America – land of strife, violence, rugged individualism and Donald Trump – is an alpha country. It’s the dominant country in a tribe of countries. The message is clear: Don’t mess with Uncle Sam and its bombs. America is stocked up on weapons but does it have enough to face wars in the Middle East, Ukraine and Taiwan?
America is conflicted, angry and bitterly divided: an irrational, unpredictable tragedy according to some. Its politics is an ongoing goat rodeo – the toxic hate is palpable. It’s a world champion at rewriting history – the spinorama capital of the universe and we’re not talking about fancy skating moves performed by ice hockey players.
In 2024 the US presidential election and Donald Trump’s court cases will dominant the global news stream.
Trump’s soap opera rolls on – in and out of court. With its over-the-top drama and intrigue America is mesmerized: the world is flabbergasted. The political analysts and opinion makers will reach new heights of irrationality; the right and left wing social media will be going crazy; and Uranus – the unpredictable planet – will deliver some unexpected, sensational shocks.
In 2024 Generative AI is turbocharging the spread of propaganda and disinformation. Thousands of deepfakes aka fabricated political videos created by AI algorithms will surface on social media. Voters won’t be able to distinguish the real from the fake. Paranoid nationalism is being fueled by lies, exaggeration and cynical politicians.
On November 5, 2024 America elects a new president.
America in 2024 will emerge out of America in 2023.
According to popular thinking the stage is set – Joe Biden and Donald Trump will challenge each other for the presidency – but during 2024 Uranus will disturb and disrupt what’s going on so you and all the expert political analysts can expect the unexpected.

In 2024 Mars dominates. There are five Mars conjunctions in the sky. Mars is the planet of aggression, strife, anger, hate and revenge. It has an insatiable appetite for violence and likes to hurt people.
America’s chart progressed to December 31, 2024
Chart data is July 4, 1776 at 12.14am LMT, Philadelphia (74W08, 39N57)
Mars in America’s chart is in house 1 (the people) and in 2024 progressed Sun (politics) in house 11 is parallel progressed Mars; progressed ascendant (the people) is parallel birth chart Mars; and progressed Mars (alcohol and sex) is parallel progressed Neptune (drugs, lies and exaggeration). The stimulation to Mars is sure to exacerbate the level of political strife, feuding, anger, hatred, bigotry, dangerous rhetoric and violence.
In January 2024 progressed Sun parallel birth chart Saturn starts > peak power date is July 2026. Saturn is the planet of fear, ultraconservatism, fear, security, fear, economy, fear and back to the past thinking.
In 2024 progressed Mercury (the press and journalists) in house 10 is inconjunct birth chart Neptune (drama, deception and confusion) in house 5.
Progressed ascendant is parallel birth chart Pluto (in house 9 – the courts and social media); and in February progressed ascendant semisextile birth chart Pluto (division, coercion, disinformation and skullduggery) starts.
Around June 6, 2024 progressed Moon in house 10 (the administration) moves to house 11 (Congress).
January – March 2024
2024 starts with a big shock.
On January 15 progressed Moon is square (high discord conflict) progressed Uranus (extremist rhetoric, unexpected events, disruption, unrest, protests and radical change); on January 24 progressed Moon is square birth chart ascendant (the people) > stimulating progressed ascendant parallel birth chart Mars (strife and violence); on February 25 progressed Moon is square birth chart Uranus > end date is March 21; and on March 10 progressed Moon is sesquisquare birth chart Mercury (talk and controversy) stimulating major aspect progressed Mercury inconjunct birth chart Neptune > end date is April 4.
On February 14 Mars is conjunction Pluto in the sky and in the discordant Washington chart Mars and Pluto – the cusp rulers of house 1 (the people) – are in house 3 (the people’s thinking, newspapers, transportation, roads, intellectual activity and neighbors - Mexico).
Throughout January, February and March 2024 this high discord astrological activity will influence a number of significant events on America’s political schedule and Donald Trump’s legal calendar.
On January 15 E Jean Carroll’s defamation case against Trump starts and the Iowa caucuses are held; on January 23 the first Republican state primary election takes place in New Hampshire; in late January Judge Engoron hopes to give his verdict in Trump’s fraud case trial; on February 6 the Nevada Republican primary is held; on February 24 the South Carolina caucus is held; on March 4 (pending an appeal) Trump’s alleged conspiracy to overturn his 2020 election trial starts; on March 5 – Super Tuesday – 15 Republican states are scheduled to choose their candidate for president; and on March 25 Trump’s hush money payment to Stormy Daniels trial starts.
Some say this first stage of the nominee selection process is a danger time for Trump and with Uranus – the unpredictable planet that’s renowned for springing the unexpected – having a powerful influence on events and developments we predict there will be some major shocks.
April – June 2024
In America’s chart on April 5 progressed Moon parallel progressed Saturn (conservatism, fear, security and economy) in house 6 (work, sickness and public servants) starts > peak power date is June 19; on May 29 progressed Moon is trine birth chart Sun (politics and the power crowd) stimulating all the Sun progressions > end date is June 22; and on June 12 progressed Moon is semisquare birth chart Pluto (division, coercion, intimidation and crime) in house 9 (court cases) > end date is July 7.
From April 1 to June 24 the bulk of America’s states select their Republican presidential nominee; and on May 20 Donald Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents trial is scheduled to start.
On April 8 a total solar eclipse blacks out America. In the eclipse chart Mars is conjunction Saturn and the Moon-Sun conjunction is parallel Mars and Saturn. Mars and Saturn incline towards destructive weather events, natural disasters, violence, insecurity, anger, fear and heavy loss.
On April 10 Mars is conjunction Saturn in the sky. In the high-discord Washington chart Mars and Saturn in house 6 (labor and sickness) are exact opposition the ascendant (the people).
On April 29 Mars is conjunction Neptune in the sky. In the discordant Washington chart Mars and Neptune are in house 3.
July – November 2024
On July 15-18 the Republican Party Convention is held; August 5 is the proposed start date of Trump’s election interference trial in Georgia; and on November 5 America votes.
In America’s chart progressed Moon is inconjunct birth chart Saturn (conservatism, caution, fear and playing it safe) > peak power date is July 18; trine progressed Jupiter (finances, hope and jubilation) > peak power date is July 28; semisquare progressed Pluto (threats, coercion and disunity) > peak power date is July 29; inconjunct progressed Mars (strife, conflict, animosity and violence) > peak power date is September 4; sesquisquare progressed Saturn (conservatism, fear, insecurity and despair) > peak power date is September 29; and conjunction progressed Sun (politics) stimulating the Sun-Mars and Sun-Saturn parallel progressions > peak power date is November 8.
In Donald Trump’s chart progressed Mercury is square birth chart Midheaven > peak power date is June 28; progressed Moon is sesquisquare progressed Uranus (unexpected events and sudden shocks) > peak power date is August 7; progressed ascendant is sesquisquare birth chart Uranus > peak power date is August 23; and progressed Venus is square birth chart Saturn > peak power date is August 19.
On July 15 Mars is conjunction Uranus in the sky. In the Washington chart Mars and Uranus are in house 9 (conventions). It forecasts strife, angry feuding, disruption and unexpected developments at the GOP convention.
It’s likely that by now there’s division within the GOP and a split between those who see Trump as a big risk and the neoconservatives and radical extremists who are with him all the way. The battle being fought will climax with Mars conjunction Uranus in the sky so you can expect sensational fireworks at the Republican Party Convention. Dare we predict that Donald Trump won’t be the Republican Party’s nominee for President?
On August 14 Mars is conjunction Jupiter in the sky. In the high-discord Washington chart Mars and Jupiter are in house 8 (taxes, debt and death).
On November 5, 2024 America votes. It seems the best case scenario for the country is a presidential election without Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
America’s chart won’t tell you who is likely to win the presidency. A precise prediction requires an in-depth assessment of each candidate’s progressed chart with the focus on house 10, so their documented birth data has to be in the public domain.
Abraham Lincoln saw America as ‘the last best hope of Earth’. Thomas Jefferson had a different view: ‘I tremble for my country when I think God is just’.
