Candidates by Their Signs
I can't believe it took me so long to into the presidential race to get around to analysis of the candidates by their presidential signs. To recall, here are our previous presidents by their signs, arranged from most with the sign to fewest:
5--Scorpio (John Adams, James K. Polk, James A. Garfield, Theodore Roosevelt, Warren G. Harding)
5--Aquarius (William Henry Harrison, Abraham Lincoln, William McKinley, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan)
4--Taurus (James Monroe, Ulysses S. Grant, Harry S. Truman, James Buchanan)
4--Cancer (John Quincy Adams, Calvin Coolige, Gerald Ford, George W. Bush)
4--Libra (Rutherford B. Hayes, Chester A. Arthur, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Jimmy Carter)
4--Capricorn (Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, Woodrow Wilson, Richard M. Nixon)
4--Pisces (George Washington, James Madison, Andrew Jackson, Grover Cleveland)
3--Leo (Benjamin Harrison, Herbert Hoover, Bill Clinton)
3--Sagittarius (Martin Van Buren, Zachery Taylor, Franklin Pierce)
2--Aries (Thomas Jefferson, John Tyler)
2--Gemini (John F. Kennedy, George H.W. Bush)
2--Virgo (William Howard Taft, Lyndon B. Johnson)
As for the current field of candidates, I find the Democrats to be appropriately starred: Barack Obama as a Leo is a noble leader. Hillary Clinton is a jealous and secretive Scorpio. No wonder these candidates have been bickering of late. John Edwards is the perfect Gemini with his Two Americas, the whole rich lawyer/son of a poor mill worker thing, and of course his
hair.
The Republican slate is less telling. Both John McCain and Mike Huckabee are Virgos, which seems wrong because they are not the same. Rudy Giuliani's "all 9/11, all the time" monomessage is not what I would expect from a Gemini. Given the Ron Paul Blimp, I would have expected him to be an air sign, but he's a Leo. Mitt Romney rounds out the field as a Pisces.
