the ISAR panel of 6 or so astrologers unanimously predicted a Clinton victory. Flipping a coin might have worked better. Astrologers who blog online, and write books and charge money are showing similar stats . Way worse than random coin flip prediction. 10 to 1 in favor of Hillary winning.
Yes political experts didn't see it coming. But isn't that when we need astrology, when conventional wisdom doesn't work? If we can't have *some* of a chosen group of experts predicting correctly then what is the point? (to be clear, I don't expect every one to make the right prediction. But this is worse than chance)
No wonder many 'experts' avoid prediction and prefer psychobabble. Steven Forrest is already saying that Trump won because (paraphrasing) Pluto accentuates the shadow side of whatever it touches and since Pluto is in Capricorn, the shadow conservative side won in the form of Trump. WTF? why didn't you predict this before the election then? Pluto was in Capricorn on Nov 7th too!
I think every astrologer who makes predictions should be put on record and his/her record tracked over the years. Just an idea. In time this should winnow the techniques that don't work. Mixed Martial Arts competitions had a similar effect on the martial arts. When you see '10th generation grandmasters' of Flying Emerald Dragon Yin Yang Kungfu get knocked out in one punch by an intermediate level boxer, the field of martial arts gets purged of ineffectiveness.
Demoralisedly,
