Facebook Predictions on the US Election.
Several astrologers have posted their predictions on the US election on their personal Facebook account or on a private Mundane astrology group. This can restrict access to these predictions. Secondly, there seems to be a technical problem trying to retain these links on the Skyscript main prediction page. As a solution I have decided to copy all these posts and reproduce the text here. For simplicity I have left out the charts that some of these astrologers provided. I have therefore created this thread purely to provide a link to these astrologers work on the main prediction page list. Hence this thread is locked as it was not created for commentary on these predictions here.

I have listed these astrologers by the date order they issued their prediction on Facebook.

Predicted Winner: Kamala Harris

‘’Election Day 2024... Commenting on an election months before the event is not something I have done... well, at least not since 2008. (A bit more about 2024 later.) Back in January 2008 I was asked to do an interview for a Milwaukee, WI cable TV station... with the subject being the 2008 election results. This was ELEVEN MONTHS prior to the election, and the 'field' had some 8-10 candidates, with Hillary Clinton as the then seeming front-runner.
I spent a month doing (and trying to 'digest') the candidates' charts. Yikes!! All had 'some' kind of 'indicators'... but then all *were* prospective candidates! ONE chart showed me something none of the others did... a 'significant' change in residence (4th House activation)... for Barak Obama. Obama was then mostly considered a 'dark-horse' candidate (pun intended - LOL!), and for him it would mean 'moving' from Illinois to Washington, DC for the next 4 (or more) years. So yes, I am 'on record' for calling Obama as the 'winner' for the 2008 election. (This can be confirmed through members of Milwaukee-NCGR.)
Here we are now - almost 6 months before this year's elections... and yes, I have 'peeked' at a chart for the election results. And again I see something that I find *VERY* striking!! The Moon and Venus are *THE* feminine planets of our solar system... and BOTH are OOB! And not 'just' OOB - but *FAR* OOB!! Moon 28+S, and Venus 25+S!! To my thinking, no matter which name(s) are on the ballot, it will be the WOMEN who will decide this election! And standing beside them will be men concerned about the health and LIVES of their wives, sisters and daughters....
From what I see, this will be more than 'just' a Blue Wave... it will be a BLUE TSUNAMI... on the local, state *and* presidential levels!! While I am no longer giving 'interviews' or lecturing regularly as I used to, I see those OOB planets as HIGHLY significant. Yes, there are some stressful aspects - notably Venus opposition Jupiter. I expect the election challenges will be "pre-prepared" and start showing up *very* shortly after polls close. Why? My expectation is that the 'trend' of the voting will be clearly apparent by the time the Central Time Zone states' polls close.
We still have MONTHS before the November 5 election (not to mention the results - and appeals? for the current criminal case against DJT... as well as a SCOTUS decision on 'Executive Privilege'). Time will tell. And at my age I probably won't be 'forecasting' bunches of future presidential elections - so IDC and I'll call it like I see it!!’’

Several months ago, I announced that I saw Trump winning the presidential election. The arrival of Kamala Harris hasn't changed my verdict, since she doesn't have such clear astrological indications of victory as Trump. I should point out that, for this prognosis, I only use aspect transits combined with midpoint transits. Here are the dominant themes I find for Trump with their justifications:
Here is Harris analysis based on her aspects and midpoints transits with convergent meanings:

loneliness: (♄ 135° ☉)(♄ 45° ☽)(♄=☉/☽)
quarrel: (☉=☿/♂)(♂=☉/☿)(☉/☿=♂)(♄ 180° ♅)(♇=☽/☿)

chance: (♀=☉/♃)(♀=☽/♃)(♃=♇/ A)

Kamala Harris is going through a phase of LONELINESS marked by a feeling of isolation and a tense environment where CONFLICTS and QUARRELS are intensifying. Interactions are dominated by disagreements that are worsening, generating a climate of IRRITABILITY and STUBBORNNESS, while AGITATION is gaining strength, exacerbating tensions. ILLUSIONs and distorted perceptions complicate her relationships and amplify CONFLICTS, reinforcing a sense of instability that makes any appeasement difficult. In this unpredictable environment, latent VIOLENCE is recurrent, reaching its peak in significant incidents. However, a certain LUCK allows her to escape the worst consequences of these events, offering her a temporary respite in a period otherwise marked by turbulence.

Note: Trump's jubilation is so great according to my analysis that it looks like the vote won't even be contested with a recount etc. In other words, his victory will probably be confirmed that very evening.

Astrological Forecast: Race For The White House: 2024
'Why Kamala Harris Will Not Become The Next President of the United States'

'WHY KAMALA HARRIS WILL NOT BEAT TRUMP IN THE 2024 GENERAL ELECTION'
In my astrological analysis of the November 5th General Election, I already predicted back in early February 2024 that Donald Trump will become the 47th President of the United States.
For more, see ->> https://globalastrologyblog.blogspot.co ... orecast-us...
As for Kamala Harris' attempt to become the Democratic nominee after Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race for the White House, I have found that her transits and secondary progressions are not in favor of her beating Donald Trump.
Harris, 59, who is experiencing her second Saturn Return and fifth Jupiter Return as she will turn 60 in October 2024 has one of the most adverse progressed aspects one can have:
Progressed Venus in exact square to her Progressed Saturn in tropical Pisces.
To be clear, a Progressed Venus square to Progressed Saturn is one of the depressing and very serious of progressed aspects.
This mutable progressed square from Venus in tropical Sagittarius and Saturn in tropical Pisces brings about a very difficult time of unpopularity, disapprovals, reversals, disappointments and potential separation through business, political and even marriage partnerships.
The progressed Venus-Saturn square causes period of doubts, emotional inhibitions, lack of self-confidence and self-torment.
It is not a good time to seek election to a political position as what is going to happen is that the voting public's opinion of the person, in this case, Harris, is one of cold and detached indifference.
What will end up happening is that Harris will come to feel a deep sense of abandonment and loneliness due to the strong mutable Progressed Venus-Saturn square.
Donors and political friends will have seemed to forget her and jump ship - eventually leading to a self-imposed restriction from all social functions and close attachments.
Moreover, on Sunday, July 21, 2024, when President Biden announced that he is dropping out of the election, transiting Mars entered tropical Gemini and opposed Harris' Progressed Venus.
The influence for Harris is one of extreme emotional reactions and jealousy towards her from other Democrats. Conflicts also come up in financial dealings as it is not favorable for important business dealings.
Sadly, this includes relationship between wife and husband, as mistrust and differing views can cause rifts in the marriage.
Transiting Uranus in tropical Taurus is also applying at 4°15' opposition and this is where major relationships are undergoing great changes - some of which Harris may see as threatening.
She will see Democrats in her party taking unfair advantage of her as new advisors, associates and 'friends' coming into her newfound political circle will attempt to take advantage of her by making inroads into her time and money.
Venus is always a female and with a transit from Uranus and a progressed square from Saturn (with transiting Saturn also in tropical Pisces) the emotions are highly erratic - a roller coaster ride as one minute Harris is on a emotional high and then after, plummets into emotional despair.
All of this takes a major toll on Harris' nervous system - including problems with the throat which causes issues in public speaking.
Harris' Progressed Mars in tropical Virgo, sitting in a stellium with her generational Uranus and Pluto in Virgo, rises on her Progressed Ascendant.
Her Progressed Mars in Virgo is adversely aspected to transiting Saturn in the opposite Sign of tropical Pisces.
Saturn, retrograde in tropical Pisces since June 29, 2024) and set to begin its first of three (3) world squares to Jupiter in tropical Gemini on August 19, 2024, which happens to be the first day of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
This shows that the Democratic convention from Aug. 19-22 will be a very nervous and very contentious affair for all involved.
'WHAT'S NEXT?
Still, the words “unprecedented” and “historic” have been used so often to describe the state of American politics in recent years that they have become a devalued currency - until Sunday, July 21st that is, when President Biden sent a lightning bolt through the country with his decision to drop out from the 2024 campaign.
This milestone will stand indelibly in the annals of politics, a sitting president pressured by fellow leaders of Biden's party to give up his candidacy.
The Democrats will surely fight over the new ticket, considering how Mercury will be retrograde in Virgo during the Democratic Convention, starting also on the same day - August 19th - that Jupiter and Saturn conduct their first of three world squares.
The Democratic National Convention, which begins August 19, 2024 in Chicago, will be Harris' moment to define herself as standing on her own. But much is still to be determined before delegates get there.
My astrological view is that there will be challengers to Harris for the nomination.
Many prominent Democrats, led by Biden, are doing as much as they can to anoint her, but it takes only 300 signatures from the roughly 3,900 delegates for others to offer themselves as potential nominees.
I expect plenty of conversations and schemes in many state capitals about whether to challenge Harris.
The dilemma for the Democrats now is how they elevate Harris in a process that is seen as open and fair, rather than a railroading, but does not devolve into chaos and division during the adverse planetary transits of August 2024.
Already Republicans are accusing Democrats of undemocratically forcing Biden to the sidelines - ignoring the will of the voters in the primaries who overwhelmingly said they wanted Biden as the nominee, though no one of stature stood up to oppose him.
Meanwhile, Trump and others, including throughout the media slammed Biden in the wake of his late announcement to drop out of the 2024 general election.
The Democrat conventions' rules committee will meet again soon to decide whether to proceed with a virtual roll call in early August, which some Democratic National Committee officials believe is necessary to assure that the nominee qualifies for all state ballots.
If that virtual roll call is held Harris could be the nominee weeks before the Chicago convention but that is not certain at all as there will be challengers to Harris.
Harris also will have to select a running mate, a process that normally takes months of careful vetting, the winnowing of a long list to a short list, and then the agonies for the nominee to pick from a few finalists the person they want as their closest confidant.
She must do that in a matter of weeks, along with everything else involved in accepting the baton from Biden and moving the campaign against Trump forward.
Some people Harris will be considering, mainly Democratic governors, could be among those who could challenge her for the nomination, if they dare take the risk, and some just might do just that.
Biden’s statement carried echoes of the surprise Sunday night announcement by President Lyndon B. Johnson back in March 1968 in which he said he would not seek or accept the Democratic nomination for another term.
Both Johnson and Biden said they did so to concentrate their full energies on the duties and responsibilities of being president for the duration of their term.
Johnson’s decision came in the middle of the Vietnam War, with student protests gaining power and Johnson’s position politically weakened.
Biden’s came in a year in which the already deep divisions in America’s politics have intensified.
When I was five years old, that solar year of 1968 was marked by extreme violence - including the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy.
This year, just a week ago, was marked by an assassination attempt against Trump, who was injured but survived.
When Democrats met in Chicago in August 1968 to pick Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey as their nominee, the Democratic convention was spoiled by violence and discord. I remembered seeing it on television.
And while few expect that to happen in August when Democrats convene - ironically again in the city of Chicago - but Biden’s withdrawal will make for a convention unlike any other in the modern era and for a autumn campaign that very few - even a few months ago - had any expectation of coming to pass.
Going through August, with its Mercury retrograde and Jupiter-Saturn mutable square, then, into September with its Saturn-Pluto semi-square and partial lunar eclipse, and then in October, transiting Jupiter will slow down just before stationing retrograde on October 9, 2024 (Rx) at 21-degrees tropical Gemini - before it reaches Harris' North Lunar Node in Gemini.
Harris, who experienced her fifth Jupiter Return in Gemini on May 3, 2024, will later come to regret attempting to take the White House in the wake of Joe Biden's dropping out of the 2024 general election.
And the Democrat Party will come to regret (for many years) all the shenanigans of 2019 and 2020 that caused their disaster in the first place.''

‘’A few days ago I received a message from a follower with questions about the upcoming US presidential election. This was my reply.
"Happy for questions any time. I did post on 16 March my analysis of the election, using Trump's chart and Biden's chart and looking at them on Election Day 5 November. I was assuming they would be the candidates, as we all were. I need to do an update post at some point. For now I'll say that I stand by everything I said, including that Trump would not win because women will rise up and turn the tide of the election. I spoke of a Moon mutual reception that day in Biden's chart, which could also describe what happened with the transition to Harris - woman. I would not change anything I said in that post, except that now I would remove Biden and add in Harris and my analysis of her. But my prediction for election results remains as I said then - that women will insure that Trump does not win and that the pro-woman, i.e. Democratic, candidate will. I think the margin will be substantial and unquestionable, although sadly not a landslide. On 17 July on FB I posted the link to my most recent SubStack article, "We Are Being Called", in which I describe that we people are being called to increase our knowledge and understanding and mature into higher consciousness and spirituality and to make better choices that benefit everyone. It relates to what I have been saying about the Neptune/Pisces transit and that we are in the beginnings of a new spiritual evolutionary cycle. We are being called, but we know that not everyone will respond right away, but most will over time. I think the election is a huge example, and that enough people will answer the calling to be bigger and better people, but not yet everyone. That's why I predict a substantial victory margin, but not a tidal wave. It's more of a big evolutionary step. I'll be doing more writing about it as we get closer to the time. I am sorry you have been concerned and maybe read some negative things. I try to view things as growth times, which always end beneficially even if they first appear negative or are difficult situations. I don't have the time to do as much writing as I would like, so I am always having to prioritize things. Right now, I hope tomorrow, I need to write about Mercury retrograde because it is on top of other serious retrogrades. My title will be "Do Not Panic", and I will be using the stock market dip as my example. The retrograde was late Sunday night and I've got to get that word out. I will do more about the election. Always open to questions and will do what I can to answer. For now I can just say to you that I will be doing more on the election in the near future. Hope you are having a great summer!"

‘’Mark Cullen suggests I post my prediction for the 2024 USA presidential election, and a brief synopsis of my method of prediction.
I looked at the natal charts of all viable USA presidential candidates since George Washington, and found a pattern of which aspects were in the charts of winners and losers, and which were not. I also found that election day transits compared to natal charts were irrelevant. A few other methods such as the new moon before election were significant, at least part of the time. I developed a list of favorable and unfavorable aspects, like scores in sports team standings. According to these methods, I have no choice but to predict Donald Trump will win. His score is at 9-4, while Kamala Harris scores 3-17. The scores tend to reflect which candidates can connect with and communicate well with voters, and which don't. So after Biden dropped out and Kamala became the presumed candidate, about a month ago from the date of this post, I posted my prediction on my website.
The candidate natal horoscope scores shift a bit after each election, because it is a largely empirical system, so each new election becomes part of the database. Last time the scores shifted further because I made the scoring of the aspects more direct and accurate. Kamala may gain 2 positive points if she wins, because her close Moon-Saturn sextile is now borderline positive. But I don't see any of her unfavorable aspects as borderline neutral.
Predictions by astrologers can be wrong, so I admit I may be wrong, and that it may well render my methods less credible. That's how it goes.’’

''In a response to Mark Cullen's question about my predictions for this election, I gave a brief explanation of my methodology and my assessment of the astrology that I think supports a Harris win. I'll post it here so that people don't have to scroll through a long thread of posts.
I don't rely on the natal charts of the candidates. The reason for that is, over the last 52 years of looking at elections, I've never seen definitive proof that the natal charts reveal much about winning and losing. At best it's maybe 50/50, but if people forecast correctly, it's probably because of the mathematical laws of probability and statistics, and less about the astrology.
Thus, I tend to use the charts for the two parties and the candidates' official acceptance of the nomination. I also look at the charts for US Independence and the US Gov't/Constitution chart. But here, with the limited format of a FB post, I'll just talk about the charts for the Parties and the acceptance of their nominations.
"...I thought I've made myself clear that I think Harris will win, but that it will likely be very close. Between the charts for the two parties and the charts for each candidate accepting their nominations, I think MAGA looks too extreme and Pluto-laden. The Republican party chart has a progressed Pluto/Asc conjunction at 1+ Taurus, with the prog. Asc moving to a conjunction with radix Pluto at 3 Taurus over the next two years. Transiting Pluto will be Rx conj. the Party's IC at 29 Capricorn on election day. Tertiary prog. Mars will also be at 29 Capricorn. Tr. Uranus is opposing the party's Moon at 25 Scorpio and this comes on the heels of their Uranus return in Taurus. Solar Arc Pluto is coming up to conjunct the radix Asc in the next two years as well. Then, tr. Saturn in Pisces is setting off the party's Saturn/Neptune square, and Saturn rules Capricorn on the 4th. These aspects just don't show me a winning candidacy.
It also tells me that DJT can't expand his base with IC ruler Saturn setting off the party's Saturn/Neptune square and Pluto conjunct the IC--he's very locked into or stuck with about 45% of the electorate, which just isn't enough to win, although he'll likely get close. The metrics involving demographics also don't show any expansion of his base, in fact it's shrinking among non-whites and women. No matter what happens from here on out until November, he won't be able to persuade any more people to vote for him.
I'm reminded that in 1964 when Saturn was also in Pisces setting off their SA/NE square, the Republican Party simply got stuck with an inadequate and shrinking base, and they just couldn't overcome that to win against LB Johnson. It feels that way this time, too. Although in the mid-60s tr. Uranus/Pluto in Virgo were also involved in setting off that radix SA/NE square. That also involved a tr. SA/PL opposition, so Pluto was playing a similar role with Saturn ruling the IC and this time Pluto is conj. the IC. This feels similar to the last couple months of the 1964 campaign.
If MAGA can't expand their base, and the Dems keep pushing traditional Republican values like 'patriotism', 'freedom', flying the Stars and Stripes and wearing camouflage (LOL!), and the economy stays vibrant, I just don't know how the MAGA Republicans can win with the Party's transits and progressions.
I don't pay much attention to national polls, but I do pay attention to the demographic data in state polls. After Biden stepped back on July 21, there was a massive spike in women registering to vote--a steeper and higher spike than right after the Court overturned Roe v Wade. Other indicators are pointing to Harris like the amount of people contributing small amounts of money to her campaign, raising her war chest to over $540 million dollars in one month--the highest amount in American political history. And the bulk of that is small, private donations, not big corporate donations. We know, if people donate their money, that's the way they'll vote. Her formal nomination chart has Jupiter/Mars conjunct in Gemini in the 2nd- (sign on the 3rd, though) but Mars rules her 8th H, so her war chest will be massive with Mars/Jupiter in the 2nd.
On the other hand, the Trump campaign is hemorrhaging money and they aren't taking that much in, not even close to the Harris campaign--but that speaks to being stuck with a static base. DJT's official nomination chart has N. Node and Chiron in Aries in the 2nd. Mars, ruler of the 2nd is conj. Uranus square Mercury Rx. So in the end, I think he's going to be a very wounded by his inability to compete for donations. He'll have enough to maintain his campaign (Venus is trine/sextile the Nodes in the 2nd/8th), but he's not going to have the war chest Harris does.
I could go on and on with these charts that I think tell us a lot more than the natal charts of the candidates."

Predicted Winner: Donald Trump (60%)/ Kamala Harris (40%)

''Who Wins?
The Harris Trump race can be considered a "Castle Besiegement," according to the celebrated physicist, astronomer and astrologer Guido Bonatti. I've gathered his rules thanks to Bernadette Brady. Below is the method and results.
I’ve drawn a chart for the opening of the polls for Washington, D.C., on election day (7.00am EST) , as that is the place of the “castle.” Trump is the attacker and is represented by Scorpio and Mars. Harris holds the White House and is represented by Aquarius and Saturn. Let’s review the rules to see if we can forecast who wins.
Castle Besiegement Rules:
1. The battle is between the ruler of the 1st house (attacker) and the ruler of the 4th house (defender/castle).
2. The 1st house represents the attacking army, the 4th house is the castle itself, and the 7th house is the army inside the castle.
3. The question is not "Does the army inside the castle get beaten?" but rather "Does the castle fall?”
4. The stronger planet between the rulers of the 1st and 4th houses succeeds.
5. If the ruler of the 1st is in the 4th, the castle has been taken.
It’s not.
1. Benefics (Jupiter, Moon, North Node, Venus) in the 4th house aid the castle.
No.
1. Malefics (Saturn, Mars, South Node) in the 4th house weaken the castle.
Saturn is in the 4th house.
1. The lord of the 1st house aspecting either the Ascendant or IC greatly aids the attacker.
No.
1. The lord of the 4th aspecting either the Ascendant or MC greatly aids the defender.
None applying.
1. If the lord of the 1st has any dignity in the degree of the 4th house cusp, it greatly aids the attacker.
Mars has no dignity in Aquarius.
1. If the lord of the 1st rules the 4th, the conflict is decided beforehand.
No.
1. Emphasis on the Moon and Nodes can indicate a draw or long-fought battle.
The Nodes are in applying sextiles to Mars indicating a tight race.
-------------
Field Battle Rules for Strength and Weakness (applicable to both Field Battles and Castle Besiegement):
1. Superior planets (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) are stronger than inferior planets (Mercury, Venus) or luminaries (Sun, Moon) in conflicts.
Both are Superior Planets
1. Zodiacal condition affects strength:
o Rulership and exaltation strengthen a planet
o Detriment and fall weaken a planet
o For benefics: Rulership/exaltation aids; detriment/fall hinders
o For malefics: Rulership/exaltation hinders; detriment/fall aids
None.
1. House position affects strength:
o Angular houses are the strongest
o Succedent houses are half as effective as angular
o Cadent houses greatly weaken a planet
Saturn is angular. Mars is cadent.
1. Applying aspects to benefics help; to malefics hinder.
Mars has applying aspects to the nodes
(I read this as neutral)
1. Reception between planets can transfer strength or weakness.
None
1. Retrogradation greatly weakens a planet.
Saturn is greatly weakened.
1. The planet to which the Moon last aspected aids the 1st house; the planet the Moon next aspects aids the 7th house (or 4th in Castle Besiegement).
Venus aids Mars. No contact.
The Moon will sextile Saturn.
1. Consider the future transits of the significator planets through the chart to gauge long-term outcomes.
Mars will trine Mercury and then the North Node.
Saturn will square Mercury.
1. A weaker Moon in the chart indicates a longer and more difficult battle.
The Moon is relatively weak.
10. These rules should be used in combination to determine which planet (and thus which side) is stronger in the conflict.
The results:
Trump/Mars is greatly weakened in a cadent house. Venus aids Mars (Venus represents the army of the Castle); she will trine the MC. Mars to trine Mercury and then the nodes.
Harris/Saturn is weakened with Saturn in the 4th as a malefic. But it is angular in the 4th house. Saturn is greatly weakened as it is retrograde. The Moon will sextile Saturn. Saturn will square Mercury.
With the Moon weak and the Nodes configured as part of a kite pattern, the battle will be tight.
Conclusion:
It’s a judgment call, but I have to give it to Mars/Trump. I'm weighing retrograde Saturn as the deciding factor.

Forecast: Trump 60 percent. Harris 40 percent.''

I decided to participate again this year. With that intention, instead of using mundane technics, I casted an horary chart. The question was: "What are the characteristics of the next U.S. president?"

Horary casted on May 8, 2024 at 11:55:45 AM Tehran, Iran.
The Tayer of the question was simply the Facebook notification of Marc's announcement while I was also eager to answer the question so it was very clear and I considered it valid.

(Tayer is a term for the sign, omen or permission to cast a horoscope to ensure that there is a connection between astrologer, chart and question)

The answer to the question was also quite clear. The chart very clearly pointed to Trump!
The ascendant is Leo, which is Trump's ascendant. The Part of Fortune is in the ascendant. The Sun, which rules Trump's ascendant, is in the Midheaven, and Jupiter is exactly on Trump's Midheaven.
On the other hand, Biden's ascendant was in the 4th house of end, dead and loose. (I've corrected Biden's ascendant to Scorpio, but most Western astrologers consider it to be early Sagittarius.)

Mars, which rules Biden's ascendant, is in Aries in the 8th house, separated from retrograde Pluto, which symbolizes power. Let's not forget what Pluto, at 25 degrees Capricorn, did to Trump (refer to the previous election).
Later note: On that time Biden didn't set back and Harris was not in the case. However, By the second review we can see that Mar's Separation from Pluto is exactly the separation of Biden from Power and Scorpio on the 4th Cusp also confirms his Scorpio Ascendant.''

2024 Election Prediction
The election day of Nov 5 has a violent aspect of #Mars opp #Pluto that brings obsessive demands/action starting near October 28 to a few days after the votes are still being counted. There is a nice aspect between #Jupiter and #Venus that points to fairness and optimism. The third important aspect is #Sun trine #Saturn that points to stability and known habits like vote counting.

For #Trump he has a difficult period of Mars transits from mid-September to the end of October. He is likely to be steaming about things he feels are unfair to him but watch Oct 6-7 when his anger boils over and mistakes are made. This Mars opp Pluto falls on Trump’s #Venus - #Saturn. More than likely, Trump will be directing his MAGA supporters to come to his defense. During the election period, tUranus will be squaring his nMars that points to his frustration and the ending of his campaign.

For Harris, she needs to watch out for attacks against her starting Oct 6-7 but the worst period will be from October 28 to several days after the election when votes are still being counted. Those violent aspects hit her #Moon and #Sun, so it will be directed at her and be very personal. Overall, she has tJupiter-Venus on her Ascendant that favors her. tSaturn is in her 9H that points to her rise to power and promotion.
Harris will be the winner of the popular vote but the electoral college could be another matter. Gerrymandering and voter suppression are in play. In 2020 there were protests at counting centers. Expect it again. The transits lean in Harris’ favor but there will be a struggle to get elected.

''Observations and Predictions on the 2024 Election
The methods I will be using are traditional methods for making annual predictions using Profections, Directions/Distributions and the Solar Return. The Distributions are a type of primary direction that entails directing the bounds within a sign to a planet, angle or Lot of interest along with the various rays (“aspects”) of the planets that are contained within the bounds. For those unfamiliar with this technique, simply imagine the bounds that appear in each sign moving clockwise while the rest of the chart remains still, as if you were turning a concentric dial like the ones sometimes found on the control knobs of old stereo receivers. As you rotate the bounds they will align the different planetary rulers to new planets and angles and this represents changes in time lord rulership for those places. This is the same movement that occurs every day as the bounds and signs on the ecliptic move past the horizon and onwards towards the MC and DC, only it has been time scaled to approximate the years of a person’s life. I will be using the term “Divisor” (aka Distributor) to refer to the bounds and the planet ruling it, and “Partner” to refer to the planet(s) whose rays (aspects) have been encountered.

Most people are familiar with profecting the ascendant, but profections are fundamentally a way of counting years and can be applied to any planet, angle or Lot in the chart. In this study I will be profecting 3 things for each candidate: 1) The Sun 2) The MC and 3) The ascendant. I chose these because they are the three places that seem to be so central to winning the office of POTUS. There was also some deliberation over whether it would be better to profect the rulers of each place, but I did not have time to do those and make comparisons. I have decided to present all the raw data for each Profection and Distribution along with my observations so that those who have an interest in this technique can easily follow and add their own thoughts. Below is an example of the format the data will be presented in along with an explanation of each entry beside it and some observations. This is DJT’s data for the 2016 election and I have included the entire set of profections so that we can see exactly what a winning set looked like. This should be helpful when comparing to the 2024 set.

The houses will be read in tropical whole sign along with quadrant cusps using Alcabitus. The solar returns were cast for the birth place and, if necessary they will be compared with the relocated return. The profection years will be counted in whole signs.
Some notes on house topics. I read the house topics largely from the earliest Greek definitions according to Robert Schmidt’s translations. Many of them are the same as modern topics but there are some important differences. I do not read the 7th as an “enemy” house. I read enemies from 6thand 12th when appropriate. I read the 7th as a place where the native and/or their works are fading away, diminishing in strength and headed toward obscurity (see Biden’s solar return Moon on the DC for the current year and consider it in the context of what happened to him). I read the 3rd and 9thas houses representing high authority and/or positions of, which is of course important for an election analysis. I read the 11th as the place for all manner of support the candidate gets, such as voters or campaign patronage. This would especially include any biased preferment coming from the SCOTUS or any of the other high courts. I also observe derivative houses, mainly to the MC for this analysis. This means the 7th can be the 10thplace (upper square) from the MC and the 6th can be the fortunate upper trine. For an excellent study on how these concurrent places work together, see Hillary Clinton’s chart and notice how her 6th house planets function in a positive way for career, yet show a high potential for health issues.
Reference Example for DJT (2016):
Sun Profection (2016): (the planet or angle being profected)
Profection Year: 11H (Ari) (the profection year and the sign it comes to)
LOTY: Mars (the ‘lord of the year’ = the planet ruling the profected sign)
SR Position: 24 Sco (the solar return position of the LOTY)
Sun Divisor: Mars(Leo 24-29) w/Mars (con) (the bounds ruler, its degree range, and planet it partners with along with the ‘aspect’ it encounters)
SR Aspects to: Mars (sq), Venus (sex), (the planets from the solar return that aspect the Divisor. So any planet in the solar return that makes an aspect to 24 to 29 degrees of Leo. In this case, his SR Mars was at 24 Sco and Venus was at 24 Gem)
LOTY Transit on Election Day: Mars 29 Cap (the transit position of the LOTY on election day)
Observations: The LOTY and Divisor are the same planet and this is considered a type of reinforcement that increases the likelihood of successful manifestations of the things the planet signifies in the nativity. Mars is a general significator for competitive drive, leadership and public affairs, and in the context of his natal chart it represents the domicile ruler of his 9th (Ari) and the common triplicity ruler of his MC/10th (Tau) where it is also in its detriment so the potential outcomes are thus mixed. These mixed outcomes might be stated as something like “ a lack of experience and/or ability (detriment) vs having good fortune on your side (triplicity). Mars is also the exaltation ruler of his 6thhouse in Capricorn. Exaltation rulership is a desirable rulership to have active for something like a presidential election, and Capricorn is the sign of the upper trine to the MC. Mars is also the out of sect malefic in DJTs radix which means it is something he will have a difficult time controlling. His radix Mars has a minimal amount of dignity by Bounds and Face. It is also highly angular which gives the person the ability to gain a certain amount of control of the planet through their own will power. DJT was very aggressive and confrontational in his 2016 campaign and even stalked Hillary Clinton around the stage during one of their televised debates. Mars transit of his 6th house in Capricorn (upper trine to MC) was an auspicious transit to have had and we see that it was at the “midnight hour” at 29 Cap on election day. Mars had entered Capricorn on Sept 28, 2016, roughly one month before the election and I suspect that one could go back to those days and observe its effects. The upper trine is associated with obtaining good fortune, and with Mars the general malefic one would rightly guess that the luck is needed. He just happened to be running against Clinton at a time when there was already some nine years worth of deliberate, strategic character smearing aimed at his opponent by the GOP that had become ingrained in their voting base. By the time DJT came along, her image among the targeted audience was well sullied and thus “easy pickings” for the person with a hard to control Mars that lives by the motto – “Attack attack attack!” Otherwise such behavior, instead of being fortunate to the MC, might have sent a person’s poll numbers plummeting into oblivion. Lucky him.
Note also that he has Venus as one of the SR planets aspecting the Divisor bounds. Venus is the domicile ruler of his MC sign, so having both Venus and Mars aspecting the bounds reinforces the rulership of the house of actions and public visibility. When trying to determine how things will turn out, we look for factors that either strengthen or weaken the rulership of the houses important to an election campaign. His SR Venus was strongly under the Sun’s beams and in a sign averse to her natal position. When SR planets do not make whole sign aspect to their natal house, this is thought to make them harder to manage and get good results from. I would observe that for DJT, Venus, in her typical guise is not a necessity. Her niceties and grace are not what his voter base responds to. His combust Venus that year portrayed a male overwhelming his female opponent with brute force, which is exactly what his actions (10th/MC) intended to do, and it did so from the 11th house of patronage and voter support. This may be a curious example of when being under the beams can play into one’s agenda in a constructive way. To his opponent’s voting base, the hidden, indifferent* Venus may have reinforced their image of him as being overly vain and graceless. *When the SR planet is in aversion to its natal position, it is said to sometimes represent indifference in some form.
MC Profection (2016)
Profection Year: 11th house (Pis)
LOTY: Jupiter
SR Position: 15 Vir
MC Divisor: Jupiter (Leo 0-5) w/Venus-Saturn (con)
SR Aspects to: Mercury (sex) , Asc (con)
LOTY Transit on Election Day: Jupiter at 12 Lib. One important facet of this transit is that Jupiter is in an upper sextile to Saturn and Venus in Sagittarius. This repeats the natal arrangement of these three planets by reversing them into a sextile. In the radix, Saturn and Venus are in the upper square to Jupiter and the dominant Saturn creates many hindrances for Jupiter. But, when planetary contact is repeated in the solar return or daily transits it serves as a form of activation. Jupiter was also in the upper square to Saturn in his solar return, so this reinforces the auspicious reversal for the year. The sextile that appeared on election day lacks the enmities and obstructions of the square, and as often said, creates an opportunity to prevail over the difficult natal condition. And so it was. The sextile symbolized the door opening just wide enough for DJT to slip into the White House.
Observations: Jupiter is the common triplicity ruler of his 11th house in Gemini. And, just like the Sun profection, there is reinforcement from having the same planet as LOTY and Divisor. Notice that the divisor of the MC has reached the natal rising sign, Leo. Symbolically then, the ascendant and MC have been brought together, representing the culmination of the person’s aims, desires and livelihood. It is symbolic of elevating the person up to full visibility. Notice also that the Sun profection previously discussed is also in Leo, so we have the Sun and MC Divisors sharing the same sign, suggesting a unification of purpose under the sign ruled by the Sun. A person has to be much older than the average POTUS for the rising sign bounds to reach the MC, unless the MC is tilted far into the 11th sign. Joe Biden was the only other president POTUS besides DJT to have the rising sign reach the MC by direction.
Notice also that the Divisor-LOTY pair planets are Mars and Jupiter which signify general success. Valens describes the pair as representing those who hold public offices of high honor, “showy characters”, and those who are friends with kings (world leaders). Mars and Jupiter also rule the 10th and 11th sign/house from the Lot of Fortune by domicile, making them very powerful as house rulers for career actions and patronage. The 11thFortune house is also well known as a place of success, accession and general good fortune. DJT’s diurnal Jupiter lacks the triplicity dignity needed to gain rulership over his Leo ascendant and 9th house in Aries (positions of high authority, royalty), but it is strongly stationing (phasis) and thus highly potent as an evening star so it is very capable as Ptolemy wrote, of bringing about what it promises, and arguably, IMO, to the disservice of the native’s own good. This helps explain why he seems to “get away” with so many egregious infractions and his often total disregard for facts. The evening star phase signifies success at making comebacks which explains much of why he is able to make these ridiculous comebacks from seemingly overwhelming odds which has the effect of giving the public an impression of invincibility. Jupiter is also the common triplicity ruler of his 11th house in Gemini which affords him good luck with his voter and patron base. Jupiter in Libra would then be the 9thhouse from Fortune, and the 9th house represents what guides the person. . . . These concurrent rulerships based on the Fortune houses will become more meaningful as we look at his Profections and Directions for the current election year.
AC Profection (2016)
Profection Year: 11th (Gem)
LOTY: Mercury
SR position: 4 Leo44
AC Divisor: Venus (Lib 21-27) w/Mars (sin sex)
SR Aspects to: Sun and Ven (tri), IC (con), MC (opp), Uranus (opp)
LOTY Transit on election day: Mercury at 23 Sco
Observations: LOTY Mercury rules the natal 11thwhich is vital for preferment, patronage and voter support. In the 2016 solar return, Mercury is domicile in Gemini and very tight on the SR 11th cusp so it is repeating its natal rulership and at a place of maximum strength for the 11th. This also means that Mercury dignifies the Sun beyond its radix dignity for the year, as well as any other planets in Gemini or Virgo. Divisor Venus is the natal MC ruler and is operating in her sign of rulership, Libra. On election day, Venus was transiting at 25 Sag, partile his 5th cusp and also in the sign of the 11th Fortune house. This represents a double dose of auspicious significations for voter support and general success and good fortune with near perfect timing. Her contributions were hinted at in the SR where she was trine her own Divisor bounds along with the Sun. I had mentioned earlier how the niceties of Venus were hidden by the Sun, and this theme is preserved in the Divisor-Partner pair where she has Mars in tow in a left handed sextile. The sinister aspects tend to be more difficult. The man could not be nice, but she was still lucky for him. I cite luck here because he lost the popular vote and won the electoral college which is by far a historical rarity which suggests that good fortune is a deciding factor to look for in the participating planets and houses. It is also appropriate to look for good fortune as a defining factor in a chart where an extremely intensified Jupiter occupies the 9th sign from Fortune = the person guided by the power of their own good luck.
2024 Election
DJT
Sun Profection:
Profection Year: 7th (Sagittarius)
LOTY: Jupiter
Sun Divisor: Mercury (Vir 0-6) w/Mars (con)
SR Aspects to: Mars (tri), Jupiter (sq)
LOTR Transit on Election Day: Jupiter Rx at 20 Gem
Observations: In 2016 the Sun’s Divisor was Mars in Leo which is the last bounds of Leo and thus it held the conjunction with the natal Mars. This was symbolically bringing the natal place of Mars to a direct conjunction to the Sun. A Sun-Mars conjunction when expressed well portrays courageous leadership and a willingness to defend. When troubled you get combativeness and an edgy authoritarian mindset. However, in the 2020 election, the Sun’s Divisor had moved into Virgo so this represented not only a bound ruler change but also a sign change. Virgo is the lower trine to the MC but also the 8th Fortune house which signifies becoming inactive. The same Divisor is active for this year and Mars is still the partnering planet. Mercury is highly dignified in its own sign, so as the new Divisor, Mercury has led to a more organized approach, though it will not surpass the radix Mercury In Cancer in the 12th. The profection sign Sagittarius is the 5th radix house and the 11thFortune house. Both houses are auspicious but the 11th Fortune house is especially so. Comparing the transits of the Sun’s LOTY for 2016 (Mars -win), 2020 (Sun- loss) and 2024 (Jupiter) we get:
Comparison of transits for the Sun’s Lord of the Year (2016, 2020, 2024)
2016 – Mars was transiting at 29 Cap. As previously mentioned, Capricorn is the upper trine to the Taurus MC and it is the sign of Mars exaltation. This transit portrays the Sun’s annual ruler and the natal MC’s common triplicity ruler transiting an auspicious place relative to the MC and possessing high dignity at the time of the election. Mars was averse its natal sign, but it was tightly square its natal sign in the solar return and aspecting the bound degrees which is considered to strengthen the ability for positive outcomes. .
2020 – The Sun was transiting Scorpio and thus averse its radix and solar return sign, representing a certain amount of indifference and a difficulty in the planets ability to manage its affairs. The Sun was at 11 Sco and had only minimal dignity by Decan. The north node transited the Sun an was thus in his 11th house for the year while the south node was in the Fortune 11th. He lost the election but the nodes transit seemed to expose and expand his very diversified groups of supporters.
2024 – Jupiter as this years LOTY for the Sun will be transiting his 11thhouse, retrograde and with mixed dignity. It is in detriment but has dignity as the common triplicity ruler, so here again is a planetary significator combining significant wanting with good luck. Jupiter is already in Gemini (4 Gem) for his solar return, and partially** within the 11th house which is where you’d want the Sun’s profection ruler to be for winning an election. Expanding his voter base and patronage and fortifying them with a one eyed, dogged sense of righteousness is the easy read here and has been heard in the airtight certainty of victory his supporters have locked into. In the spring during his court cases he appeared to be taking huge financial hits and his campaign funds would not hold a candle to Biden’s war chest funds according to many of the media pundits. Then suddenly he had random billionaires approaching him as well as other corporate donors climbing on board and the story has reversed. This is also an example of how his stationing evening star natal Jupiter carries over into this transit to “make a big comeback”. Hard to get straight facts on the “crowd size” claims but I’m leaning towards him dropping numbers at his rallies due to excessively boorish behavior. Here again is something that seems to follow the mixed dignities of this Jupiter. Major dignities or debilities are traditionally considered to be stronger than minor ones, and triplicity is considered to be “in between” though I’m not so sure it’s best to rank them that way. The power of luck and persuasion has made many person wealthy regardless of competency and morals. Will that follow here? , meaning will the debilitated Jupiter on election day who is now retrograde have enough power to bring enough voter turnout to win him the election? Before looking further at the transit situation on election day, I want to present the solar return data for each of his previous election years in order to give a clear picture of what was going on with the condition of the 11th house and its rulers for each year.
11th house and its rulers for past solar returns
2016: The solar return for 2016 matched the natal chart rising sign and this placed Gemini solidly as the 11th house by both whole sign and quadrant. Domicile ruler Mercury was in its own sign at 0 Gem45 and tightly on the house cusp at 1 Gem06. Mercury was also aligned with the correct sect as a morning star and free from the Sun’s beams which is about as good as one could hope for going into an election year. Mercury did have a wide whole sign opposition from Saturn which seems to reflect the fact he did not win the popular vote that year, but the 11thhouse would not be limited to the popular voting base. The 11th would also include patronage from wealthy individuals, corporate donors and political policy shaping groups. Winning the election via the Electoral College would fall under the 9thhouse which was in Aries where the exaltation ruler is the Sun who receives Aries by sextile. Comparing this situation with Al Gore’s 2000 solar return, we find that both his 11th and 9th houses were 100% “orphaned” which is a term I sometimes use for houses where all of the potential rulers are averse to the sign of the house in question. This is astonishing to see in the SR for an election candidate! (who otherwise had a pretty good chart). I have found in general that when houses have their domicile or exaltation rulers averse, it represents various challenges and difficulties the chart owner faces regarding the particular house topics. I don’t often see situations where all the potential rulers are averse, which would include the triplicity, bound (term) and decan (face) rulers, and it’s even more rare to find two houses in such condition. But, this is much in keeping with what happened to him that year, so if you want to see what a year with severely compromised results in the areas of support/preferment and matters which depend on the actions of those in authority over you, Gore’s 2000 solar return is a stark example.
2020: In DJTs 2020 solar return we see a similar situation to Al Gore’s 2000 SR. DJT’s SR 11th house in Taurus had the domicile ruler Venus in aversion and the exaltation ruler, the Moon was in the 9th in Pisces where it received the 11th via sextile. The common triplicity ruler Mars was also there and they are both conjunct Neptune. So his 11th did have two of its rulers tending to the house but they were cadent and declining in power. Only Mars had dignity by Bound and Decan. This accurately depicts what happened after the election when DJT went from court to court trying to overturn the election. Neptune seems to be showing the futility of it all. Witte/Ebertin delineates Mars-Neptune as “failures, rejections, misdirected powers, intent to harm”. The SR 9th domicile ruler Jupiter was in Capricorn and thus participating in rulership via the sextile, but was in its Fall and tightly conjunct the DC, showing a fading influence that was at the point of disappearing altogether. The courts were not having any of it.
2024 - DJT’s 2024 solar return is similar to the 2020 return in that the 11th house is Taurus and the domicile ruler Venus is averse in Gemini in the 12th. The exaltation ruler, the Moon is also cadent but in the 3rdhouse in Virgo and thus making a trine to the 11th. The diurnal triplicity ruler Venus is averse as it was in 2020, but the common triplicity ruler Mars is in the house and partile the 11th cusp. So, just like 2016, there is a planet directly on the 11th cusp indicating strengthened support efforts. I observe that the planets themselves may also be telling us a bit about the nature of his support base. In 2016 it was Mercury who was both a domicile and triplicity ruler in Gemini. Mars has mixed dignity in Taurus where it is in its detriment but also a triplicity ruler. I suspect the notable shift towards more extremism and the uptick in violent rhetoric and martial actions are being reflected here. This suggests an angry and frustrated support base including voters and those loyalists who have been placed in key places at the voting sites. Also, with Mars you get a mix of persons that go a bit beyond simply being angry and frustrated because Mars is a malefic, and it is DJTs out of sect malefic in both the radix and SR. This ups the ante to things like treachery and criminal behavior or worse. The assassination attempt on Jul 13, 2024 was an example of the worst case scenario. (see previous group post))
** Jupiter, as mentioned is in the 11thhouse of the return, but it is only partially there by the criteria of quadrant houses. By whole sign it is in the return 12th house. Vettius Valens taught that when quadrant cusps are used, we should read part of the whole sign as belonging to the other house, but not to exclude the underlying whole sign designation. So in other words, we have to blend their meanings. DJTs SR Jupiter is an excellent example of this blending when you apply it to the assassination event. We would say that Jupiter signifies a supporter we would encounter at the rally, but one who is also an enemy of DJT. The shooter was there and seen walking around like others, but then disappeared before climbing to the rooftop. Mars also signifies this scenario when we read it as showing treachery, even though it is solidly in the 11th by sign and cusp. This makes two significators of the 11th house who are unstable and may be the source of problems that work against DJT. Former election official Tina Peters was sentenced to prison this year for her criminal actions that attempted to give DJT an advantage dating back to the 2020 election. For those who like to experiment with converse transits, you can observe a Mars-Venus conjunction at 2 Aqu tightly squaring the DJT 2024 solar return Mars at 3 Tau when the transits are set for Mar 9, 2022 which is the day Peters was indicted on multiple felony charges. Then on Oct 3rd, 2024 as news of her prison sentence hit the headlines, transit Jupiter was at 21Gem17 and conjunct DJTs SR 12th house Mercury by just 7 minutes. All of this is for emphasizing how we cannot take a Jupiter transit to a persons natal Sun and Moon as a stand alone thing where Jupiter is appearing in a mono guise as bringer of all things good. Jupiter’s transits for DJT will have weight for sure since Jupiter is the profection ruler for his Sun, but it is also specific to other things as defined by the solar return where it lives in two houses at once, the 11th (“good spirit” and friends) and 12th(“bad spirit” enemies). I also read this condition as showing some very confused individuals occupying his supporter/voting base. Tina Peters was still claiming she didn’t think she did anything wrong as she sobbed to the judge after the verdict was read.
On election day, Jupiter will be transiting at 20 Gem and in a partile conjunction with his natal north node. For those who observe the phenomenon of planets falling in the degree of the nodes, you know this can produce some unusual events. Both Moon and Venus will be out of bounds (OOB) on election day with Mercury immediately following. Due to Jupiter’s rx at 21 Gem, it will not make a 3 pass transit to his Sun, but it will make a 3 pass to his Moon. His natal Moon signifies the 5thand Fortune 11th and rules his 12th house where Saturn, Venus and Mercury are. It also holds prominence for the year as the ruler of the solar return ascendant, just as it did in 2020. Having the natal 12th house rising on the return ascendant places an emphasis on that house, which is principally a house of losses for the native. Relative to the 10th house and MC, when the MC is there, it is a supportive position via sextile, just as the 6th can be as the upper trine. With the 3 pass emphasis on the Moon rather than the Sun, I’m inclined to give the Moon greater power for deciding longer term outcomes that depend on good fortune overcoming bad. This again hints at getting lucky with the electoral college and/or the judiciary branch should they find occasion to swoop in. This takes us to evaluating DJT’s solar return 9th house in Pisces. Its domicile ruler Jupiter receives the house by square. We’re already seen its mixed condition and this suggests the possibility of support turning harmful, perhaps under the power of its own sense of righteousness. The SCOTUS is supposed to be neutral but it would be remiss to ignore their obvious bias in favor of DJT and the GOP. And, should they have opportunity to step in, and do not call it in his favor due to their own righteousness, he would most certainly consider it treacherous. Also, if we apply use of dignities for evaluating moral character, Jupiter in Gemini would be on the reprobate side of the coin, and again, Jupiter in Gemini’s dignity comes from triplicity rulership (getting lucky). There is also Venus to consider as the exaltation ruler and she is strongly under the Sun’s beams and peregrine, but, being in the conjunction to the well dignified Mercury may confer her some of its dignity through reception. . There is still the problem of being in the 12thhouse though. One a side note, I have observed an ongoing theme in DJT’s charts suggesting some important event involving a female who may turn on him, or cause him great upset. I took some time and studied each of his previous marriages and the current year puts potential changes such as separation on the table. Melania has already stated she does not wish to live in the White House for another 4 years. Also, the return Moon shows up strongly in the events this past summer with Laura Loomer, and so does the SR 12th house Mercury-Sun-Venus cluster. They could be showing a love triangle or some other scandalous situation. Saturn opposes the Moon in the return and is in the 9th which would likely cause problems for matters where the courts or other authorities have to step in. This is in keeping with the expected delays as a deliberate obstructionist tactic from the GOP. But, like the 2020 return which had Mars in the 9th, it could show major obstacles for DJT in using the courts for his advantage if the election results are not to his liking. The Moon, like it was in 2020, is the return ascendant ruler, so the opposition from Saturn takes on more weight beyond the effects on his personal moods. In general, the Moon in hard aspect to Saturn in the return is somewhat common in the charts of election candidates, presumably showing the increase in obligations and responsibilities to the office of POTUS.
MC Profection (2024)
Profection year: 7th (Scorpio)
LOTY: Mars
SR position: 23 Pis (trine his radix Venus-Saturn)
MC Divisor: Venus (Leo 6-10) w/ Venus and Saturn (con), Pluto (con)
SR Aspects to: none
LOTR Transit on Election Day: Mars at 0Leo30
Observations: The MC Divisor for 2016 and 2020 was Jupiter in Leo, so this year represents a change in the bound ruler to Venus. Venus is less well placed in the natal than Jupiter but is the domicile ruler of the MC. LOTY Mars will go retrograde conjunct the Divisor bounds on Dec 7, 2024 at 6 Leo so this transit will likely hold something important if there are still recounts going on just before the deadline in mid December. Mars is in the natal MC sign Taurus in the solar return and partile the 11th cusp indicating a vigorous, aggressive effort towards building a support group and voter base. The return Mars is in mundane transit with the stars of the Ram’s head which can bring drastic falls from grace due to misusing positions of authority and other overly forceful, impulsive behavior. The partners, Venus and Saturn both aspect the MC in the natal and form a significant part of how DJT is perceived overall. The solar return directed Mars for election day comes to the Mars bounds in Virgo which contain the IC. This is symbolic of bringing the return Mars to the opposition of the MC. Despite Mars being his more difficult malefic, he’s won with it prominent in 2016 and the reckless defiance and constant attacking still appeal to most of his voter base. Hidden matters could be brought to light at this time too.

LOTR Transit on Election Day: Saturn is repeating an aspect it has with Jupiter in the birth chart. In the radix, Saturn overcomes Jupiter by square and this is what is happening in the transits. In 2016, the year he won, Jupiter and Saturn were in a sextile on election day but Jupiter was holding the upper position and thus reversing the natal alignment. This represented an environment where he had the opportunity get better outcomes. But this year the natal aspect is repeating the more difficult square with Saturn in the dominant position. This means increased hindrances, delays and other obstacles that spoil plans. The square occurs in mutable signs and both planets are transiting his Sun, Moon and nodes, but there is a delay in the order. Jupiter is making the transit first, this year, then Saturn will begin its transit in early 2025. Notice that the order also reflects how the natal square works. Saturn in the upper square to Jupiter means that events or circumstances begin in a manner according to Jupiter, but end under Saturn’s influence. Auspicious beginnings for projects that end up losing money is one way this can play out. There are several other factors I’ve observed that seem to show a situation around election day/month where he may lose money or funding. So, something related to his lights that seems to work out well right now and through the election might see a set back or reversal in early 2025.
Observations: His natal Saturn is in its detriment in Cancer and depicts major internal self defeating battles that lead to failures of the planet being able to do its job. I suspect some of the difficulties come with marriage and extra marital intimate partners since Saturn rules his 7th, but is averse to Aquarius. This hints at marriage related problems that could be brewing. Saturn also plays a strong role in shaping his actions along with Venus and Mars since they all tightly aspect the MC. The transit squaring his Sun will challenge his competence and authenticity, making it harder to deflect scrutiny. The transit of the Moon may bring up health problems. His solar return MC is on the Saturn/Neptune midpoint this year suggesting a chronic health condition is present behind the backdrop of normal activities.
Kamala Harris
General Natal Observations: Like Hillary Clinton, Harris is a Gemini rising with its ruler Mercury in a seemingly remote yet powerful place. Each have Mercury averse to Gemini in the 6thand trine the MC. Harris has very tight trine showing someone who obtains success via good communication skills and a sharp mind. Mercury is however hampered due to being under the Sun’s beams and this along with being in aversion may be part of the reason why we keep hearing people parroting the same line about her, “But I don’t know what she stands for”. Part of the ascendant ruler’s job is the general presentation of the person. Harris has the domicile and both triplicity rulers of her ascendant in aversion, leaving the job to the bounds and decan rulers who are Saturn and the Sun. Both planets make tight trines to the ascendant and within their respective bound and decan, so they are positioned in just about the most ideal way for the given situation. So, Saturn and Sun are the planets that actively handle the affairs of her ascendant. I would count the north node as “exaltation ruler”, though usage of the nodes as rulers has been one of those topics that no astrologers seem to know much about so I don’t have much background info to share other than having observed a number of similar charts that seem to be emphatic about assigning the node a stake in rulership. In this chart the nodes are tight on the horizon and this placement is known for catapulting people into overnight notoriety and fame. The nodes seem to bring many things to the person via various path crossings that may appear to be “destined”, but I have also observed that the catapults to fame or infamy are the direct result of what the person has invested in up to that point. This phenomenon happened this past summer when Biden’s resignation opened the door for an instant catapult to the POTUS nomination and all the xtra media spotlight that comes with it. She also has the asteroid Melpomene conjunct her north node. I have observed that asteroids conjunct the node will describe people, circumstances and events they make important connections to, but can also describe those same factors happening directly to them. Melpomene will show things that start off very well and promising but end mush less auspicious, and sometimes even in tragedy. A recent example would be the situation with Joe Biden, a presidency and second election run that started off very hopeful but ended the opposite. I have not been able to find examples in her life that involved her experiencing that directly, but it seemed worth mentioning as they could also apply to DJT’s campaign, or the election itself which is already at a high risk for disruptions, violence or worse.
Sun Profection:
Profection Year: 1st (Lib)
LOTY: Venus
SR position: 3 Sag (on Asc)
Sun Divisor: Mercury (Cap 0-6) w/Mer (sin sex)
SR Aspects to: nodes (sq) MC/IC (sex/tri)
LOTY transits on election day: Venus at 22 Sag
Observations: Mercury became the Sun’s Divisor in Feb 2023 at a sign change into Capricorn. Previously the Divisor had been Mars in Sagittarius and during her nomination for vice president she had both lights and Saturn partnering with Mars who is the 11th house ruler (Aries). Both the domicile and exaltation rulers (Mars and Sun) receive the 11th by major aspect which is excellent for political ascension in general. So it was the combination of having the house and its strongest rulers in good condition along with the directions of both lights plus the dignified Saturn peaking in 2020 that accounted for her VP nomination, The DNC nomination for POTUS and current election are now taking place under Mercury who is partnering with its own sextile, which means the zodiac position of Mercury’s sextile is brought to the place of the Sun. Recall that Mercury is the triplicity ruler of her Sun, Saturn and the houses they represent along with her ascendant. This direction went exact in mid Sept 2024 and represents a powerful way of activating her voting base and campaign support because it involves both the rulers and significators of the 11thin Aries where the Sun rules by exaltation and Libra which is the 11thFortune house and home of her natal Sun.
However the LOTY for the MC profection (Jupiter, see next section) has directed its opposition to the Sun’s LOTY, Venus and this appears to be bringing some potential trouble. This direction is active for all of 2024.
MC Profection:
Profection Year: 1st house (Pis)
LOTY: Jupiter
SR position: 21 Gem rx (7H)
MC Divisor: Venus (Tau 0-7) w/Mer (opp)
SR Aspects to: none
LOTY transits on election day: Jupiter at 20 Gem
Observations: Harris has a very pleasing and fortunate Jupiter –Venus natal trine from the 12th to the 4th house, and those planets are the domicile and exaltation rulers of her MC-10thhouse. The cadent influence of the 12thseems to produce the compassionate acts aimed at protecting those whose lot in life takes them to places of discomfort to others who seek a sense of safety within the isolation of narrow, harsh conservatism. But, the 12th house comes with risk of problems from enemies and their enmities. As mentioned, her 24 Tau Jupiter has directed its opposition to Venus. The opposition originates from the 6th, an equally difficult enemy house, and 24 Scorpio happens to also be DJT’s IC, an interesting synastry connection given the 4th/IC house’s reputation for holding hidden matters. 24 Sco aligns with the spearing hand of Centaurus-Lupus (an analogue to Perseus-Medusa on the same axis). This can be a shockingly hypocritical influence exhibiting a cold, absolute righteousness that is full of accusations and an ability to project/cast an evil image of their enemies. (while they themselves stand guilty of equally bad things). But it also denotes someone highly skilled, canny and good at covering their tracks. So this direction appears to be suggesting the type of foul play that has already been well known since the beginning of 2024 which is the MAGA GOPs plans to help their cause by discounting Harris votes in any way they can. The 12th house would be the correct one for identifying any attempts by enemies at stealing from the native. So here we have the ruler of the 12th receiving a direction from the planet in that house. Jupiter in the 12th suggests enemies who are emboldened by a distorted sense of righteousness and arrogance who may be working with a female due to the Venus influence.
Investigating this possibility further, we see that when Jupiter’s opposition reaches Venus it will also encounter a Lot called Damage or Misunderstanding. This is a modern Lot of unknown origin using Neptune with Mars and projecting from the ascendant. I cross checked the meaning using the Witte and Ebertin sensitive points (SP) using all combinations of Asc, Mars, and Neptune and the meanings stay consistent and pertain to potential harm done from misunderstandings or the deliberate deceit of others. The solar return brings the asteroid Grieve to this position within the radix Venus bounds which suggests the intensity of harm done. Jupiter is one of her natal ascendant rulers so this could be personal.
A more positive read on this direction would be that it is bringing together the two strongest rulers of the MC in the 10th sign from Fortune. That is a by product of being born on a full moon which puts Fortune on the descendant and something that DJT also shares. This direction should also activate the natal significations of good fortune and success based on their trine aspect. But, is it enough to win the election?
AC Profection
Profection year: 1st house (Gem)
LOTY: Mercury
SR position: 10 Sco (12H)
Divisor: Saturn (Leo 11-17) w/Mercury (dex sq)
SR Aspects to Divisor: Moon (sex)
LOTY transits on election day: Mercury will be at 4 Sag and will have just crossed her solar return ascendant-Venus conjunction. It’s worth noting that Mercury and Venus will be out of bounds (OOB) on election day and peaking in the week following. OOB Planets can show a range of meanings, from various types of brilliance/genius to acts of criminal psychopathy.
Observations: LOTY Mercury will go retrograde Nov 26 near her south node-descendant but doesn’t quite complete the conjunction before stationing. It will however make a tight trine to her Mars while stationing. Mars is her 11th house ruler and also the triplicity ruler of her MC/10thhouse. This will take place well after election day so the focus on the 11th would be shifted to her campaign team and any other external allies who might end up coming to her aide should there be any crises to resolve involving vote counting or corruption. Mercury Rx often marks times where some difficult to solve problem has reached a standstill and requires disengagement from the task in order to find a solution. Mercury will be simultaneously transiting DJT’s south node and is the ruler of his 11th house. This sounds like both of them may be dealing setbacks due to vote count issues during this time.
Conclusions: Both Harris and DJT have Saturn as the first natal planet to rise to the solar return ascendant which confirms expectations of having the election results delayed or hindered in some way. I don’t see as much of a difference between the winner and loser charts as I did for the 2016 and 2020 elections. I think Harris would have better outcomes with the courts than Al Gore did in 2000 if things should come to that. Having Venus on the return ascendant has given her a strong ability of promoting the message of “bringing the country together” vs dividing it. Venus is peregrine and out of sect but does gain some triplicity dignity from the reception of Jupiter, but Jupiter is also in detriment so some of this debility is also transferred. I think the compromised condition makes it harder for the message to resonate with the public. The solar return ascendant ruler Jupiter is also in the 7th, suggesting a fall towards obscurity and fading presence. She has a Moon-Jupiter conjunction that confers good fortune to the Moon, but again they are both in the DC. Her return Sun is in the 11thand has some mixed reception with domicile ruler Venus. Exaltation ruler Saturn is averse Libra in Pisces and this is a detracting factor for the Sun. Unlike her natal chart, where nearly all the aspect pairs are very cooperative through shared dignities, the solar return brings some challenges. She has a tight Sun-Mars square and Mars is the odd planet out since it is not a profection ruler or divisor/partner for the Sun, MC or AC. The square appears to be showing a new level of stress that may cause her to appear drained or irritable, likely due to being driven to find emotional support amidst the unforgiving world of media scrutiny. Appearing relaxed and unfettered works best for her as evidenced in the debate. DJT appears to be trying to turn the tables by acting relaxed and downplaying the importance of answering questions (declines 2nddebate and then effectively says “screw the questions – lets party and dance” at the recent Town Hall event.) The Sun in Libra tends to be hostile to Mars while Mars in Cancer is indifferent to the Sun. This is the kind of scenario where aggressive or base comments, esp from males will cause more irritation than usual, and DJT is no doubt waiting for her to slip up and lose control so he can start up a new set of accusations and insults. The dignities are lacking in the returns of both candidates and DJT has the only domicile planet, Mercury in Gemini. It is strongly under the beams and impeded, but confers its dignities to all the other Gemini planets by reception. The Gemini planets are in the return 12th, but to the MC, they are a tour de force. I looked at the solar return charts of former US presidents Obama, Bush, Clinton, Nixon, JFK, and FDR plus runners up Al Gore and Hillary Clinton and none of them had anything close to what DJT has had for 2016 and 2024 (except Bush in 2000). In 2016 DJT had a Sun-Venus conjunction making a tight sextile to the MC, and this year he has 4 planets in tight aspect to the MC – Sun-Ven-Mer by square and Uranus by sextile! I consider this similar to a planet having accidental dignity and it seems to confer the ability to take action with the power of the aspecting planets behind them in a brute force kind of way. Uranus accounts for some of the bizarreness and appearing just plain crazy at times. Harris has Mercury making a sextile to the MC but with a wide orb, so less effective. On election day the Sun will be in Scorpio and thus occupying the sign of the upper trine to DJTs return MC in Pisces. Also, Venus and Mercury will be OOB and transiting in Sagittarius in the upper square to his return MC. Harris will have Uranus transiting the upper trine of her return MC along with the return Moon at 12 Gem in the upper square. On paper, there must be a hundred solid reasons why Harris is the best choice for POTUS and a thousand and one why DJT is not. But going strictly by the planets, I unfortunately must give the edge to DJT for 2024.

Out of curiosity I cast a Horary and it suggested a scenario where one candidate (DJT) appears to initially win, but the call is apparently reversed, presumably from vote recounts.

Special thanks to Mark Cullen for his encouragement on this write up. I doubt I would have found the time to do it otherwise! ''

Predicted Winner: Kamala Harris

US ELECTIONS 2024
The role of relocated solar revolution.
To be able to make a prediction about the winner I consider that you have to study many predictive techniques at the same time.
What I'm interested in sharing in this article is the role of the relocated solar revolution. To be able to evaluate them, I took the time to see where both candidates were.

Trump did it in Washington DC, and Harris did it on Sunday in Georgia.
Harris's RS seems pretty much more favorable to me. Introduces the Sol in exact conjunction with the MC. Was she advised by an astrologer to spend her birthday there?

That solar revolution has some tense aspects that call its triumph into question, such as Saturn's exact opposition to its native Uranus and Pluto.
But if we consider the angularities, Harris's is more forceful than Trump's since the former president's RS presents the Sun intercepted in House 12, and Saturn in conjunction with the MC. Besides Neptune very close to the MC is not a favorable indication either.
We know that Saturn in the MC is in most cases failure or defeat, and sometimes rarely triumphs after much suffering, effort or suffering.
By the way, I cannot omit Pluto's position on the cusp of House 8 squared to Mars, notoriously reflecting the risks of attack and/or danger in his life for this period. Also in that sense we can consider the stellium in House 12, that of the hidden enemies, and those planets in tension to Saturn.
If we evaluate RS for birthplace, it doesn't change much for Trump with respect to Washington (pushes Saturn a little away from MC but closer to Neptune). While for Harris it completely changes the letter, but it also stands well when Venus stays on the solar ASC for Oakland where she was born.
One would think that solar for the nation's capital should be considered. In that case, in the RS of Harris the Sun moves away from the junction with the MC but remains inside House 10. Trump's is the same letter analyzed above, where he had his birthday.
I looked at the lunar revolutions, a technique that I consider less important than the RS, and in this matter Trump seems to have an advantage since he will have in that monthly letter to the Moon in conjunction with Venus and in opposition to Jupiter transiting on its Gemini stellium.
After the elections we'll know if the relocated RS had weight or not.

Predicted Winner: Kamala Harris

I was intrigued by a comment in Roseanne Finn’s article ‘Pluto Unleashed’, where she says: “The degrees of zodiacal longitude where Pluto goes into extreme declination become sensitive points in space”.
https://www.astro.com/astrology/aa_article240604_e.htm
The idea seems plausible and merits more research. She adds in a footnote: “Between 1938-1953…Pluto was OOB from 28° Cancer to 15° Leo – an orb of 16 degrees. I used the orb we are moving into, a five-degree orb because between 2025-2035 Pluto moves from 5° Leo to 16° Leo.”
This is another unfortunate error (several others were corrected in the July/August AA Journal) as Pluto is, of course, about to make its final ingress into Aquarius. And its OOB solar longitude equivalent degrees will actually range from 1°AQU22’ to 17°AQU59’. In 1938-53 the actual range was 28°CAN23’-21°LEO31’.

In any case, it’s reasonable to hypothesise that charts with placements in 1° to 18° Aquarius/Leo, and also Scorpio/Taurus, will receive a Pluto OOB-driven power boost during the timeframe 28 August 2025 - 17 November 2035, for better or worse. With Pluto having been in 22°S+ since May 2020, it might be surmised that this on-going ramping up of intensity we’re experiencing globally is a foreshadow of the decade ahead.
As Finn mentions, Pluto was last OOB in N. declination for periods between 1938-1953 (WW2, the Holocaust, Hiroshima & Nagasaki, Cold War, Indian independence, People’s Republic of China founded, Korean War). And in S. declination Pluto was last OOB for periods during 1774-1795 (industrial, American and French revolutions).
Given the rarity of Pluto OOB phases, and with it apparently being Pluto’s last journey OOB for at least several thousand years, the imminent OOB phase in S. declination in 2025-2035 seems highly likely to be a big deal. It’s not hard to envisage potential for both positive and negative social, political, economic and technological developments as we grapple with the multiple crises we’re facing.
Finn briefly mentions Trump and Kamala in the article. How will Pluto impact their horoscopes on election and inauguration days?
At first glance Trump’s natal Pluto OOB has no major aspects, but declination astrologers know that he has a powerful rolling parallel of Venus, Uranus, Sun and Pluto at 23°N51’, contraparallel Moon OOB (with parallax correction).

He also has three OOB declination midpoints involving Pluto: Sun/Pluto contraparallel Moon at 23N33, Mercury/Venus parallel Pluto at 23N59, and Mercury/Uranus parallel Pluto at 24N12. His Mercury/Pluto midpoint is at 24N30, and Mercury is at 25N09.
He has no natal midpoints in late Capricorn/early Aquarius, but transiting Pluto-opp-Mars (exact at 29°CAN/CAP40’ on 3 November 2024, 7 January 2025, and 25 April 2025) is approaching Trump’s natal Saturn/Pluto midpoint at 1°LEO56’.
Pluto is Kamala’s most extreme planet in declination, but well within bounds at 18N24, parallel Jupiter. She has Mars/Pluto = Jupiter, Uranus/Pluto = Saturn, Moon/Pluto = Mercury, and Venus/Pluto = Mercury. In longitude, with Pluto sandwiched between Venus and Uranus, she has Venus/Uranus = Pluto.
Kamala has no planets or midpoints in the first few degrees of Aquarius, but her Sun (27°LIB48’)-cnj-Mercury (1°SCO27’)-opp-Moon (28°ARI02’) are currently being squared by transiting Pluto and Mars, forming a temporary Grand Cross that remains in place well beyond election day.
Neither candidate has planets in Aquarius within the Pluto OOB zone, but Trump has Pluto at 10° Leo 02’. If he’s still alive he’ll have five Pluto opposition hits between March 2029-December 2030.

They both have Leo midpoints in the zone, Trump’s nine being Saturn/Pluto, Mercury/Mars, Venus/Pluto, Mars/Saturn, Venus/Mars, Uranus/Neptune, Sun/Neptune, Uranus/Chiron and Jupiter/Uranus. Kamala’s pair of Leo midpoints are Sun/Jupiter and Mercury/Jupiter, and in Aquarius she also has Moon/Neptune in the zone.
Although Pluto is just one of numerous factors (Moon, Venus & Ceres all OOB on election day certainly being another one), its influence on Kamala’s chart, especially combined with Mars, seems to have helped her become more than a match for Trump on the campaign trail. Her secondary progressed Sun and Mercury conjunct the Galactic Center and natal S. Node also seems to be playing a part in her cowering of Trump.
Meanwhile, the latter’s progressed Mars conjunct natal Chiron suggests that underneath the bluster, he’s hurting. And assuming his 10:54am chart is correct, his progressed Ascendant trundling through the first degree of Scorpio, with progressed Moon also in Scorpio - further ramping up his Pluto quotient - might help explain some of his bizarre behaviour.

At noon on inauguration day, with the Sun at 0°AQU53’, Pluto at 1°AQU41’, and Sun/Pluto at 1°AQU17’, squaring Kamala’s natal Mercury at 1°SCO27’, and opposing Trump’s Saturn/Pluto midpoint at 1°LEO56’, there’s clear potential for Kamala to make a powerful impression on the day that matters, while Trump looks more vulnerable.

Moving forward into the final Pluto OOB era, Kamala’s relatively calm declination astrology suggests that she’s much less likely to spontaneously combust under mounting Pluto pressure than her rival, who already appears to be in meltdown.
Is all this enough to land Kamala the Presidency? Whilst acknowledging my political bias, wishful thinking, and cherry picking of data to suit my narrative, Pluto’s gradually increasing global influence and impact on the candidates’ horoscopes does seem to support Karen Christino’s more comprehensive analysis, which names Kamala as the likely winner: https://karenchristino.com/blog/.

MY IN-DEPTH, OFFICIAL PREDICTION FOR THE 2024 U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

INTRODUCTION
With less than two weeks to go in the U.S. presidential election, and with most polls saying the race is basically a dead heat, I am here to (finally) share my astrological view of what I think is the probable outcome. I'll also pull in some references to esoteric spirituality, and the larger astrological context within which this election is taking place.
But I have to say this upfront: It's my view that any astrologer who thinks they know for sure what is going to happen, is lying to you. This is one of those elections that truly could go either way, and the astrology for both candidates is mixed. This is a terrifying prospect, given what's at stake, and it's hard to believe, given the stark contrast between the candidates, that the race is this close. But, that's where we are.
I divide this election season into three parts:
1) Election Day, November 5, 2024
2) The time period between Election Day and Inauguration Day
3) Inauguration Day, January 20, 2025
I’ll look at the USA Sibly chart, the natal charts of both candidates for president–with their current transits–and the inauguration chart for January 20th, 2025…which happens to be very harsh, indicating a tumultuous few years ahead no matter who wins…or is installed. And no one has yet done a complete astrological analysis of the crucial period between Election Day and Inauguration Day, centered on the deadlines for selection of the electors who will cast the actual votes for the winner. So that's here, too. It’s a crucial moment astrologically, with implications for the whole world. And it deserves a deeper view.

THE USA CHART
We'll begin by looking at the Sibly chart, the one that's most accepted (I like the 2:22 am Gemini Rising chart, myself), for the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Current transits for the chart tell us quite a story. We have to begin, of course, with the USA's Pluto Return. Pluto was not discovered until 1930, but as is the case with the other outer planets, putting into the 1776 chart provides us with a vital clue as to why such a breakdown has occurred in the U.S. over the last few years. It’s a truly Plutonian moment.

The Sibly chart shows Pluto at 27'33" Capricorn, the sign of government and big business, in the 2nd House associated with money and personal values. I have always said that Donald Trump is the embodiment of America's Pluto Return. He's a plutocrat (powerful person) with all the characteristics of an aspiring strongman, if not an outright tyrant. Trump is the instrument for those who feel alienated from the System, or who simply want to keep spewing their grievances rather than cooperating in reforming said system. Trump supporters see themselves in him. He is their middle finger, a coarse and increasingly dark rebellion against things as they are. But besides all that, I have always said that Trump is the product of mass karma, of the "collective unconscious" of America, and he won't be gone until America consciously makes another choice. So far, whether because of his hold on the social resentments and conservative faith of his largely white male base, or his sheer entertainment value--which I think accounts for a lot of his appeal--America has not been willing to make that choice.

On Election Day, November 5th, Pluto will still be in the 29th and last degree of Capricorn. This would seem to favor conservatives and elders. Before Joe Biden dropped his reelection bid, I predicted his win largely based on the Saturnian flavor of Election Day as Saturn favors maturity and the elderly. (The Moon is also transiting through Capricorn on November 5th.) Saturn is also at 13 Pisces on Election Day, in an exact, flowing trine to the U.S. Sun at 13 Cancer. This is another conservative signature, or better said, this is an aspect that says people want security, not chaos or revolution.
Pluto moves into unconventional, forward-looking Aquarius on November 19, 2024. This, you will note, is after Election Day. But I do not expect the election to actually be over untiI Inauguration Day, January 20, 2025, for reasons that I will explain.
America is also going through its Chiron Return. In 1776, Chiron, appropriately, was at 20 Aries, with this Mars-ruled energy representing the new and groundbreaking political structure that had to be brought about by war. On Election Day, Chiron is at 19 Aries, within a degree of its exact return. It's also slowly moving retrograde, bringing back old issues. Chiron, a teaching energy, is about healing and healing crises. This election is essentially about whether we as a nation will allow ourselves to heal or stay wounded, and inflict further pain. Trump is saying every day that he will sic the military on all those he deems his enemies.

So let me just say it now: Blood will flow if Trump is reelected, there is simply no doubt about it. In his view, he will heal America by cleansing it of "vermin." We have heard this sort of rhetoric before, in Germany of the 1930s. And Trump means it. Should he lose, I expect him to explicitly rage that his “enemies” should not live. You can imagine the rest. He already has many followers who are itching for the chance to conduct their longed-for civil war. A Chiron Return could signify just such a terrible event. And the astrology over the next few months supports that possibility. (Headline in Vanity Fair as I write this: “Donald Trump Suggests Abraham Lincoln Should Have Let the South Keep a Little Slavery.”)
Chiron is also currently in an inconjunct, an awkward 150-degree angle, to Neptune, planet of dreams, ideals, and illusions, at 22 Virgo. Neptune is the most elevated planet in this chart, sitting in the 9th House of religion and philosophy. Chiron's "adapt, adjust, accommodate" angle to Neptune shows how confused, and perhaps deceived, a great deal of America's citizens currently are. It does not look like it lightens up until mid-to-late 2025.
Neptune itself is currently at 27 Pisces, and so for the last few years America has been under its Neptune opposition. One of Neptune's associations is with disease, and thus we can see the whole COVID-19 crisis reflected in America's Neptune opposition. The good news is that the exact point of the opposition is past. Neptune will turn direct on December 7, 2024...two days after the date set for all the election votes to be counted. Neptune stations being associated with fogginess and possible deception, this does not promise electoral clarity.

Uranus, planet of revolution and possible chaos, having been discovered in 1781, during the time of the American and French Revolutions, has a paricularly important role to play in America's destiny. America is approaching its Uranus Return early Gemini in 2026-27, and much has already been said about what this may mean. Uranus Returns for America in the past have been associated with times of war. Uranus is not subtle, and it currently sits at 25 Taurus, and in the 1776 chart it is now transiting within three degrees of a 90-degree square to the aforementioned Neptune, planet of idealism. This looks like a breakthrough, rather than a breakdown. Rock'n'roll was invented in the mid-1950s under a Uranus square to Neptune. It's forward-looking and rebellious energy. It's now bringing a breakthrough energy that speaks to the prospect of a woman rising to the presidency for the first time. The question is: Will this energy, combined with other factors, be enough to propel Kamala Harris to the White House?

Jupiter, planet of good fortune and expansion, on Election Day is moving retrograde at 20 Gemini, within a degree of a conjunction to the USA chart's Mars at 19 Gemini. This is normally a decent transit, giving energy and vigor. But in this context, it's a sign of possible expansion of violence and divisiveness. Mars is also in a hard square to Neptune, indicating the possibility of deception. Translated: Nobody will be willing to accept the election results unless they are on the winning side. And I don't see the election being resolved on November 5th.

The USA's Progressed Sun is now at 20 Pisces. This is an applying, or approaching, close opposition to the USA's Chiron and a square to the USA's Mars, making a dynamic T-square now with Jupiter in the mix. This shows that perspectives can easily be blown out of proportion, but also presents an opportunity for a sort of national healing. Or, further wounding. It underscores the importance of this election as a turning point for the nation.
And as November 5th comes to a close, the USA's Progressed Moon--the second hand, as it were, on the chart's clock–is at 29 Pisces, the very last degree of the last sign. So this election is a culmination of history, for America and for the world. But this position of the USA's Progressed Moon is also part of the reason that I don't believe the election will be resolved on Election Day. Neptune, considered a confusion- causing energy, sits at 27 Pisces, right next door. Good luck to us all!

CHART OF DONALD TRUMP
I have been saying for months that Donald Trump's chart for Election Day is very strong. I will reiterate here that, astrologically speaking, there is every chance that he could, by hook or by crook (probably the latter), find himself in the Oval Office again. And at that point, you can kiss American democracy goodbye. He makes no pretense about it. So, let's look at his transits for this period.

The first thing we see is that lucky Jupiter is retrograde but sitting precisely atop his North Node, or life destiny point, at 20 Gemini in the 10th House of status. And it's moving back toward his natal Uranus, the sudden change agent, at 17 Gemini. Jupiter-Uranus transits are among the most fortunate in all of astrology, as Jupiter spreads a blessing of protection over a chaotic situation. That's almost enough to call the election for him right there. It becomes exact during the last week of November, just as Mercury turns retrograde right on his Moon at 21 Sagittarius. He will be concerned with his own comfort zones, and as he was born under a Full Moon, Mercury also directly opposes his Sun-North Node-Uranus conjunction. It's anyone's guess as to what will be happening then, but his social media accounts will be blaring at top volume.

That same week, Jupiter also retrogrades back into a harmonious trine to his natal Jupiter in the 2nd House of gain. Jupiter is also the astrological ruler of the law, and this indicates that the inevitable legal disputes may well be resolved in his favor around this time. The Supreme Court, after all, is in his pocket. If the viability of the election goes to the Supreme Court, it may well rule for him no matter what.
Trump's Progressed Sun during this period will be at 8 Virgo in his 1st House, in an exact, smooth 60-degree angle (sextile) to his natal Mercury at 8 Cancer in the 11th House of associates. Congress, the people's representatives, are associated with the 11th House. He may get favors from congressional Republicans that boost his ambitions. His Progressed Moon is also at 9 Scorpio in a close, favorable (although separating) trine to his natal Mercury. In any case, he won't be able to stop from burning up his phone with various rants. (The dark side of Mercury.)

There are, however, several big planetary transits that could work against Trump returning to the White House. The biggest of these is the very harsh and explosive Uranus square to his natal Mars. Uranus will be retrograding at 25 Taurus, right on his chart's Midheaven, point of status, on Election Day. Trump's Mars is at 26 Leo. This is what I call the 9/11 aspect, because we saw it in George W. Bush's first inauguration chart in 2001. We didn't know exactly what might happen, but we saw that something big and bad was coming down the pike. Electorally, this for Trump is possible upset territory. It's breakthrough or breakdown energy, and remember that in his chart Uranus is favorably aspected.

This transit, though, is also potentially very violent. I think it's entirely possible, perhaps even probable, that Trump loses the election, or the result is unclear for a while, and he unleashes hell as a result. Uranus is in a harmonious sextile to his Venus-Saturn conjunction at 23-25 Cancer, which looks chaotic but favorable, if you count on chaos as being favorable...which Trump does; but the explosiveness of the volatile Uranus-square-Mars aspect may override those benefits.
What might be the kicker, though, is Pluto's awkward 150-degree inconjunct angle to Trump's 29 Leo Ascendant. This is about handling power, and basically that's Trump's life lesson in a nutshell. The inconjunct angle shows a need to adapt, adjust, and accommodate. When was the last time Donald Trump adapted, adjusted or accommodated anybody or anything other than himself? So this is a powerful transit that could well work against him. If he loses, he will have to adjust his relationship to the principle of power. He has proven time and time again that he is unable to do this. This transit, therefore, could symbolize his final defeat and his inability to accept it.

CHART OF KAMALA HARRIS
Vice President Kamala Harris is in the political fight of her life. Her early lead has evaporated and there is no guarantee that, even with her campaign’s financial advantage and the fact that sanity is on her side, she makes it through to inauguration day as the winner. Let’s take a look at her astrology to see if she can pull it off.

Pluto, the biggest badass (dwarf) planet in the bunch, is currently making a hard 90-degree square from 29 Capricorn to both Kamala’s Sun at 27 Libra, and to her Moon at 27 Aries. That’s about as tough as astrology gets, what with Pluto’s reputation for cruelty, darkness and manipulative power plays. Pluto is also in a closing semi-sextile (30-degree angle) to her elevated Saturn in the 9th House, which among other things is associated with legal matters. This is very tough, one could almost say, prosecutorial. But of course, she has been a prosecutor. This is a make-or-break energy. It DOES give one a backbone, and she will need all her steel to handle what’s thrown at her.
Speaking of Saturn, we find it currently transiting her 10th House of public accomplishment. No one is elected to high office without having a good Saturn aspect, and this one is mixed. Saturn gives dignity and responsibility when used properly, but Richard Nixon fell as Saturn transited his 10th House during the Watergate scandal. Of course, he had given his enemies a sword, as he later put it, which is to say, reason to hate him, and so far, Kamala Harris has not. But she has a close Uranus-Pluto-Venus conjunction in the 4th House of foundations, and Saturn opposing these planets traditionally has been interpreted as loss.

Saturn on November 5th is at 12 Pisces, most closely in opposition to Uranus, the sudden change agent. As November and December, 2024, and January, 2025 roll on, Saturn makes exact oppositions to Uranus, then Pluto, and finally Venus. From a traditional astrological perspective, these are not encouraging signs for a Kamala Harris electoral win. However, in a battle for the soul of the nation and for signs of strength in the face of an opponent who wishes he had generals like Hitler had, and soon may if he reoccupies the Oval Office, these difficult transits can be viewed as necessary experiences. You would, in short, EXPECT to find difficult transits if you are facing such things, and here they are. So my interpretation is that these transits are strengthening rather than weakening.

Neptune, planet of both vision and of illusions, is also in Harris’s 10th House, at 27 Pisces. It’s currently making an awkward 150-degree inconjunct angle to her Sun, so her public image has had an extra bit of sheen to it since President Biden canceled his reelection bid and she was named the Democratic Party’s nominee. Neptune over the last few years has also been in a hard square to her Ascendant/Descendant axis (the axis of personal visibility and relationships), and until her emergence as the nominee she was relatively obscured as vice president. This involved her Nodal Axis as well, the axis of personal destiny, so we can see this as an obscurant period where, in the service of the president, she learned much and found her voice as she toured the nation concerning the abortion issue, so she was ready when the recent call came.

Uranus, planet of sudden change and surprises, on Election Day is sitting almost precisely on Harris’s lucky Jupiter, situated at 24 Taurus in Harris’s late 11th House of the general public. Jupiter-Uranus transits are generally extremely lucky. Trump has Jupiter conjoining his natal Uranus, and Uranus here is conjoining Harris’s Jupiter. Trump’s transit could be considered the luckier of the two aspects, as it is the transiting planet and Jupiter expands whatever planet it touches. Harris’s Uranus transit of her natal Jupiter is more unpredictable. It could be lucky, or it could be a breakdown of Harris’s luck, hard to say. Uranus is also in a hard square to her natal Saturn at 28 Aquarius, indicating a different approach to a current job or an entirely new job and life structure. Uranus in an awkward inconjunct her Sun at 27 Sun and in an initiating semi-sextile angle to her Moon at 27 Aries, says that much of her support comes from women rather than men. But it’s really not a definitive indicator of either victory or defeat.

Finally, we find lucky Jupiter currently transiting in Kamala’s 12th House of personal solitude, but also large institutions. Jupiter made its retrograde station at 21 Gemini on October 8th, and has been slowly receding ever since from her 24 Gemini Ascendant. Polls have shown that early October was a peak of popularity for her, and has been receding since. On November 5th, Jupiter will be at early 20 Gemini, but by late November will be making an exact square to her natal Venus. Here at last we have an unmistakably favorable aspect for Harris that does speak to a possible victory, but it also coincides with the exact Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Donald Trump’s chart. I’d call that a draw, with Trump maybe having a slight edge in a legal battle.
But it’s the current position of Kamala Harris’s Progressed Sun and Progressed Moon that are the strongest indicators of a possible electoral win. Her Progressed Sun is now at 28 Sagittarius, roughly conjunct the Galactic Center at 27 Sagittarius. This is an indicator of a collective destiny at this time, of being an instrument for a larger purpose than simply personal ambition. And it happens that she just turned 60, which means that now and over the last year her Sun has been in a harmonious sextile to her natal Sun, raising her public profile. On Election Day, her Progressed Sun will also be in an applying (approaching) sextile to her elevated Saturn, situated in the 9th House close to her Midheaven. (Joe Biden was elected as Saturn made a sextile to his Scorpio Sun. I predicted it would take a week to call the election for him, as the Saturn-Sun would take a week to become exact, and that’s exactly what happened.) So this aspect looks extremely positive for a possible electoral win for Kamala Harris.

The clincher for me is the position of Kamala’s Progressed Moon, which as we’ve said, is the second hand on the chart’s clock. It’s currently in mid-Cancer, in her late 1st House, approaching her 2nd House of material gain. The transit of the Progressed Moon through her 1st House of personality and leadership garnered favorable attention, especially from women (ruled in astrology by the Moon, as is the sign of Cancer). You couldn’t get a stronger astro aspect than this if you are talking about women’s rights, which is of course one of the main reasons women are turning out in droves to vote. On November 5th, Harris’s Progressed Moon will be at 14 Cancer, in a smooth 60-degree sextile to both Uranus and Pluto at 13-15 Virgo, respectively. This is an empowering aspect, particularly involving feminine energy. Kamala Harris has a winning aspect here, with women being the driving force in her possible victory.
BOTTOM LINE: The astrology is mixed, and astrologically speaking, Donald Trump’s prospects are strong…BUT…I am predicting an electoral win for Kamala Harris. Perhaps not a landslide, but a larger win than what current polls predict.

THE ISSUE: She may or may not actually be inaugurated.There is a treacherous journey to Inauguration Day. It’s this that I think will actually determine who occupies the Oval Office on January 20th, 2025. This election will not be completely decided on November 5th.

PIVOTAL DATES FROM NOVEMBER, 2024 TO JANUARY, 2025, WITH THEIR ASTROLOGY

Sunday, November 3rd, 2024.
Two days before Election Day, Mars makes a harsh and potentially deadly opposition to Pluto, 29 Cancer to 29 Capricorn, exact at 3:37 am PST, 6:37 am EST. Expect a violent weekend, with major threats of voter intimidation, perhaps even a deadly incident or two. The change from Daylight Savings Time back to Standard Time gives everyone an extra hour to either sleep, party down or commit heinous activities, and with the Moon just then moving into fire sign Sagittarius, it looks like a particularly reckless time. Protection of poll workers will be a major issue through November 5th.

Friday, November 15th, 2024
Saturn, planet of worldly responsibilities, turns direct at 6:20 am PST, 9:20 am EST. This is when I expect the election to actually be called, and the winner officially named. The period between the 5th and the 15th will be filled with irregularities and disputes regarding the counting of ballots in different states. This is a volatile period, and the ante is raised by this also being the date of the Full Moon, at 24’01 Taurus. In Kamala Harris’s birth chart, Jupiter, associated with good fortune and success, sits at…24 Taurus. BOOM!
But because this Full Moon is closely conjoined to Uranus, the chaos planet, it sets off an immense amount of upheaval. Donald Trump’s natal Mars is at 26 Leo, in a hard square to the Full Moon. And remember that Uranus is also precisely sitting on his Midheaven, the point ot status, at this time. This looks to be the moment when Trump is told that he has lost. He will not take it well. Nor, especially, will his followers. A Saturn station is generally a heavy time anyway, and this one looks especially somber and explosive. There may well be domestic terrorist attacks from Trump’s far-right acolytes at this time. There, I’ve said it. And I wish I didn’t have to.

Tuesday, November 19th, 2024
Pluto enters the forward-looking, inclusive, equality- and freedom-oriented air sign of Aquarius, where it will stay for 20 years. Its exact entre occurs at 12:29 pm PST, 3:29 pm EST. The Moon on July 4th, 1776 was moving through mid-to-late Aquarius. In a national chart, the Moon represents the people, the country’s citizens. Americans love their personal freedoms. This more inclusive Aquarian energy, coming into astrological prominence at this time, is why I think Kamala Harris, as a woman of color and with inclusive political policies, will be elected despite all the obstacles and shenanigans. She mirrors the cosmic energy patterns. As above, so below.
Monday, November 25th, 2024
Mercury turns retrograde until December 15th, 6:42 pm PST, 9:42 EST, at 22 Sagittarius. This is conjunct Donald Trump’s South Node-Moon conjunction in the 4th House at 20-21 Sagittarius, and exactly opposite his Sun at 22 Gemini in the 10th. With Jupiter in the mix at 17 Gemini, right on his natal Uranus, we’ve already discussed this as a time of legal consequence for Trump. I am still not convinced that the Supreme Court will not come to his rescue at this time. We’ll have to wait and see. And Mercury’s retrograde station occurs right next to Harris’s 7th House cusp (24 Sagittarius), so it affects her public image and relationship with others. Mercury will be moving backwards through her 6th House of work, health and service. Planning for a new administration may be set back by unforeseen circumstances, maybe legal skirmishes, maybe foreign events such as the Israeli-Hamas war. It doesn’t, unfortunately, look like a particularly happy holiday season.

Friday, December 5th, 2024 Saturday, December 6th, 2024
Mars and Neptune both make their stations, 24 hours and 10 minutes apart. Mars turns retrograde on December 5th, 3:33 pm PST, 6:33 pm EST, at 6 Leo. Neptune turns direct on December 6th, 3:43 pm PST, 6:43 EST, at 27’07” Pisces. Mars is raw energy, easily interpreted in this volatile political context as aggressive anger and possible attack. Neptune is about idealism, and is the ruling planet of both religion and of personal illusions. Sometimes, as in Christian nationalism, they coincide. If Donald Trump loses the election, but his Christian nationalist followers consider it God’s will that he win, do you think that they will take it lying down? I don’t. They will consider it their divine duty as holy warriors to make sure he is ensconsed in the Oval Office again. I therefore expect a major push toward that end, and this time period seems conducive for it. Venus and Ceres both enter Aquarius during these 24 hours, which seems favorable for Harris, but they both conjoin Pluto, mythological and astrological lord of death, at 0 Aquarius. Heaven help us!

Wednesday, December 11th, 2024 Tuesday, December 17th, 2024. Wednesday, December 25th, 2024
These are important dates for selecting the electors who will certify the election votes. December 11th is the date when the “Certificate of Ascertainment of Appointment of Electors”is issued by each state's chief executive, i.e., the governor. The certificate names and appoints those who will cast the state’s electoral votes for president and vice president. The certificates are treated as conclusive by Congress. This is what was in dispute in 2020, when Trump and his henchmen wanted to appoint partisan electors. They were blocked by the courts from doing so. December 17th is the date on which they meet and vote. This is the last chance a rival would have to challenge the electors. Fortunately, Mercury has gone direct on Sunday the 15th.
On that date, the Sun is at 25-26 Sagittarius, which roughly corresponds to the degree of the Galactic Center. This points to an important evolutionary moment, possibly the appointment of a woman to be the most powerful person in the world. Kamala Harris’s Descendant (7th House cusp) is 24 Sagittarius. Yet transiting Saturn at 13 Pisces in her 10th House is exactly opposite Uranus (fresh starts or chaos, take your pick) at 13 Virgo. The Moon in Cancer (strongly feminine energy) trines Neptune, planet of idealism at 27 Pisces, before entering dramatic Leo, where the Moon immediately makes a tough opposition to powermongering Pluto at 0 Aquarius. And remember that Donald Trump’s Mars sits at 26 Leo, so this is a conducive energy for his anger and rage. His followers will no doubt take note of it. Who knows what they will do? As Sam Jackson would say, Hold on to your butts!
The votes need to be received by December 25th, Christmas, which this year features a suspicious Moon in Scorpio. It makes a harsh square to Mars in the morning (expect arguments), followed by a soothing lunar sextile to the Sun at 4 Capricorn. Peace on Earth, right?

Friday, January 3rd, 2025 Monday, January 6, 2025.
The 119th Congress convenes on January 3rd in the new year, and control of Congress is vital because may well play a part in whether or not there is a legitimate transfer of power. If the Democratic Party wins back the House of Representatives, odds are they will nominate Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker. There is no doubt that he will certify the votes on January 6th, no matter who wins. But if the Republican Party keeps control of the House, and Kamala Harris wins the election, there is little doubt in my mind that Speaker Mike Johnson will refuse to certify the vote. I predicted that months ago and I reiterate it now. There has been much speculation about it in the media recently, but I looked months ago at the astrology of January 6th, and guess what I saw? Mercury, planet of communication, in a hard square to Neptune, planet of deception. One way or another, it’s going to be a day when no one believes anything other than what they perceive to be true. Good luck to us all!

INAUGURATION DAY, JANUARY 20th, 2025
And so we come to it in the end, the great battle of our time. Yes, I’m quoting King Theoden, but it’s appropriate. One person or the other is going to be inaugurated as President of the United States. Each side fears what the other will do. I would say that fears about Trump are more fact-based than fears about Harris, but in any case, it’s going to be a very divisive day when it should be a joyous one, given that America was founded on an idea of Liberty and Justice For All. That hasn’t proven to be the case, but we all generally aspire to it. Well, maybe not all of us.

The inauguration chart, set for noon in Washington D.C., is pretty harsh. It does not promise a peaceful administration, or concord between the political sides. Completely objectively, it looks like the chart of a dictatorship, which Trump has promised on Day One. Does this mean that Trump could win the election despite it all, or if he doesn’t, still be somehow appointed president by the Supreme Court? Yes, it does. At first glance, this chart looks more like Trump than Harris. The most obvious sign is of course the Sun conjoining Pluto at 0 Aquarius. Sun-Pluto is associated, politically, with power figures, authoritarian regimes; in a word, dictatorship. Sun-Pluto is power per se, to be used for good or ill, depending on self-awareness (Sun).

Yet it’s in Aquarius, a forward-looking sign, and at the beginning of Aquarius, at that. One thing that Donald Trump is not is forward-looking. His motto, Make America Great Again looks to the past, not the future. Remember that the Supreme Court gave the president almost unlimited exemption from legal prosecution for official acts as president. We will undoubtedly see the results in this particular administration. At no other time in the next 250 years will the Sun exactly conjoin Pluto at 0 Aquarius. This is the astrological signature of the beginning of a whole new era.

It’s said that history may not repeat itself precisely, but it rhymes. In this Sun-Pluto conjunction, we see history rhyme. It hearkens back to the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at 0 Aquarius on December 21st, 2020, which happened to also be the Winter Solstice. This “Great Conjunction” occurs once every 20 years. At that time, the Sun was moving into Capricorn, the sign of government. With both the Sun and Pluto, lord of power and deep insight, conjoined exactly on this still-vibrating power point, I am seeing the 2025 inauguration chart as depicting the opening of a new and inclusive era. So despite my initial trepidations, I am interpreting this chart as the astro signature of a Kamala Harris administration. In short, it looks like a combative but ultimately victorious part of the beginning of the fabled Age of Aquarius, when equality between the sexes is exemplified politcally.

We could go even further back, to February, 1962, when no less than seven planets were conjoined in Aquarius. There was a big Solar Eclipse on February 5th at 15 Aquarius that set the stage for all that the Sixties would become. Saturn, planet of dignity, responsibility, and longterm process, was there at–you guessed it–0 Aquarius. Mercury would follow within 48 hours. If that was the proverbial dawning of the Age of Aquarius, maybe this current time is the first glimpse of the actual Aquarian light.

Less than two years after this forward-looking conjunction in 1962, JFK was assassinated and America seemed to slide off into another sort of timeline. What horrors of history might have been prevented had the American government and its citizens had more Aquarian energy, and valued more inclusiveness and collective self-awareness? Recount the major events of American history since then in your head. Then come back to the present. Is it possible that, right now, that same, more ideal timeline is being given another chance to manifest?

The inauguration chart says, maybe so. But not without a fight. A Harris win is not astrologically or politically guaranteed. In which case, we can expect this chart to speak to great abuse and a probable collapse of American democracy. The chart has both possibilities in it. But in any case, Uranus rising guarantees it will be a revolutionary administration. Uranus, after all, is the ruling planet of Aquarius, and here it is, right up front in this chart. The chart promises new policies or utter chaos, take your pick. The fact that fortunate Jupiter is also in the 1st House, close to the 2nd House cusp of values and the economy, looks more like a smiley optimism, and is another reason I think the chart is more in accord with a Harris presidency and not a Trump reboot.
Mars in Cancer in the 3rd House, close to the Nadir, or 4th House cusp of domestic foundations, speaks to great anger on the homefront. A Harris administraton will have to deal with great and continuing resentment from the far-right provocateurs. A Trump presidency would be under continuous protest. Cancer being ruled by the Moon and associated with women, it’s easy to see women’s anger here depicted, as well as general unrest. A loose opposition of Mercury in Capricorn in the 9th House of legal matters, and Mars in the 3rd House of communications, looks like much angry protest against more traditionalist and restrictive laws.

We find a troubling sign in the 11th house of the general public (and of Congress), where we see Venus and Saturn conjoined. In a Trump administration, this looks like a restriction of LGBTQ+ rights, and a further restriction of abortion rights, including an outright federal ban. In a Harris administration, this still looks like a fight with Congress over such matters, as well as fiscal restrictions. Neptune is the 11th, in a fortunate sextile to the Midheaven, looks like a more idealistic public take on such things. In a Trump administration, though, it’s easy to see this as religion-based social restrictions.

There are two other factors, in the end, which incline me to think the chart speaks to a Harris presidency. One is the Moon in Libra, which is Kamala’s Sun sign, in the 6th House of work, service and health. One of her major points of focus is health care, which includes women’s bodily autonomy. These are Moon in the 6th House issues. The Moon makes a direct opposition to Chiron in the 12th House, which we can interpret as an effort to heal the past. The Moon is also exactly square Mercury in traditionalist Capricorn, situated in the 9th House of law. It reiterates the point about having legal tussles in puruit of more progressive policies, and for women in particular.

Finally, the transiting North Node, the collective destiny point, is in the 11th House, the natural home of Aquarius, which Pluto has just entered for 20 years. The North Node is also conjunct Neptune (idealism), and sits precisely on the Aries Point, 0 degrees Aries. This is the beginning degree of the entire zodiac, and to my mind speaks to the incoming administration representing an entirely new beginning. Which candidate promises a new beginning, rather than a glorification of the past? Kamala Harris. And that’s where, in this difficult assessment, I finally land.

A NEW WORLD IN THE MAKING
Over the next few years, the astrological aspects suggest movement toward a very different world, a big paradigm shift toward a more cohesive, integrated and dare we say, peaceful world. In 2025, Saturn and Neptune both move from emotional, watery Pisces into fiery, groundbreaking Aries, conjoining within half a degree in July, 2025 at 1 Aries. They both backtrack briefly into Pisces, and then conjoin exactly on February 20, 2026 at 0'45" Aries. This strongly suggests a breaking down of old reality structures, such as what happened when they were conjoined in early Capricorn (sign of government) in 1989, when the whole Communist bloc of Eastern Europe fell apart, culminating in the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Uranus, planet of revolution, also changes signs in 2025, moving from its current position in slow-to-change earth sign Taurus into socially and intellectually versatile air sign Gemini. It spends four months of 2025, early July through early November, in Gemini, before backtracking into Taurus. It reemerges into Gemini on April 25, 2026. This portends an entirely new way of thinking, one much more in attunement with the USA's natal Uranus in Gemini, when there was great excitement about the sheer power of ideas. And as it moves into early Gemini, Uranus also makes a very fortunate trine to power-mongering Pluto in early Aquarius. This forward-looking and inclusive energy pattern occurs five times from July, 2026 to May, 2029, but will begin to be felt in 2025 with the entry of Uranus into Gemini.

In short, there's a new world coming. With this in mind, it makes much more sense to me that the person holding the most powerful political office in the world during these upcoming crucial but progressive times, would be Kamala Harris, rather than Donald Trump. So I am choosing Harris winning because her sense of idealism and inclusionary social policies seem more in tune with the energies that will come into play during the next presidential term.
On a final note, there is an esoteric spiritual teaching, coming from the Theosophical tradition, about a convocation of spiritual masters, the Spiritual Hierarchy, that meet once a century to collectively invoke the energies and send forth the thoughtforms necessary for the evolution of humanity in the coming 100 years. According to this teaching, the meetings are held in the 25th year of each century. That means, if true, that the next convocation of these great beings will take place in 2025. The obvious need now is for a thrust toward world peace and human unity, for the purpose of saving the planet. The election or installation of Donald Trump as president would not do this.

So for all these reasons, I am predicting that Kamala Harris will win the presidency of the United States. God bless us all! We need it.

Predicted Winner Donald Trump

Who will win the USA Election 2024

When I first began my studies in Astrology, I was living in India. My family’s personal Astrologer emphasised that the most important thing to look for in a chart was whether the Native was Fortunate or Unfortunate. I found this interesting because Indian Astrologers are consulted regularly in respect of advising on suitable marriage partners and they wouldn’t knowingly recommend a future spouse if he didn’t have a certain amount of luck on his side.

To simplify my Prediction I will simply consider the following points.

The Sun, the Moon, the Ruler of the Ascendant and the placement of the Nodes.

Donald Trump.

Both his Sun and his Moon are in angular houses, as are his Nodes.

He was born on a Solar Eclipse with the Sun in Gemini in the 10th house conjunct the North Node and his Moon in Sagittarius is in the 4th house.

His Leo Ascendant is conjunct Regulus.

On the day of the Election, the two transiting benefics Jupiter and Venus will be conjunct his North Node & Sun and his Moon, adding to his good fortune. Of course transiting Venus was in the same place 8 years ago when he won the 2016 Election. ( as an aside even his natal Saturn and Jupiter are in mutual reception, mitigating the various issues that they could bring). Will he be “lucky” next week? Yes I think so.


Kamala Harris

Kamala was born on a Full Moon in Cadent houses with her Moon in Aries opposition her Libra Sun, which of course is in fall. Her ruler Mercury is in Scorpio and is placed in either a Cadent or Succedent house depending on what house system you use.

Her Mercury is semi-square Uranus and her communication is erratic to say the least! Does anyone know what she really stands for or what changes she is promising? Although she has a strong Saturn in Aquarius it is unfortunately retrograde.

However she does have the North Node conjunct her Gemini Ascendant. Transiting Jupiter is travelling thru her 12th house and has unfortunately turned retrograde and is moving away from delivering the benefit that Jupiter could have brought, had it crossed her Ascendant.

I really don’t think these charts need any further analysis as to me it’s pretty obvious that on the day of the Election Trump is definitely more fortunate than Harris.

Unfortunately with Jupiter retrograde and Mars about to retrograde back to 17 Cancer and of course Mercury going into its shadow period before turning retrograde, there will probably be a certain amount of contention in respect of the results, but in the end I have no doubt that Trump will be the new President of the USA.

Predicted Winner Kamala Harris

The 2024 Election: Kamala Ascends, Trump Descends
October 31, 2024
Who will win the 2024 election and what can we expect going forward? For the purposes of this piece I’ve looked into the charts of Harris and Walz, Trump and Walz, Joe Biden, and even RFK Jr. and Elon Musk. My pick is that Harris seems favored to win the presidential election, which I state with about 75% confidence. By contrast, Nate Silver has given Trump a 50.2% chance of winning and his model has Trump winning in 52 out of 100 simulations. I wouldn’t be too shocked to see Trump win, mostly because of some of JD Vance’s astrology, but I think the case in the heavens looks much clearer for a blue, democratic victory.
I’ve studied the transits, secondary progressions, dashas (including D9 and D10), solar returns, and solar arcs for the four names at the top of the tickets, and I’ll treat each one here separately, followed by my conclusions and predictions. In general, my track record with major predictions for political contests and sports has been very good, although I did lean the wrong way in 2008’s election.
REVIEWING PAST PREDICTIONS
I have accurately made some very good predictions involving Trump over the last five years, but there’s also a Trump prediction that I may have completely gotten wrong, though I think we’re going to need the election outcome for the final word on that.
On August 9th, 2022, on my FB page I wrote a piece titled, “Donald Trump: His Darkness Is Rising | His Epic Falling.” Here are some quotes from that piece:
“Neptune will also be in a position to crush [Trump’s] hopes and dreams at the 2022 election, at least electorally (I suspect). It looks like the Goddess Power will be fully activated on election day, likely powering Democrats to unexpected victories as America rejects the new medieval Supreme Court. Neptune will be tightly squaring Trump's Sun and Moon, a 50-foot wall of nope, indeed.”
Here’s a prediction from August of 2022 that landed well:
“January 27, 2024 looks to be a very unhappy day for him, as well as the few months that follow that key turning point, when his progressed moon leaves the imprisonment of the 12th sign (though not yet the 12th house!), only to find herself on his ASC while in her least favorite place, Scorpio.”
What happened on January 26th, 2024, just one day before the 27th? He was ordered by a judge to pay E Jean Carroll $83 million. Not to be outdone, in February the state of New York fined him $454 million and severely limited his ability to do business in New York for three years. I’d say I got this one largely right.
Here's another one I got really right, from the same piece:
“… (his legal disappointments really heightening next March and April) …”
Once this prediction was proven true, I received some of the best praise I’ve ever received on a prediction. Because 7-8 months before Trump was indicted--on 34 felony counts--for the first time, the first US president to ever be indicted, I had pointed out March and April in 2023 as being a major legal disappointment for him, and though it may be hard to remember a time when Trump wasn’t indicted for various crimes or even a convicted felon, this is exactly when we started to come to terms with the actual reality of Trump appearing in court and facing real legal consequences. At the time, it was shocking and a very big deal. In the end, he would be found guilty on these 34 felony counts, making that prediction even better in hindsight.
Another quote from August 9th, 2022:
“His ASC itself even reaches 3 Scorpio on October 27, 2024, while the US 2P Saturn is also 3 Scorpio Rx. Making him bitterly unpopular if not a cartoon villain (Hillary Clinton, with Sun at 3 Scorpio, says hi) just prior to the 2024 election, and then of course nothing positive will come out of him following that date either. Darkness, darkness, darkness.”
Trump's recent Madison Square Garden rally has been compared to a nazi or KKK rally, so cartoon villainy seems about right.
But here’s what I got at least partially wrong. I wrote about January – April of 2024 and talked about this being a particularly tough time for Trump, which it clearly was legally, but this made me suspect that he could be replaced by the GOP for other candidates during the primaries since he was clearly going to going through such a tough time. He did indeed have a more vigorous primary battle than he’d hoped for against Nikki Haley, and January and February were brutal months for him legally, but his political star didn’t fall far enough at this time to lose the nomination.
So my prediction for Trump’s political demise may have been about 10 months too early, because his ASC reaching 3 Scorpio right at the election itself may be the final nail in that political coffin, at least in terms of running for office.
Here's another one of my better predictions, this one for the 2020 election, written October 24, 2020, in a piece titled, "Who wins the Election? | Astro-Parallel Universes:"
"Kamala Harris's secondary progressions show a dramatic, once-in-a-lifetime event as Saturn ingresses from Aquarius to Pisces shortly after the election, on November 7th. While this could either show her falling from grace or assuming responsibility for crises, I lean toward the latter interpretation as Pisces is also her whole sign 10th, and could easily suggest her assuming responsibility ..."
This one was particularly neat because the winners of the 2020 election were announced more officially in the weekend following the election, pretty much on Saturday, November 7th.
DONALD TRUMP
I’ll start with Trump because I think he gives us a fascinating example of a transit that has undoubtedly led many astrologers to predict a Trump victory, and because his secondary progressions, and other factors, look so very unfavorable for his victory.
The transit that must look like a Trump victory to many astrologers, especially vedic astrologers, is the transit of Jupiter Rx over his natal Sun/NNode/Uranus conjunction. This part of his natal chart generally shows his dramatic success in life and with the media, and Jupiter could be interpreted as expanding that success with a win. I don’t think so, though. T-Jupiter is in Gemini and Rx, quite a set-up for extreme (Rx) dishonesty (Gemini) around the election, and it conjoins his Rahu, his insatiable desire for success, but also a part of us that is out of control, and I think what we see here is a raging, dishonest meltdown.
The most potent indications of what seems to be his very bad night coming up on election night is the position of his secondary progressed Moon, at 10 Scorpio, in a perfect, applying square to his natal Pluto at 10 Leo. It’s hard to imagine a more brutal progression for him, because it certainly shows him being in a remarkably dark space on election night and the days between the election and November 21st when the square perfects. He’s about to have one of the most emotionally charged and challenging months of his life.
This may be showing another layer of skin coming off to reveal the beastlike impulses that clearly drive him relentlessly to personalize everything into grievances, or a terrifying fear of powerlessness, failure, or incarceration. But this is also the very definition of “dark,” so there is also no limit here to his frothing capacity for vicious revenge. This Moon-Pluto event is tremendously significant, and it ensures that he will be in a wounded and vengeful space. It’s hard for me to imagine this equates to him winning, though if it does, he will have lost whatever sanity he might’ve had following the election and then the worst case scenarios of dictatorship might just unfold.
I see plenty of supporting evidence for him having such an emotionally charged and challenging moment following the election. Neptune plays a triple role in showing his powerlessless and loss. By transit, Neptune continues to hover around his 8th house cusps, which are around 28-29 Pisces, so his time of emotional turmoil, acting from dark impulses, and financial problems continues. More specifically, the transiting South Node forms a tight, applying conjunction with his natal Neptune for the election, showing an incredibly harsh and unpleasant experience around something very sensitive in his life. In solar arcs, Neptune is just between his natal South Node-Moon conjunction, again showing chaotic, poor results as he attempts to appeal to the public through his dark rhetoric, but that he has lost too many of them, especially women (Moon).
Let’s go back to jyotish. Trump’s new dasha-bhukti, Jupiter/Venus, might well show his victory, and I’m sure many have interpreted it as such. They flank his first house from sidereal Virgo and Cancer, which supports him generally, though neither planet is terribly well placed in his chart, as we can see through his issues with the law (Jupiter) and his wives (Venus). Jupiter’s grand vision is too narrowed and made critical by Virgo and Venus is tightly conjoined by Saturn in the 12th, while Saturn is the lord of his tough luck 6th House in both zodiacs. So while these two planets have elevated his status in life, they’ve also given him major issues along the way. If we consider them in the D9 and D10, the navamsa has Venus in the 12th from his Jupiter with neither planet angular or in trikona. In the D10, Jupiter is in its fall, and Venus is exalted, but in the 6th with Saturn, more likely showing his defeat at the hands of a popular female figure, or at minimum going to battle with her for the coming years.
Another transit: Pluto is transiting extremely closely to his 6th house cusp (Equal House), and applying for the election. This could very well look like victory, as it did when Mars in Cap was in the same place for him for the 2016 election (I also take Pluto’s exaltation to be Cap). It certainly shows his unshakable desire for victory, so of course he won’t give up here without one hell of a fight. However, this T-Pluto has just been opposed by T-Mars, with Mars at the end of Cancer for this MSG rally that’s been compared to a nazi or KKK rally, and then Mars hovers near his 12th house cusp showing that he is actually powerless during the actual election, though also capable of causing chaos.
As I’d written about in August of 2022, Trump’s secondary progressed ASC precisely reaches 3 Scorpio within a week of the 2024 election. This is fascinating, as 3 Scorpio is the least favorite degree of the Moon, the opposite of her exaltation degree. This is a really bad degree for a politician who wants to appeal to the masses. It can apparently help you appeal to people’s worst instincts, as we see through Trump, but it is just about the astrological opposite of “popularity.” Hilary Clinton’s Sun is at 3 Scorpio, and we can see the dark and unfortunate quality of this degree through what happened with her husband and Monica Lewinsky, as well as her heart-breaking, and world-changing, 2016 loss.
Trump’s astrology likely shows a set up for his electoral loss, following by a psychological meltdown into the darkest places we’ve ever seen from him, as that Jupiter transit shows him lying like never before (and boy is that saying something) and sowing chaos and the instinct for rebellion and violence as he seeks to end what has actually made America great for nearly 250 years—democratic elections with a peaceful transfer of power. All because his insecure ego and tiny fingers, fueled by his malignant narcissism and sociopathy, seeks to do his foreign handler’s bidding and end America as we know it. But not on her watch …

KAMALA HARRIS
I think the transits for Harris are a mixed bag on election night, but again the secondary progressions point toward her victory.
Her best and most interesting transit on election day is T-Venus just approaching the Descendant and South Node in her chart. At 6:30 pm on the day after the election, transiting Venus crosses the Descendant and enters her 7th in Sag in both zodiacs, trining her Moon, and that puts her under a dramatic spotlight, as democratic voters hope she comes powerfully before the public as a kind of savior to celebrate victory. The name Kamala is connected with the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, and the presence of the South Node here makes me think that the election is likely to fulfill this projection for a lot of people: Kamala as a manifestation of some kind of divine feminine presence, standing in the way of the death of democracy and decency, the end of women’s rights, and the rise of authoritarianism in America.

Some of her other transits don’t look as favorable. T-Mars squares her Mercury, so there’s some bad news along the way, as she will still be forced to fight for her presidency even if she wins the election. The transiting Sun in tropical Scorpio and sidereal Libra hovers over her N-Neptune on her 6th house cusp; this looks like she is still powerless over something in the fight: the raging, sociopathic Trump and all the damage he seeks to cause. And the transit of Uranus in its fall in Taurus (a symbol of the rise of authoritarianism and the loss of human rights) over her Jupiter shows that her victory would be marred by the ongoing battle with America’s wannabe dictator, something Trump promised to be on day one.

The Cancer Moon in Kamala Harris’ secondary-progressed chart sextiles 2P-Uranus tightly, showing an overwhelmingly effective wave of support around women’s issues and solidarity. Two months later, her 2P-Moon sextiles Pluto and Jupiter. The same Moon creates a grand trine with the 2P Chiron and Neptune in Pisces-Scorpio, revealing a kite formed by her 2P Cancer Moon as it approaches the middle of Cancer, exaltation degree of Jupiter. Add Jupiter and we have five points of a six-pointed star in earth and water signs, while she has a full six-pointed star in her natal chart in air and fire signs!
That’s the thing about Kamala Harris’s chart. It’s a rare alignment to see that six-pointed star, which is formed by her Sun in Libra, DSC/Snode in Sag, Saturn in Aquarius, Moon in Aries, ASC/NNode in Gemini, and Mars in Leo, and overall it leads me to believe that she’ll have a special amount of grace present throughout her life. As a left-leaning voter, I’m very much heartened by what this seems to show. It’s two patterns interlocking, two equilateral triangles forming the proverbial Star of David. If what is as above is also so below, then Harris seems to have been born under a special kind of alignment of stars.
Her Dasha/Bhukti is Rahu/Venus, which makes that transit of Venus over her DSC/SNode super significant. It looks like a moment of destiny and the emphasis on Sagittarius seems to show a more noble and dignified appearance of the goddess, if you will. I expect she will be an embodiment of some goodness and decency, whether in victory or defeat. Her D9 has as prominent Rahu in the 1st House, which is good news for dems, though Venus sits in Scorpio within 1 degree of the Sun and five degrees from Saturn; hard to say if this is ‘good’ or not, because it does show something very distressing, but what’s distressing is again likely to be Trump’s madness and all that his raging vengefulness motivates among his following: a marred victory? Her D10 features Rahu in the first in Gemini, another good sign for the dems, and Venus in Aries in the 11th in trine to Mars in Sag, which looks like great success thanks to the efforts of female voters and their allies. Overall, I think Kamala has a huge problem: Donald Trump and all of his insane antics that will follow the election. But I also think she’ll win the election first.

JD VANCE
We do have a birth time for JD Vance! After reviewing Harris and Trump, I think the signs point very much at a Kamala victory as she ascends for her followers like a savior goddess, followed by a monstrous Trump displaying many of the ugliest potentials known to humankind. Vance does have one very nice transit on election night, but I don’t think it’s enough.

Transiting Venus precisely conjoins his 5th Porphyry house cusp, just like it did for Kamala in 2020 and Trump in 2016; this even repeats in his solar return for Washington, DC this year. This would seem like very good news for Vance, as the 5th has a connection with politics, but it could also show a premature celebration of victory by the Vance team on election night, or it could show that Vance’s star rises significantly even in defeat as he looks forward to the rest of his career.

His secondary progressions show a much less rosy picture to me, as 2P Mercury in Virgo moves toward precise conjunction with his 12th house cusp, and his 2P Moon is two months away from a perfect square to his natal Mercury in Virgo. Someone with Mercury in Virgo is used to a certain amount of success, which Vance has achieved both politically and through his writing. But this seems like a time of his life when that exalted Mercury is not so connected with success, but rather, loss.

His dasha/bhukti is Saturn/Saturn, and this part actually looks very good for his chances, which suggests to me that he will benefit from the election one way or another. But I suspect that his benefit will come through losing the election, yet elevating his status anyway. But with Saturn exalted in Libra in his natal in the 3rd, in Aquarius in the 10th of his D9/navamsa, and in Pisces but conjunct Jupiter in the 7th of his D10/dasamsa, he clearly has some very potent astrology in his favor at this time, and this is the main reason I wouldn’t be shocked to see Trump win. Another scenario is a Trump win followed by him having to step aside (perhaps an assassination?) and Vance becoming president; while I don’t think that’s likely I have to throw that out there as a real possibility—more likely Vance finds a way to turn this electoral loss into personal gain.

TIM WALZ
Although Tim Walz has one transit that looks unpleasant for the election, what’s much stronger is that his transits and progressions together seem to show something very special, including what is perhaps the most amazing connection for any of the four major candidates. We don’t have his birth time, so I’m quite limited in what I can do with Walz, but there are still some pieces we can see (no houses, sadly).
Transiting Saturn (in sidereal Aquarius) opposes Walz’s natal Pluto (in sidereal Leo), which looks more like a moment of deaths or endings than becoming the vice president of the US, but the Leo/Aquarius emphasis does potentially point toward greater leadership, and the aspect doesn’t actually perfect. However, it would seem that this would also come with some very serious and unpleasant events following the election.
There’s an amazing transit and an amazing progression for Walz. By transit, the north node conjoins his Mars in tropical Aries; Walz also has the Sun and Jupiter in Aries. A grand trine is formed with transiting Mercury in Sag and Mars in Leo. Boy, does that look like a powerful moment of destiny that propels Walz towards his next battle and victory.

His secondary progressions show a remarkable conjunction of 2P Venus with his natal NNode, and if we use a noon birth time for him, 2P Venus is at 5 degrees and 40 minutes of tropical Cancer for the election, while his natal north node is at 5 degrees and 39 minutes of the same. A powerful moment of destiny highlighted by the emphasis on the sweetness of the feminine and issues around women’s reproductive rights. Not to mention, his female running mate who looks to be elevated in the heavens the day after the election.
And so the final picture with the candidates emerges: Kamala is considered a savior by her people, Trump descends into utter madness and darkness, Vance loses but still somehow wins, and Walz rides a wave of potent astrology highlighting the importance of the feminine and his own kickass temperament and destiny.

JOE BIDEN
Biden had some remarkably helpful influences from Neptune around the 2020 election, and you might recall one of my pieces from 2020 that talked about “Poseidon for Biden.” Well, he has it again, as Neptune trines his natal Sun and Venus, which seems to be showing some kind of grace as his vice president takes home the electoral dub or victory.

ELON MUSK
You might recall my rectification of Musk’s chart to 11:27 am in Pretoria, South Africa. My rectification gives him Virgo Rising in both zodiacs, with Pluto in double-Virgo (both zodiacs) on the ASC. However, transiting Neptune reaches one of the most exact aspects of his election as it opposes Musk’s natal Pluto. Neptune will station at 27 degrees and 7 minutes of tropical Pisces on December 8th; Elon’s natal Pluto sits at 27 degrees and 5 minutes of tropical Virgo.
OUCH! Talk about being powerless around power. I suspect that Musk is about to have wasted a tremendous amount of money on this election, not to mention all the money he overspent on being forced to acquire Twitter (which I had successfully predicted ahead of time, as you might recall), and now he’s also going to have to deal with legal issues after his million dollar a day scheme to register voters for Trump may very well be illegal election interference.
RFK, JR.

I’ll point out one transit to show why I don’t think RFK is going to be very happy with the results of the election. He had once said that Trump is a sociopath (of course he is, btw) and a terrible president. But RFK Jr. sold all of his integrity when he joined Trump’s team after Kamala refused to make a deal with him. But Kennedy’s karma here may be swift.
Transiting Pluto will be at 5 degrees and 35 minutes of sidereal Capricorn on election day. RFK Jr’s natal Mercury sits at 6 degrees and 8 minutes of sidereal Capricorn. This aspect perfects on December 5th, showing that he’s in a period of major endings that will affect him in a dramatic way both externally and mentally.

THE BIG PICTURE
The big picture is at least somewhat concerning to me around the election, as a progressive and democratic voter. Uranus, I’m convinced, finds his fall in Taurus, and so when we consider both tropical and sidereal, we’re still in the middle of a right-wing swing globally speaking and one that will tend to favor movements toward more controlling and fascistic governments, as well as the inevitable backlash from humans who value human freedom. If the arc of human history does indeed bend toward justice, as MLK Jr. once said, this Uranus transit reflects a time period during which the pendulum tends to swing the other way in some significant ways.

This summer, we saw the repeat of one of the astrological factors that were present when Hitler invaded Paris and conquered France. That is when Uranus entered Taurus in both tropical and sidereal astrology, which happened just this last summer. Soon afterward there was a European election for the European Parliament that surprisingly saw the right gaining seats, but that was followed by elections in France and UK that went more toward liberal parties. It seems a chilly omen for either the political future of Europe during Uranus’s passage through sidereal Taurus, or alternately a message that the more authoritarian impulses may be played out through other nations rather than Europe this time around. Countries like France saw right-wing gains in the European Parliament, but then a victory for Macron.

Bringing this back to the US, what does it mean that we’re entering a period when the planet seems especially susceptible to authoritarianism? On the one hand, that seems obvious enough due to Trump’s rather arguably Hitlerian style, as we are talking about realities such as Project 2025, the loss of abortion rights in America, and his promised largest mass deportation in American history.

The most concerning omen in the heavens since the Saturn-Ceres-Pluto conjunction of January 2020 is the upcoming conjunction of Saturn and Neptune around the first and second degrees of tropical Aries, in the spring and summer of 2025, echoing the start of the US Civil War, which began within 24 hours of the last time Neptune entered tropical Aries. I’ve been saying for awhile here and to clients that I expect 2025 to be an overall chaotic and intense year, especially the spring and summer, and I don’t think we’ll know how to navigate around that just yet because we simply aren’t there yet. But the symbolism is clear: aggressive impulses misguided by deceptions and manipulations, as well as the possibility of major global catastrophes when it comes to ‘earth changes’ as well as the oceans, which are really beginning to overheat.

This obviously follows the US election and promises a very significant window of possibility for those who want to wage wars or commit violence. The nature of Saturn in Aries is that it will often “act a fool,” out of touch with the sort of reality that allows people to work together most effectively, such as in government. It does highlight courage, but the presence of Neptune with Saturn here suggests courage arising from delusions and deceptions.
Additionally, the re-entry of Pluto in Aquarius concerns me again, as it’s the final toll of a bell signaling we’re entering and upside down world where people who actively want to restrict freedom and abuse democratic norms believe they’re patriots literally fighting for what America stands for. Aquarius can represent the factions of fixed thinking that turns others into adversaries, and among the right, an ironic fascination with thought control. The first degree of tropical Aquarius figured prominently in Trump’s 2016 victory as well as January 6th. So we aren’t exactly in Kansas anymore.

So even though the pendulum of history is swinging toward authoritarianism at this time, even though America has some dark days ahead following the election, especially during the spring and summer of 2025, I suspect, if you’re voting blue, that at least the election will elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz president and vice president. But that outcome figures to be received, let’s say, not very charitably by those who will be lied to and mislead by the darkness of Donald Trump. The transits to the USA Sibley chart make me wonder if various structures and government buildings will be safe in the aftermath of the election, and I am quite concerned about that.

If you’ve enjoyed this piece, whether you agree with me or not, I would greatly appreciate your likes, comments, shares, and so on. My social media reach isn’t great these days after choosing to focus on my clients, students, and family for so long, so I would really appreciate any help here! Thanks so much for reading!
Humbly,
In surrender,
May all beings be happy and free!

Predicted Winner: Either Donald Trump or J.D. Vance

If we cast the chart for 00:00, 5th November 2024 (Washington D.C.), we can see the Moon's placement at 24 Sagittarius!!! The same Moon is going to be OOB (out-of-bounds), it's like we have Moon/Uranus conjunction, we can expect indeed big chaos there!!!

At 24 Sagittarius there is South Node of VP Kamala Harris, as well as progressed Moon of late President Abraham Linkoln (on 12th April 1861-when the Civil War has been started)

This means, that with this election, Kamala Harris is a portal for 'waking up' the memory on 12th April 1861, so this woman is going to be a cuase of some conflicts, she is a portal!

Progressed Mars of Robert F Kennedy Jr is at 24 Sagittarius-I am mentioning him because as he joined Trump's team, his chart is speaking a lot!!!
Moreover, 24-25 of mutable signs were activated on 18th September 2024 (when progressed Moon of the US was at 24 Pisces) with the lunar eclipse at 25 Pisces.
On 15th December 2024 there will be the Full Moon at 24 Gemini (the 1st quarter of the lunar eclipse from 18th September 2024).
On 28th January 2025 Venus (daughter of Uranus, so she represents protests, revolutions) starts her shadow journey at 24 Pisces!!!
On 14th March 2025 there will be the lunar eclipse at 24 Virgo!!! At 24 Virgo there is solar arc Moon of Robert F Kennedy Jr, as well as Trump's solar arc Mercury (ruler of his natal Sun/Uranus in Gemini, in 10th-he as president)
On 13 April 2025 Venus turns direct at 24 Pisces!!!

How the US is going to vote we always see through secondary progressed Moon f the US. In November 2024 it is placed at 27 Pisces, which is Venus' exaltation degree, as well as Asc in the chart for 12th April 1861 (the US Civil War). As I was speaking long time ago, at 27 Pisces Michelle Obama, the former first lady, has her progressed Sun (her husband) during 2024. So, voters are going to vote in the favour of her husband, even he is not a real candidate, but as they support Kamala, they are helping her a lot! But, but, as at 27 Pisces in the history of the US we had civil war, Tuesday's elections are opening pandora box.

Since Robert F Kennedy Jr joined Trump's team, he helps a lot to Donald Trump, because his progressed angular houses go over 27 of mutable: ASc 27 Virgo, Desc 27 Pisces, Ic 27Sagittarius, Mc 27 Gemini. So, both sides have 27 of mutable!!!
Recall Jupiter-Saturn conj.at 0 Aquarius in December 2020, just after Biden won. Transit Moon's placement was then at 27 Pisces too. What we got after? We got 6th January 2021, Trump's supporters attacked the Capitol in Washington D.C. Now you can feel the energy of 27 Pisces, even it is all about Venus'exaltation degree, Venus is blood and revolution. At the same degree asteroid Helen of Troy was discovered, so, as progressed Sun of Michelle Obama is at 27 Pisces, we can say this family plays a role of Trojan war, and Kamala just could be that trojan horse, having her in White House would be just a performance, the real ruler would be Barack Obama!

At 27 Pisces Trump has his draco Uranus (revolution)
On 5th November, Venus is also OOB, just left behind an opposition with weak Rx Jupiter at 20 Gemini (all goes over Trump's natal lunar eclipse), so we can be sure there were some illegal issues regarding voting, already.
Voting with Mars/Pluto opposition is also a sign that this won't go without some conflicts. Few days ago I posted that even Pentagon may be involved, after elections.

On 20th January 2025, Inauguration day, we have Sun/Pluto at MC, so we can clearly see that the US is going to get a male for its President, so it could be indeed Donald Trump, but, until 20th January 2025, there must be some mess, post election time will be something like -chaos! Also, there is a huge possibility that on Inauguration day there may be some assassination, for 18 of cardinal are in the air (Moon 18 Libra, Mercury 18 Capricorn, Chiron 19 Aries, Robert F Kennedy Jr has axis IC-Mc over 19 Libra-19 Aries, all Kennedy's lost their lives when 18 of Cancer was activated). J.D. Vance has his natal Moon at 19 Libra (the Sun's fall degree-where sensitive degree for life)!!!

Also, if we cast the chart of Inauguration as Antiscia/ContraAntiscia, we get 11 of mutable, and Robert F Kennedy Jr's father was killed when 11 Virgo was activated. We already had one lunation at 11 Virgo, on 2nd September 2024.
All my articles on this topic are included within the post which I am now reposting here:

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17Zj4ftuZn/

Also, I would add that in January 2025 progressed Moon of the US is coming at 0 Aries, at the same degree Saturn an Neptune will make their conjunction (in July 2025, but not yet exact, and in February 2026 exact), and the new world is going to be born, Russia is going to have the main role is bringing that 'new born child' at 0 Aries, because SAturn/Neptune cycle is alwalys linked with Russia. This all may have something with BRICS, as new world concept. J.D. Vance progressed axis Asc/Desc is going to be in 2025 at 0 Libra/0 Aries!

At 0 Aries, both, Tulsi Gabard, as well as Robert F Kennedy Jr-have their draco spots, Tulsi her draco Asc, Robert his draco Venus
Also, draco Moon of Robert F Kennedy Jr is at 19 Virgo, and the US has its progressed Sun at 19 Pisces. Progressed Sun of Trump's VP mate JD Vance is at 19 Virgo too. If Biden stayed a candidate with his natal Mc at 19 Virgo-he would have much bigger chance!!!Even his cognitive health is not well...
So, one more time, if there will be inauguration day at all, on 20th January 2025, with Sun/Pluto at MC-the US should get a male entering the White House!!! But, even inauguration day brings a picture of blood, death, assassianations...

Post elections day are also bringing a lot of chaos, mess, The Pentagon may be involved-its Sun Placement is 19 Virgo, so or they will keep Biden in office, or they will choose JD Vance-Kennedy-Trump (remember, Biden's Mc 19 Virgo, JD Vance progressed Sun 19 Virgo, Kennedy's draco Moon 19 Virgo...). Why The Pentagon may be involved, for its progressed Sun is at 11 Sagittarius, and progressed Moon in November is at 11 Gemini-11 of mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, SAgittarius, Pisces) were activated when father of Robert F Kennedy Jr was killed!!!

One more sign that the energy of Civil War is in the air is this-Tulsi Gabard was born on 12th April 1981, the US Civil War has been started on 12th April 1861
With Mars/Pluto oppositon on 5th November, Moon Venus OOB, all around Kamala's South Node and progressed Moon of Linkoln in April 1861 (plus progressed Mars of Robert F Kennedy Jr)-there is no chance to skip chaos.... But, if 20th January 2025 comes, at all, the US should get a male President in the White House! Mercury is at 3 Sagittarius, in exile ,conjunct Biden's natal Asc, in square with stacionary Rx Saturn at 12-13 Pisces (Mercury falls degree) - maybe we will all wait for results,there may be some problem with getting results...
