Nice analysis Wei!
A good way to test knowledge and possible outcome.
As for U.S.A, the transiting Kronos/Hades conjunction over their natal Sun shows decaying power in ruling circles. Considering the age of the 2 candidates, the country needs a rejuvenation moving forward.
I will try to have a look this summer focusing on
Sun - Kronos - Aries Point as it relates to the candidates
Midpoint, Solar Arc and Transit

Thanks for sharing your view,

The natal chart analysis of Biden and Trump.

1. **Annual Profections**

- In 2020, Biden's annual profection placed the MC at 19 degrees 54 minutes of Aquarius, within the Venus term. The MC in profection, its antiscion (10 degrees 6 minutes of Scorpio), and its ruler Saturn favorably conjuncted the natal Mars. This year's profection is advantageous for Biden's presidential campaign.
- In 2020, Trump's annual profection placed the MC at 24 degrees 21 minutes of Cancer, also in the Venus term. It was conjunct with the natal combination of Saturn and Venus, with the natal Saturn debilitated in its fall. Additionally, the profection's MC ruler, the Moon, opposing the natal Mars, made this year's profection unfavorable for Trump's candidacy.
- In 2024, Biden's annual profection places the MC at 19 degrees 54 minutes of Gemini, within the Venus term, conjoining the star Rigel. The profection's MC ruler, Mercury, is in a square aspect with the natal Mars, while the counter-antiscion of Mercury ( 8 degrees 28 minutes of Scorpio) conjoins the natal Mars, suggesting challenges for Biden but with the capacity to manage them.
- In 2024, Trump's annual profection places the MC at 24 degrees 21 minutes of Scorpio, in the Mercury term. The profection Mars in Aquarius, ruling the MC, opposes the natal Mars in Leo, indicating potential challenges ahead.

2. **Solar Return**

- In 2020, Biden's Solar Return MC ruler, Mercury, conjoins the natal Mars, favoring his candidacy.
- In 2020, Trump's Solar Return MC ruler, Mars, conjoins Solar Return Neptune, unfavorable for his candidacy.
- In 2024, Biden's Solar Return MC ruler, Venus, in Libra, mitigates the deficiencies of the natal Venus and forms a sextile with the natal MC ruler Mercury, and the Solar Return Mars conjoins the natal Mercury, favoring his election.
- In 2024,Trump's Solar Return MC ruler, Jupiter, conjoins the antiscion of the natal Venus (4 degrees 16 minutes of Gemini), but being in detriment in Gemini, this is unfavorable for his candidacy.

3. **Directions**

- In 2020, Biden's MC directed to Saturn by opposition, weakening Saturn's influence by 2024.
- In 2024, Trump's MC is closer to Pluto, indicating potential polarizing outcomes.

4. **Solar Arc**

- From 2020 to 2024, Biden's Solar Arc MC ruler, Mercury, gradually approaches the antiscion of the natal Mars (17 degrees 35 minutes of Aquarius).
- From 2020 to 2024, the influence of Uranus in Trump's Solar Arc MC weakens, and Solar Arc Venus approaches the natal Jupiter, both favorable indicators for him.

Considering the above analysis, it appears that the Mercury-Mars connection, which played a pivotal role in Biden's election victory in 2020, is set to repeat in 2024, indicating the potential for his continuation as president. As of April 27, according to public opinion polls, Trump's approval rating exceeds Biden's. However, by June, following his birthday, significant shifts in his circumstances may occur, potentially leading to dramatic fluctuations. For instance, he may encounter various legal challenges, as suggested by the themes associated with the 7th sign in the annual profection.

‘A lot would have to go wrong for Biden to lose’: can Allan Lichtman predict the 2024 election?

Annual Profections

The conjunction of Profections' Venus (in Taurus) and Saturn with the natal MC, along with Jupiter, the ruler of Profections' MC, positioned in the 1st house of the natal chart.
Monthly Profections

The conjunction of Profections' MC with natal Saturn and Venus. Trump won the electoral votes but lost the popular vote.

MC directions

As the MC moves away from Venus and closer to Pluto, it indicates the progression towards the end of Trump's public image/career. Venus rules the MC in the natal chart, while Pluto represents death and endings.

Solar Return

The Solar MC in Aries conjuncts Solar Uranus, indicating potential changes in Trump's public image. Additionally, Solar Mars at 24 degrees 54 minutes Scorpio opposes the Midheaven. This suggests the possibility that Trump employed some form of provocation or engaged in self-destructive conflict, which could have disrupted his past image.

Solar Arc

Solar Arc Uranus in hard aspect to the natal MC suggests changes in profession. Trump transitioned from a businessman to a politician, surprising many.

The Solar Arc North Node conjuncts the Ascendant, enhancing his personal charm. However, as the gears of fate turn, the Solar Arc North Node has been moving farther away from the natal Ascendant, diminishing Trump's personal charm and momentum.

This was an immensely painful national experience for the United States, marked by the assassination of Senator Robert Kennedy, former Attorney General and Democratic presidential candidate, the assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., and subsequent nationwide racial unrest. The violence and bloody suppression at the Democratic National Convention held in Chicago in 1968, as well as widespread protests against the Vietnam War on campuses across the country, contributed to an atmosphere of intense turmoil surrounding the election.

The election also saw a significant effort from the third-party Independent Party, represented by former Alabama Governor George Wallace. Wallace, though often criticized for his promotion of racism, demonstrated himself as a formidable candidate by withdrawing from the Democratic Party to run independently. He became the last third-party candidate to win electoral votes from multiple states.

Richard Nixon, the Republican candidate who had previously lost the 1960 presidential election, and former Vice President of the United States, made a comeback to the race. Nixon ultimately defeated several heavyweight contenders within his own party to secure the Republican nomination.

Results

Richard Nixon, who had lost the 1960 presidential election, campaigned on the promise of restoring "law and order" and narrowly won the election, defeating Democratic nominee and incumbent Vice President Hubert Humphrey. Although Nixon won only about 500,000 more votes than Humphrey in the popular vote, similar to 1960, he secured 301 electoral votes, a majority, to win the election by a slim margin.

Hi Wei,

Ok. Interesting historical points. However, what is the connection you are trying to make with the US Presidential Election in 2024? I am not getting that from your post.

Thanks
