PREAMBLE:
Well, the election’s tomorrow!

Regarding the FBI’s recent re-opening then re-closing of the Hillary criminal investigation: Hillary’s a Scorpio. With Scorpio, it’s always sex, secrets (other people’s) money and power. (Good Scorpios work with these for the benefit of others — e.g., sex therapists, detectives, psychiatrists, surgeons, philanthropists. etc. Bill Gates is Scorpio. But bad Scorpios get entangled in sexual affairs, grab other people’s money, and create mafia-like organizations.) Scorpio is intense: bad Scorpios are very bad and good Scorpios are very good. (And, like most signs, there’s a vast “in-beween,” — none of us are purely saints or purely sinners.) In astrology, Scorpio rules the underground, murder, birth (conception; birthing is Cancer) research, the  crossing of sexual boundaries, physics of all types, oil, underground waters and swamps, super-tech such as cray commuters and advanced medical. (Not sure about artificial intelligence.) Scorpio is often physically courageous and has tremendous stamina. And, as Trump said about Clinton, “She doesn’t quit, and I admire that.”

I wrote here when the email questions began arising a year ago or so, that Hillary’s flaw was secrecy. It is every Scorpio’s flaw and strength. It is what it is; it/she/he won’t change. It’s like asking a ladder to be a tricycle.
Obama is out campaigning for Hillary, now day and night, now with a certain panic and frustration — he’s angry, he’s telling his audience to “shut up and sit down,” he’s attacking the FBI…. Obama’s scared. If HC loses and Trump drains the swamp, where do Obama’s feet anchor him? In the slime, at least, of forty visits in the Oval Office with a convicted felon. Maybe we’ll see what Obamarama was dealing in. It wasn’t innocence!
