Real-time monitoring of world events: November 2024

Explainer: Forecast periods in global astrology

With Mars parallel Pluto in the sky and the Mars cycle in September 2024 the conflict in the Middle East escalated. Israel responded to the influx of Mars energy and bombed Beirut suburbs considered strongholds for Hezbollah.

On October 6, 2024 Mars opposition Pluto in the sky starts and it’s a far more destructive aspect than Mars parallel Pluto. The high-discord mix of Mars-Pluto energy scripts escalating violence in the war zones, atrocities, mass killings and gruesome crimes as some human souls descend into deeper levels of hate, cruelty and brutality.

It’s a no brainer: The war in the Middle East and the US presidential election will dominate the October news cycle.

Mars opposition Pluto in the sky reaches peak power November 3 – 2 days before America votes. It’s sure to have a destructive – disinformation, divisive and violence – influence on last minute events and voting trends.

The significance of the 2024 election is revealed by progressed Moon conjunction progressed Sun in America’s chart on November 8. The people (Moon) and the power crowd (Sun) are coming together in house 11 (Congress) but the chart doesn’t forecast a winning candidate.

On November 5 progressed Saturn is semisquare Neptune and parallel Pluto in the Saturn cycle and progressed Uranus is parallel Sun and Pluto in the Uranus cycle and these major cycle chart aspects are likely to influence voting trends.

Traditionally the Republican Party due to its link with business was associated with Jupiter and the Democrat Party due to its link with workers was associated with Saturn but now their conservative right and progressive left tags inclines the Republicans to be associated with Saturn and the Democrats with Uranus: the two rules of Aquarius in the Age of Pluto and political polarization.

The Scorpio new Moon cycle that commences November 1 at 12.47pm GMT is a general event chart. In a nation’s chart the planets by their house positions place their signatures on major events and developments that are inclined to occur during the cycles forecast period.

America’s new Moon cycle chart: November 1–30

Chart data is November 1, 2024 at 7.47am EST: 38N53; 77W01 (Washington)

The Sun-Moon conjunction is in house 12 (secret enemies; out-of-sight, behind the scenes activity; secret agendas; crime; FBI; and prisons.)

Mercury – planet of talk and controversy – dominates from house 1 (the people). It’s the cusp ruler of house 10 (the administration) and opposition Uranus (disruption and protests) in house 7 (foreign adversaries that are likely to question the validity of the election result).

Mars (strife and disputation) is in house 9 (the courts). It’s opposition Pluto (misinformation and division) in house 3 (the press and rumors).

Saturn (loss, anxiety and despair) and Neptune (schemes, plots, chaos and confusion) are in house 4 (the Republican Party and weather events).

(On November 26 Judge Juan Merchan delivers his sentence in Trump’s hush money trial.)

This chart and the 2024 US Sun cycle chart have a lot in common. Saturn and Neptune are in house 4; Pluto is in house 3; and Uranus is in house 7. It indicates that major events mapped in the Sun cycle chart are very inclined to occur during the Scorpio lunation.

Sun cycle: March 20, 2024–March 20, 2025

America votes on November 5 but it could take days for the result to be known, especially if it’s close and mail-in ballots are a factor.

From November 7 to 17 the Mars cycle is very active forecasting strife, conflict and disputation; and with Mars parallel Jupiter (legal matters and the courts) and Jupiter square Saturn in the sky during November and December the likelihood of disputed results, legal challenges and business and financial anxiety is high.

America is in a bad place and on November 20 when progressed Moon in its chart moves to form a square aspect with birth chart Mars the volume of high discord aggressive (Mars) energy escalates increasing the likelihood of political strife, conflict, disputation and violence. Mars is in house 1 (the people). The aspect reaches peak power on December 14 and stimulates the major Sun-Mars parallel aspect that reaches peak power in September 2026.

The Moon-Mars square aspect ends January 7, 2025 and on January 6, with progressed Moon opposition birth chart Neptune (chaos and confusion), the vice president will preside over the Electoral College vote count at a joint session of Congress, announce the results and declare who has been elected president.
