In Part 2 of this special election series, the stars predicted Kamala Harris would win enough votes on Election Day to become President of the United States. However, the stars also predict the 2024 election process will be fraught with tension, aggression, and denial. The election will be fought to the finish.

If you missed “How the Stars Predict Who Gets the Votes on Election Night”, you can read the election predictions here or listen to the podcast episode #98 here.

The question isn’t who will get enough votes to win the Electoral College, but rather “Due to the contested challenges that will surely follow a close election, who will be sworn in as the 47th President on Inauguration Day?”

The fight to the finish involves key dates:

• Voting day November 5th
• State electoral deadline December 17th
• Congressional Certification January 6th
• Inauguration Day January 20th

The fight to the finish coincides with provocative star dates. Refer to the table below for the bigger star dates.

2024 US Election Star Overview

The star-studded backdrop for the entire election process involves the fight between Pluto, the God of Hell, and Mars, the God of War.

Each one of these planets is on the cusp of their respective zodiac signs and increases the edginess of the planets’ effect on the U.S. election. As if the God of Hell and the God of War need more force.

Adding to this terrible pressure is the squaring off between Jupiter, the Visionary, and Saturn, the Realist, as these planets hit exact on August 19, December 24, and June 15, 2025. These planets confront the grand vision of the major American political parties and the nation, stressing the election process further.

Pluto’s return brings a reckoning that pressures the U.S. Constitution, as explained in Part Three of this series. The Plutonian pressure will not relent until well beyond the Inauguration.

Mercury retrograde complicates these influences further, affecting each person with misunderstandings, confusion, and delays.

Mercury is a little planet with a big job. He’s the messenger, so he flits through the sky, triggering every planet as he passes by, especially when he stations retrograde.

In January, further sky configurations push everyone beyond the edge. The soul karma shifts to add complexity in the middle of the election certification process.
Let’s dive into each planetary aspect to determine how the stars set up the fight for the White House.

2024 US Election Star Analysis

1. Mars Opposition Pluto: Power versus Corruption

On November 3, January 3, and April 26, 2025, Mars and Pluto defend their positions to the death. The question is, “The death of what?”

On November 3rd, Mars in Cancer opposes Pluto in Capricorn at 29°, fiercely competing for the most powerful position in the world, or bravely anchoring the deepest soulful roots. The nation holds its central energy in the sign of Cancer, so the soul of the nation is actively at stake with Mars churning the constitutional reckoning to the surface. It can be incredibly healing as much as it is uncomfortable.

Will the citizens of America and its leaders be courageous enough to defend the soul of the nation? Or will the citizens lay back in complacency and force the leaders to represent their interests? Will the leaders stand for themselves, or the citizens they are elected to represent?

In late November and early December, Pluto moves into Aquarius for 20 years. Mars stations retrograde in Leo, repressing his fire and making him volcanic. Due to the zodiac sign change, the God of Hell fanatically pushes for revolution to create an ideal world and the God of War brutally fights for victory without any concern for collateral damage.

This intensity doesn’t let up. In fact, at the beginning of January, Leo Mars retrograde opposes Aquarius Pluto at 1°, amplifying the fiery intensity of Mars and making him more overbearing, aggressive, and seeking dominance. This leaves Pluto to deal with the collective soul destiny and karma as it reaches 1° at the same time.

The cardinal aspect of Aries’ destiny powers up the bravery required to stand on your own, forcing you to seek what matters most to you without regard for others. The soul karma in Libra wants to shed overdependence on others. Pluto makes one last push to force the nation to boldly heal its problems.

2. Jupiter Square Saturn: What’s MOST Important Right Now?

Gemini Jupiter squares with Pisces Saturn at 17° on August 19, the first night of the Democratic Convention, and then at 14° on December 24, 2024. The Grand Vision set up in 2020 is facing its first confrontation.

With Jupiter, he runs amuck until he meets up with Saturn, who’s the only one who can reign him in and keep him in alignment for any length of time. The Sun and Pluto also confront Jupiter, but with those energies, Jupiter gets pushed and then bounces back.

With Saturn, Jupiter is close enough to listen to Saturn’s sense of responsibility and to respect his maturity. Jupiter likes to dance with Saturn because he can use Saturn’s fortitude to make dreams come true.

Saturn doesn’t like anything about Jupiter. He thinks Jupiter is a toddler wanting everything impulsively. Saturn also doesn’t appreciate Jupiter’s overindulgence. He feels Jupiter is selfish and spoiled. Think of a father trying to teach his bratty little child how to behave. In the hierarchy of planetary power, Saturn wins. He beats out Jupiter 9 times out of 10.

Although the Jupiter-Saturn combination seems fraught with disruption and disappointment, these 2 stars help you create the grand vision of the nation. Jupiter supports big dreams and Saturn brings them into reality. However, it’s a complicated process, requiring difficult choices and setting limits that aren’t appreciated.

Regarding the U.S. election process, Jupiter opens the nation’s idealistic beliefs to envision the highest possibility while Saturn asks how can these dreams be realized and made practical to achieve the grand vision.

3. Mercury’s Dance: Communication Overdrive

Mercury adds complexity in November and December to both Jupiter and Saturn as they confront each other. In his direct position, Mercury flicks Jupiter then Saturn, and then, as Mercury stations retrograde, he irritates both again.

With the Sagittarius Mercury opposite Gemini Jupiter on November 18, and December 4 and 26, Mercury presses Jupiter to expand even more than usual. The positive side of Jupiter is flipped to reveal its weaknesses of overlooking important details, becoming overly optimistic and overconfident, perhaps to the point of greed and controversy.

As Sagittarius Mercury squares Pisces Saturn on November 12, December 6 and 27, he increases the negativity of Saturn to create difficult conversations and disruptive connections. Tangling with anything legal can mean bad news, pushing into deep trouble if left unattended.

For the 3rd Mercury retrograde of 2024, Mercury stations retrograde from November 25 until December 15. The vulnerabilities of Sagittarius are revealed to understand the deeper meaning behind this zodiac sign. Sagittarius can be dogmatic and fundamentalist with rigid opinions. This sign needs to overcome the desire to follow the guru at the cost of your own beliefs.

In January on or hear the key dates, Mercury continues his journey to irritate, stimulate, or otherwise aggravate the effects of other bigger planets.

On Congressional Certification Day, Sagittarius Mercury squares Pisces Neptune to distort your thinking, adding confusion and complicating business dealings. The potential for deception leads to sticky situations. Little lies lead to scandal and embarrassment leads to convoluted cover-ups. The bottom line, this star aspect complicates January 6th when the day needs clarity.

On the 19th right before Inauguration Day, Capricorn Mercury sextiles Pisces Saturn to bring clarity, logic, and common sense. Capricorn Mercury sextiles Aquarius Venus on the same day, bringing the potential to lift social, fun, and connecting energies. This transit leads to win-win situations.

4. Nodal Change: Soul Destiny & Karma

Between January 6 and 20, the collective soul destiny shifts as it does every 18 months. From January 12 – July 26, 2026, the soul destiny shifts from Aries back into Pisces to sweep the fierce individuation and leadership into the softer compassionate flow of unity. The soul karma changes from Libra into Virgo to heal self-doubt, judgment, and servitude.

The last times these nodal configurations occurred were (in reverse order) 2006-2007, 1987-1989, 1969-1970, and 1950-1952. Major global events during these configurations included the subprime mortgage crisis (2007), Black Monday on Wall Street (1987), the moon landing (1969), and the Korean War (1950-1953).

The theme of the opposition between Pisces and Virgo involves the experience of life. On one end, it’s the depth and expansiveness of the inner life and on the other, it’s the practical and relentless quest of the real world.

The goal of these nodal aspects is to reach for the soul with spiritual pursuits, creativity, and unity. Connection is the key to every aspect of the inner life and outer world. To achieve this destiny, healing self-criticism, working without end, and the pursuit of perfection are required.

After the Votes Are Cast, They Need to be Counted & Certified

Before the 2020 election, most Americans were unaware of the ceremonial process that translated their votes into certified victories for the winning Presidential candidate. Last time, certification was fraught with conflict.

Now the public knows there’s a vulnerable time between Election Day in November and Inauguration Day on January 20th.

Two main thresholds must be met to elect the next president. First, on December 17th, state-chosen ‘electors’ meet in their respective state capitols to cast binding electoral votes based on the winner of their state’s popular vote on Election Day. For example, since New York has 28 electoral votes, 28 ‘Electors’ meet in Albany (the capital) to ‘vote’ for whoever wins the state on Election Day.

The second threshold occurs in Congress on January 6th. The House of Representatives and the Senate receive the votes from the state electors and certify the election with a majority vote. The 2021 Insurrection clouded this ceremonial process, so it’s important to explain as we examine the astrology of these dates. I promise this isn’t a Schoolhouse Rock episode.

Finally, the courts also have the opportunity to weigh in if legal appeals are appropriate. Both sides have hired scores of attorneys ready and waiting to litigate suspected fraud. In 2020, the Trump campaign filed over fifty lawsuits alleging election fraud, but were dismissed without standing in each case. Typically, there are far fewer, but campaign rhetoric indicates much more activity in 2024.

State Electoral Voter Deadline: December 17, 2024

Due to the nature of the campaign cycle and star forecast, there is a high chance that the election will be contested throughout November and will not be resolved when state electors meet on December 17th.

The energies for this timing involve Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius from November 25th to December 15th, dragging the electoral process through mishaps, miscommunication, and snafus.

Reviewing the stars for the day and then for each of the candidates on this deadline date matters to see whether one candidate comes to the surface with a win or not.

Stars:

• Sagittarius Sun has a waning gibbous relationship with the Moon in Cancer at 26°
• Cancer Moon 26° soothes Pisces Neptune 27°
• Sagittarius Sun 26° confronts Pisces Neptune 27°
• Gemini Jupiter squares Pisces Saturn 14°
• Sagittarius Mercury at 6° synthesizes Leo Mars retrograde 5°
• Aquarius Pluto 0° trines Libra soul karma and excites the Aries soul destiny 2°

Interpretation:

At the core of the daily energy this day is set up with blessings and wealth. This is good luck and an aspect of healing. It helps release and liberate unwanted influences.

On the other hand, passions are supported by unity and creativity while political leadership faces confusion, deception, and lethargy. People are battling against the odds and are at risk of exploitation.

Gemini Jupiter square Pisces Saturn returns the nation to its experience from December 2020 when these two planets kicked off their cycle. These stars present the exact issues that occurred in 2020. The results were contested, and a minority of voters (30%) outright denied the outcome. This time is difficult, heavy, and tense.

The pressure continues to build through the 24th and may come to a head during the holiday week.

Mercury empowers confidence, negotiation, and decisiveness. It becomes a challenge due to the suppression from Mars retrograde, making it impossible to keep quiet and push defensive postures.

Justice, advocacy, and human rights come up for healing while aggression, rebellion, and violence receive a tidal wave of energy. Pluto isn’t for the weak of heart. Pluto brings everything up for resolution. Civility, diplomacy, and grace are the way forward to create freedom, inclusion, and equity. The courts come into play. The question isn’t if, but when.

Aquarius Venus supports Gemini Jupiter within 3 degrees, coming exact on the 19th, to relieve the other heavy energies. This feels uplifting, filled with optimism to create success and abundance.

State Electoral Voter Deadline for Kamala Harris

Kamala’s stars on December 17th have many major synchronicities between the Sun, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, and Chiron in the sky and her soul destiny, her luminaries, and other planetary energies. This is a tough configuration for Kamala.

Sagittarius Sun at 25° in the sky conjuncts her soul karma at the descendent and opposes her Gemini soul destiny at her ascendant. Similar to Trump on Election Day, this could be a positive aspect but is not due to the negative tone of karma. The Sun shines on issues requiring resolution like judgment, impulsivity, and being awkwardly stressed and impatient.

Sagittarius Sun at 25° in the sky excites her own Libran Sun at 27° in the 5th house and soothes her Aries Moon at 27° in the 11th house. The spotlight shines on Kamala’s birthright of being the Queen of the New Era. The public sees her as their leader, but does the electorate?

Taurus Uranus retrograde at 24° in the sky conjuncts her Taurus Jupiter retrograde at 24°in the 12th house creating sudden changes, unexpected shifts, and potential windfalls. Unpredictable situations come to a close. This could be an ending or a finish to a hard-won effort. Typically, Uranus creates opportunities, but they’re destabilizing. With chaos comes creativity.

Pisces Saturn 13° conjuncts her Chiron 14° in the 10th house and opposes her Virgo Uranus 13° and Pluto 15° in the 4th house. Saturn is the traffic cop and he constrains everything he touches. The translation? Things outside of Kamala’s control and loss of support can limit her life’s direction.

Aries Chiron retrograde 19° in the sky passes through her 11th house and harmonizes with her Leo Mars 21° in the 3rd house. Kamala gets a boost to her leadership, strong voice, and compelling message. When she stands in her power, she gets things accomplished. When she seeks healing for the nation, she gets healing for her life direction.

Additionally, Kamala is the Queen of the New Era with her Libra Sun and Aries Moon at 27°. With America’s Pluto in Capricorn at 27°, she’s the confrontation and the remedy to America’s progress in fulfilling its mission. The electoral process is up for review and it’s fitting that Kamala is in the midst of it. It’s always going to be a choice between the New Era energy of possibility and the traditions of historical institutions.

State Electoral Voter Deadline for Donald Trump

The stars in the sky passing through Donald’s stars support him more during the state electoral vote deadline than they did during the general election. However, it’s not a slam dunk. There are complicating factors in Donald’s stars just like Kamala’s.

Taurus Uranus retrograde 24° excites Venus 25° & Saturn 23° creating an uncomfortable situation filled with updated old systems and traditions. With Donald’s planets in the 12th house, there’s a sense of loss and dissipation. Unsettled situations may be laid to rest if Donald works to unite people for a common purpose. The likelihood of this is extremely low given his recent history with his followers, his detractors, and the public at-large.

Taurus Uranus retrograde 24° squaring Leo Mars 26° in Donald’s 1st house makes him restless, impulsive, and rebellious against authority. Rash actions and dangerous risks are the most likely outcome. He’s going to explode with this transit, shaking things up to create chaos.

Aquarius Venus 11° in the sky passes through his 6th house to oppose Leo Pluto 10°in the 12th house making Donald feel threatened, suspicious, and possessive. Lashing out against weaker people and relying on underhanded dealings through manipulation and power plays are his go-to’s, no matter what advice he receives.

Sagittarius Sun 25° conjuncts Sagittarius Moon 21° opposes Gemini Sun 22° combined with the soul karma and soul destiny, respectively. This complicates Donald’s chances for success through the electoral voting process as both luminaries highlight his wounding, especially with women. The state voting certification process emphasizes the lack of votes from women throughout the nation. Each state may fight against certifying, but it’s not a done deal.

Gemini Jupiter retrograde 15° in the sky passes through his 10th house harmonizing his Chiron Libra 14°. Even with the retrograde positioning, this star aspect increases his chances to talk his way into and out of ways to increase his chances of winning, regardless of the vote totals.

Donald Trump’s star configuration is marginally more positive than Kamala Harris’ for the state electorate voting deadline. The process isn’t going to be transparent, straightforward, or nonpartisan, so the outcome may not be known or accepted by the deadline of December 17, 2024.

January 2025: The Results (Hopefully)

Key January Stars:

• January 3, 2025: Leo Mars opposite Aquarius Pluto
• January 6, 2025: Sagittarius Mercury squares Pisces Neptune
• January 6, 2025: Mars Rx reenters Cancer
• January 12, 2025: Collective Soul Nodal change
• January 12, 2025: Mars retrograde trine Neptune
• January 21, 2025: Aquarius Sun conjunct Pluto

Mars and Pluto directly impact the Congress’ certification process on January 6th and the Sun and Pluto influence Inauguration Day. Neither star position is positive. Let’s explore what the stars say for each day and then analyze how these stars impact each of the presidential candidates.

Certification by Congress on January 6, 2025

January begins with the repressed force ready to blow, while the stars exponentially add pressure with each configuration layered one over the other. After the star forces of November and December, people are fatigued, yet there’s no relief in sight.

Stars:

• Leo Mars opposite Aquarius Pluto
• Sagittarius Mercury squares Pisces Neptune
• Mars Rx reenters Cancer
• Pluto squares North and South Nodes

Interpretation:

The stars lead to confusion, deception, and sticky situations, creating a crossroad culminating in a crisis. This is not a good transit to negotiate, do important business, or deal with legal matters.

The stars also repress the leadership and power of Leo creating drama, intensity, and repressed emotions. The need to lash out, control others, and manipulate them into doing what you want them to do.

The fight for freedom and the future or holding onto tradition and the past continues. The pressure begins two days before Election Day in November and doesn’t end until April 2025. Right before the election, Pluto is in Capricorn, boosting the energy for the institutional structures. Now in Aquarius in January, the energy leans toward flattening the hierarchy to include the masses for the greater good.

Pluto is pressing the world’s soul destiny and amplifying its soul karma. Yes, this can be incredibly healing, but it’s also extremely difficult as it brings every wound to the surface. The world is wrangling with equity, rights, and the rule of law. For the U.S., this moment questions the validity of the Constitution. Is the country living up to its promise of freedom, equality, and ability to achieve the American dream?

The stars don’t make judgments, they present challenges or opportunities. It’s up to the people and their free will to make this determination. As far as the stars are concerned, the promise has been made and the bill has come due.

Kamala’s Stars on January 6, 2025

Kamala has a better chance of a positive outcome on January 6th than Donald due to the alignment of her stars, especially Venus at her Midheaven.

Pisces Venus 3° in her sky stands on her Midheaven, which is her status in the public eye. This attracts the public, especially women. With Venus here, Kamala expands her leadership role and life mission. Her charisma and ability to charm the public are at a year-long high.

Taurus Uranus conjuncts Jupiter in the 12th house creating sudden opportunities and unexpected possibilities. It wants to ensure governmental policies are upheld and mature, responsible choices are made. This can be a rebellious influence too.

Pisces Neptune 27° in the sky asks Kamala’s Sun and Moon to make adjustments to step into her natural leadership role with diplomacy and strength. Media is her friend, so using it judiciously advances her agenda.

Sagittarius Mercury 26° in the sky soothes her Arian Moon 27° and excites her Libran Sun 27°, making this a great time to set strategy and make plans because people want to know what she’s thinking and doing. This is also a time for powerful communication and heartfelt connection.

Conversely, Pisces Saturn conjuncts Chiron at 14°giving Kamala a struggle to be heard and understood. She has to shine her brilliance and own her right to become the leader. Period. This aspect, although difficult, doesn’t offset the positive influences of her other configurations.

As Pisces Saturn 14° passes through the 10th house, the planet opposes Virgo Pluto 15° in Kamala’s 4th house. Limits, delays, and regulations tie up and postpone solutions unless the results are clear and practical, supporting the genius ways to heal the nation.

Sagittarius Mercury 26° conjunct South node 25° pushes for disruption of the status quo with extreme objectivity and radical honesty. This is the time for Kamala to stand up and demonstrate her inclusive, hope-filled leadership.

Donald’s Stars on January 6

Donald’s stars aren’t as positive as Kamala’s on January 6th due to the absence of constructive cosmic support.

Sagittarius Mercury 26° in the sky in his 5th house soothes Leo Mars 26° in the 1st for powerful communication and persuasive arguments. His fiery posture to stand with courage and bravery is supported, yet any aggressive measures backfire due to other star aspects. The key for him is to be creatively strong without alienating anyone.

Taurus Uranus 23° in the sky in his 10th house excites his Cancer Saturn 23° along with his Venus 25° in his 12th house. This movement creates positive changes and surprises, however, the 12th house conveys loss and disappointment. This is particularly fraught as Donald’s genius is complicated by his karmic issues with women. Venus and Uranus stirring together bubbles up these problems and complicates matters for Donald.

Sagittarius Mercury 26° in the sky in Donald’s 5th house asks for adjustments of his Cancer Venus 25°configuration in his 12th house. Taking big leaps of faith with Donald’s messaging can be supportive in legal matters when he gambles. This standing aligns with his natural tendency to take risks. He will win certain arguments and come out on top in serious matters. The question is, “Is this too late to bring up legal arguments, and what process supports that at this time?”

Pisces Neptune 27° in the sky passes through Donald’s 8th house supporting his Cancer Venus 25° in his 12th house. It is deep and transformational healing energy. It’s also the unity and compassionate embrace of women and feminine energies. When Trump demonstrates his softer side, he’s lifted up. On the other hand, this configuration also enhances persuasion and influence to dissolve boundaries. The stars aren’t giving a clear indication of whether this is a positive or negative influence.

Inauguration Day on January 20, 2025

On Inauguration Day, the Sun enters Aquarius to step into freedom, inclusion, and innovation in the best case or detachment, revolution, and chaos at the worst. With the Sun blending with Pluto on the next day, the worst-case scenario is more probable. Manipulation, power struggles, and control issues fill the center of the moment.

Once again, the collective soul destiny and karma get pressure from Pluto. This is super cuspy, so it contains stronger energy than normal. The intensity mounts.

The Inaugural Ceremony begins at Noon ET in Washington, DC. The concrete timing of the process can present a thorough star chart, complete with house placements. This adds another layer of information that the two prior dates, December 17th and January 6th, lack.

The star chart is extremely busy, with nearly ten star aspects impacting the seminal day for the United States.

Stars:

• Aquarius Sun at 0° at the Midheaven conjuncts Pluto at 1°
• Aquarius Sun at 0° at the Midheaven excites the Arian mean node in the 11th house at 0°
• Aquarius Sun at 0°at the Midheaven supports the Libran soul karma in the 5th house at 0°
• Libra Moon 18° in the 6th house squares Capricorn Mercury 18° in the 9th house
• Pisces Saturn 16° conjuncts Venus 17° in the 11th house
• Capricorn Sun 15° sextiles Pisces Saturn 14°
• Capricorn Mercury 18° in the 9th house sextiles Pisces Venus 17° Saturn 16° in the 11th house
• Cancer Mars retrograde 24° sextiles Taurus Uranus 23° at ascendant
• Taurus Uranus 23° sits on the day’s ascendant 25°

Today is an opportunity to be bold without anger, brave without resentment, and courageous without bitterness. It’s a delicate balance, and the collective soul karma is triggered to react to unwanted circumstances. Luckily, the soul destiny is being supported so the balance between diplomacy and justice can be achieved.

Power plays, control struggles, and manipulation for particular outcomes is the rule of the day. The Sun is shining on all of the problems that lie underneath the surface. It’s time to stand strong against upsets and protect against aggression. Repair the fractures that arise as this is also a great time for transformation.

Leadership’s message is tested on the world stage, making it difficult to find footing on cross-cultural beliefs or philosophical opinions. Passion for common interests is complicated by the inability to communicate clearly. It’s better to revisit your connections another time.

Healing the energy of gender repression and disadvantage is an opportunity to recognize that women are the future and the rulers of the masses. Financial and budgeting constraints are also up for review. This is a good time to understand and appreciate value. The value of equality, the value of inclusion, and the value of achieved standing are highlighted.

Maturity and responsibility are in vogue. Hard work and effort are required to achieve your goals. This isn’t a time to take the easy way out or forego the honest route. This is the time for integrity first and foremost.

Change is in the air. This time is a bid for freedom. Being brave and forthright to push the boundaries creates success and good fortune. It’s a time for sudden and sweeping change. Getting rid of limits heralds new beginnings. This is time for a fresh start.

Being social and engaging with others diffuses intensity creating space for civility, kindness, and compassion. Creative solutions and healing options rise to the surface.

Kamala’s Inauguration Stars

Stars:

• Cancer Mars 24° 1st house sextile Taurus Jupiter 24° 12th house
• Pisces Venus & Saturn 16° 10th house trine Scorpio Neptune at 16° 6th house
• Taurus Uranus 23° conjunct Jupiter 24° 12th house
• Capricorn Mercury 17° 8th house trine Virgo Venus 17° 4th house
• Capricorn Mercury 17° 8th house sextile Scorpio Neptune 17° 6th house
• Pisces Venus Saturn 16 10th house trine Scorpio Neptune 17° 6th house
• Pisces Venus conjunct Saturn 16° to her Chiron 14° 10th house
• Pisces Neptune 27° 10th house quincunx Libra Sun 5th house and semi-sextile Aries Moon 27° 11th house

Interpretation:

Kamala has an excellent chance for success and good fortune, making it an ideal time to tackle difficulties and to welcome increased popularity. Serving others for healing and transformation is at an all-time high. Unexpected and sudden changes create expanded opportunities. Expanding horizons into the international field is probable with these stars. Additionally, leaning into more responsibility is also an outcome.

Speeches are received positively when the message is compassionate and unifying. A compassionate leader increases strength and power. This is a great time for inspiration and influence. It’s even a good time for garnering favors, particularly to resolve issues and break down barriers.

Realistic headway can be made for transformation and healing with fresh starts and new strides. With the right leadership, the soul of the nation leans in to create more positive results. Open minds and flexible thinking open the possibilities. Creative solutions come to life.

Donald’s Inauguration Stars

Stars:

• Capricorn Mercury 17° 5th house square Libra Jupiter 17° 3rd house
• Libra Moon 10° 2nd house sextile Leo Pluto 10° 12 house
• Pisces Venus conjunct Saturn 16° square Gemini Uranus 17° 11th house
• Taurus Uranus 23° 10th house sextile Cancer Saturn 23° 12th house
• Cancer Mars retrograde 24° conjunct Saturn/Venus 23-25° 12th house
• Gemini Jupiter 11° 10th house sextile Leo Pluto 10° 12th house
• Pisces Neptune 27° 8th house trine Cancer Venus 25° 12th house

Interpretation:

This is a challenging time for Donald and these restrictions cause frustration and rising tensions. The way forward is through a step-by-step approach while looking at the long term. Strategy and gameplay position Donald to make adjustments to avoid restrictions on his freedom.

Donald has a powerful influence on those around him. His instincts are heightened right now. He also has errors in judgment that lead to exaggeration, arrogance, and over-promises. Mistakes can cause problems that are usually avoided. When he pays attention to messaging, he can create opportunities. Unexpected events bring sudden change, while impulsiveness shifts loyalties.

Calculated risks make constructive change. Modifying outdated structures while exhibiting common sense creates positive change. Donald can bring order out of chaos, but this isn’t his typical approach. Teamwork and uniting people for a common purpose would benefit him tremendously.

Donald’s popularity and influence are increased, as is his power. Going with the flow and allowing positive forces to work for him behind the scenes benefits his position. A soft and unifying approach is the best method to boost Donald’s role in the world.

Bottom Line

Given the star configuration throughout this election season, I don’t anticipate a resolution without involving the courts. Predicting legal decisions is not possible based on the constrictive timelines of the election process. 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 stars have layers of complexity for each of the presidential candidates. Kamala’s stars are slightly more positive than Donald’s and could allow her to become Commander-in-Chief. This is not going to be an easy or comfortable process.

The fight to the finish doesn’t end on Inauguration Day. In some ways, the fight begins with the swearing-in to office. Accordingly, interpreting the stars through the first term of the next president, from January 2025 to 2029 is necessary to see more clearly how the presidential race serves to transform the nation.

I’ll be covering that in Part 5 of this special US election series.

This continues to be a rocky ride. Let’s buckle up.

Thank you for reading and sharing with friends.

As always, wishing you joy,

Kim

Stay tuned for Part 5. Cosmic Forecast for the First Term 2025 – 2029

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

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.

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.

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.)

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,

Check out Part 4: How Do the Stars Predict the Fight to the Finish?  

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.

If you missed the first podcast episode in the series, you can listen to “Episode 94: Which US Presidential Candidate Uses Astrology?” here.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
