June 21, 2107 So much for my previous astrological prediction of some kind of news announcement today. Oh well, they did announce an electrical outage for a short period at the State House. That didn’t stop their tongues from flapping on the roofs of their mouths, they just brought in a generator. U.S. News & World Report, 6 hours ago, MONTPELIER, VT (AP) “Power has been restored to the VT Statehouse following about an hour-long outage as legislators were…” So, while I was still waiting for some news on marijuana legalization, I studied other seriously important astrological issues, combined with real life Space astronomy, that yield amazing new predictions!

The energy of the Brattleboro Selectboard was spent on many issues of energy – from a demonstration of carbon use during a fuel oil purchase to appointing, oddly, multiple weighers of coal. Energy improvements were contemplated, but not firm enough to take hold quite yet.
The conversation about diversity continued, with a status report and a plan to survey experts and others in the community before jumping in with decided plans. Green Street and surrounding areas will get a new network of trails. And the board asked for an ordinance to ban single use plastic bags from retail outlets.
For the last few years, there have been rumblings that our educational system is not adequately preparing students to take their place in the workforce. They call it career-readiness, and unfortunately, a lot of young job applicants aren’t, ready that is.
When the Sun & Mercury are in the same astrological sign, the same number of degrees, then you can expect a major political announcement! Of course, Washington, D.C. is just about close to the same astrological timing, so also look there for a major news announcement about 11 a.m.
June 21 at 11 a.m. in Montpelier, Vermont, the Sun will be in zero degrees Cancer and also Mercury will be in zero degrees Cancer. This indicates that we should expect a major political announcement!
