The Power of the Stars

Congratulations to all those who took half within the current Presidential elections, held at tempo on Nov. 20. A day which additionally signaled the beginning of FIFA’s 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

As ever, England followers are trying past science within the hope that one thing, something, will predict a victory for the Three Lions, and permit the boys to match the success of the England ladies’s workforce.

Achilles the cat, Mani the parakeet, Marcus the pig, and my favourite, Paul the Octopus have all proved unreliable fortune tellers, so I regarded to the heavens and the predictive powers of the celebs. If it was adequate for the Babylonians….

Now, from a zodiacal perspective, Kazakhstan’s current Presidential election occurred below the Home of Scorpio. An indication identified for ardour, independence, and being unafraid to blaze a path it doesn’t matter what others suppose. What a beautiful description of the way in which ahead for Kazakhstan.

Scorpio additionally hates individuals who aren’t real and won’t tolerate injustice – additional music to our ears.

Certainly, an auspicious begin to the following Presidential time period?

And what does astrology inform us concerning the election outcomes? Not loads, however how do President Tokayev’s stars intersect these of Scorpio? He’s a Taurus, in case you questioned.

Though astrologically reverse, Scorpio and Taurus have loads in frequent. 

Each are decided, bold, and dedicated to their dwelling. One web site writes “Scorpio brings the safety that soothes Taurus’ concern of being deserted” – maybe there’s something on this astrology stuff!

Studying additional “Pushed Scorpio will inspire the sometimes-lazy Taurus.” And “Funds are usually not a problem right here, as each are good with cash.”

Up to now so good, proper? The celebs have spoken, and Kazakhstan’s future is shiny. A Presidential election that may ship a decided, bold, trailblazer who will reduce out injustice, take away insincere apparatchiks and give attention to making a greater, richer Kazakhstan.

Horoscopes apart, there may be a lot to counsel that the development of coverage reforms will proceed: Energy has been devolved, and accountability enhanced since January. With the safety of a seven-year time period, it is a time for the President to be daring; to ship; to boost the sovereignty of every citizen; to share the wealth of the nation with the numerous; to boost justice and security for all; and, as soon as once more, to make Kazakhstan the beacon of hope for all nations throughout Central Asia.

A beacon of stability, security, and tolerance and a rustic that does what it says it can do. A protected harbor for traders and an ideal place for vacationers trying to go to the numerous areas of excellent magnificence throughout Kazakhstan.

However how? How can a Taurus obtain the reforms that the folks of Kazakhstan deserve?

For individuals who have ever walked by way of a area with a bull in it, you’ll know that its energy doesn’t relaxation in its class, politics, or {smooth} phrases.

The facility of a Taurus lies in its may, it’s muscle mass and its sharp horns. A bull get’s issues finished not due to the sweetness of its phrase, however by the ability and heft it exerts. It doesn’t do ballet, however give it the ball behind the scrum and it scores each time. A Taurus delivers and encourages others to do the identical.

Nevertheless, for each highly effective, magnificent Taurus, there’s a smooth-talking, gilded matador. Often a brief man, bitter about all he lacks, who has devoted his life to utilizing guile to destroy others. Small arms, small minds, and, nicely, small the whole lot. However to anybody questioning the ability of the small to impact change, spend an evening in a room with a mosquito. Resplendent of their tailor-made fits, they’re the antithesis of the ability and majesty of the bull. They entice, encourage, and frustrate the bull to its loss of life. 

However not all the time. Typically the wily bull wins. 

And that shall be a problem for President Tokayev. A frontrunner with all the ability, and the mandate, to ship vital reforms and enhance Kazakhstan for all. However a person surrounded by smooth-talking matadors, gleaming estoc in hand, ready to manage the coup de gras. One hand on the sword, the opposite one shoveling cash into their grubby purse.

My recommendation to the President: Filter out the matadors, and ruthlessly ship your pioneering manifesto of improvement and reform. Let no man cease the cost of the Taurus for a greater Kazakhstan, and use the brand new mandate to transform phrases into actions.

Failure to take action gained’t simply be unhealthy for the President, however may also be a sting within the tail for all Kazakh residents.

Can it’s finished? Let’s ask tentacled Paul?
