The Planets Have Made Up
Their Mind: Kerry Wins
10-30-4
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Surveys in the United States may be showing
the race for president as too close to call but top Indian astrologers say
the planets have clearly made up their mind: John Kerry will win.
Planets governing President Bush are eclipsed and in an
uncomfortable position, making his tenure controversial and his
re-election bid unsuccessful, the soothsayers said on Friday, four days
before the vote.
On the other hand, the planets of Democratic challenger Senator
John Kerry were in the ascendant, ensuring him success in competitions.
"Saturn, which is the lord of health and fortune for President
Bush, has been eclipsed by the Sun, which is unfortunate and gives him a
clear defeat," Lachhman Das Madan, editor of a popular astrology magazine,
told Reuters.
"Kerry will win," said Madan, who is also known as "the emperor of
astrologers." "It is cosmic writ that George W. Bush cannot become
president of United States again."
Ajai Bhambi, a senior astrologer and author of several books on
the science of predictions, agreed.
"Kerry is likely to beat Bush in the final verdict," he told the
New Indian Express newspaper.
Bejan Daruwalla, another top astrologer, told Reuters he had yet
to calculate who would win Tuesday's election. But Bush, even if he won,
would not be allowed by his planets to complete a full term, he said.
Astrology is extremely popular in India and many top politicians,
businessmen and movie stars consult astrologers before taking important
decisions.
Tuesday's vote is forecast to be one of the closest in American
history. A Reuters/Zogby poll showed on Thursday that Bush was leading
Kerry by 48 to 46 percent but the lead was well within the poll's margin
of error.
