It’s time Herman Cain, Republican Presidential Candidate, learn a little astrology.

This month, Mercury and Venus entered the sign of Sagittarius. For Sagittarian sun Cain, that is good news. If his mouth had to be fueled manually, you might say Mercury and Venus were bringing a batch of coal for the fire.

That’s the good news. Now for the bad, which Cain has probably already noticed, although not in astrological form.

Mars will enter Virgo this Saturday. Remember, Cain, when you rose in the polls and felt like a million bucks? That was during your Mars return. Your natal Mars is in Leo which trines your sun and says that you generally feel good about yourself and take actions that enhance your confidence (believe it or not, not everyone does this). Mars transiting Leo added energy to this already energetic aspect.

Mars in Virgo, on the other hand, squares Sagittarius. Mars in Virgo will cramp your style, even more than today.

Pretty soon (mid-December) Mars will create a T-square with your expressive, impulsive Sagittarian sun and erratic, unpredictable Uranus in Gemini.

I will sum it up simply – time to talk DETAILS.

If you want to pass this test, Mr. Cain, you’re going to have to cough up factoids that appear to be details. You are going to have to talk in specifics, not generalities.

Whether your moon is in Pisces or Aries, this Mars will then oppose that moon. You will be seeing more emotional reactions from those around you, especially women.

Also, Saturn in Libra is conjunct your natal Jupiter in Libra. Usually you get along with people, right? They may need a little time to get used to you, but generally like you and find you attractive, right? What’s going on?

What’s Going On?

Astrologically Mars is creating friction. In politics, this means that you have to accept that not everyone will like you. Sagittarius deep down does want to get along with everybody.

What’s the solution?

Politically and astrologically I would suggest determining your story, all the facts, and repeat endlessly. No changes, no outbursts.

This aspect is challenging your Sagittarius sun to walk the talk, as it’s said. Sagittarius talks and has lofty ideals, but often fails at its own rules. Luckily Sagittarius isn’t judgmental of itself or others. However, others will take to you to the cross for saying you don’t like tomatoes then putting ketchup on your hamburger.

Get it?
