This makes for an intense conversationalist, a strongly competitive worker, and a man with a deep set of values\u0412\u00a0and beliefs about how the world should be.\u0412\u00a0He brings with him a 100 percent pro-choice record and strong ties to Israel (though he has publicly declared his empathy for Palestinians). Oh, and if you thought Joe Biden spoke his mind, wait till you hear from this guy.<\/p>\n<p>Mars in Scorpio\u0412\u00a0reveals\u0412\u00a0a competitive nature:\u0412\u00a0he\u0412\u00a0trains and participates\u0412\u00a0in triathalons.\u0412\u00a0He has a strong need and enjoyment of competition, a personality trait that he shares with Barack Obama, who works out regularly and plays competitive basketball games while he waits for election results to roll in. This is someone with a warrior&#8217;s instincts, who can be wrathful when crossed, sometimes taking his ire to whole new levels of showing his discontent.\u0412\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His Sun is conjoined with Jupiter in Sagittarius. He is a great fundraiser. Translated, this means he has an incredible ability to communicate his aim to fit anyone else&#8217;s value system. Could he sell a fridge to an Eskimo? Yes, but not if he felt like they didn&#8217;t need it; and with Saturn in its native sign of Capricorn, he&#8217;s pretty sure he knows what the Eskimo needs.\u0412\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\">\n<p>Rahm is known for his very direct, red-meat style discourse, reminiscent of Bluto\u0412\u00a0in John Landis&#8217; classic &#8220;Animal House.&#8221; Andrew Sullivan elaborates in his article, <a href=\"http:\/\/andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com\/the_daily_dish\/2008\/11\/change-you-can.html\">Change You Can Motherfucking Believe In<\/a>:\u0412\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Michael Weiss commented on\u0412\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewcy.com\/post\/change_you_can_motherfucking_believe\"><\/a>the acquired taste for Rahm Emanuel&#8217;s conversational erudition. It&#8217;s 1992 and Clinton&#8217;s enemies are discussed in a post-campaign release:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Suddenly Emanuel grabbed his steak knife and, as those who were there remember it, shouted out the name of another enemy, lifted the knife, then brought it down with full force into the table. \u0412\u00a0&#8216;Dead!&#8217; he screamed. The group immediately joined in the cathartic release:<br \/>\n<em><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;Nat Landow! Dead! Cliff Jackson! Dead! Bill Schaefer! Dead!&#8217;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Toss in a deeply uncomfortable but funny line about cementing his assistant&#8217;s asshole shut, and you&#8217;ve got Gold, baby.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Furthermore, he has Saturn in Capricorn. When it comes to overseeing activities or for work ethic, this guy does not fuck around. There is an insurmountable character of pride in him for his background and his heritage. I would say there may be the capacity to be overbearing or domineering with a Scorpio Moon and a Capricorn Saturn. He can be intense and fright-inspiring in order to have his way.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5811\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5811\" style=\"width: 323px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/dingell_emanuel_paczki.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5811\" title=\"dingell_emanuel_paczki\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/dingell_emanuel_paczki.jpg?resize=333%2C280&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Rahm Emanuel and Rep.

He&#8217;s intense. He reportedly told former-British Prime Minister Tony Blair, prior to Blair appearing in public with Clinton for the first time after the Lewinsky scandal, &#8220;This is important. Don&#8217;t fuck it up.&#8221; Wikipedia also reports that Emanuel &#8220;mailed a rotting fish to a former coworker after the two parted ways.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is his Mars conjoining Moon, and Saturn in Cap. in action.<\/p>\n<p>The other thing I noticed about his Saturn in Capricorn is based on the fact that his father was involved in a militant Zionist group that fought against British invasion of Jerusalem. With Saturn here, he is very heavily influenced by his father&#8217;s past, and his values. Interestingly enough, &#8220;terrorist&#8221; Bill Ayers was a Capricorn himself, and was involved in violent protests, a few resulting in the deaths of colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>This move\u0412\u00a0could shift the House in some powerful ways. Taking Emanuel out of the House and giving him the power he craves by having the ear of the most powerful politician in the country is\u0412\u00a0the kind of deal Emanuel lives for. But lest we worry we have a loose cannon at the White House, remember he\u0412\u00a0has to\u0412\u00a0answer to his boss, President Barack Obama.<\/p>\n<p>With Obama\u0412\u00a0keeping Axelrod nearby, and overseeing Emanuel&#8217;s moves, he will\u0412\u00a0have built a\u0412\u00a0net which will stretch out from the White House to the House of Representatives.\u0412\u00a0What we may have\u0412\u00a0here is\u0412\u00a0a re-tooling of how Democrats are going to manage. Up until the 1990s they used to do so by caucuses. Once Republicans took over Congress under Gingrich, they decimated the caucus system and disabled the Democrats. The Republicans\u0412\u00a0did business during\u0412\u00a0morning prayer breakfasts.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder, what form of party organizing will\u0412\u00a0Massachusetts Representative <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Barney_Frank\" target=\"_blank\">Barney Frank<\/a>, utilize? Frank\u0412\u00a0will be holding the ball in the House with Rahm gone, and will\u0412\u00a0be the point man for the\u0412\u00a0party discipline that Obama and Rahm will probably need.\u0412\u00a0He was instrumental in getting a first draft deal to the economic crisis in September quickly, and had a penchant for explaining it in a coherent way to the public\u0412\u00a0during the crisis.<\/p>\n<p>From the looks of things,\u0412\u00a0Obama seems to be leaning the ship of State head-first through the troubled seas around\u0412\u00a0the country&#8217;s economy. Being America&#8217;s President-elect as we approach the age of Pluto in Capricorn, this is exactly what he needs to be doing.<\/p>\n<p>Yours &amp; truly,<\/p>\n<p>Fe Bongolan, Genevieve Salerno and Rachel Asher<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Friend and Reader, Rahm Emanuel has\u0412\u00a0a steak knife, and he&#8217;s not afraid to use it.
