Part 3: Stars and Stripes: Who Wins the US Constitutional Battle?

A few years ago, Pluto began its dramatic 250-year return to the sign of its origin when America was founded. Pluto represents the God of Hell. When Pluto returns to the sign where it began, it comes looking for a fight and wanting answers. This planet brings up the big questions the country was asking when it was founded. Now, Pluto is asking the United States how it has executed its democratic principles.

Pluto enters Aquarius for its 20-year sojourn on November 19th, amid its opposing fight with Mars until April 2025. The US is in for a long drawn-out fight to the finish. In the 2024 election cycle, the US confronts its origins in a never-before and never-again-in-this-lifetime scenario.

Can the stars predict which party comes out on top? Does this fight affect the soul of the nation? What does the future of the U.S. hold after this tense affair?

USA Pluto Return

In February 2022, Pluto in Capricorn at 27° in the stars hits the country’s Pluto near exact at 27.33° on February 21st. That same week, Russia invaded Ukraine, pushing the democratic experience into an ongoing tailspin.

The Western world’s way of life is being attacked by forces yearning for its demise. The United States must question its role internationally, caught between continuing as the ‘world’s policeman’ or foregoing the title for a more isolationist posture. The fight for its place may not continue with open debate but perhaps with violence, threats, and wider conflict.

In part one of this special series on the US election, I wrote, “America’s soul destiny involves stepping into a leadership role on the world stage to build bridges and radiate confidence effectively. It requires finishing old business and avoiding being judgmental, dogmatic, and isolated.

Healing its ‘exile’ or ‘outsider’ energy, utilizing resources responsibly, and resolving the insecurities of its position in the world are required to fulfill the nation’s soul destiny.

Opening to the discomfort of the unknown and embracing complexity to transform like a phoenix is also critical. Rising from the ashes is familiar and America can recover from its recent erosion as a sole superpower. It is also a choice its citizens can decide.”

For a look at the entirety of the USA’s star chart and its mission in the world, read part 1 right here.

If the sovereign rights of nations and their citizens aren’t upheld, is there a democracy in the world worth standing? Given the two-party political system in the United States, how do these parties uphold or violate the founding constitution?

Looking at America’s chart on February 21, 2022 on its Pluto return adds more cosmic force to the pressure on the country.

Stars: Realizing other stars with the Pluto influence lends additional information, so let’s dive into the key star aspects:

  • Capricorn Pluto in the sky conjuncts USA Pluto at 27.33°
  • Aquarius Mercury at 6°conjuncts USA soul karma and opposes its soul destiny 7°
  • The collective soul destiny in Taurus 26° trines with the USA Capricorn Pluto 27°
  • The collective soul karma in Scorpio 26° excites with the USA Capricorn Pluto 27°
  • Venus and Mars in the sky conjunct in Capricorn at 19 and 20° respectively

Astrological chart showing the USA's natal chart (July 4, 1776) alongside planetary transits for February 21, 2022, with symbols for planets, signs, and aspects.

Summary:

Communication, messaging and thought processes are fraught with new ideas, inventions and original concepts that push against the outsider view and help heal the exile energy to oppose the fiefdom pressure.

The nation is supported by the collective soul destiny in Taurus to increase its ability to help others achieve abundance, simplicity of life, and the comforts of home. There’s also the possibility of calm and peace.

This is good news with the conflict, war, and aggression of this time.

The country is also stimulated by the collective soul karma of violence, terrible events, and the dark side of life. The good news is counterbalanced by this excitement. Unfortunately, the dark side usually wins.

Capricorn Venus and Mars in the sky stir the leadership to attract and repel with intensity and drama.

The last week of February is a mixed bag. In that month’s forecast, I wrote: “Put up or shut up. Something new and exciting or weird and upsetting closes the month.”

Political Party Star Charts

The results of the 2024 election will be heavily contested. Understanding the souls of the nation’s rival political parties determines how the outcome shapes the country’s chance of realizing its mission.

At the time of writing, court decisions across the country rattle the sanctity of the election, slowing down vote counting and disenfranchising the democratic process.

Bringing peace to my readers’ minds is my goal, so looking at each party’s chances during the election process against the star chart of the United States can provide insight into the outcome.

There is no limit to the number of political parties that can contest American elections. Since 1860, however, just two major ones: the Democratic and Republican parties, have captured the presidency.

The outsider candidacy of Donald Trump in 2016 challenged this hierarchy. The Republican Party was wholly transformed and personally rebranded into one individual’s singular likeness. For this analysis, the ‘MAGA’ Party will be analyzed separately.

The ‘MAGA’ Party was created on June 16, 2015, in New York City when Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president. The Republican Party has all but been dismantled, taken over by the ‘MAGA’ party, as Donald Trump has elevated his ilk to the fore of the party at every level – county, state, and national.

The political parties star chart analysis involves 3 parties:

  • Democratic Party
  • Republican Party
  • ’MAGA’ Party (2015-)

Democratic Party Stars

The Democratic Party was born on January 8, 1828, in Portsmouth, NH. It is the world’s oldest political party. Its origins included a platform based on limited government, agrarianism, and workers’ rights.

 Astrological chart for the Democratic Party, dated January 8, 1828, showing planetary positions, zodiac signs, and aspects. The chart includes symbols representing planets and their relationships, with red lines for challenging aspects and blue for harmonious ones. A table below lists the planetary degrees and signs.

Key Star Aspects

For the Democratic Party, the key star aspects are:

  • Capricorn Sun at 17° conjunct Neptune at 15° opposing Cancer Saturn at 16°
  • Capricorn Uranus at 27° trine Taurus Moon at 28°
  • Scorpio Mars at 12° conjunct Jupiter 10°
  • Aquarius Venus squares Scorpio
  • Jupiter at 10°and Mars at 12°
  • Capricorn Mercury at 2° squares Aries Pluto at 4°

Sun & Moon

Sun: The Sun of the Democratic Party is in Capricorn at 17,° with Neptune only 2° away. Uranus is also prominent in the chart at 27°. The 2022 Plutonian return of the United States is in confrontation with the party.

The Capricorn characteristics of leadership, striving for the summit, and standing in positions of power are the core elements of the Democratic Party. However, the typical stoicism of Capricorn is softened by Neptune. Neptune adds a dissolution of the boundaries and always questioning its worth into the central mix of this party.

The Democrats add an opposition of practical reality to its central theme, as well as a desire to master its sense of belonging and connection. The roots of the party and the soul of the nation are the intentions of the Democrats.

Moon: The heart of the party involves the working population and embodies the desires of the common layperson. The center of the party is smoothed out when there are changes, original intentions, and strides toward the future.

Other Notable Qualities

Mission

The mission of the Democratic Party involves putting women front and center. When the leaders of this party make women feel included, equal, and a critical component to the success of this party’s mission, they create lasting success. The transformative approach is the right one.

In other words, the Democrats can’t step into the future without women at the helm. Women attract big groups and create wealth as well as success for this party.

Challenges

Democrats have trouble clarifying strong messages that resonate with the public. They’re great at negotiating but may give away too much to get what they want. Additionally, balancing the serious with the optimistic requires greater finesse and clarity from the top.

Bravery

Diving deeply into transformative measures brings good luck and success to the party. Bold and strong actions are the best strategy for the Democrats. Women are a key component of the party and part of its soul destiny.

Genius

Standing in their genius necessitates masterfully and sensitively aligning with the soul of the nation. When the Democrats stand beside America and its origins, the party’s brilliance becomes evident. Talking about roots, heritage, and moving forward without losing the founding fathers’ intentions makes the Democratic Party’s genius shine.

Soul Destiny

Deep, transformative healing with bold action and big leaps of faith comprise the party’s soul destiny. Women and their needs are a focal point of the Democratic Party’s soul purpose. This party’s karma involves avoiding complacency, rigidity, and holding on too tightly to being comfortable. Moving into the unknown and unfamiliar brings success.

Republican Party Stars

The Republican Party was born on October 12, 1853 in Exeter, New Hampshire. It began as a radical new idea by a coalition of Northern reformers who opposed the expansion of slavery.

Pisces Neptune in the sky passing the square off at 11° brought trouble in 2021, triggering Uranus in Taurus. Its position, abundance, and practical realities were destabilized. The same star aspect accentuates bold, aggressive moves to put the spotlight on its chosen leader.

Pisces Neptune confuses itself and dissipates its energy. The star aspect doesn’t fortify, galvanize, or otherwise shore up the party’s interests. This dissolution meets a wake-up call in March 2025 and moves through a practical reckoning in 2024. Throughout 2024, the party requires adjustments and fine-tuning. If the party builds structures for unity, it can revive itself. If not, the pressure grinds the party’s ideals to the ground. Complications, delays, and confrontations spilled the party into further fragmentation.

Astrological chart for the Republican Party, dated October 12, 1853, with planetary transits for November 5, 2024. The chart shows planetary positions, zodiac signs, and aspects, with red lines for challenges, blue for harmony, and green for neutral aspects. A table below lists planetary degrees and signs for both natal and transit positions.

Key Star Aspects

For the Republican Party, the key star aspects are:

  • Libra Sun at 19° sextile Sagittarius Jupiter in its own sign at 20°
  • Aquarius Moon square Scorpio Venus at 27° trine Libra Mercury at 28°
  • Leo Mars squares Taurus Uranus sextiles Pisces
  • Neptune at 11°
  • Pisces Neptune quincunx Leo Mars at 11°
  • Scorpio Venus opposes Gemini Saturn with a 4° orb

Sun & Moon

Sun: The Sun in Libra strengthens the core identity into one of diplomacy, grace and the Venusian values of peace and harmony. This party’s central theme involves women and their collaborative approach. Short of having women as part of their core leadership, embracing compromise, equality, and justice are the party’s core values. Good luck and success comes when the party realizes its founding ideals.

Moon: The Aquarian Moon at 27° squares off with women and gets smoothed out when their messaging and ideation come in balanced ways. Discerning who and how the party attracts donors, founders, leaders, and key party organizers sparks their future. When they focus on the past, traditional ways, and masculine-only leadership, they cut off their support from women. They need women and deep transformative moves to realize their goals.

Other Notable Qualities

Mission

The mission of the Republican Party is to balance the hearts and minds of their voters. When they lead with authenticity and stand as role models for the people, they improve their chances of winning both the hearts and the minds of the public.

Their leaders are filled with courage and grit; with the tenacity to move through challenges as well as inspire their party’s followers. Republicans do best when they remember their roots. Channeling early visionaries like Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt and taking bold risks help bring success and prosperity.

Challenges

Balancing unity for the common layperson with courage at the leadership level creates the right approach to overcoming challenges but requires finesse and constant adjustments to support both missions. The Republican Party survives on shocking the public by standing up and defending its core principles, no matter the situation, timing, or politics. Their legal leaders advocate for the justice the party seeks. Furthermore, when their leaders are drawn from the military, they become role models for the common person.

Bravery

The Republican Party needs brave and authentic leaders to bring them into the future, directly contradicting its core values of peace and harmony. However, success comes from prioritizing authenticity. If the party integrates support from women for their causes and takes bold actions to realize them, they weave their identity into their future.

Genius

Open-mindedness, inclusivity, and dealing with the duality of any given situation is the genius of this party. It’s not an easy energy to leverage, but with the support of women, they can achieve their brilliance. Being rooted in drama or intensity unconventionally helps them make strides toward their goals.

Soul Destiny

The Republican Party’s soul destiny involves opening minds, asking more questions than seeking answers, and being in a state of wonder. Communication is at the heart of this party’s purpose. Stepping away from gurus and shedding dogma and fundamentalism heals this party’s soul karma and brings them the success they desire. Instead of alienating women, they want to fold them into their party’s success formula to achieve their true purpose.

MAGA Party Stars

The MAGA Party was born on June 16, 2015, in New York City when Donald Trump announced his run for President. Just two days after Trump’s birthday, the candidate and the party share a Sun sign.

He is the party. (This is one of the reasons I’ve always felt Donald has an astrologer in his corner.)

Astrological chart for the "MAGA announcement" dated June 16, 2015, showing planetary transits for November 5, 2024. The chart displays planetary positions, zodiac signs, and aspects with red lines for challenging connections, blue for harmonious ones, and green for neutral aspects. A table below lists the natal and transit planetary positions in degrees and signs.

Key Star Aspects

For the MAGA Party, the key star aspects are:

  • Sun in Gemini at 25° conjunct the Moon and Mars at 24°
  • New Moon phase with in Moon in Gemini at 26°
  • Aries Uranus trine Leo Jupiter at 19°
  • Gemini Mercury at 5° trine Libra soul destiny and sextile
  • Aries soul karma at 6°
  • Leo Venus at 10° quincunx Pisces
  • Neptune at 9°

Sun & Moon

Sun: The MAGA party leans on open minds, big ideas, and lots of messaging. The more this party focuses its voice, tone, tenor, and cadence, the better the public can relate to it. Courage and aggression create power, attraction, and value for the party.

Moon: The New Moon phase provides celebrity to this party’s core identity. This star placement indicates new beginnings. Big bold actions move the party into pole position among its established counterparts. The party’s Moon is the most important component of their star chart due to its placement with its leader’s Sun and Moon.

It will be interesting to watch the eventual future of the party without its leader at the helm.

Other Notable Qualities

Mission

The MAGA Party’s mission, according to the stars, is to attract women into its leadership sphere to be innovative and inclusive. The balance of advocacy and activism with diplomacy and civility is a key component to the party’s mission.

Challenges

The challenges for the party involve giving up too much to stick to traditional roles, structures, and methods. Sudden change creates success, but it also brings surprising results. Zigging and zagging provide support in unexpected ways.

Bravery

Opening minds to stay in the state of wonder is the key to the party’s stature. Dealing with duality and embracing big ideas integrates the core identity of the party with its ability to align with the country’s mission.

Genius

This party’s power of transformation must be embraced to realize its genius. Deep, magnetic, and intense drama is part of the party’s brilliance. Additionally, when this intensity involves transformational healing, it produces exponential success.

Soul Destiny

Upholding justice and advocating for the equality of its citizenry is the party’s soul destiny. The balance of advocacy and diplomacy is the key to unlocking the party’s destiny. The party’s soul karma involves giving up its attachment to anger, aggression, and selfish-centeredness. When the MAGA Party drops these attributes, it strives to reach its destiny.

Party Alignment with the United States of America

The Democratic, Republican, and MAGA Parties either aligned or misaligned with the United States during the 2024 election. Reviewing America’s stars through the lens of each of the parties indicates how each entity impacts the future of the nation.

Democratic Party & USA Stars

Key Interaction: The Party’s Capricorn Uranus conjuncts the U.S.A.’s Pluto at 27° for radical changes that can either be liberating or feel out of control. Open-mindedness and flexibility are the best approaches to creating transformational healing. Stubborn resistance is the kryptonite for this aspect.

Shared Destiny: Be brave about healing the issues with women by negotiating with compromise and without giving up the true essence of what you truly desire. Supporting the lineage of the common person is the key to realizing the shared soul destiny.

Republican Party & USA Stars

Key Interaction: The Republican Party’s Taurus Saturn trines the USA’s Capricorn Pluto at 27°, making the agency of government a supportive mechanism for the country’s people. Conservativism, capitalism, and long-term strategies all merge these two energies. Positive lasting change can be achieved with these two stars.

Shared Destiny: Realizing a rooted and anchored sense of belonging for families, women, and children is the key to the shared soul destiny between the Republican Party and the United States. Ancestral healing is also a shared component. Letting go of the traditional and institutional structures is an important element in healing this shared soul karma.

MAGA Party & USA Stars

Key Interaction: The Party’s Pisces Chiron squares off with America’s Gemini Mars at 21°to support assertive healing of deep wounds. The country’s unity can be achieved in creatively healing ways and with the power of an open mind. Moving from a victim complex to a hero complex is the solution.

Shared Destiny: Let go of self-absorption or victimization to heal shared soul karma. Be practical, get skilled, and stay focused on the common person. Get down to Earth to efficiently be useful to others. Make the little things and people matter.

Bottom Line

America has its own soul destiny. However, each of the major political parties has its own destinies that may or may not support the nation’s.

Thanks to Pluto’s dramatic return in 2022, analysis of the 2024 election must include the intentions of the United States at its founding.

Pluto asks, “What have you done about it?” Each political party has its answer, and the results matter greatly as we look ahead to November.

Thank you for reading and sharing with friends.

As always, wishing you joy,

Kim

October 2024 Forecast: Can You Heal through the Power of Harmony?

Monthly Summary

October: Shifting Positions & The Power of the Middle
Sun signs – Libra & Scorpio
Seasonal energies: Optimize Prosperity
Energetic Element: Water
Overall meaning: What position will the feminine take in the business world? What business activities are feminine? Looking at the big picture, strategy, hiring, networking and scheduling are feminine. It’s a web of big picture, connection and creation.

What are masculine business activities? Planning, producing, goal-oriented focus. Gather your strengths and trend toward the opposite to flow between the two energies.

Shifting toward the middle, solidifies your core. Jockey for stability.

Seasonal Insights

The seasonal dance is one of renewal and flow that can be used to harness in order to propel your success.

The seasonal dance begins by opening your full potential which expands until it becomes unwieldy. At which time, it’s necessary to optimize your influence through purposeful actions. Once you’ve harnessed this potential-filled purpose, you generate power, expanding your ability to make impact. Curating your powerful impact creates prosperity and then you’re ready to begin the cycle again.

During each season, you can leverage the zodiac energy, elemental force and earthly rhythms to boost your chances for success.

Season of Prosperity – August – November; Virgo, Libra, Scorpio

It’s the time of harvest to gain the bounty of your careful planning and powerful influence. Reap your rewards and let go of expectations to begin another cycle. Appreciation, reverence and reciprocity are the tenors of this season.

When you put your attention onto the beginning, the middle and the end of the prosperous cycle, you open yourself to the universal flow of it.

The Season of Prosperity is the culmination of the entire seasonal cycle. As your potential becomes purposeful and you infuse power, your bounty is ready to be harvested. The outward aspects of power turn inward slightly as requires a balance between the inner and the outer. You’re still required to expend energy, but it’s a gathering versus a full outreach.

You connect, but it’s with like-minded community or already prosecuted connections. You know your place, you have a role that’s defined and within these parameters, you harvest to receive abundance for your value and efforts.

Seasonal Business Tips

Season of Prosperity leans into the water element to allow the bittersweet side of this harvest season. The bounty evident throughout the season gives way to the waning energies as the season turns into the slower moving season of potential. Balancing between growth-oriented outreach and intentional connection is the key for your growth. This is a great time for retreats, conferences, workshops and trade shows.

Watch the video on how to use the seasonal energies.

Star Dance

Big Star Events: (in chronological order)

  • 10/2 – New Moon Annular Solar Eclipse
  • 10/9 – Jupiter retrogrades in Gemini from 21 – 11° until February 4, 2025
  • 10/11 – Pluto stations direct after being retrograde since May 2nd

10/2 – The Unknown Becomes Known

Details: October 2 at 2:50 pm ET Annular Solar Eclipse/New Moon Libra @ 10°

The 10° Sun & Moon in Libra represents fortune and good tidings for diplomacy, civility and harmony. The other stars support and amplify this energy. A collaborative approach is called for, including the fringes along with the middle. Everyone is included. This isn’t an energy of exclusion, elitism or objection.

This eclipse offers power for the mysteries, transformation and creating faith for the unknown. Individually and collectively, working toward unity, peace and love is reflected by the stars.

The essence of feminine power, united expression and expansive influence comes to the surface, making it available to everyone. Lasting change is here. Shift your focus to incorporate this new way of living and leading into your life and business.

10/9 – Jupiter Retrograde in Gemini in 21 – 11° until February 2, 2025

Jupiter is the amplifier – of more or less, depending on what’s going on in your life. When Jupiter stations retrograde, he brings unexpected ‘blessings’.

These blessings emphasize ways you’ve overextended, exaggerated or been taken for granted. They also highlight your skills, talents and strengths. Over the next 4 months, watch for signs indicating the right pathway for you, once you choose to have faith in yourself.

In the world, Jupiter involves philosophy, cross-cultures, religion, international relations, long travel, legal issues, successful ventures, higher education (high school, college, university, post-graduate studies), dogmatic beliefs, wisdom, relocation, publishing, expansion, travel vessels (airplanes, cruise ships, container ships, rocket ships, missiles) luck, fortune and blessings.

From October through February, inventions require tweaking and solutions require more work to figure out the right ways they benefit the world. Philosophies, opinions and beliefs come under the microscope. Ventures come under scrutiny, travel plans are revisited and legal issues arise.

10/11 – Pluto Stations Direct

The effects of Pluto going direct in October 2024 can be used for personal growth. Pluto’s direct motion is a powerful period for transformation, empowerment, and stepping into your purpose, particularly if you’ve been doing healing work or addressing deep-seated fears and blocks during the retrograde.

It’s a pivotal moment if you want to channel the transformative energy of Pluto into your business or personal life, aligning your actions with your higher purpose.

Depending on Pluto’s position in your natal star chart, moving through the last degree of Capricorn to Aquarius on November 19th until 2044, creates significant pressure, beautiful healing or both. This energy challenges you to balance your personal power with collective responsibility.

To set yourself up for success for the next 20 years with Pluto, read the published article to Unlock the Hidden Treasure of Success, Power and Love. I show you how Pluto affects you directly.

Star Power

Week 1: September 30 – October 6

You feel like you’re walking on eggshells this week, watching every step to not offend anyone, but also not foregoing what really matters to you. Don’t offend yourself either. Being true to you works when you stand solidly in your power and allow others to come to you. Your attraction amplifies when you prioritize the way you connect and commit to the people in your life and business.

When you’re straightforward and transparent, this is an excellent week for negotiations, contracts and business deals. People trust you when you speak about what lights you up. Being serious, working hard and focusing on the long-term also work for you to construct your best foundation for future growth.

Week 2: October 7 – 13

The week begins with an uplift in mood and energy. It’s a much-needed shot in the arm and everyone wants to take advantage of it. Stay in the flow with your connections by having fun and being light-hearted.

After the fun, go deep and open channels into your soul because as the week continues, this is a time to communicate with the deepest part of yourself. Spend less time thinking and more time dreaming. As you do, you can see how to make adjustments to increase your own value to improve your finances and position in the world. Write love letters to yourself and others to open channels to your prosperity.

This is also a good week for business dealings. Demonstrating your expertise and guiding others to their best version of themselves.

Week 3: October 14 – 20

With the exception of a few days last week, you’ve been serious and careful with your relationships to either deepen your connections or further your success. This focus and attention has required constant adjustments and you may feel fatigued. If this is the case, you’re going to be happy with the stars this week.

The energy gets a boost and becomes social and fun, while also being great for your business success. Be confident about your approach to overcome any blocks to your success. Increase your investments and open your channels for sales and success.

Step out of your comfort zone by opening your heart for more love, creativity and success. Enjoy the lightness of Libra as it will be another year before you get 30 full days of this beautifully balanced energy.

Intensity, power and depth comes in full and fierce with the influx of Scorpio as she comes to play for the next month. Using your instincts and intuition is the key to operating successfully in this energy.

There’s power when you combine logic with intuition to optimize your ideas. Develop your long-term strategies, make commitment to your plans and take serious steps to make your dreams come alive.

There’s a chance for the unexpected on the 25th. Stay flexible and roll with it. Ask yourself how to get started on something you’ve been putting off for too long. You have the increased desire and momentum to connect with others who can support you to clear the pathway to your success.

Week 5: October 28 – November 1

The week begins with soft and low energy, dives into doubt and stress and ends on a frenzy with busyness and distractions. The best way to navigate this week is in 3 parts:

Mon – Weds: Increase your ability to attract on deep levels due to the slow energy. You may be better able to catch people’s attention.
Mon – Weds: Work on your relationship by spending time alone and focusing on yourself.
Thurs & Fri: The fast-moving schedules push you to shift plans.

Moon Magic

The Moon phases help manifest things you want, celebrate things you have and get rid of things you no longer want. Here are the phases and what you should do:

  1. The New Moon is for setting your strategy.
  2. From the New to Full Moon, it’s the time to manifest, appreciate and create.
  3. The Full Moon is for taking stock in gratitude and refinement.
  4. From the Full to New Moon, it’s the time to celebrate, release and merge.

Full Moon: Limitless Love

Details: Full Moon/Almost Lunar Eclipse Oct 17 @ 7:27 am ET

Mars complicates this Full Moon by squaring off the Sun in Libra and the Moon in Aries. Lots of aggression, energy and impatience builds and with Mars in Cancer, there’s dramatic posturing, power plays and control struggles.

Families, good friends and business teams threaten to come apart. These are cardinal signs, so new and original ideas, connections and actions are at play. You may yearn for changes in your current connections.

The magic triangle of Pluto-Neptune-Uranus is complemented by another supportive trifecta between Venus-Pluto-Neptune. The common denominator for both configurations is Pluto, who is the major driver for limitless love.

Part 2: Stars and Stripes: Election Predictions

One thing I know for sure, the results of the 2024 US presidential election aren’t going to be known for many weeks or months after the votes are cast on November 5, 2024.

Even if the US electoral process wasn’t systematically derailed through voter-suppressing court decisions, extreme gerrymandering, and partisan election official administration, the stars predict a 2024 election process fraught with tension, aggression and denial.

Since the US presidential election extends well beyond November 5th, predicting who wins the votes and who actually takes the seat as Commander in Chief on January 20th involves much more than interpreting America’s voting day stars and those for each of the candidates. Anyone who claims they have the answer based on November 5th has a 50/50 chance of being right, which is no better than a coin toss, and isn’t doing justice to the power of astrological analysis.

Astrology is so powerful and interpreting the stars for their awesome insights involves much more than a date or a person.

In fact, astrology is better suited for asking questions than for giving answers, so asking the right questions gets closer to a predictive formula.

The right questions aren’t who will win or who will lose on election day. This election isn’t about a particular person or a certain day. This election prediction isn’t even about reviewing both of the political parties or looking back through recent history of other elections.

During this election process, the stars tell us the courts will be petitioned. No one knows which day a filing may be heard or ruled on over the next handful of months. The stars of the court rulings can’t be read with certainty without more specific data.

The 2024 US election is bigger than any person, any day, any hearing or any particular political affiliation.

The stars tell us the United States is issuing a referendum on its constitution as forces for suppression, agitation and conflict arise throughout November, December and January. This requires a thorough analysis of the key dates for the entire election process, including the State Electoral Deadline on December 17th, Congressional Certification on January 6th and Inauguration Day on January 20th.

This election is about the fate of a nation frailly perched at a crossroads of whether the original foundation of the county is fraught with fissures or whether the foundation is strong enough for a grand future.  The 2024 US election is a choice between the future and the past.

With all of this, the right questions still aren’t being asked. This is more than timing over the next few months. This is about the future of the New Era. The state of the world for freedom, equality and inclusion or suppression, elitism and division is up for review.

The New Era is about the future, freedom, choice, rights and inclusivity or it’s about the past, suppression, coercion, injustice and exclusion. Right now, there seems to be little middle ground and the stars put obstacles in the way to either move through or get stomped by and as always, free will can always override what’s written in the stars. Free will is part of the equation of destiny, which is destiny = fate + free will.

Because free will is involved, questions matter. The stars can write the fate, but we choose whether they become true or not. Diving deeply into the heart of the grand vision of the country and of each presidential candidate gives a much-needed launch point to begin the astrological interpretation of who will lead the nation for the next 4 years. Will the country be led back into the past or will it be led in the future? This is the single most important question.

Other questions to be answered involve:

  • What is the New Era and how is it realized?
  • What have the stars told the world about critical timing for the United States?
  • How are the stars impacting the origin story of the nation and how it unfolds?
  • What is at stake for the nation and its vision?
  • How does each political party impact America’s vision?
  • How do the stars influence an outcome, either positive or negative?
  • What does the first term of a president look like as stipulated by the stars?

Based on these questions, a wider lens and deeper probe are necessary to lay the foundation for a proper forecast as to who wins the election and who takes the seat of President of the United States in 2025.

Answering the questions as posed by the stars indicate the winners and losers through the key election process dates, the political parties, the USA itself, recent elections and the country’s grand vision juxtaposed with the candidate’s grand vision.

For each of the following sections, the analysis will begin with a summarized paragraph for lay readers followed up by the astrological configurations for those who want to dive into the star interpretation.

The Grand Vision of 2020

With the Solstice on December 21, 2020, two stars, known as a Grand Conjunction, created an opening to usher in the New Era. Astronomically, you may recall the 800-year star, called the Christmas Star, that was visible to the naked eye. These stars haven’t been in as close an alignment since 1226.

In 2020 for more practical applications, these stars launched a 200-year cycle in the air element, instead of earthly one. This star configuration heralds a shifting from industrial and traditional constructs into technical and innovative abstracts. A perfect example of this shift is how the world is moving from actual money, in the form of paper dollars and metal coins, into electronic transfers or cryptocurrency.

Every planetary cycle initiates with a blending. In the Grand Conjunction, Jupiter, the God of the Gods, meets Saturn, the God of Karma, urging personal actions to prioritize how to achieve a great vision. On December 21, 2020, these two planets meet at 0° Aquarius, indicating a divine spark into a new age, a new world or a New Era.

One key element is the heralding of the New Era during the 2020 election process. In fact, the 800-year Christmas Star of December 2020 outlines the grand vision for America and for the world.

Diving into the 2020 Christmas Star configuration to highlight the grand vision of the country sets up which candidate actually is poised to run the country for the next 4 years. Of course, diving into the stars from 2025 – 2029 is also an excellent process for determination.

As with every star cycle, the planets either support or confront each other. The 4-year focus begins in the summer of 2024 with its first confrontation. From August 19, 2024 through June 15, 2025, this grand vision squares off to set up a huge wakeup call on March 30, 2025. The US presidential election falls within this time frame.

It’s a wakeup call for the United States and for the world. Let’s dive into the grand vision for the nation and each of the candidates to understand the future of the New Era.

USA Stars – Grand Vision

USA 2020

Summary: The Grand Conjunction on December 21, 2020 meets to launch the USA into its natural state of power, urging its citizens to find their assurance, confidence and worth. The American Dream, begging to be realized by as many people as possible, is alive and real when people respect another’s autonomy. For the dream to become a reality, it’s necessary to take the fear out of separation.

In the American Dream, everyone has the right to be free, equal and powerful. It involves stepping away from being part of a community where you’re rendered powerless, voiceless or your identity is lost. Where you’re deeply marked by religion or other group think belief systems that deny truth or run counter to collective reality. The denial of truths may become compulsive due to a need to create certainty around a belief that isn’t shared by anyone outside of the organized group.

Mars in the sky excites the nation’s own Mars to embrace the soul destiny of being open minded, bravely embracing duality and stepping into a state of possibility. The lower expression is convincing the people to embrace group think, get swept up in conspiracy theories and taking aggressive actions.

According to the stars, the country’s role in the world is supported when it steps into the flow of gender equality, balance of justice and center of moderation. The origin story of courage and independence is sparked to ignite leaders to take the country into its next chapter.

The Stars: Jupiter conjuncts Saturn at 0° Aquarius in the 2nd house pushing for the future in terms of craftsmanship, connection, money and success.

The collective soul destiny, the Gemini north node, blends with the country’s courageous position, Mars @ 21° Gemini, for being open minded, optimistic and accepting of duality.

Aries Mars in the sky @ 22° in the 4th house sextiles the country’s Gemini Mars @ 22° in the 7th house, exciting the hearts and minds of its citizens.

USA 2024 – 2025

Summary: The confrontation beginning on August 19th presses the nation to find its sovereignty with a bright light shining on freedom of speech. The leaders of the country have a chance to express their authentic beliefs about what it means to be a role model for every citizen. Change is in the air with positive opportunities to create lasting success. The work of the future involves speaking and believing the truth with honesty and generosity.

The message heard by Americans either expands their hearts toward or against freedom, inclusion and innovation. The future is here. The gap widens.

The lightning bolt of change supports the wholeness of appreciating the country at a soul level, moving the country into its New Era or holding onto the traditional ways. Mars once again sparks itself to exponentially expand its thinking about diplomacy, justice and commitment to its partners in the world.

The Stars: Gemini Jupiter squares Pisces Saturn @ 17° for its first exact aspect on August 19, 2024 with the 2nd following on December 24th and the 3rd on June 15th, 2025.

The Leo Sun conjuncts Mercury in the 9th house @ 26°, sparking conversations about leaders and how they express themselves.

Gemini Mars in the sky conjuncts the country’s Mars in the 7th house @ 19° and 21° respectively.

In the 7th house, Gemini Jupiter conjuncts Mars in the sky at 17° and 19° respectively, expanding justice and equality.

Kamala’s Stars – Grand Vision

Kamala 2020

Summary: Kamala’s grand vision involves healing and transforming the world to step into the New Era. She invites diving deeply into the shared bonds of the people while appreciating the humanity and vulnerability of belonging to something greater than any one person, group or community. She unites instead of divides and reconciles instead of injures.

Kamala has the ability to create and deliver powerful messaging to entice people to change and resolve problems and conflicts. Like the phoenix rising from the ashes, investing in the right resources is another avenue for growth. Her grand vision welcomes feminine wisdom and untold power.

Claiming her right to be powerful and bold is the underlying energy of her grand vision. Yes, she may be diplomatic, but underneath the strength of steel is not to be trifled with or underestimated.

The stars: Aquarius Jupiter conjuncts Saturn at 0° in the 8th house, sparking deep transformation.

The Sagittarius Sun and Capricorn Mercury conjunct, out of quality in the 7th house, providing optimistic leadership.

Sagittarius Venus quincunx Taurus Uranus at 6° in the 6th and 11th houses, respectively, asking for adjustments in the way people work together in the future.

Aries Mars in the sky at 22° in the 11th house trines Leo Mars in the 3rd house at 21°.

Pisces Neptune conjunct the Moon squares he collective soul destiny in Gemini and the collective soul karma in Sagittarius. Unity, creativity and spirituality meets the heart and power of showing up in the world.

Astrological chart for Kamala Harris, showing planetary positions and aspects with zodiac symbols and a table of degrees. The chart reflects a natal chart from October 20, 1964, alongside transit data for August 19, 2024.

Kamala 2024 – 2025

Summary: Kamala’s ability to attract people with her charisma, her orientation to service and her strong message couldn’t be more perfectly timed for her candidacy. She ignites change through her words and by attracting the right people into her sphere of influence.

The embodiment of the potential of women in positions of power explodes into being when she stands strong and doesn’t force through will, but invites through diplomacy.

The stars: The Gemini Jupiter square Pisces Saturn at 17° confrontation includes an opposition between Saturn-Virgo Venus at 17° and square between Jupiter-Venus too. On Kamala’s star chart, her own Venus at Virgo 17° is amplified by 1000.

In December, this configuration holds to amplify her ability to connect with people to convey what’s in her heart and mind. Kamala’s chart also rocks her Uranus and Pluto in Virgo 4th house. Her messaging may get lost in the noise or be misunderstood. Standing in her truth, being brutally honest and leaning into the shock and awe energy gives her a boost.

Donald’s Stars – Grand Vision

Donald 2020

Summary: In 2020, standing in his greatest leadership to disrupt the world is possible with this star configuration. The world understands and appreciates Donald’s messaging, lightning bolt approach and righteous posture to usher them into a new way of living and working. Initiating a new way of working or connecting with workers is possible. The world feels aligned with his energy. It seems he has come at the perfect time to fix everything that’s wrong.

Donald’s own soul destiny and karma align perfectly with the collective’s destiny and karma. The shock and awe sparks the change that he desires. In Gemini, it’s relatively easy to shift minds through speeches and arguments.

His Sun shines the spotlight on him for stardom while he takes any action he desires. The fuel for his power comes from his wish to be the guru. His wish is met and galvanizes him to take increased action to ensure it happens the way he wants.

The stars: Aquarius Jupiter conjuncts Saturn at 0° in the 6th house, changing the way Donald wants to show up in daily life.

The Sagittarius Sun and Capricorn Mercury conjuncts in the 5th house.

The Gemini collective north node conjunct Donald’s Sun, Uranus and north node in the 11th house opposing the Sagittarius Sun and south node in the 5th house.

Astrological chart for Donald Trump, showing planetary positions and aspects with zodiac symbols and a table of degrees. The chart reflects a natal chart from June 14, 1946, alongside transit data for August 19, 2024.

Donald 2024 – 2025

Summary: Donald’s grand vision requires a deep dive into healing and empathy for unity and creating the world he truly desires. He has the opportunity to heal his issues with women when he transforms to include them in his equation of success. His free will has demonstrated that he’s not open to heal or transform, so his issues with women increase. He digs a deeper hole which he can’t get out of when he tries to divide and conquer.

The ups and downs vibe of Uranus creates a ripple effect and whether it’s positive or negative depends on Donald’s commitment to his grand vision. When he doubles down, he expands the gap between what he desires and what the country needs. Sudden changes are likely improving his status with his own community, but creating further separation from those outside of his influence.

His luck is fed from women, justice and peace. If he allowed the freedom, balance and future of the nation to become part of his goals in his presidency, he could gain the success he desires. Regardless of his positions on policies, he gains money from his messages. With his merchandise selling and his requests for monetary support for his legal issues, he’s realizing his money fate.

The stars: The Gemini Jupiter in the 11th house squares Pisces Saturn at 17° in the 8th house.

Virgo Venus at 17° in the 2nd house opposes Pisces Saturn in the 8th house and squares Gemini Jupiter in the 11th house.

On Donald’s star chart, his Gemini Uranus is hit directly by Jupiter amplifying his shock and awe tendencies and expanding his issues with women.

His star chart is also supported with Gemini Jupiter at 17° in the sky harmonizing his Libra Jupiter 17° on his chart.

This star configuration repeats within 3 degrees, Jupiter-Saturn at 14°, on December 24, 2024 and will be discussed in subsequent articles.

Free Will Versus Star Chart

In the introduction, you read about free will and how free will shifts fate toward destiny and is an equal part of the equation. The September 10th presidential debate illustrates how the stars and free will either coincide or clash. The negative impact predominately wins whether it’s free will or the stars. Free will, when exerted with power and authority, overrides positive star influence. While the adverse star force isn’t easily overcome with free will. It can be done, but it requires much greater power than what’s written in the cosmos.

The Presidential Debate on September 10th

Star configurations around the date of the debate:

  • September 4, 2024: Mars enters Cancer
  • September 17: Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse
  • October 2, 2024: New Moon/Solar Eclipse

The first presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump occurred on September 10th at 9:00 pm ET in Philadelphia, PA. This had the potential to be an excellent debate for both candidates.

Kamala’s Debate

Here’s what I wrote before the debate about Kamala’s performance and results, “The debate should go well for Kamala Harris with the Virgo Sun 17° in the sky hitting exactly on her own Virgo Venus 17° in the 4th house, connecting with people at the root level. When she sticks with the details and gives statistics and analysis, this actually works for her during this debate.

Mercury in the sky at Virgo 1° excites her own Scorpio Mercury 1° soothing her mastery of strategy, weaving disparate patterns and speaking about hope, inclusion and freedom for the future. Kamala also wants to lean into connecting with women by talking about healing and transforming the nation. A little shock and awe in her responses benefit her too.

Mars in Cancer is in her first house, so creative diplomacy, deep connection and brave talk put her in a strong leadership position.”

Clearly, Kamala leaned into her star influence and gained respect, clarity and a lift in her polling results.

Donald’s Debate

This is what I wrote about the debate date based on what’s written in the stars, “Donald Trump’s star chart is very positively affected during the debate. It’s one of the best days for him with Jupiter in the sky amplifying his Gemini Sun, soul destiny and Uranus in the 10th house. He has the opportunity to come out on top at this debate filled with fortune and success. His messaging, ideas and beliefs are amplified, so he also has the chance of talking too much, being distracted and talking nonsensically.

Venus in the sky helps attract audience, creates charisma and increases chances for success. For Donald, Venus connects to his healing and good luck charms in the 2nd house of skills and money in the sign of Libra, which is balance, peace and harmony and connecting to your feminine side. Women can connect to Donald during the debate if he opens himself in authentic ways.

Mars in Cancer passes through Donald’s 11th house, so strongly suggests that he shows vulnerability and acts like a soft, yet strong leader to connect to his audience.”

Free will overrides the possibility or potential pitfalls in the stars. Donald’s performance at the debate was abysmal. He didn’t stay on message. He didn’t express empathy or vulnerability.

The result? He alienated minorities, women and people from other nations. The stars couldn’t save him or perhaps they did and it could have had a worse impact on his position in the race.

The Election Stars: November 5, 2024

The key star aspects during the week of the election and walking through them when describing the election results are important.

  • November 3, 2024: Cancer Mars opposite Capricorn Pluto
  • November 4, 2024: Mars enters Leo
  • November 5, 2024: America votes

On the geopolitical stage, the riskiest dates for instability and violence are from November 4th – December 6th with Mars moving forward in Leo until he stations retrograde on December 6th, muting him and suppressing his aggression.

For the US, the presidential election is within this timeframe tightening the effects due to the Cancerian Sun sign of the US. Mars in Cancer relates directly to both either positively or negatively. When the voting finishes on November 5th, the veracity of the vote will be inconclusive and fought rabidly to the ultimate finish.

Pluto reenters Aquarius on November 19th for the next 20 years ensuring the predestined influence involves either inclusion, innovation and freedom or detachment, revolution and chaos. Because this energy is so new, it’s unfamiliar and uncomfortable, making people want to cling to the past. Yet, the future is being fought now.

Crumbling institutions, financial markets and governments has been going on since 2008 when Pluto entered Capricorn. Pluto destroys the foundations, so the foundation of the future is being destroyed to make room for its highest potential. With chaos, comes creativity.

Complicating the election process is Mercury retrograde between November 25th – December 15th in the sign of Sagittarius, the traditional sign of gurus, religious leaders and dogmatic figures. This timing heralds the fight between the new era and the old world, the future and the past and freedom and oppression.

On November 3rd, Cancerian Mars opposes Capricorn Pluto at 29°, so it’s super cuspy amplifying its effects. This opposition gives the greatest range of choice between the heart and soul versus status and power. Softer influences, healing power and feminine influence battle with hierarchy, elitism and patriarchal tendencies. It’s the future of the New Era versus the past of traditional systems.

Ironically, but not surprisingly, the 2016 contentious election involved Mars at the last degree of Capricorn, entering Aquarius after the close of the voting on November 8th, 2016. In the 2020 election, Mars was at the midpoint of his own sign Aries and retrograde for intense suppression energy. I had said, “We won’t know the outcome of election for a long time, if ever. We may never know the results of the 2020 election.” Now in 2024, these 2 elections set up the 2024 November election.

Due to Mars retrograde period, Mars and Pluto oppose each other from the beginning November to April 2025. Everything that’s been brewing comes up to the surface to be resolved. For the US election, voting rights, social justice and the origin of the constitution’s promise is up for power grabs and controlling interests.

Mars, once again, is going to directly and adversely affect the 2024 election process.

General Election for Kamala Harris

Prediction: For Kamala Harris, November 5th brings a win in terms of votes as her grand vision aligns with the country’s grand vision.

Astrological chart for Kamala Harris, showing planetary positions and aspects with zodiac symbols and a table of degrees. The chart reflects a natal chart from October 20, 1964, alongside transit data for November 5, 2024.

Summary: When Kamala expresses herself clearly with deep and transformative messaging, she brings people out to cast their vote. Embodying the purity of intention with a sense of belonging is the energy that Kamala wants to emphasize.

Unifying women to vote is the key to her success. Including others so they feel as if they’re part of something bigger than themselves influences women, so they come out to vote to heal and transform the nation.

Kamala powers her success when she conveys transforming and healing for the soul of the nation. She’s heard by more and more people when she underscores her messaging about the future versus the past to move forward and not go back. “We won’t go back” is one of her best slogans.

She has a creative energy around election day that connects deeply with women. Kamala wants to be strong, authentic and clear in her messaging.

Her role in the public eye and her deep connections get a boost and these are the same influences as her Sun and Moon in the same signs. She continues to have the ability to connect to the citizens of the world.

Using her genius to overcome the roadblocks that are preventing the country from healing the divisions creates unity for the country. In Pisces, the quest is “We are one,” and when Kamala heals, she heals the world.

The stars: The Scorpio Sun in the sky passes at 13° in her 5th house to excite her Virgo Uranus 13° in her 4th house.

Gemini Jupiter retrograde 20° passes the 12th house to stimulate her Pisces Chiron at 20° in the 10th house.

The Leo Mars 0° opposition with Aquarian Pluto 0° hits Kamala’s stars in her 2nd and 8th houses.

Leo Mars at 0° passes through her 2nd house confronting her Scorpio Mercury at 1° in her 5th house.

The collective soul destiny in Aries at 4°and the soul karma in Libra at 4° crosses over Kamala’s 10th house and 4th house cusp, respectively.

Pisces Saturn at 12° passes through her 10th house blending with her Chiron at 14°.

General Election for Donald Trump

Prediction: For Donald Trump, he doesn’t have the win in terms of votes.

Astrological chart for Donald Trump, showing planetary positions and aspects with zodiac symbols and a table of degrees. The chart reflects a natal chart from June 14, 1946, alongside transit data for November 5, 2024.

Summary: The stars would support Donald IF his soul karma wasn’t involved. Donald’s karmic issues involve misunderstanding women and the Moon and Venus are feminine energies. This star illumination exacerbates his karmic wounds. Donald loses women in the nation’s vote and this loss is enough to bring him down in numbers with fewer votes then he needs to win the election.

Donald’s continued emphasis on what’s wrong, playing the blame game and victimizing others doesn’t endear him to anyone beyond his own following. He needs a boost into other segments of the voting population to increase his chances to win the 2024 election. The stars put pressure, confusing his position, lowering his followers’ energy and deluding the public.

The stars set up the opportunity for Donald to heal his wounds with women. His messaging doesn’t land overall, but perhaps he can connect deeply with families to boost his chances to win. Donald can absolutely make money from his messaging and merchandise from his campaign with this star configuration. Making money doesn’t equate to securing the presidency.

The stars: The Sagittarius Moon and Venus 21° in the sky pass to blend with his Moon and soul karma in his 5th house and opposing his Gemini Sun and soul destiny in the 11th house.

The collective soul destiny in Aries at 4°and the soul karma in Libra at 4° blends with his Libran Neptune 5° in the 2nd house.

Gemini Jupiter 20° retrograde passes over Donald’s Sun at 22° and Uranus at 17° and soothes his own Libran Jupiter 17° and Chiron 14° in the 3rd house.

Bottom Line

Since the US presidential election is a referendum on its constitution, the election process requires a deeper understanding of how the parties and candidates align with the country’s grand vision.

Given the star configuration throughout this election season, I don’t anticipate a final conclusion without involving the courts. It’ll be interesting to observe how the courts become involved and whether they allow complaint filings to be heard. Rulings can go either way.

The voting on November 5th matters, yet the ability to achieve its grand vision in the United States is up for review. The New Era requires freedom, inclusion and innovation, while the traditional ways are being forced to the surface in order to heal.

Stay tuned for the next segment on how the parties align or misalign with the nation’s destiny.

Thank you for reading and sharing with friends.

As always, wishing you joy,

Part 1. Realize New Era Trends through Stars, Stripes and Strategies

“Hope is the anchor for your soul,” I read on the kitchen wall of one of my dear friend the other day. I love this quote, remembering it’s from the Bible. Like everything spiritual, it’s perfectly timed.

Hope is the key. Anchoring your soul is the key. Everything in the world right now is on the edge of moving forward into the future versus sliding back into the past.

We’ve come to a crossroads where every single person is asked, “What do you choose? Do you choose the future or the past?”

Part 1. STARS

Everything is written in the stars. In fact, the early Popes were either astrologers or had astrologers. Reading the stars was as imperative for guiding the direction of kingdoms and nations as was navigating on the high seas.

Right now, the stars are a critical part of the equation in determining the future direction of the United States and the world.

New Era

On the world stage, Pluto moves the entire world from the institutional past to the individualized future through the energy shift from Capricorn to Aquarius. Dragging everyone from the comfort of the familiar to the uncertainty of the unknown brings freedom, inclusion and innovation or detachment, revolution and chaos. A combination of these is likely.

Entering Aquarius, Pluto shapes the path for the next 20 years and no one alive has ever experienced this energy as Pluto traverses Aquarius every 250 years. In 1776 – 1778, when Pluto was last in Aquarius, the United States declared independence from Britain, fought for freedom and won the Revolutionary War.

Now, Pluto in Aquarius marks the New Era as a monumental period of change and growth. This transition encourages the world to dismantle old hierarchies to foster individual uniqueness for a more sustainable approach.

The heralding of the New Era actually began on December 2020 through a Grand Conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn initiating the new age, paving the way for an equitable and democratic future. It wasn’t just a celestial spectacle but a powerful energetic shift, inviting you to align with your heart and soul to live to your full potential.

Your heart and soul are positioned front and center now that the New Era is here. The cosmos are a key component to fulfilling your soul potential. It’s all about combining the ancient wisdom of the feminine energies, including the stars, with the advanced technologies of the masculine core strengths.

Right now, the stars are pushing everyone to make choices that are critical and permanent. One major area of concern is the future of America’s democracy. According to a PEW report published on July 10, 2024, 72% of Americans believe democracy in the US used to be good, but has not been in recent years. Revisiting the United States birth chart gives insight into the remedies for the country’s soul at this critical juncture.

The Soul of the Nation

The USA was ‘born’ on July 4, 1776 at 5:10 pm ET in Philadelphia, PA. The signing of the Declaration of Independence is a well-known birth time of the country.

Sun & Moon

America’s Sun is in Cancer giving the USA a mission to protect, heal, and nurture others while also defending itself against those who impede on its soil.

Cancer is a feminine watery energy with a powerful mix in the 7th house expanding the country’s mission to protect the underserved and marginalized. This star set up provides a justice flare to its mission.

With Venus and Jupiter also in 7th house Cancer, good luck and success comes when the USA is true to itself and participates in diplomatic partnerships.

The Moon in Aquarius emphasizes freedom, innovation and inclusion. Freedom of speech is paramount to the soul of the nation with the 3rd house placement of the Moon. When interpreting its Sun and Moon, the Constitution of the US as a founding document makes sense.

Other Notable Qualities

Mission

Capricorn is in the 2nd house making leadership, power and tradition tantamount to the mission of the country. Taurus in the 6th house lends stability, materialism and determination to the regular working cycles. The land and her resources are also important components. The 10th house is on the cusp of Libra, making justice and diplomacy central to America’s mission.

Challenges

The identity of the country involves growing its sense of belonging and deeply anchoring into the ancestral roots of its citizenry. The instability of the nation’s partnerships is also an issue that pushes its officials to create chaos through shock and awe or lightning bolt campaigns. This isn’t logical, but produces results. The country’s soul karma and destiny are tied to this topsy-turvy energy.

Bravery

Gemini Mars in the 7th house squares Virgo Neptune in the 9th house requiring the people of the US to bravely open their minds and embrace the duality of their citizenry. Overcoming deception, delusion and escapism is required to bravely pursue the mission of the country.

Genius

Justice is the key to the US’ genius as Saturn in Libra in the 10th house squares the Cancerian Sun in the 7th house. Human, civil and workers rights are part of the country’s fabric and a necessity to fulfill in order for the country to live up to its promise. The US’ integrity, maturity, and responsibility are critical to achieve the nation’s commitment.

Soul Destiny

America’s soul destiny involves stepping into a leadership role on the world stage to effectively build bridges and radiate confidence. It requires finishing old business and avoiding being judgmental, dogmatic and isolated.

Healing its ‘exile’ or ‘outsider’ energy, utilizing resources responsibly and resolving the insecurities of its position in the world is required to fulfill the nation’s soul destiny.

Opening to the discomfort of the unknown and embracing complexity to transform like a phoenix when burned is also critical. Rising from the ashes is familiar and America can recover from its recent erosion as a sole superpower. It is also a choice its citizens can decide.

Presidential Candidates

The 2024 presidential election puts America at a crossroad with the voters deciding the future of the nation. Accordingly, analyzing the star charts of the candidates lends insight into the soul characteristics of each one.

Both of these presidential candidates were born under a Full Moon. They are both awakeners who have their soul destiny and karma within 2 degrees of each other. This is fascinating because the soul destiny cycle is every 18 years with the nodes rotating through each zodiac sign every 18 months.

The probability that both presidential candidates would be born 18 years apart with only a few months separating them is very low.

When reading the stars, the energies convey the potential and challenges for an individual, but don’t account for free will or the choices made along the way.

So, it’s important to subject the star influences with practical evidence the person has exhibited in his or her life. In this case, Kamala Harris is 59 and Donald Trump is 78 years old. They have both been in the national spotlight for years.

Kamala Harris

Kamala Harris was born on October 20, 1964 at 9:28 pm in Oakland, California. Kamala was actually born for this time right here and right now.

She is the Queen of the New Era as it was the written in the stars on the day she was born with her Full Moon configuration.

New Era Full Moon

Her 27° Full Moon with her Sun in Libra opposite her Moon in Aries is the absolute perfect formula for the New Era. The divine feminine energies of Libra and the divine masculine strengths of Aries are in exact opposition to each other, making the full range of possibilities available through her Sun and Moon.

Libra is a masculine zodiac sign, yet with a feminine advocate in Venus. Kamala’s Sun sign seeks balance, flow and peace, making her compassionate, diplomatic and a freedom fighter.

Her Libra Sun yearns for commitment to common ground. She has a fair and balanced energy with an underlying ferocity for justice.

With this comes a tremendous ability to deal with ambiguity and paradox, while always striving for harmony. She may obscure the boundaries between diplomacy and strength due to overprotection or advocacy of others.

In the New Era, Libra is the perfect symbol of the Divine Feminine with its charismatic skills of diplomacy and grace while also embodying the edgy characteristics of tenacity, intensity and strength for equality and the rights of others.

The full spectrum of the creation and destructive forces of the feminine are evident in this zodiac sign. With her Libran Sun in the 5th house, the art of creation is the expression of her life force. Creation aligns with the divine feminine as well.

Her Aries Moon in the 11th house becomes stronger as the 11th house builds over time. This house is also about community ties, humanitarianism and unorthodox thinking. The 11th house holds the wishes, plans and aspirations for the future.

Her Moon in Aries makes her brave, passionate, energetic and willful. It also makes her a natural leader, who aspires to make the future better than the past. Her goals will be inspirational, but realistic.

Her Moon in Aries gives her the masculine resources of Mars and his quick-action, warrior-like approach for the defense of others. At the same time, the Moon provides the pure feminine energy of nurturance, support and love.

This embodiment is also a reflection of the connection between the divine feminine and the divine masculine which is the key component of the New Era.

The 27 in numerology equals a 9 (2+7) which means harvest, fulfillment, the wholeness of the alpha and the omega; the beginning and the end. This signifies the complete cycle with her luminary energy.

Bottom line: Kamala was born for this moment.

Other Notable Qualities

Life Mission

Kamala’s life mission is filled with the watery signs of Cancer in the 2nd house, Scorpio in the 6th house and Pisces in the 10th house. Her skills and talents lie in her ability to care, help, support and protect the downtrodden or marginalized.

Her daily work and routines require her to dive deeply into subject matter to investigate wrong doing and to transform and heal through truth and honesty while being a unifying role model for the collective.

When she heals the world, she heals herself and vice versa.

Challenges

Kamala has Pluto, Uranus and Venus in her Virgo 4th house, enabling her to see perfection and pursue it relentlessly with fortitude and grace, especially in terms of safety and the sense of belonging. This is not an easy configuration.

Her ability to be attractive to large audiences is rife with unwarranted criticism and her values are judged without logic or reason. There’s a tendency for ups and downs that come out of nowhere, but bring great healing when they’ve completed their cycle.

Bravery

Kamala steps into her leadership through her voice. Her message matters, but equally important is her tenor and tone. When she’s bold and resonating with the truth of justice, her leadership shines.

When she’s timid or dissembling, she steps outside of the authenticity of her leadership. Taking courageous action is what makes her a great leader.

Genius

Her genius lies in her ability to weave disparate patterns into the meaning of life, set strategy and pursue both fortitude and integrity until satisfaction and completion are realized.

Her communication skills come into play requiring deep and transformative messaging that’s radically honest. She drives with intensity and passion to reach her goals and aspirations for the future.

She will not give up on you, especially when you don’t give up on her.

Her Soul Destiny

For Kamala’s soul, the questions are more important than the answers. Her soul yearns for debate, negotiation and floods of unexpected, mind-stretching experience with an appreciation of the vast differences of material, thoughts and constructs.

The duality of life is the succor and the remedy. She’ll find common ground and position the best possible outcome based on it. At the same time, she fully appreciates, and helps others fully appreciate, not only differences, but the need for those differences.

Her soul story involves loss of the safety of land and family, mass migration and fundamentalism pressing her to remedy these through a collective sense of belonging, security and freedom.

Collective Soul Destiny

Kalama’s Full Moon configuration matches the energy of the collective soul karma and destiny. They are in both of the signs of Libra and Aries until January 12, 2025.

Kamala’s Sun helps shine a light on soul karma ripe for healing, in terms of dithering, codependency and paying too high a price for conflict avoidance. Kamala’s Moon matches the quest for individualism, self-awareness and confidence without sacrificing the whole.

Donald Trump

Donald Trump’s birth time is based on Trump’s family chart. They use the birth time of June 14, 1946 in Queens, NY at 9:51 am ET. According to an article written by Christine Arens of Kepler College, Trump’s family uses this birth time for his astrological chart.

Two points of note:

  • The birth time is more than 1 hour different than his official birth chart, making his house alignment off by more than 12 degrees.
  • The Trumps refer to astrology. Given his timing for everything, I can attest to a strong coincidence or synchronicity of favorable energies in his presidential announcement, his upcoming debate schedule and the results of varying events.

Full Moon

Donald Trump was born under the waxing edge of a Full Moon within hours of its peak luminosity.

Donald’s Sun is in Gemini in the 11th house getting stronger as he ages. Remember Kamala’s Moon is also in the 11th house. They share similar energies of aspirational goal-setting, strategic direction and future strength.

In Gemini, however, the differences widen to involve lack of commitment, distractibility and exaggeration as these are characteristics regularly demonstrated by Donald.

This energy is enforced with his soul destiny nodal configuration and Uranus’ placement. Shock and awe create following and have always worked for him. Ups and downs in fortune, brilliance and communication is also a consistent struggle for him.

Donald’s Moon is in Sagittarius in the 5th house enabling him to seek lots of experiences, to step into entertainment and to enjoy lots of accolades. Travel, international reach and willingness to take risks are at the fore as is his passion to break up routines, to stretch his horizons and to be amazed.

He has a magnetism that creates allure and status and his Full Moon configuration sets him up beautifully for persuading, charming and convincing others to do what he wishes them to do.

Donald’s Moon sits exactly on his soul karma, so viewing this luminary through a negative lens is appropriate. This is what his soul wants him to overcome in his life.

Sagittarius negative tendencies involve overconfidence, irresponsibility, insensitivity to other’s feelings and foolish errors. 5th house negative leanings include abusive, uncontrollable relationships and creative blocks.

Other Notable Qualities

Life Mission

Donald’s earthly life mission includes Virgo in the 2nd house, Capricorn in the 6th house and Taurus in the 10th house. His skills and talents involve developing his craft with skill and commitment.

His regular routines include the position of leadership, pursuit of power and ambitious success. His role in the world seems easy and natural embracing the traditional trappings of the wealthy with indomitable determination.

Challenges

Donald has issues with women. His star chart shows a soul karmic wound involving his mother energy and a harsh placement of Venus with Saturn in the 12th house, limiting his ability to understand and connect with women.

His Chiron in Libra in his 2nd house of money creates lack of awareness of himself in relationship limiting his money and success. Because Libra is ruled by Venus, this position amplifies the female impact of his challenging Venus placement, linking it directly to money and success.

Bravery

Donald’s Mars lies in his first house in Leo, requiring bravery and action in his role as a leader. Mars loves to be adored and appreciated and has tons of energy to pursue everything he desires.

His passions run high as does his love for luxury. Donald and Mars in Leo are tightly bonded. This gives him magnetism and power to persuade others to follow him wherever he leads.

Genius

Donald’s soul yearns to understand the cycles of life, to surrender to the soul and to master the feminine experience of nurturance and support. Saturn and Venus in the 12th house in Cancer isn’t an easy configuration as nothing with Saturn is easy. Saturn always requires maturity, integrity and responsibility. He’s the tough love planet. On a more practical level, Donald’s facility with real estate, investments and family-owned businesses is a natural pursuit.

His Soul Destiny

Donald’s soul destiny is similar to Kamala Harris’ as they’re born 18 years apart and the soul destiny cycle is an 18-year duration. Free will is important in this description.

They each must choose to fulfill their destinies. Sagittarius’ soul karma presses Donald to try to overcome his lack of commitment, carelessness with details and an unending need for adoration and accolades.

The 5th house forces Donald to rid himself of self-destructive behaviors, gambling with his future and doubling down on pride.

His destiny involves pursuing strategy, humanitarianism and his ability to make money through groups, ambassadors and affiliates. While his strategy and humanitarianism aren’t evident, his ability to make money through his followers is unparalleled.

Bottom Line

“Hope is the anchor for your soul” is the signal of the future.

Freedom, innovation, inclusion and fulfilling the nation’s mission of justice to protect the underserved and marginalized aligns with the future.

The nation’s past is fraught with injustice, inequality and entitlement that doesn’t line up with its constitution. The nation’s destiny to fulfill its constitutional promise satisfies finishing business from long ago.

It requires a huge appetite for courage and change without being judgmental, dogmatic, and isolated.

If you’re a registered voter in the United States, you get to select the presidential candidate who represents what choice you’re seeking.

The next part of this article covers how the stars predict the electoral outcomes for the time period from the presidential debate on September 10, 2024 through the inauguration on January 20, 2025.
