The Electoral Battle Begins

Overview

The election for President of the US is probably the most focused on event for the coming week. Astrologers and non-astrologers are predicting who will win a term in the office often referred to as the White House Oval Room. The two major political parties are working at a high pitch. Opinion polls are often inaccurate at predicting a winner of the most electoral votes. The issue is complicated. Astrologers are also making predictions, some based on formatted theories. Putting aside personal preferences while examining natal charts of the candidates is difficult. There is also the problem of differentiating between the winner of the popular vote and the winner of the electoral college vote. In fact, the candidates personal abilities that we can see in natal charts probably matter less than the perception that the electorate has of the affiliation to party. While personal charisma plays a significant role in the choice of the majority, other factors such as those identified by Allan Lichtman who has predicted successfully 9 of the last 10 elections. You can listen to him explain his method on a video at this link: https://youtu.be/H_4NzsWT3LA?si=uog7MXeeYz5iO0L
Astrological analysis: both candidates in this election have Full Moon natal charts. Each has shown remarkable success in their careers. Astrologers will not only be looking at natal charts, but how the transiting planets are influencing their probable success at this point in their lives. We should also consider secondary progression charts. This secondary progression chart is progressing the natal planets one day for each year of the life. This chart shows the inner development rather than external influences of the transits.  Then, also considering the mood and preferences of the electorate, the New Moon prior to the election is an important indicator. At the New Moon on November 1st, Mars is approaching opposition aspect to Pluto with only 26’ orb. The New Moon is at 9 degrees Scorpio, with Pluto, the modern planet dispositor of planets in Scorpio, and Mars the traditional dispositor of the planets in Scorpio. Deep seated emotional responses are indicated, even as the two planets are destined to change signs (and polarity), Mars ingress Leo on election day and Pluto ingress Aquarius on November 20th. Both candidates have Mars in the sign Leo in their natal charts, however, for DJT Mars ingress is on the cusp of his natal 12th House of hidden enemies, and could indicate incarceration. Further to this theme, his progressed chart has a stellium in the natal 12th House. For Kamala Harris, natal Mars in Leo is in posited in natal 3rd House, disposed of by the Sun in her natal 5th House. The New Moon is also in her 5th House. For DJT, the New Moon occurs in his natal 3rd House, the dispositors Pluto and Mars are both natal in his 12 House, so again the theme of the hidden enemy and incarceration is indicated. Transiting Jupiter retrograde is conjunction aspect to natal Rahu, doubly separating from natal Sun and approaching natal Uranus in Gemini. What occurs is an enhanced reversal of fortune. You may read this as an unexpected gain, however with Mars ingress to natal 12 on election day, there is a strong indication of defeat.

Summary of major and minor aspects of the week

Wednesday October 30th — The Libra Moon will be square aspect to Ceres in Capricorn today, and later in an opposition aspect to Chiron in Aries. A T-square configuration in cardinal signs is operational. Decisions will be made, based on relative strength of power. Ceres represents the abducted, or even the neglected child who needs to gain representation, unable to represent oneself due to a misfortune. The Chiron leg of the T-square configuration represents the direct (Aries) action taken from the point of view of experience, based therefore on precedence. Mercury in Scorpio is in partile opposition aspect to Uranus retro in Taurus, a good indication of unexpected reversals. Pluto in Capricorn  is the dispositor of Mercury, with Mars in Cancer in an approaching opposition aspect to Pluto. Mars is regarded as a secondary ruler of Scorpio, and therefore also a dispositor of Mercury. Jupiter retro in Gemini is partile sextile aspect to Chiron in Aries, giving support to the wounded healer, and the wounded among us. The Moon trine aspect to Jupiter as it is in opposition aspect with Chiron, promised aid should be delivered. Mars opposition aspect to Pluto signifies tension and possible violence, most likely attacks over the next few days.

As individuals we strive for enjoyment, but also for perfection. In the age of the Internet, we can seek answers to medical issues, find emotional support and essentially reach goals for self-improvement in many areas.
