There are few topics more polarizing than local politics or astrology.
With newly elected Council members taking their oaths soon, it’s time for a change in Chicago politics.
It’s time for political analysis based wholly on astrology.
The new alderpeople being sworn in for this session are younger, queerer, more Socialist, and a far more diverse group than the aldermen they’re replacing (and since none of them have blackmailed Burger King, for now we can assume they’re also less corrupt).
These new alderpeople are moving quickly — with the stars in alignment or not.
Like any good astrological source, this guide includes “Oh, that makes sense” facts you can use to validate either the legitimacy of astrology or the relevance of local politics (depending upon your audience).
Before their inauguration into City Council next Monday, use this star based guide to better understand each one’s stance on police union contract negotiations, their definitions of a “community driven” process, or to over-analyze all of their Instagram posts (just like you would with any of your crushes).
