A result of international cooperation horrorscope for the president of UC Berkeley

Dear President Yudof,

We are all glad you feel good after producing your new regulations on UC Berkeley – a place that we create, but you are so proudly governing. With all our respect, we still try to figure out how you came up with such brilliant ideas as financial cuts, firing workers, fee hikes etc, but no rational explanation could clarify this.

Therefore we decided to submit our question to astrologists hoping, that they might explain what you try to do with our University. Here are some insights to this witch crafted knowledge we do not practice, but some people still try to develop. We now understand that your actions are directly influenced by the stars constellations, because simply a human intellect could not act with such a rapidity and determination. Here is a quote from a daily horoscope for Scorpios – you were born under this sign:

“You are feeling good–everything in your life just seems to fall into place. Higher ups may have noticed your quick intelligence and your ability to find answers in difficult situations. This may create an opportunity for you to move up the ladder of success into management. Your decision would be on whether you could actually fire someone or not. Give this plenty of thought and then think again. Perhaps some reading topics on the tribulation of management would help. (…) The young people in your environment seek you out this evening. You encourage psychological well-being”.(Daily.horoscopes.com)

As a Scorpio your poisonous actions might not always be appreciated by the people whom they might affect, and that definitely is the case here, at UC Berkeley. The young and old people around you indeed search for some thoughtful way out of the dead-end cut street you brought us all to. In fact we would be delighted if you stepped away from the Pluto and stars determined destructive patch and came back to Earthly domain. We know, that it is hard to go back from the way which follows such brilliant other Scorpio historical figures, as P. J. Goebbels (whose first order was to burn forbidden books in Germany back in 1930s) or Margaret Thatcher (who was to introduce the neoliberal economy and gained the nick-name “Iron Lady” after doing so). Not only you follow their agenda, but you take action in the month of Scorpio, exactly when Goebbels started his “action”. Being a Scorpio is a hard duty in fact, yet being a Scorpio born in the year of Monkey is quite an accomplishment. We all know that Monkeys can run circles around other people with ease, love practical jokes and like to play tricks on colleagues and friends alike (http://www.usbridalguide.com). But the Scorpio nature of Scorpio Monkeys often sparks some negative aspects of the Monkey which could lead to a malicious makeover (http://www.ofesite.com). We hope reason finds its way to your decisions. With all due respect, the protesters.
