A Goat, Twins and a Virgin

Richard Nixon is lucky. He is a Capricorn, which is the sign of government, and men born under its goat symbol make the best executives. Moreover, the planet of good fortune, Jupiter, has come to his aid, and in early November the planets will be in a favorable aspect for him. But he must be careful. Pluto, the planet of change, conjuncts with Mars on Oct. 30, portending potential violence, and the fact that both Uranus, the planet of the unexpected, and Jupiter are moving toward Humphrey's sun is favorable for him.

Such, anyway, is the view of astrologers, who are working especially hard during the campaign. Generally they are telling their millions of fans that Nixon will win the election. Says Manhattan Astrologer Zolar (Bruce King): "It's obvious, and you don't need an astrologer to tell you, that Nixon has the strongest chart around the first two weeks of November." Zoe E. Woolfolk of Beverly Hills agrees: "He is better balanced than the other two candidates. And all Capricorns are very ambitious."

Humphrey, says Mrs. Woolfolk, "is Gemini. It's not as established as Capricorn. Gemini is air, while Capricorn is the earth sign. Geminis, like air, blow hot and cold. They go this way today and another way tomorrow. They are intellectuals, idealists, while Capricorn people keep their feet on the ground." Wallace is a Virgo and, say the astrologers, has eight planets compressed into two signs. This signifies great power and little perspective.
