Anyone born under that will notice many of the same problems - though they do tend to abate as you get older (mostly because you become adept at working around them).

Does sign-in for a primary ballot count?

All the more so because Pluto and Saturn are now conjunct (together in the heavens). This is most inauspicious to anyone in power - particularly those who abuse their power.

(4,416 posts)does it seem to move backwards (in retrograde) during the event - I don't know much about astrology, but if there's a sky event able to be seen at this spot on the globe, you can bet it will be so cloudy, one won't be able to see a thing...

Heres a run-down from England using Brexit as a reference point. I really just found vague stuff or pure science other than this article:
