"A rare transit of Venus takes place on the eight of June for the first time in over 100 years. This sheds fascinating light on the nature of the elections that are due to follow it. The event will create a cosmic climate in which people all over the planet find themselves re-evaluating their priorities and rethinking their relationship with the environment."
"All whose intentions are noble and sincere will benefit from this influence… and those that seek to promote ideals based on tolerance, compassion and natural wisdom are likely to find themselves exceptionally attractive, even to those who might normally be unsympathetic to their message," he concluded.
Darren Johnson, Green Party mayoral candidate for London said, "This is such an important election for us I’m happy to get help from anywhere – even Venus."
