So: Who’s Going to Win the Election?

 Wouldn’t that be great to know right now?!

In days of old, we would try to stay awake on election night until the ‘official’ (and unquestioned) results were announced on television.

Today, it is possible that it will take days or even weeks to determine the electoral outcome – and/or that the outcome won’t be ‘final’ until after the courts weigh in.

How do astrologers read charts for this ambiguity?

First of all, is there anything obvious? Well, astrologically I can see clearly that Trump’s chart looks quite positive and well-aspected on election night!

The further away we get from that point in time, however, Trump’s chart gets less strong. Hard to tell.

So – what if we use another tactic?

Why don’t we look at how the date and time of the inauguration influences each candidate’s chart? Surely a big deal – like the moment of becoming President – will show up clearly... won’t it?

This technique, too, doesn’t yield crystal clear evidence for these candidates in this year’s election – but in my astrological opinion Harris’s chart is the stronger of the two for that date and time.

Using a common technique called secondary progressions (with mean quotidian angles) – during inauguration the full moon on which Harris was born lays exactly across the horizon in her progressed chart. Other indicators (‘transits’) to her birth chart show a theme something like: ‘serious transformative words in your career’ – which... perhaps refers to an oath of office?  ;-)

In contrast, Trump’s chart, to me, on inauguration day shows more activity health-wise or behind-the-scenes – and it looks more like an aftermath of major events. The full moon on which Trump was born, which on election night was so favorably aspected by the optimistic planet Jupiter, is now more closely aspected by the sobering wake-up planet Saturn.

And yet ...

A major indicator of ‘unpredictable reversal in career’ (Uranus on the Midheaven) continues to be strong in Trump’s chart. Whaaat??

I guess we’ll all know who the next president is – when we know.

So: VOTE!!
