????The 2024 Republic of China presidential election, also known as the 16th presidential and vice presidential election, will be held on January 13, 2024. It will be held concurrently with the 11th legislative election, forming the 2024 Republic of China presidential, vice presidential, and legislative election.

????Part 1: Presidential Election

Potential candidates from the two major parties

Democratic Progressive Party

??????Lai Ching-te: the current Vice President of the Republic of China, chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party, former Premier of the Executive Yuan, and former Mayor of Tainan City.

Date of birth: October 6, 1959, time unknown, New Taipei City.

Kuomintang (KMT) (Presidential candidate not yet finalized):

Potential candidates:

??????Eric Li-luan Chu: the current chairman of the Kuomintang, former Mayor of New Taipei City, former Vice Premier of the Executive Yuan, and former Magistrate of Taoyuan County. He participated in the 2016 Republic of China presidential election and the 2020 KMT presidential primary.

Date of birth: June 7, 1961, time unknown, Taoyuan.

??????Hou You-yi: the current Mayor of New Taipei City, former Deputy Mayor of New Taipei City, and former Director-General of the National Police Agency under the Ministry of the Interior.

Date of birth: June 7, 1957, time unknown, Chiayi.

The rising sign of the 2023 Aries ingress chart for Taiwan is in Pisces, which is a mutable sign with a duration effect of 6 months. As the 2024 Taiwan presidential election is happening in January 2024, we need to examine the Libra ingress chart for Taiwan to predict the election outcome.

The 10th house represents the ruling party, and the 4th house represents the opposition party.

The ruling party's significator , Mars, falls into the 9th house of Libra, which corresponds to the Mars placement at 19 degrees 46 minutes in Libra in the birth chart of DPP presidential candidate, Lai Ching-te, who was born on October 6th, 1959.

With Mars in Libra and in the 9th house, and the Libra's ruling planet, Venus, in the 7th house, it may suggest that the DPP candidate is heavily influenced by foreign powers. It may also symbolize the hope of future Democratic Progressive Party candidates to reconcile and confront conflicts with China through diplomatic means.

The presidential candidate for the Kuomintang (KMT) has not yet been announced, but based on popular choices, the North Node of Hou You-yi is at 18 degrees 23 minutes Scorpio, which aligns perfectly with the ingress chart's Midheaven. Hou's Venus is also in a trine aspect with the ingress chart's Saturn, so I believe he is likely to be the KMT candidate. Looking at another popular candidate, Eric Chu's birth chart, we can see that his Venus is conjunct the ingress chart's Mars and Uranus, his South Node is conjunct the ingress chart's Saturn, and his Moon is in a square aspect with the ingress chart's Moon. Additionally, his Venus is in a sextile aspect with the ingress chart's Saturn.These testimonies suggest that he may become a presidential candidate for the Kuomintang (KMT), but there are many difficulties.

The Moon in the Libra ingress chart represents the voters and is located at 6 degrees 1 minute in Capricorn, forming a conjunction with Lai Ching-te's Saturn at 1 degree 14 minutes in Capricorn in his natal chart.

Saturn, as the ruling planet of the first house, represents the people or the country as a whole in the ingress chart and is in a sextile aspect with Saturn in Lai Ching-te's natal chart, which indicates a strong potential for success.

On the other hand, both Hou You-yi and Eric Chu have harmonious aspects between their Venus of natal charts and the Saturn in Pisces of the ingress chart. With Venus in Pisces at an exalted position, it suggests that they both have great ambitions for this election.

The Democratic Progressive Party was established on September 28th, 1986 at 6:05 PM in Taipei.

The Venus of the DPP's founding chart is in conjunction with the Midheaven of ingress as well as the founding chart Jupiter in trine aspect to Midheaven of ingress, and the Moon in the ingress chart is in conjunction with the DPP's Midheaven.

I'm not sure about the exact founding time of the Kuomintang.

Based on the ingress chart, Uranus is in the 4th house, representing the KMT's internal divisions. Interestingly, the KMT had two candidates with the same birthday and both born under the sign of Gemini, which symbolizes different minds and ideas. It seems difficult for a party that lacks unity to win an election.

According to astrology, although many people are optimistic about the Kuomintang's comeback, there seems to be a higher possibility of the ruling party continuing to hold power.

????Part 2: Legislative Yuan Election

The Legislative Yuan is represented by the 11th house. The 5th house represents the 2022 Taiwan local elections held on November 26, 2022.

Mercury is in Virgo in the 8th house (which is also the derivative 5th house of the 4th house). The Kuomintang won the majority of seats in the 2022 local elections.

Jupiter is in Taurus in the 4th house ( 5 degrees cusp principle). Mercury and Jupiter form a mutual applying trine aspect, because Jupiter is retrograde, indicating that the Kuomintang may win the majority of seats in the upcoming Legislative Yuan election.

Chart:

2023 Libra Ingress, set for Taipei

Based on this Libra ingress chart, Venus is very powerful. Venus represents peace. Venus is the ruling planet of Mars (the 10th house ruler), Venus is the exaltation ruler of Saturn (the 1st house ruler), Venus is the triplicity ruler (day) of the Moon (voters) , and Venus is in the 7th house. The 7th house represents our partners or enemies. The 7th house represents the West. Mainland China is west of Taiwan. On the national day chart of mainland China (October 1), Mars and Pluto are in Leo.

I pray ???? that the Beijing government will not have an overly hasty response to Taiwan's presidential election scheduled for January 13, 2024. If mainland China has a very obvious reaction or military coercion, the chance of the Democratic Progressive Party candidate being elected will increase significantly.

I often feel that the Beijing government is the best and most powerful campaign assistant for the Democratic Progressive Party. ????

???????????? World peace.

Presidential elections are scheduled to be held in the Republic of China (Taiwan) on January 13, 2024. Incumbent President Tsai Ing-wen of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), who was reelected in 2020, is ineligible to seek a third term. The winner of the 2024 presidential election is scheduled to be inaugurated on May 20, 2024. (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Taiw ... l_election)

Therefore, the ingress chart of Aries in 2023 will inevitably become someone's accession chart.

??????Part 1: Aries Ingress Chart 2023 set for Taipei
In this ingress chart of Aries, the most notable aspect is the Moon conjunct Neptune in the 1st House, forming a square aspect with Mars in the 4th House.

The Moon represents ordinary people, women in general, the masses, while Neptune symbolizes chaos and weakness, and Mars is often associated with violence or "energy."

The 1st House represents the entire nation and its residents, while the 4th House represents the country's territory and the opposition to the ruling party, including the opposition in the parliament. A malefic in this house may afflict the government through its opposition to the 10th House.(https://www.skyscript.co.uk/ingresses.html)

Starting from May 31, 2023, Taiwanese society (with the political arena as the starting point) witnessed the outbreak of the #MeToo movement.

On May 31, 2023, Chen qianrou, a former member of the Democratic Progressive Party's Women's Department, posted on Facebook, revealing that she had been sexually harassed by director Xue Zhaohui during a car ride. When she sought help from the then director of the Women's Department, Xu Jiatian, no assistance was provided, leading to the emotional and psychological trauma of the party member who eventually left. The Democratic Progressive Party issued an apology, stating that an investigation into the incident had been conducted. On June 1, DPP Chairman Lai Ching-te announced that Vice Secretary-General Xu Jiatian had submitted her resignation and apologized to the victim. On the same day, Tsai Mulin, the Deputy Secretary-General of the Ministry of Labor, who was involved in a gender equality incident, and Lin Nangu, the Deputy Director of the DPP Organization Department, also submitted their resignations. After the incident, the #MeToo effect led to a large-scale wave of women coming forward in Taiwanese society, extending to the Kuomintang, Taiwan People's Party, New Power Party, as well as the media industry, campuses, cultural circles, and social organizations, exposing numerous individuals involved in sexual harassment or even sexual misconduct and violations, with a wide range of implications. (Source: https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/＃MeToo_(臺???)#2023年)

The situation is ongoing, and yesterday's news reported that a former Polish diplomat stationed in Taiwan was also accused of sexual assault.

This incident may not have a direct connection to the elections in January 2024. However, we can observe relevant signs from the Aries entrance chart of 2023.

Mars is opposing the 10th House in the 4th House, and the Moon and Neptune are forming a square aspect with the 10th House in the 1st House.

Chart Almutem is Jupiter and Venus.
The most prominent temperament in the Chart Temperament is Sanguine. However, Phlegmatic should not be completely ignored.
Therefore, looking at the overall social atmosphere, it appears positive, optimistic, and upward, yet also composed and calm.

In other words, if a political party or its candidate can bring happiness, hope, peace, positivity, and tranquility (calmness) to the voters, then that party and candidate have a chance of winning the presidential election.

??????Part 2: Comparing Candidates' natal charts with the Aries Ingress Chart

Now that the official candidate lists for each party have been confirmed:

Democratic Progressive Party (DPP): Lai Ching-te, born on October 6, 1959.

Kuomintang (KMT): Hou You-yi, born on June 7, 1957.

Taiwan People's Party: Ko Wen-je, born on August 6, 1959.

Part 2 will be written when time and feelings permits. ????

Thanks for your extensive research on the Taiwan presidential election.
I did not delve extensively into the candidates as we do not have birthtimes for them but in Uranian astrology, the formula for Kings and Presidents is found with Sun/Kronos midpoint, sum and sensitive point. Solar Arcs for timing.

Looking up at the Libra Ingress 2023, the midpoint Sun/Kronos is at 22 Leo 45 squaring Uranus which translates as 'sudden interference of the power of the state'.
In recent history, 2 US Presidents have had this combination when they were elected.
George W. Bush who had to face 09/11 and engaged in a war with Iran as it was in the Orion constellation (conjunction), the warfare part of the sky.
Joe Biden who dealt with the assault on the Capitol (opposition).

Just a quick look at the charts you have posted.

Cheers!

You're right!

Sometimes unexpected events directly impact the outcome of presidential elections.

For example, the March 19 shooting incident, which occurred the day before the 2004 Taiwan presidential election, is widely believed to have directly influenced the election's outcome!

Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_19_ ... g_incident

I have some understanding of midpoints, and Reinhold Ebertin's book "The Combination of Stellar Influences" is a great introductory resource.

While I know Urannian Astrology, I haven't used the hypothetical planets in my practice.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Perhaps next time, I can consider incorporating midpoints into my analysis.

Part 2: Bi-wheel charts

According to the Aries ingress chart, we can see that the female vote and young voters are extremely important (the Moon represents woman, and the Moon rules the 5th house - young people).

Besides that, Mars-related issues are also worth paying attention to. Mars itself represents war and competition. Mars rules the 9th house, representing public opinion from abroad. Mars rules the 2nd house representing economy. Mars belongs to the working class and labor class. Issues like labor welfare will affect the election result. (Because Mars is in the 4th house opposite the 10th house)

Democratic Progressive Party:

??????Aries Ingress vs Lai Ching-te (time unknown)


There are several connections between Lai Ching-te's natal chart and the Aries Ingress chart. Lai's South Node is conjunct the Aries Ingress Sun, and his Mars is in opposition to the Aries Ingress Jupiter. Meanwhile, Lai's Moon and Jupiter form a square aspect with the Aries Ingress Saturn, Moon, and Neptune. Lai's Jupiter also forms a trine aspect with the Aries Ingress Sun.

In light of current events, Lai Ching-te needs to be cautious and careful in responding to the recent #MeToo movement. Additionally, Lai's Neptune conjunct the Aries Ingress South Node in the 8th house indicates that he needs to handle issues of corruption, bribery, and deception within the national civil service system with caution.

Lai's North Node, Sun, Mars, and Mercury (according to the 5-degree rule of house cusps, Mercury has already entered the 8th house) are in the Aries Ingress chart 7th house, indicating that his foreign policy (especially towards mainland China) may prioritize peace, diplomatic means, cooperation, and perhaps discussions on economic cooperation (Mercury in the 8th house). These planets are also in a trine aspect with Mars in the 4th house, which represents war and conflict. This suggests that it may reduce the possibility of war outbreaks and alleviate domestic fears of war.

However, some people believe that a trine aspect may make bad things go more smoothly. Therefore, we need to carefully observe what kind of reaction Lai Ching-te's political views will provoke from mainland China.

If Lai Ching-te's political views do not result in strong protests and backlash from mainland China, it may indicate that his views have a calming effect on war. This increases Lai Ching-te's chances of winning the presidency.

??????Aries Ingress vs. Democratic Progressive Party's Establishment Chart (time source from the internet)
The Democratic Progressive Party's Moon forms a trine aspect with the Aries Ingress Sun. The Sun, South Node, and Mercury are also in the 7th house, representing the DPP's relationship with mainland China, which has a significant impact on whether the DPP remains in power. In the DPP's establishment chart, the Jupiter/Uranus= Moon (with 3 degrees orb allowed) indicates a sudden stroke of good luck, a sudden reversal of fortune, and an optimistic mood and intuition.

Based on these chart analyses, the DPP and its nominated presidential candidate seem to have a good chance of staying in power. Mainland China's attitude towards Taiwan appears to be a crucial factor affecting the DPP's ability to remain in power.

Chinese Nationalist Party （Kuomintang）:

To be continued, ????

I don't want to open another topic for now; I prefer consolidating my predictions in one place , thank you.If the administrator believes that another topic should be created, it will be up to the administrator to decide.

The querent for the following horary astrology is not me; it is another Taiwanese diviner who uses the Chinese I Ching divination. I trust her motivations for asking this quesiton, and I will analyze this chart using Western horary astrology.

Querent: Female, profession/hobby - Chinese I Ching diviner

Question: How is the election situation for Lai Ching-te (William Lai) in the upcoming 2024 Republic of China (Taiwan) presidential election?

Time:Aug 31 2023 ,6:16PM,

Place:Tai-pei /Taiwan(on-line)

From an astrological perspective, Jupiter represents Lai Ching-te (William Lai). Jupiter symbolizes virtues, which align with "德" (virtue) in Chinese.

During the time of the question, Jupiter being in a state of station motion suggests a situation where progress has temporarily halted. This often symbolizes a period of waiting or uncertainty about the future, which does bear some similarity to the concept of "漸" (gradual) (the results of her I Ching divination.）and implies the need for patience while awaiting changes or developments.

Later on, Jupiter goes retrograde instead of direct, and this retrograde motion presents two potential scenarios:

1. Lai Ching-te may not become the president.
2. The current ruling party represented by Lai Ching-te, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), could continue in power.

During this retrograde period, the interactions with other planets by Jupiter become crucial, as they could influence the outcomes of these two possibilities.

I noticed that after Jupiter goes retrograde, it forms a precise sextile aspect with the Moon, with the Moon in Pisces and Jupiter in Taurus, indicating a harmonious alignment and reception between them. The Moon typically represents voters and the general public, suggesting that voters may choose Lai Ching-te.

The Moon also symbolizes females, so there's a possibility that Lai Ching-te might choose a woman as his vice president.

In addition to the Moon, Jupiter also forms a favorable trine aspect with another retrograde planet, Mercury. Mercury is positioned in the 7th house (10th-10th), which symbolizes the presidential position that Lai Ching-te is competing for.

These astrological indicators suggest a high probability of Lai Ching-te winning the presidential election in 2024.

We can also glean insights into the future policy direction of the 2024 presidential candidate through Mercury.

Mercury is located in Virgo, a sign ruled by Mercury itself, symbolizing communication and expression. Additionally, Mercury appears in the 7th house, which typically pertains to diplomacy and cooperative relationships. It's worth noting that Mercury in the horary chart aligns with Saturn in Virgo in the chart of the founding of the Republic of China. This combination suggests that while Taiwan's international standing may be relatively weak, it can engage in diplomatic negotiations and advocate for its interests through intelligent discourse, strong data, and solid evidence.

Mars in Libra, also positioned in the 7th house, further indicates that the future president's policies may focus on resolving conflicts through diplomatic means, avoiding further escalation into warfare.

Mercury is being under the sunbeams, and the election results may be disputed, secretive, or undermined by foreign covert forces.

The election day is getting closer and closer now.

I have an idea. Should we look at the Ingress chart closest to the election day?

The 10th house and its ruling planet in the Ingress chart describe the situation of the ruling party, whether it's favorable or unfavorable. It also describes “the future situation” of the ruling party, meaning that candidates who align more with the descriptions of the 10th house and its ruling planet in the Ingress chart are more likely to be elected?

Let's wait for the election results and use this as an experiment.

Presidency of Tsai Ing-wen:

The presidency of Tsai Ing-wen began on 20 May 2016 when Tsai Ing-wen was inaugurated as the president of Taiwan.

However, the election day was on 16 January 2016, so we need to look at the Aries and Capricorn ingress charts for the year 2015.

Key policies and actions during her tenure include:

• Green energy

• Promotion of national languages

• Legalization of same-sex marriage and LGBTQ rights

• Tense relations between Taiwan and mainland China

You can find more information about her presidency on the [Wikipedia page] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidenc ... ai_Ing-wen



Presidency of ???:

The 2024 Taiwanese presidential election is scheduled to take place on 13 January 2024.

Mars in tense aspect with Neptune (Neptune on the Ascendant) appears in the Aries and Capricorn ingress charts for the year 2023.

As the chart shows, after the autumn equinox, the opposition party's strength begins to diverge and become less unified. (Libra Ingress - Uranus in the 4th House). After the winter solstice, I have concerns that the clouds of war's apprehension will cast a shadow over the skies of the island of Taiwan. (Mars - Neptune).

I apologize for having posted too many articles and thoughts on this topic, indicating that my ideas and logic may not be fully matured.

I've recently come across another interesting phenomenon. I'd prefer not to include charts this time; the abundance of charts can be a bit overwhelming.

If you're interested in learning more details, you can refer to Wikipedia for additional information.

2024 Taiwanese presidential election

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Taiw ... l_election

The closing time for the presidential election voting day is 4:00 PM on January 13, 2024. The Moon in Aquarius precisely sextile to Venus in Sagittarius, while Mars in Capricorn from the 7th house opposes the Ascendant.

Comparing the natal charts of several candidates (birth dates sourced from Wikipedia without specific birth times) with the chart at the end of the voting day, I've observed some intriguing patterns:

Candidate 1: The natal Mars and Mercury in Libra aligns with the South Node in Libra of the chart at the end of the voting day.

Candidate 2: The natal South Node in Taurus aligns with the Uranus in Taurus of the chart at the end of the voting day.

Candidate 3: The natal Sun, Mercury and Uranus in Leo oppose the Moon in the chart at the end of the voting day.

Candidate 4: The natal North Node in Pisces aligns with Neptune in the chart at the end of the voting day.

I have suddenly realized the significance of this presidential election! This is because in 2023 Aries ingress chart, Pluto will be at 29 degrees Capricorn!

Some relevant historical events:

In March 1990, the Wild Lily student movement erupted, forming a consensus that the president should be elected by all citizens.

In April 1994, the Kuomintang held an extraordinary meeting of the Central Committee, passing the presidential direct election proposal.

From July 21, 1995, to March 23, 1996, the Taiwan Strait missile crisis occurred.

On March 23, 1996, the Republic of China held its presidential election. (The first time for a nationwide direct vote)
