The US presidential election on November 5, 2024 could be the most important political event of the 21st century. In the Age of Lower-Pluto it’s a high stakes race. The prize is big: Incredible power. The power to control the direction America takes and to lead the free world aka liberal democracies.
The news media is keeping you informed about what’s going on, who’s leading in the opinion polls, who’s raising the most money, who’s endorsing who and what the opinion writers are telling the candidates to say and do. Political analysts, who can’t stop talking, are scrutinizing, analyzing and criticizing every word they utter.
Undecided voters in 7 key swing states hold the fate of world in their hands. (They must be delirious with power.)
Kamala Harris is a black woman and Donald Trump is a white man and even though America’s political environment in September 2024 is drenched in racism and misogyny notoriously unreliable opinion polls have the former DA and the convicted felon running neck and neck.
So, according to current environmental circumstances, which play a 50% role in what eventuates, both candidates have an equal chance of winning.
Astrology for Aquarius presents and assesses the other 50%, which the political commentators and opinion makers know nothing about: The birth charts, progressed charts and not-conscious thought-cell activity of each candidate.
America votes: November 5, 2024
When two applicants apply for a job like the presidency of the United States the winner will be the one who on election-day has the most harmonious tenth house.
The harmony or discord of the Midheaven (their reputations) and Sun (their desire for power and significance) has a back-up influence.
Kamala Harris: The presumptive presidential nominee
In her chart house 10 and Midheaven are prominent with above average power. Both are high in harmony.
Sun (her power urge) dominates from house 5. It’s slightly discordant due to a high-discord opposition aspect with Moon which is conciliated by the ascendant (her personality), Saturn in house 9 and the Midheaven (her reputation). Sun is conjunction Mercury (her intellectual urge) and trine (luck) ascendant, Saturn and Midheaven.
The ascendant, Sun and Midheaven form a very fortunate grand trine.
Her Uranus-Pluto-Venus conjunction in house 4 is a major cluster point mapping an especially significant not-conscious thought compound.
Her chart progressed to November 5, 2024
Birth certificate data is October 20, 1964 at 9.28pm PDT 37N48; 122W16 (Oakland, California)
Progressed Jupiter at 16 Taurus 52R and 15S49 – the cusp co-ruler of house 10 in house 12 – is opposition birth chart Neptune and parallel progressed Neptune at 16 Scorpio 50 and 15S48 – the cusp ruler of house 10 in house 6; and trine progressed Pluto at 16 Virgo 19R.
Progressed Midheaven (her reputation) at 2 Taurus 58 and 12N30 is sesquisquare (agitation) birth chart Venus at 17 Virgo 53; parallel progressed Saturn (steadiness and responsibility) at 12S51; and sextile birth chart Midheaven at 2 Pisces 24.
Progressed Sun at 28 Sagittarius 22 and 23S26 in house 7 (the public) is sextile (opportunity) birth chart Sun at 27 Libra 48 in house 5; trine birth chart Moon at 27 Aries 38 in house 11; sextile birth chart Saturn at 28 Aquarius 27R; and parallel birth chart ascendant at 23N19.
Progressed house 10 has a total relative harmony of 185.51 harmodynes. This is the number Trump has to beat.
Progressed Midheaven has a total relative harmony of 50.18 harmodynes and progressed Sun has a total relative harmony of 70.20 harmodynes.
Donald Trump: The GOP candidate
In his chart house 10 dominates and is harmonious. Midheaven is discordant primarily due to its square aspect with Mars in house 12.
Sun (his power urge) in house 10 dominates. It’s slightly harmonious due to a high-harmony luck (trine) aspect with birth chart Jupiter in house 2 (his money). Jupiter conciliates a high-discord Sun-Moon opposition. Sun is conjunction Uranus (sudden changes in status) and sextile Mars (strife and aggressive action).
His chart progressed to November 5, 2024
Birth certificate data is June 14, 1946 at 10.54am EDT; 40N41; 73W48 (Queens, New York)
Sun is chief ruler of house 10.
Progressed Sun at 7 Virgo 58 and 8N34 in house 1 is sextile birth chart Mercury at 8 Cancer 51 in house 11; parallel progressed Jupiter at 8S47 in house; semisquare (friction) birth chart Saturn at 23 Cancer 48 in house 11; and semisextile progressed Neptune at 7 Libra 14 in house 2.
Progressed Venus – the cusp ruler of house 10 – at 24 Libra 01 in house 3 is square birth chart Saturn at 23 Cancer 48 in house 11; and progressed ascendant at 3 Scorpio 18 in house 3 is sesquisquare (discordant agitation) birth chart Uranus at 17 Gemini 53 in house 10.
Progressed Midheaven (his reputation) at 9 Leo 24 in house 12 is semisextile birth chart Mercury at 8 Cancer 51; and conjunction birth chart Pluto (convicted felon) at 10 Leo 02 in house 12. Progressed Mercury at 25 Leo 01 in house 12 is square (discordant obstacle) birth chart Midheaven at 24 Taurus 21.
Progressed house 10 has a relative harmony of 31.33 harmodynes.
Progressed Midheaven has a relative discord of 87.51 discordynes and progressed Sun has a total relative harmony of 59.66 harmodynes.
And the winner is Kamala Harris*. She has the more harmonious tenth house, (Midheaven and Sun) and with her birth chart Sun-Saturn-ascendant grand trine activated by progression she could win in the key states and have a landslide victory. The indications are that Donald Trump’s reputation (Midheaven) will be the key factor in his defeat.
*Hermetic astrology teaches that birth charts and progressed aspects do not map inevitable events; but in a contest between two people which involves the gaining of a job it teaches that the candidate with the most harmonious tenth house is likely to win the position.
The teaching can only be put into practice with almost reliable results when the birth data of both candidates has a AA-1 level of accuracy, but the reliability of the numbers on which the judgment is made depends upon the reliability of the computer program that computes them.
November 5, 2024: Donald Trump wins the US presidential election
The astrodyne assessment of both candidates charts clearly indicated that Harris had the better progressed chart but this only reveals one half of a picture which takes into account the US electorate which reveals the other half.
And 24 hours prior to November 5 pollsters were reporting that in the 7 battleground states both candidates were running neck and neck and that the election was too close to call. But this assessment of voter sentiment was not reliable.
The pollsters got it wrong. Voter sentiment was heavily in support of Donald Trump and an astrological forecast that had to factor in unreliable pollster data didn’t stand a chance.
So, Kamala Harris with the better progressed chart couldn't overcome voter resistance to her winning the election; and Donald Trump with voter support overcame progressed chart discord and got the job.
You can speculate why.
Each country has its story and America with Uranus and Mars in house 1 of its birth chart is a racist, angry polarized nation. Mars in particular indicates that anger and hate are embedded in the nation’s psyche. The 50 states are not united and the way things are it will not become unpolarized in the foreseeable future. So, it was unlikely that voters would support a woman of color for president when their other choice was a white man no matter how bad his reputation.
In regard to the notoriously unreliable polling of voter sentiment it’s likely to have an astrological explanation in America’s chart: Mercury in house 3 (phone calls and private thoughts) is opposition Pluto (planet of mis and dis-information) in house 9 (thoughts and opinions that are publicly expressed).
Yet, with all the speculative analysis there was one global cycle chart that stood out as indicating the Republican Party would be a key player in America’s story in 2024. That was its Sun cycle chart. It didn’t forecast Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election but the incredibly high volume of planetary energy concentrated in house 4 – Venus, Mars, Saturn and Neptune are there – did indicate that the nation’s fortunes were intimately linked to fortunate and unfortunate events and developments involving the Republican Party.
The key message: When forecasting the result of a political contest carefully consider the birth charts and progressed charts of both candidates (calculated for documented birth certificate data) and their popularity as indicated by opinion polls and voter-intentions as indicated by pollsters. While accepting the data provided by pollsters at face value is risky a careful weighing up of all the crucial data will result in an accurate prediction.
The 2028 US presidential election
Like all countries America has to deal with an astrological environment that regularly serves up discord and difficulty. And in its chart on May 14, 2025 progressed Sun – planet of governance and political leaders – moves to form a high-discord obstacle square aspect with birth chart Mars – planet of war, strife and violence in house 1 (the people) > peak power date is May 15, 2026 > end date is May 17, 2017.
And during 2026 Mars in the sky forms conjunction aspects with Pluto, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus and Jupiter. Mars, the planet of conflict, disputation and destruction, takes center-stage. So, between now (November 2024) and November 7, 2028 when the next US election is scheduled anything could happen.
The 2028 US Sun cycle
Chart data March 19, 2028 at 10.18pm EDT: 38N53; 77W01 (Washington)
Sun, the chart’s key marker is in house 5. It’s cusp ruler of house 10 (Donald Trump’s administration) and exactly conjunction Mars, the cusp ruler of house 1 (the people). Mercury – planet of jaw-boning, debate and controversy is in house 4 (the Democrats).
The Sun’s close conjunction with Mars indicates that strife, conflict, accidents and fires will be a prominent feature of the cycle and that political leaders are in harm’s way.
The danger escalates with the start of a new Mars cycle on March 22, 2028 at 5.40 am GMT. Mars – the chart’s key marker – is conjunction Sun and Neptune magnifying the role of politics and world leaders in the strife and conflict agenda.
America’s 2028 Mars cycle
Chart data is March 22, 2028 at 12.40am EDT: 38N53; 77W01 (Washington)
Mars is conjunction Sun and Neptune in house 4 (land, territories, homes, housing, farming, mining, the weather and the Democrats).
Natural law is taking its course.
