India Post astrologer predicts Pritzker win

Posted in:

Illinois
Pundit rankings

* The New Dehli-based India Post newspaper asked an astrologer to take a look at the Illinois governor’s race because the paper claims there’s intense interest about the race among Indian-Americans here. According to the article, Jatin Patel predicted Donald Trump would defeat Hillary Clinton. Patel uses what’s called the “Vedic systems approach” (click here to learn more). I kid you not…

Mr. Pritzker birth (natal) planets has exalted (extreme power) of Rahu and Ketu which has given him abundance of drive. His Sun and Saturn are well-placed. This has given him limelight and opportunity to pursue politics, later in his career.

Saturn rules masses of people, which gives him people skills and is liked by others. Sun rules government, the combination of the two and transit Saturn on the day of election touches his natal Saturn making people (masses) like him. His natal Moon is strong giving him status, and a nurturing nature.

Mr. Rauner’s natal planets have strong Saturn, Venus, and Mars which give him good life, energy and success in businesses ventures. Venus giving him interest in arts and good support from wife, also making him helping others. He has many interests in life, outdoors for example. Mars gives him success in real estate and strict in decision making. It is sitting in its own house.

Both candidates have strong charts, but the transit of planets should be a very decisive factor for the ultimate outcome.

On November 6, 2018, the big difference of Saturn close to natal Saturn of Mr. Pritzer and exalted Rahu and Ketu at birth give him the edge. Mr. Pritzker in my opinion would prevail.

And there you have it.

Well that settles it. Why even have an election?

The other day a group of birds walked in front of me, but I don’t know how to interpret it and know of no bird augur who could read this and say whether it’s an omen.

Take that, Nate silver.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But can he bend spoons?

So, does this mean we’re not getting an octopus to pick the race?

Comment by Anonimity Thursday, Aug 2, 18 @ 10:59 am
Good. Can we stop with the ads now?

Comment by Responsa Thursday, Aug 2, 18 @ 10:59 am
When can we start taking bets on how long before Mr. Patel is hired as a political analyst by a media outlet in Chicago.

Comment by Southside Markie Thursday, Aug 2, 18 @ 11:00 am
Well at least that takes away all the suspense.

Probably more accurate than a lot of other polls

When have the planets steered us wrong?

(Insert joke with planet names and predictions)

Which planets are McCann and Kash Jackson on?

Pluto lied to us for decades.

Mike Madigan and the Vedic systems approach he controls.

(Or is it the culture he creates?)

Comment by Henry Francis Thursday, Aug 2, 18 @ 11:20 am
Besides the childish comments I think its a great analysis of both candidates by Patel. He predicted a Trump win so lets see if he is right about this. I don’t see Rauner winning but glad to hear his prediction is showing Rauner losing.

===Pluto lied to us for decades.===

I give Pluto a pass. It meant well, it tried, but in the end, the threshold changed.

Pluto didn’t lie, we let down Pluto.

It’s something that I know haunts me.

It is impossible to argue against both Ratu and Ketu. May as well call the race for JB right now.

Yikes, man, its August 2nd.

At this rate, your seriousness, you’ll implode, lol

A little nonsense now and then, is relished by the wisest men.

Relish yes. Ketchup?

“Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But can he bend spoons?” Well…Uri Geller is Israeli, so there’s that.

1.) Google search = check
2.) ID interests and strengths = Check
3.) Spin the planets and assign interests and strengths = Check
4.) Spit out well known prediction = Check

I could have gotten more information out of my morning bowel movement.

Comment by Baggs McCoy Thursday, Aug 2, 18 @ 11:31 am
The Astrologer didn’t analyze Sam McCann & Kash Jackson, so just like a poll that excluded them, I wouldn’t put money on this result.

What no entrails? Total hocus pocus if no blood and guts.

How long before the goo-goos start clamoring for Vedic disclosure forms with the State Board of Elections?

Does Mr. Patel have a prediction yet on the exact date the US Congress approves the cram-down plan in the State of Illinois’ bankruptcy case?

Comment by Occam Thursday, Aug 2, 18 @ 11:34 am
MrJM - I am sincerely flattered.

Comment by Henry Francis Thursday, Aug 2, 18 @ 11:34 am
Denpok Singh from Silicon Valley will probably endorse JB too.

… easy to say since you don’t know me.

Lighten up, Francis, your martyrdom is noted.

Good to see Capt Fax and his astrologer have finally given up on GovJunk. Let the exit interview tour continue

Comment by Annonin' Thursday, Aug 2, 18 @ 11:37 am
The issue may be that Rauner has been using the wrong mantra. Instead of “Om Mani Padme Hum,” he’s been using “Um, Madigan, Not in Charge.”

Comment by Earnest Thursday, Aug 2, 18 @ 11:38 am
Given JB’s lack of experience in pretty much everything, I fully expect this astrologer to be Chief of Staff.

Who needs John King anyway?

-I’m always lightend up on any topic besides Rauner. But in his regard I will lighten up when he is sent packing.

===…on any topic besides Rauner. But in his regard I will lighten up when he is sent packing.===

So glad you get to choose how you go about it.

Let others have that choice too.

Ugh.

To the post,

If this prediction is true, let’s say for argument’s sake, can there be a prediction where Ole Slip and Sue goes next? Or, should Slip and Sue worry, another accident is in the offing?

Prayers have the same effectiveness as these metrics.

No rune casting or bone rattling? Total hocus pocus without runes or bones.

Jatin Patel predicted Donald Trump
I knew there was something strange going on in the stars when the Cubs won the World Series and Trump was elected President within just a few weeks time. That explains the crazy year.

I totally want to see MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki explain that on his big screen.

Any chance we can get Mr. Patel to give us Quinn’s horoscope?

I was just wondering what the New Dehli-based India Post have to say about Sam McCann, the IL Legislative and Congressional candidates.

If we’re looking for quirky election predictors, why not hire Paul the Octopus too? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_the_Octopus
