to ideals.

Venus in Capricorn means Cornyn choses his closest companions carefully. He is discreet.

Pluto in Leo opposes sun. My own “mark of a politician” involves Pluto in square to sun or moon. A Pluto opposition also indicates that Cornyn seeks the power of control which seems to drive those that run for political office. In other words, he’s controlling enough for the job. Mucho controlling enough.

Neptune conjunct Saturn in Libra means that close relationships are not so good. That’s okay because who has time for romance when they are running for president? Also, Aquarius likes groups, but not group hugs. Cornyn is an emotionally detached crusader who won’t let one crying hockey mom change his ultimate aim.

Mars in Scorpio, the fixed water sign, shows great determination. Do not cross this man; he will get you back. He may do it in an Aquarian, aloof manner, such as changing the law so that your mangy dog must now face euthanasia.

Next November Cornyn will be undergoing some aspects that suggest even if he isn’t president, whatever political changes occur will have great effect on him.

Saturn will be transiting Scorpio, conjunct that Mars. This is a time for revenge of some situation that may have happened up to two years ago. It may occur to Cornyn rather than from Cornyn. There may be a Hatfield & McCoy situation going on in his life with a lot of tits for tats.

Pluto will be transiting Capricorn, conjunct that Venus. This indicates some powerful new friends.

Uranus transiting Aries will be coming closer to Cornyn’s natal Jupiter in Aries suggesting more prominent position in life.

Cornyn, or someone like him, seems a better pick for candidate than what the Republicans are panning in the river of Republicans. It’s not gold, that’s for sure.

I’m off. I now need to find Cornyn a running mate.
