Chinese Astrology on John McCain (Part TWO of a FIVE-Part Series)
This is Part TWO of a FIVE-Part Series, on what Chinese astrology has to say about the presidental candidates and their running mates.
John McCain was born August 29, 1936, at 9:00 AM, in Cocosolo, Panama. This makes McCain a Fire Rat, born right on the cusp of the Snake-Dragon hour.
According to Chinese Astrologer Theodora Lau’s book, Fire Rats are chivalrous and dynamic. Fire Rats love getting involved in all sorts of activities, and never tire of embarking on new campaigns for justice and a beeter deal. They love travel and fashionable clothes, and are open and aggressive by nature. They can also be the most generous of the rats.
Although energetic and idelistic, they tend not to be very diplomatic, and at times may be too blunt to win the support they require. Because they are not very disciplined, they will follow the their heart more than their head. While devoted to home and family, they make take off whenever they feel hemmed in. They need lots of room and attention to soothe their oversized ego. They are independent and very, very competitive. They are not content to maintain a middle-of-the-road existence. If they are too impatient for success, their fortunes may change often and quite drastically.
Since McCain was born right on the cusp of the Dragon and Snake hours (at 9:00 AM), he could have characteristics from each:
Rat Born in the Dragon Hours (7 AM – 9 AM)
He will be gib-hearted and magnanimous–sometimes against his better judgment. The Dragon’s expansive nature can curb the Rat”’s covetous ways. People are drawn to his leadership abilities. The Dragon’s luck, combined with the Rat’s money-making talents will bring attention and success.
Rat Born in the Snake Hours (9 AM – 11 AM)
A Snake ascendant gives immense sex appeal. He will have hordes of admirers. But the Snake can make one secretive and introspective. He can be intelligent, charming, and inscrutable where emotions are concerned. It is hard for others to read him. He loves his privacy, and will not explain his motives to anyone. Others will have to accept him the way he is.
The Rat Personality, in General
The charm and innovative personality of the Rat is legendary. The rat can be forthright, inquisitive, and intrusive but always in such a disarmingly honest way that we find ourselves ata disadvantage. Harworking and thrifty, he will be generous only to those he is inordinately fond of. The Rat person is usually a bright, fun-loving, and sociable character. He usually enjoys patis and other large gatherings. Rats are by nature decidedly clannish. The Rat keeps his own secrets well, but has few qualms about using vital confidential information or capitalizing on the mistakes of others.
On the negative side, the Rat person loves to gossip, criticize, compare, and bargain–endlessly and usually over unimportant issues. There is no need to worry about the Rat’s safety, because he always checks out the back door before entering, in case he has to make an untimely exit from the scene. Self-preservation is high on his list of priorites. His stumbling block is overambition. He has an inborn ability to sense danger, yet often has difficulty relying on his own sound judgement.

Need I remind you back on May 18, 2008 you predicted John McCain. So which is it ? Poll numbers ? This is just stupid.
It is a personal test of mine to see IF and how well the TAROT cards can predict anything.
