John McCain Tells Chinese Officials He's Tarzan

February 2000

John McCain, if elected President, will announce to Chinese officials that he is Tarzan.

"I know this sounds absurd," says Psychic Vera, still stunned by her most recent political vision, "but need I remind you that at the recent California Republican convention the presidential candidate compared himself to Luke Skywalker, the young hero of the Star Wars movies. He said, 'Remember the establishment is against us. This is an insurgency campaign and I'm Luke Skywalker.'"

"This is a good example of a grandiose sense of humor displayed by someone with a Mars in Leo combined with the self-depreciating tendencies of a Virgo," Vera stated to students and friends. "Of course, some would question McCain's sense of humor, considering the so-called joke he told at Chelsea Clinton's expense at a Republican fundraiser in June of 1998."

Not explicitly reported by any of the major media outlets at the time, except in The Arizona Republic, the Associated Press and then printed in Salon Magazine, McCain reportedly said, "Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno."

"Although apologizing to President Clinton the next day," Vera went on to say, "John McCain still appears to be just another mean spirited Republican, hardly the man of principle that he claims to be."

Mars the planet of anger, self-assertion, and sex in the sign of Leo indicates that the presidential wanna-be wishes to be recognized for his sexual prowess. "He likes to be stroked and admired for his bedroom performance," Vera said, "and if he doesn't get it from his wife, he may go outside the marriage bed for his ego-gratification. Further the machismo planet, Mars, is up at the top of McCain's horoscope, which further amplifies his need for public recognition of his male energy."

This characteristic might be confirmed by a new rumor circulating in the Arizona Republic about McCain and actress/singer Connie Stevens. The Republic has published articles connecting McCain with Stevens romantically as well as with the mob. These rumors have also been linked with the recent death of a businessman and former columnist for the Phoenix Gazette, Ronald Bianchi.

Although not wishing to participate in false rumormongering like the Clinton haters have done, Psychic Vera did say that stories of a philandering Senator McCain may be true, considering his astrological signature. "He is a Virgo male," Vera said. "Virgo is a feminine sign and can be a puritanical one, particularly when the individual is young. Suppressed sexuality in the young Virgo boy sometimes changes to sexual addiction and gluttony in the older Virgo man."

His Mars in Leo square Uranus in Taurus further supports rumors that McCain has a problem with his anger. This configuration indicates a volatile and unpredictable temper and with Uranus in Taurus in the 7th House of relationships, he can stubbornly blow his stack whenever he is confronted. Not a good sign for diplomacy in the White House.

Inharmonious aspects to his Venus from Neptune, Saturn, and Jupiter are further indications of relationship problems. Since Venus is in the sign of Virgo, McCain is very picky and unrealistic about his relationships. Seeking perfection, he can criticize and find fault in any woman he becomes involved with. If she isn't strong-minded, she might fall into a black hole of self-recrimination and guilt.

Further, Mc Cain can be a bully, not only in marriage but also while holding the reins of authority. "With Pluto in the 10th House opposing the Moon in the 4th house, he grew up in a cold dictatorial household. This configuration," Vera said, "could indicate a tendency to emotionally blackmail and bully those that won't do his bidding. All in all, this is not a particularly pleasant aspect for anyone that wants to be president of the United States.
