The upcoming United States Election
I recently attended several Zoom meetings with astrologers from around the world. The discussion focused on who each astrologer thought would win the upcoming United States election. The panels of astrologers were mostly represented by men, and there were only two women. The astrologers used different approaches and focused on different reasons why they thought a certain candidate might win. Interestingly, many of the men thought that Trump would win, and the two women thought that Vice President Harris would win. Every single astrologer thought there would be violence associated with the election.
When using Astrology to predict an election outcome, astrologers use many different tools. Traditionally, Electoral Astrologers analyze the Spring Equinox chart, the candidate’s natal, solar, and progressed charts, the country’s birth chart, and recent eclipses. And of course, the chart for election day. I think it is also helpful to look at the Autumn Equinox chart and look at each candidate’s Astro locality chart set to the White House.
Because it was Mercury retrograde when the Continental Congress declared independence from England, there is confusion about the timing of the United State’s birth chart.
There are several historical primary sources to help us decide the possible time that Congress ratified the Declaration of Independence.
John Adams from Massachusetts wrote to his wife Abagail every day and discussed what transpired during the meetings. Thomas Jefferson from Virginia and the primary author of the Declaration of Independence, kept a diary. Several other members of the Continental Congress wrote letters describing the events in Philadelphia that summer.
Adams wrote to his wife on July 3 and told her that he believed that July 2 would be the day that the United States celebrated independence from England because that was the day that the Continental Congress passed unanimously a resolution declaring independence from England. It was then decided that the declaration needed revising. Thomas Jefferson, Adams, and Benjamin Franklin worked on revisions all day on July 3rd and into the morning of July 4th. On the morning of July 4th, the Continental Congress convened at 9:00 am, and ratifying the declaration was the second item on the day’s agenda. Noted, American historian David McCulloch writes, ‘Discussion of the Declaration appears to have continued through the morning until about 11:00 am when the debate was closed, and the vote was taken. (1988,p.137)
In a classic Mercury retrograde fashion, there are various birth charts used for the United States. Other charts are set for later in the afternoon when the trio of Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin were tasked with preparing a Seal of the United States; other charts are based on when the Declaration was printed, also in use is a historically unjustified middle of the night chart. The most popular is called the Sibly chart, it is an esoteric chart that “signifies” the event and is not based on historical facts. I use the mid-morning chart based on the Journals of the Continental Congress. I also refer to when the Declaration of Independence was read to the public on July 8th at Noon in Philadelphia.
For folks that don’t want to know the astrological why, I have added a Quick analysis to each section and will do a summary as well.
Trump’s Astrological strengths and weaknesses in the upcoming election
Trump, as you might imagine, has an extremely bellicose natal chart, filled with aggressive aspects and some very lucky Jupiter aspects, Trump has succeeded at failing upward.
Natal Chart with USA’s chart: Quick analysis: He is planning to use the same strategies as the last time he ran for office. He still has a strong appeal to the media, his base identifies with his grievances, he uses the Gish gallop technique effectively, and believes that any drama including negative attention is better than no attention.
His natal chart makes some very strong aspects with the United States’ natal chart. He has a talent for bringing out the worst in people. ( his Pluto on USA North Node, his Sun/North Node on USA Mars /MC, his Jupiter/Chiron on USA’s Saturn/Juno and opposite USA’s Chiron, his Sun/ Moon/ Nodes Square USA’s Neptune, ***his Mercury conjuncts USA’s Sun, Jupiter, Venus and it is all squared by his Neptune***)
Because his Mercury is elevated and in conjunction with the country’s Sun, Jupiter, and Venus, the main steam media created him. He gets nonstop media attention, and the conjunction is squaring his Neptune, so he is good at lying and spreading disinformation and effectively using the Gish gallop strategy, and these aspects are a strong indicator of celebrity cult status. His Chiron is exactly on the country’s Saturn. If Chiron is wounded, it lashes out and wounds whatever it touches. Saturn is the country’s foundation. He appeals to those who harbor grievances. He is angry and wants revenge.
The Solar Chart: Quick Analyses ~ Bad health, more legal troubles
This chart indicates serious health issues with the Moon in opposition to Saturn, and they both are squaring his Sun/Mercury/Venus. There’s also a nasty Mars squaring both the solar chart’s Pluto and his own natal chart’s Pluto. This can be violent, with uncontrollable desires, emotions, and impulses. It’s a dark aspect.
Progressed chart: Quick analysis: Physical and mental deterioration and a desire for unlimited power. There is nothing that he won’t do in the pursuit of winning.
His progressed chart is very weak. His progressed ascendant with his Moon is square Saturn/ Pluto on the 10th house cusp this shows bad physical and mental health. It also is an indicator of power struggles, the desire for power, and the misuse of power. Saturn in the 9th house shows he is having legal troubles ( that’s an understatement). But, also he hopes to rely on the courts to help him.
He continues to have success with the media because his progressed Mercury is elevated making very nice aspects to his Venus/Jupiter. He also has allies who are extremely wealthy and are donating huge sums of money to help get him elected.
When looking at his progressed chart with the USA’s chart, two significant things stand out. The USA’s Mars and his Uranus are Exactly conjunct on the 10th house, and both square the country’s Neptune. This is a violent, explosive, and deceitful combination.
The 2024 Aries Ingress Chart with Trump’s Natal:
Quick Analysis: A Violent Play for Power That Could Succeed
This chart is alarming. Trump’s Mars is elevated on the ingress chart’s 10th house and is opposite the ingress chart’s Mars; this is a very aggressive aspect. It indicates a person willing to go to great lengths to win. The ingress chart’s Mars makes favorable aspects to both his natal Sun and Moon. The astrologers who predicted Trump would win thought this combination of aspects indicated that he would prevail.
Not only that, but the ingress chart’s Moon is a few degrees from Trump’s Pluto. This is a shady, manipulative aspect that can also indicate violence. Once again, the media is seen helping him with his Mercury, making trines to the ingress Venus. Trump makes them a lot of money. Trump’s Vesta is exactly on the ingress chart’s Neptune. This is a well-known aspect of large thefts and an indicator of a conman.
Election Day 11/5/24 with Trump’s chart
Quick analysis: Repeating strategies like the last time he ran. This time more bullying and willingness to do whatever is necessary to win including violence, deceit, and manipulation. Over the top in every way possible.
Many states have been voting for weeks, so I decided to run the election day chart for polls closing in Hawaii.
Trump has two significant connections with the election day chart; transiting Jupiter in Gemini (detriment and retrograde in motion) is on Trump’s Sun /North Node, also making a nice trine to his own Jupiter in Libra (also retrograde). I think that this shows that he is overconfident. Jupiter can be exaggerative, especially in its detriment and retrograde. He believes he has allies (planets in his 11th house) who are willing to help him. He also has some allies (planets in his 12th house) that are plotting against him. If Trump wins, he would be showcased, but Vance would be in charge.
His Ascendant and his Mars are in a tight square to the malefic fixed star Algol and the transiting Uranus. He intends to bully anyone who gets in his way. This Summer, I wrote about how Trump and his running mate Vance, both had significant connections to the fixed star Algol. Remember that Algol represents the severed head of Medusa, poorly aspected Algol can lead to bad outcomes.
Vice President Kamala Harris’s Strengths and Weaknesses as a candidate for President
Kamala’s Natal Chart with the USA’s chart:
Quick analysis: Her natal chart makes very nice aspects to the USA’s July 4th chart and even better connections to the July 8th chart. Unfortunately, she doesn’t make good aspects with USA’s Mercury; she has a contentious relationship with the media. While Trump’s charts repeatedly show that the media favors him.
Harris’s natal Mars, an important indicator of winning, is exactly 60 degrees from the USA’s Mars. This is good. While her Sun is part of a grand air trine with her Saturn and the USA’s Mars. Another good sign. Mars and Saturn in good aspects are indicative of leadership. Also, a very auspicious aspect is that the USA’s Mars is on her ascendant and her North Node. These aspects make a strong argument that she would be a good leader. I thought I would experiment and add an asteroid named America to the USA’s chart. VP Harris has her Sun exactly on the asteroid called America!
Kamala’s Solar Chart
Quick analysis: Her Solar chart is a hot mess. It makes sense that the chart would be challenging. It’s tough to run for president. If she wins, she will have to deal with enormous difficulties. It is unlikely that Trump and his MAGA supporters will accept the election results. Trump plans on challenging the election results using a multi-pronged approach which will drag through courts, possibly we could see another Jan 6 fiasco. There will undoubtedly be violence. Her Solar chart illustrates the extreme racism and sexism she has had to deal with. The press has been critical of her every move while they happily sane-wash her opponent.
Her Solar chart has her Sun involved in a cardinal T square. When this happens you can feel frustrated. Mars is in Cancer, a weak placement, opposite Pluto at 29 Capricorn, at an anarectic degree, is considered fatalistic. Her Sun squares both. T-squares need to be constantly managed. The Mars opposite Pluto is a big red flag of racist, misogynist, mud-slinging. The Solar Mars is exactly on the USA’s Mercury; the mainstream media is a huge thorn for her. The USA’s Mercury is opposite Pluto, which indicates how entrenched the media is in its sexism and racism. There is one bright spot in the Solar chart in the USA’s chart: USA’s Moon makes a grand air trine with her Sun, Moon, and Jupiter.
Progressed Chart
Quick analysis: Her progressed chart has positive and powerful aspects. Her progressed chart is making positive connections to both the nation’s July 4 and election day charts.
The Progressed chart’s Moon, in its ruling sign, is making a grand water trine with Chiron in Pisces and Neptune in Scorpio. An elevated Jupiter in Taurus, in the 10th house, is sextile, the Moon in Cancer and making trines to the bringer of change, Uranus, the transformer Pluto, and Mars, all in the get-it-done sign of, Virgo!
Progressed chart with Election Day Chart
WOMEN ARE PISSED!
All the female planets: Moon and Venus, the asteroid goddesses, and Lilith and Eris, are making strong aspects. The Moon, Venus, and Ceres are all Out Of Bounds. Women are angry, and we will see a huge turnout of women voting for her.
Kamala’s chart with the 2024 Aries Ingress chart
Quick analysis: I disagreed with other astrologers who thought that Trump’s chart made better aspects to the Ingress chart. His aspects were intimidating, violent, and manipulative. While Harris’ aspects are more grounded and likable.
Her Saturn is conjunct with the ingresses Mars. Then her natal Moon and her natal Sun make exact aspects to the ingress Mars. These are signs of leadership and organizational skills.
Kamala’s chart with Election Day Chart
Quick analysis She wins but Trump tries to bully his way back into the White House by any means necessary.
I am concerned that election day’s chart has Mars in very early Leo making an out-of-sign opposition with Pluto in Capricorn at the very problematic 29th anarectic degree.
This opposition has Mars in her third house ( the press, communications) and her 9th house ( the courts, judges). Trump will insist he won and will challenge the results. The Election Day chart has a huge stellium sitting in her 11th house with Neptune in late Pisces with North Node/Fortuna in Aries and Chiron and Eris in later Aries. The 11th House represents friends and allies. However, it is also the house that represents members of Congress. The Vice President’s allies will be fighting for her in Congress and she will be fighting in the Courts. I think it’s a battle she can win.
America, girl you are in danger!
Trump plans on trying to win by encouraging his MAGA cult to bully, harass, and spread misinformation. He plans on disrupting the election process in every possible way: DEMOCRACY IS IN DANGER.
Election Day’s Mars is in opposition to Pluto is a huge red flag for violence and intimidation. The July 4th progressed chart for the USA has a progressed Mars that is retrograde. Also, the nation is having its Chiron return in Aries, a sign ruled by Mars. Toxic masculinity is having a moment. Trump’s astrological signatures of intimidation and volatile rhetoric have been able to elevate the grievances of misogynists and racists into domestic terrorists. This time, his attack on democracy will be better coordinated. He will contest the election result. Mars will be going retrograde in Leo on December 6th. The electoral votes are supposed to be submitted by December 11th. Part of the plan to disrupt the election results is to interfere with states submitting their electoral votes. On January 3rd the Mars retrograde will make its second opposition to Pluto. This time, Pluto will have entered Aquarius. We could have another repeat of violence and electoral MAGA shenanigans on January 6th!
The Mars will not go direct until February 24, 2025. I will be taking a deep dive into the aftermath of the election, so be sure to visit again.
