The November 2008 US elections took place during a Mercury Retrograde period, promising confusion, mix-ups and vague results, as was the case in the still on-going Franken / Coleman Senate race in Minnesota.

Lots of times confused issues that arise during a Merc retro period are resolved during a subsequent Merc retro period / shadow period. Mercury enters its shadow period on April 22nd, before going completely retro on May 7. Merc turns direct on June 1st, and exits the shadow around June 15th.

We can look to this period for a decision to finally be made and winner to be declared, although there may still be hiccups in the future, and the power of the Senator selected (looks to be Franken) may be weakened during this term.

BTW, what happened to those hippie flower children that made them end up as such hateful, conservative, moneyloving b’strds? Norm Coleman’s year book pic was pretty hot!
