Here’s how the elections will fall because planets don’t lie

Early voting is in full swing, and the savvy are predicting turnout will be the key to the two tightest races in Nevada: the U.S. Senate and the 3rd Congressional District.

The televised debates have ended, dashing all hopes someone would commit a huge flub that would give one candidate the edge and doom the other.

The Democratic get-out-the-vote effort has brought victory in past years, and that would seem to give an edge to U.S. Sen. Harry Reid over Republican challenger Sharron Angle. If the Democratic machine works again, shouldn't that pull one-term Congresswoman Dina Titus into a second term, rebuffing Republican Dr. Joe Heck?

Polls show both races neck and neck, within the margin of error, so polls can't be counted on to predict certain victory.

But there are other ways to find answers to the unknown.

When the late Bob Stupak ran for mayor of Las Vegas in 1987, during the last two weeks, he called in seven or eight psychics asking whether he would win. All of them assured him victory would be his, except Magickal Marissa. She told him he would lose. And he did.

Marissa Cook is a psychic, astrologer and Wiccan.

Once provided the candidates' birth dates, she charted their astrological signs and soon provided answers. On Nov. 2, we'll know whether she's right, but she wasn't afraid to take a stance with a minimum of waffling.

Harry Reid was born Dec. 2, 1939; Sharron Angle was born July 26, 1949.

"Astrologically speaking, it's complex," she said. "His sign is in Sagittarius, which favors this time in general, more than Leos. (Angle is a Leo.)

"Looking at early voting, the moon is in Aquarius." Opportunities are coming Harry Reid's way, she said, based on his natal chart and what the planets are doing during early voting and on Election Day.

"The day of the election, the moon is in Virgo and enters Libra Nov. 2 at 10:24 p.m. This favors him," she said. (I could only take her word for it because I hadn't a clue what all that meant.)

Another twist: Pluto is in Capricorn. "That means in general, we'll have a whole revolution of political views in the U.S. for the next 10 years or so. We're in the middle of a major transformation."

Marrisa's call: "I gotta go with Harry Reid. I don't see how he can lose, with how the planets are lined up."

She didn't need Rory Reid's birthday of July 10, 1963, to predict he will lose the governor's race to Brian Sandoval, and she insisted that's not because of polling, but because of her strong vibration.

She offered a startling analysis of Sandoval, born Aug. 5, 1953. His chart shows he has "some different ideas that will help. He could help our failing economy more than Rory Reid."

That's odd. The biggest embarrassment of this race is that Sandoval hasn't shared his ideas about balancing the state budget despite Rory Reid's best exhortations against the man with no plan. Apparently Sandoval counts on looking gubernatorial to overcome his failure to communicate how he'll fix a $3 billion budget shortfall.

How about that Titus-Heck race, Marissa?

Titus was born May 23, 1950, and Heck on March 3, 1961.

Heck's chart shows Jupiter and Saturn in the sign of Capricorn, which means he's a natural-born politician with fresh ideas. "The night of the election, his natal Pluto is in Virgo and election night's moon is in Virgo and that means a major transformation in his life. I've gotta go with Heck over Dina," she said.

The stars have spoken through Magickal Marissa.

Her bipartisan predictions are as good as any others I've heard recently.
