If you are fond of democracy, then you’ve been freaking out about the polls. I have tried to avoid the freak out by looking at the astrology of the candidates. I will share why I think this could turn into a crazy mess of candidates and what the aspects and the stars have to say about the November 5, 2024, election.
I started prognosticating future political and economic events on the Internet in 2008. I’m fairly sure I was the first astrologer to do so. Now, there are a proliferation of psychics and astrologers who take these topics on. But so far, I haven’t found anyone who uses my methods.
I started looking at elections with astrology in the race between George Bush and Al Gore. At the time, I wasn’t using progressions at all, just transits. From that alone I could tell it was going to be a crazy election. I predicted that both would win, but George Bush had a narrow lead and would become president. It looked to me like both of them were going to win. I couldn’t understand it at the time. It was unprecedented, but as a student of the Constitution and history, I knew someone could win the popular vote and not the electoral vote; this is what I predicted. Bush would lose the popular vote but win the presidency, which is what happened. Even I was surprised because it was so odd. I worked as the manager of the local polling place that year because I was so concerned about cheating. I did witness a lot of it on the Republican side, but that story was quickly eclipsed by the bigger mishigas that happened in Florida.
My theory was if someone were going to win the presidency there would have to be some major aspects in their chart. In the case of both Bush and Gore, neither was an incumbent, so the change would be massive for either person. They would not only become the most powerful person on the planet, but they would move, relocate their family, and be under intense scrutiny and pressure. If there weren’t major aspects on the day that was decided,, I figured it was time to throw out astrology entirely.
Things have gotten crazier and more complicated since then. Instead of being an outlier in American history, the Bush vs Gore election was the beginning of a trend of corruption, cheating, and a burgeoning oligarchy as a result of the Supreme Court decision, Citizens United (among other things).
This year, we have an undervalued 12th house president who has done a remarkable job retooling the economy and rescuing the economy from the last Pluto square that would have tanked the market if he hadn’t brought jobs home, raised the minimum wage, supported unions, and put billions into infrastructure projects here at home. Biden has done more to turn back Reagan’s neo-liberal economic model to the post-Depression, FDR-engineered economy than any other president since the 1960s. His work proves if you use a transit with good intentions and insight, it can be transformative instead of deadly. Astrology must always be used in context with logic, intuition, and great overall pattern recognition in order for it to be accurate. The more you know about everything as an astrologer, the better you are at predicting events.
You might remember me predicting (at least 3 years ago now) that DeSantis would not be president in 2024. How did I know this? I looked at his chart with the transits on election day and realized there wasn’t a snowball’s chance in hell he would get the nomination. It was a relief, and I could ignore all the noise after that.
Now we are seeing Mr. Trump resurface from his middle-earth lair when he really should be behind bars. He is a prolific criminal, liar, sexual predator, traitor, deviant and coup engineer. The argument that he should be allowed on the ballot is insane, especially since there is literally a constitutional amendment that prohibits it in the same way that being born in Nigeria would prohibit someone from being a US President. Ironically, he was one of the architects and salespeople of that snow job against Obama, as if you could register to run in a national election without a birth certificate. You can’t get married or a driver’s license for the first time without one. Moving on and away from all the irony.
Let’s look at just the transits of all the main players, and I’ll explain why I think this election will be unique.
