Beginning at midnight on November 7th, the American West Coast (around 3 am East Coast Nov 8) the US will experience a blood moon total lunar eclipse! Does anyone want to read the bones or goat entrails and tell us what they think that means for the election on Tuesday?
On Tuesday, the Earth, sun and moon will align to create a Blood Moon eclipse. It will be the last total lunar eclipse until 2025. Mark your calendars. pic.twitter.com/gzVNszA6RA

A political bloodletting, but which side? Is it a metaphor for a dark time ahead (if either side sweeps, the other will think as much)? Or, just a coincidence?
I’m thinking the latter, but the poetry of it is not lost. A blood moon eclipse that starts on election day is eery and cool, and if you want to watch it, you can check out this online tool to see exactly when you need to be outside (assuming a clear night).
If it genuinely troubles you, head down to KFC and “sacrifice” a (bucket of) chicken to Jobu.
Note: If you are in Hawai’i or Alaska, this starts closer to 10 pm on the 7th. Just type your zip code into the map wherever you are!
