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 in Aquarius is asking the United States how it has executed its democratic principles.

Pluto in Aquarius begins 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 political astrology 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 and political astrology 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 astrology of the 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 of their political astrology 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.

In political astrology, 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 mission and 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.

In political astrology, 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 of their political astrology 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. The political astrology impacting 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. In politics and astrology, they need women and deep transformative moves to realize their goals.

Other Notable Qualities

Mission

The soul 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 and astrology. 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 of their political astrology 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 political astrology 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 and political astrology, 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 in their political astrology. 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 in political astrology. 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. According to political astrology, 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 mission and 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?

October 2024 Astrology Forecast 

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 personal 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 an 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 personal 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 the October 2024 astrology forecast 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.

Week 4: October 21 – 27

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

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.

Love is possible when you step into your true desires and your heart’s passions. The key is to dive deeply to let soul level intimacy and shared bonds come together.

A majestic adult male lion with a thick, dark mane is walking forward on all fours. The lion’s intense gaze is focused straight ahead, showing confidence and strength.

Lion represents leadership. As a lion, you’re strong, powerful and dignified. You’re a natural leader, curious and love to be part of a group.

Call on lion when you want to recapture your self-respect, need to regain your feeling of power or need to complete a complicated project.

Flower Essence: Olive

A large, ancient olive tree with a gnarled trunk stands beside a stone wall on a rocky path. The warm glow of the sunset illuminates the landscape, casting soft light on the tree and the surrounding area.

In October, the ancient feminine wisdom filled with joy, magic and power is the key to this flower essence. This flower essence adds energy to the core masculine and softens the edges of the feminine. 

Overall, this flower essence restores vitality and joy while providing a refreshing energy. Olive helps hit the reset button, providing spiritual and physical rejuvenation.

Move from exhaustion to inner renewal with this flower essence as olive works its magic to open you up to yourself and tap into resources provided by Mother Earth.

Your inner guidance is recalibrated and your ability to achieve pace, strength and renewal is activated and integrated into your being. (This is the same flower essence as recommended in September.)

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, according to astrology insight, 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?”

If you’d rather listen to the podcast episode than read the article, click here.

Part 1. STARS

Everything is written in the stars. In fact, the early Popes were either astrologers or had astrologers, seeking astrology insight. 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 and astrology insight 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 offers astrology insight into how it 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 mission to live to your full potential.

For the special edition ‘New Era’ 3-part podcast series with 30+ page guide, click here to access.

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 astrology insight into the remedies for the country’s soul mission  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.

Astrological birth chart of the USA, showing planetary positions on July 4, 1776, at 5:10 p.m. in Philadelphia, PA, with transits for November 5, 2024.

Sun & Moon

Astrology insight of 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 into astrology insight for the nation. 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

Astrology insight into 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 mission and destiny involves stepping into a leadership role on the world stage to effectively build bridges and radiate confidence. Astrology insight shows 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 astrology 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 written in the astrology insight of the stars on the day she was born with her Full Moon configuration.

Astrological birth chart of Kamala Harris, showing planetary positions on October 20, 1964, at 9:28 p.m. in Oakland, CA, with Sun in Libra and Gemini ascendant.

New Era Full Moon

Astrology insight into 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.

Insightful astrology 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: According to astrology insight, 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. According to astrology insight, 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  mission, 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

Kamala’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 astrology insight 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 insight. 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.

Astrological birth chart of Donald Trump, showing planetary positions on June 14, 1946, at 9:51 a.m. in Queens, NY, with Sun in Gemini and Leo ascendant.

Full Moon

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

Donald’s astrology insight into his Sun 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 mission 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 offers astrology insight 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.

Through the astrology insight of 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 mission 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, according to astrology insight, 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 astrology insight of 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 and astrology insight predict the electoral outcomes for the time period from the presidential debate on September 10, 2024 through the inauguration on January 20, 2025.
