Are you an Aries, too, Carolyn?

Tim def impresses me. While I can't exactly say he's my type, I think he's the type the country needs as a relatable figure. He's like George Bush in a good person's psyche. People can see having a beer with him.

Yes. As soon as I got a vibe hit on him I felt a rush of relief -- he balances the (sadly) radical notion in America that a Black/Indian WOMAN can be president.

Brilliant as always Mr Woodruff! I wonder what you might find in Pete Buttigieg's chart? He has been rolled out on all the talk shows and is doing brilliantly. :-)

Thank you, Byrdie. I don't know much about Pete other than he is a classic career-climbing Capricorn. We'll be seeing a LOT of him in the future, I'd venture.

A Libra picked an Aries running mate. Interesting!

I'm a Cancer, 90% of my best friends are Capricorns. There is a lot of truth to the opposites attracting in astrology. My dad was an Aries and married a Libra. The two signs both share a drive for justice, although Aries' is much more personal and sometimes reckless.

Frederick, this post on Tim Walz, masculinity, Aries, and tears, sure moved me this morning. Your closing line hit a soft spot in my heart. Thanks xo Your authenticity is refreshing!

Thanks, Kat. Now I'm getting misty-eyed.

I too have noticed that Walz feels not only highly energized but also very much in his body -- and in his feelings. Funny that that was your dad's favorite songs. Loved this post, Fred.

As a teen that song was totally cringe. It's cloying quality blew my mind when I discovered my dad playing it.

Love this (and you AND Walz) - before she picked him and I, along with many others, was praying that she would, while doubting an establishment Dem would be that smart - I looked at their synastry. His Aries Jupiter conjoins her Moon (and opposes her Sun) so I saw that they'd have a mutually supportive, POSITIVE VIBE thing going, which is now a virtual trademark for their campaign (Happy Warriors). (omg I remember that song! God bless the man that cries to that)

Thank you Victoria.

Yes, it's remarkable how palpable the vibe shift was when they connected and then appeared in public. It was more than just Trump-fatigue relief. I could feel the respect and fondness they have for each other, and then that radiates out to touch the crowds. It makes the entire 2024 Trump campaign feel like a funeral procession of weirdos.

Just saw this for some reason, but yeah, the Jupiter factor in their synastry is a big plus. Want to let in some fucking gravitas and courage (are we ALL AIPAC's bitches?), and I do fear that the mainstream is in denial about the RFK Jr factor (un. fucking. be. lievable. JHFC). There's a cult there every bit as real as in Trumpville, and discernment is at an all time Who Cares? at this moment in history.

But Walz rocks and hope lives.

This is so encouraging to read, Frederick! Thank you!

Very interesting and I must admit that it hit close to home as my father is an Aries. Interestingly my take on the Party and the election is altogether different. Eventually, I hope to find the time to write my take on the Aries father only from an alternate universe that is altogether different while eerily the same. Neither party represents me at this point, but I find the rhetoric of the Dems particular offensive and dangerous. You may be saying that I don't know what I am talking about, but I did predict Biden's demise and Kamala's rise many weeks in advance of their happening. I do my best to keep it non-partisan but at this point I don't feel the need to hide the fact that I have no love for either party. As a former Democratic, I feel betrayed. Watch the documentary The Fall of Minneapolis https://youtu.be/eFPi3EigjFA?si=BWZO-POfdvv0lGKh if you care to understand the horror and apprehension that is being felt by those who understand what Tim Walz truly stands for https://karlskellenger.substack.com/p/the-june-27th-presidential-debate?r=fjmlo

So, I will assume that you are voting for Stein or West. Interesting. Generally, as a rule, I stay agnostic politically. But Trump's ascent is a history-making phenomenon I want to see self-immolate ASAP.

In the future, please only post links in my Substack's comment section if they relate to specific details you have argued for in your response. In this case, you made a garden variety negative allusion to Walz and then dropped a link to do your argument's heavy lifting.

Some FYI regarding Alpha News, the producers of 'The Fall of Minneapolis.' Alpha is a self-described 'news organization' and is considered rife with poor sourcing, conspiracy theories, hoax generation, and an overall lack of transparency. According to an old Star Tribune article from Google, “The launch of Alpha News was first promoted today by the Minnesota Tea Party Alliance on Facebook." So, right away, Alpha was staked out in Crazy Town. Maybe you might want to reevaluate their product and agenda.

Maybe you should watch the Documentary. It's not like the entire legacy news media, excluding Fox, isn't completely biased and filled with lies that serve the agenda of the Democratic elite and their war machine/pharmaceutical funders, not to mention the heavy input from the CIA and the WEF. Yes let's burn down more central police headquarters in major cities that's a great idea.

I'm in Ohio where Trump will win the vote. I'm considering voting against Sherrod Brown. Free speech, freedom from vaccine mandates, and regaining control of illegal immigration are my main issues. Sherrod has nothing to say on any of these issues that I agree with.

I really enjoyed your take on Aries men. I personally feel I have lots of masculine energy to balance out - and it resonated so much, too - as an Aries sun. The misty eyed part is so classic Aries.

Excuse my while I deep dive into your theory about once we understand our parents’ sun signs (I come from a Leo sun mom and a Sag sun dad - with two Leo sun children and a Sag moon. Seems like I will learn!)

Love your work - it’s magnetic!

Thank you Sara.

It's a good contemplation, re our parent's Sun signs and then how ours is bookended by them.

I'm happy to know you enjoy my scribing. 😉

You’re welcome 🙂

I’m sitting in and looking forward realizing that trinity. I’ll know when I feel it.

And I’ll look forward to reading your thoughts on that another time 💭 thank you!!
