The 2024 U.S. election ties beautifully into the cosmic forces of the New Era, a concept I have been discussing for years. For those who are new, the New Era is the return of Pluto for the United States and then into the sign of Aquarius. Sometimes called ‘the age of Aquarius,’ it is a symbol of societal change, innovation, and transformation.

The soul of America is firmly on this precipice. Will the United States stay united based on its original constitutional structures or will it rewrite them in a new way? Will the country remain a superpower policing the world or turn inward to heal its wounds?

The next few years push the United States to the brink and we all have a front-row seat to the unfolding of the country’s judgment day.

America’s judgment day coincides with the nation’s 250-year Plutonian return to determine how the nation has lived up to its constitutional promise. Pluto has brought about The New Era for the United States and the world.

The New Era

As of December 21, 2020, a new way of leading was initiated by the cosmos to open the energy of the future for inclusion, freedom, and innovation. This new way enables the softer skills of the feminine to combine with the logical strengths of the masculine. This new way of leading enhances the possibilities of success.

For the United States, blending diplomacy with force, democracy with leadership, powerful positions with laws, and individual rights with institutional laws is an example of the balancing of softer skills with core strengths.

Waves of the New Era

The next handful of years are fraught with chaos and uncertainty to break down the old institutional traditions that no longer work and create new customs and approaches.

Interpreting the stars of the United States for each of the four first-term years for the eventual 47th President helps determine how this president will fare in their official capacity. The nation is going through a rendering of its constitution, so these years are fraught with tension and potential conflict.

Prior Waves

The last 15 years have been filled with increasing pressure to destabilize the foundations of government, financial systems, and individual rights. A brief walk down memory lane highlights the most impactful events:

• Barack Obama Elected 44th President, 2008 (Re-elected, 2012)
• Global Financial Crisis, 2008-2009
• Landmark Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United v. FEC, 2010
• Midterm elections & rise of Tea Party, 2010
• Supreme Court guts Voting Rights Act, Shelby v. Holder, 2013
• Police kill Michael Brown in St. Louis, leading to Black Lives Matter movement, 2014
• Obergefell v. Hodges, 2015 (LGBTQ+ marriage nationally recognized)
• Trump announces run for president, vows to ‘Make America Great Again’, 2015
• Donald Trump Elected 45th President, 2016
• #MeToo movement, 2018
• Trump impeached, 2019
• Joe Biden Elected 46th President, 2020
• Jan. 6th Insurrection at U.S. Capitol, 2021
• COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020-2021
• Trump impeached for inciting Capitol riot, 2021
• Juneteenth declared Federal holiday, 2021
• Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade abortion protections in Dobbs v. Jackson, 2022
• Trump indicted, 2023
• Supreme Court grants presidential immunity, Trump v. United States, 2024
• Biden withdraws from election, 2024
• Harris becomes Democratic candidate, 2024

Knowing the cosmic activity for these prior events isn’t as necessary as looking toward the future for how the New Era unfolds in this country. Let’s look through the entire first term from January 2025 to January 2029.

2025: Wave of the Disruptors

2025 is fiery and, on the heels of the Inauguration of the 47th President, signifies tangible change. Everything feels novel at this time. The nation is under the influence of the cosmos, so the meaning of the key star dates matters.

Regarding the New Era, 2025 is the Year of Disruption, as structures are going to be dismantled to be rebuilt under the influence of the constitutional promise of equality, freedom, and the individual rights of a life well-lived.

Key Star Dates:

• Karmic destiny shift January 12, 2025
• Neptune enters Aries March 30, 2025
• Saturn enters Aries May 25, 2025
• Uranus enters Gemini July 7, 2025
• Neptune sextile Uranus August 28 & November 20, 2025

Karmic Destiny

The karmic destiny shift moves from the initiation of the New Era into the experience of the New Era. For the last few years, the karmic destiny was tied to the higher and lower expressions of the masculine and feminine.

The higher expression of the masculine is courageous, bold, and filled with active leadership; while its lower expression is aggressive, angry, and disingenuous in its leadership. The higher expression of the feminine is diplomatic, committed, and in full ownership of its value and the lower expression is needy, fickle, and constantly seeking validation.

Going forward, the karmic destiny of the New Era is its living experience of it, practically and esoterically. The higher expression of the esoteric experience is soulful, caring, and buoyant; while the lower expression is insensitive, escapist, and victimized. The higher expression of the practical experience is embodied, calm, and liberated and the lower expression is critical, anxious, and subjugated.

Both ends of the spectrum are available for the entire year of 2025 and half of the year 2026.

Wakeup Call

Neptune and Saturn move into Aries, sparking a huge wakeup call to remove rose-colored glasses and create practical applications to universal drives. These combined energies are available for the next 3 years, most intensely in 2025.

In March and May, waves of people will awaken to see things clearly and to think and act for themselves. The ability to hide, escape, or fool oneself is much more difficult now than it has been for the last decade.

In the 2nd quarter of 2025, people will suddenly look around and see their world for what it is. If they’re mature and responsible, they’ll have the fortitude to make the changes to live the life they’ve dreamed. If they continue to blame others, they’ll lash out and take their grievances out on others.

Because the fiery energy of Aries is full of action, ambition, and passion. Many changes are on the horizon, individually and collectively.

Massive Change

In July, there’s a lightning bolt of energy, creating shock and awe to open people’s minds and to appreciate different perspectives. This is a jolt for radical change striving for the ideal. The future opens widely, either for the freedom seeker or the revolutionary.

The unexpected, fast-paced energy brings boundless opportunity and innovation but can be disorienting with its frenetic speed. Seeking change without purpose, squandering resources through disorganization, and failure to commit are some of the downsides of this star configuration.

Dismantling structures, moving borders, and shifting modes of transportation are a few of the matters up for modification. This cuspy energy in 2025 is amplified due to its novelty but becomes familiar over the next few years. This energy gets ramped up again between 2029 – 2031 when the collective karmic destiny is under this same force.

Spiritual Awakening

In August and November, the stars catalyze spirituality through its 7-year acceleration from 2022 – 2029. There are practical applications and realistic expectations throughout this year creating the opportunity to develop spiritual routines and practices that bring you closer to connecting with your intuition and the universal energies.

Philosophy about the meaning of life and the combination of science and art are at an all-time high. Forces for creativity, unity, and humanity serve in the pursuit of these ideals. Shock and awe create unexpected shifts. The last time these stars were in this configuration was from 1966 – 1968.

In 2025, the zodiac signs of Aries and Gemini push for idealistic actions, spiritually-minded, and changing perspectives. Aries strives for individual rights in pioneering and warrior-like ways. Practically, Gemini drives travel, communication, learning, teaching, and everything business.

In 1966 – 1968, the zodiac signs of Scorpio and Virgo pressed for women’s power and fair working conditions. Healing the taboos of sex, drugs, and rock and roll was the norm at this time.

United States 2025

Summary:

Referring to the star chart of the United States, its innermost depths are awakened and brought to the surface. Having the courage to uphold the deep-seated principles of independence, freedom of self-expression, and manifesting its dreams is under the magnifying glass. There’s urgency and impatience for pioneering into new realms.

There are multiple pulses for this awakening that push for bravery and diplomacy, force and democracy, and women and men in equal but opposing ways. The key is to appreciate the differing points of view and integrate them, not separate them further.

The power to heal through this awakening requires individual bravery. When people stand up for their rights in powerful, yet non-threatening ways, the nation heals its wounding around inequality and exclusion. Representing both individual and national freedoms is the best path forward.

There are many adjustments for women in the country. Whether they are good or bad depends on your point of view. The future pushes for freedom, originality, and genius when it comes to women’s rights and the independence of their bodies. The powerful impact of women serves to create a different way of leadership.

Unions are on the rise, as is the middle class. Rebuilding the core for equal rights between workers and leaders, women and men, and Democratic and Republican creates powerful energy to revitalize the nation’s standing in the world. Cross-cultural pursuits, international trade, and giving voice to the underprivileged renew normal channels of common ground for the country.

Financial standing is one of the ways healing can happen. Understanding the true value of craftsmanship, lineage, and workers’ rights increases the value creation possible for the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP).

The service industries of housing, food, finance, nursing, and hospitals can change for the better. Careers in financial planning, real estate, holistic health, childcare, and therapy grow in unprecedented ways.

The karmic destiny of the nation is met with dissolution and deception in the middle of the year. The practical methods for workers, service industries, and women’s rights are muted, with people being persuaded positive results aren’t possible. The ideals are pressed with realistic expectations, making solutions seem improbable. The urgency dissipates, mitigating the energy behind these efforts.

Overall, there are supportive energies for positive changes to uphold the promise of the US Constitution.

2026: Wave of the Awakeners

The wakeup call of 2025 brings disruption, and in 2026 the awakening ignites massive efforts in every area of life. The theme of 2026 is Opportunity through the awakening, and the oracle card is Prosper. With opportunity comes maturity to take responsibility for these opportunities to create a ripple effect for positive change.

The flow of prosperity expands to the edges to reach those most in need while satiating everyone in between. Prosperity and opportunity appear to be positive on the surface. Let’s dive into the energies beneath these themes to get the real story.

Key Star Dates:

• Aries Saturn conjunct Neptune February 20, 2026
• Gemini Uranus sextile Aries Neptune July 25, 2026
• Gemini Uranus trine Aquarius Pluto July 18 & November 29, 2026
• Karmic destiny shift July 28, 2026

Origin Point of the World

When Saturn and Neptune meet on February 20, 2026 in Aries at 0°, it’s the origin point of the world. In Aries, the breaking down and building up energies will be in pioneering efforts. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, so it sparks everything new. The New Era is here. New technologies, new modes, and new realms are possible. Pioneering warriors could become relevant at this time.

To find out more about the New Era, check out the series right here.

The last time these two planets met was in 1989 in the sign of Capricorn. Both are cardinal signs, so they represent new beginnings. In 1989, government, financial institutions, and leadership were built up and broken down. The Berlin Wall fell, leading to the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and democratic protests in Tiananmen Square rattled the core of the established Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Quest for Freedom

Reforming forces breakthrough for the potential of freedom, equality, and justice. Traditions are meant to be broken and rules don’t have to be restraining. Expectations to express your individuality and uniqueness become the norm.

Power wants to be fluid as it’s meant to be without being restrained or amassed. The future outlook is positive with optimistic thoughts and fresh perspectives. Originality for brilliant ideas creates scientific inventions, experimental medicines, and genius innovations in every field.

Efforts to unite people involve protests, activism, and advocacy. The rise of these activities infuses itself into the fabric of society. It’s a time of increased public forums, hopefully in peaceful negotiations and not aggressive posturing. This is a supportive energy, so positive outcomes arise.

The initiation of this cycle occurred in 1966 with the effects felt most acutely from 1962 – 1968.

If you think back to the 1960s, the major events marked by this cycle involve:

• Cuban Missile Crisis, 1962
• Assassinations of key national figures (John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Kennedy, Malcolm X)
• Civil Rights Movement
• Bay of Pigs Invasion, 1961
• Vietnam War and anti-War protests
• Space Race and First Moon Landing, 1960s & 1969
• FDA Approves Birth Control Pill, 1960

Spiritual Awakening

Another wave of spiritual awakening brings a renewed push for holistic wellness, divination system exploration, vibrational healing, and appreciation for the earthly and cosmic cycles. The industries for these endeavors increase exponentially.

Structured religion and dogmatic approaches to the meaning of life fracture. Mass consciousness seeks answers that fundamental ideologies can’t explain. Quantum physics meets spirituality, art meets science, and the unknown and the known merge for the expression of wholeness.

Karmic Destiny

In July, the karmic destiny shifts from the ways of experiencing life to modes of expressing it. Organic grassroots humanity at large is the destiny of the world once again, releasing chokeholds on disingenuous leadership, autocracy, and narcissistic tendencies.

The future yearns to strive for freedom, equity, and humanitarianism involving intelligent innovations and continued awakening. Healing separatist, revolutionary, and vigilante methods are required.

Overcoming selfish, arrogant, and domineering influences resolves the pressures from the top of the leadership hierarchy. Authenticity, generosity, and honest expression widen the possibility for positive change.

United States 2026

Summary:

Once again, the pressure on the United States to awaken to its constitutional promise is the overriding energy of the year for the country. Freedom of expression and the inalienable rights of every citizen need to be pursued with valor. When responsibility is accepted with maturity, positive change ensues.

There’s a set-up of star energy known as the magic triangle that provides constructive power for the rights of workers and the middle class. Opening hearts and minds to the plight of the working class also gains attention to better allocate resources and income.

Embracing the marginalized and giving hope for the future of inclusion and equity transforms the way the justice system works. Revamping the entire structure is necessary. No half-measures will do. The question is, Does the country have the bravery for wide-sweeping logical change?

Pursuing unity for the greater good is possible through spiritual pursuits. Healing comes from deep transformation. The wealth of the nation comes from political leaders who command integrity, honesty, and authenticity.

Powerful leadership reorients the world to widen its acceptance of others who are different or formerly alienated. Outsiders find a home in other countries. Borders dissolve with migration due to climate change. These earthly changes allow for the merging of cultures and international connections.

Technology, travel, and communication innovate in new ways. The pace of invention accelerates to a dizzying speed.

2027: Wave of the Masses

2027 is known as a Year of Success as long as the masses awaken to the New Era of inclusion, freedom, and innovation. This is a clear-minded, open-hearted, soul driven energy. The influential forces shift from aggression to acceptance and from the pursuit of success to the pursuit of the soul. This doesn’t happen overnight, but the dial turns with more and more people coming on board for the assembly of unity and connection.

Key Star Dates:

• Aries Neptune sextile Gemini Uranus January 15 & June 6, 2027
• Aquarius Pluto trine Gemini Uranus June 15, 2027

Practical Handoff

Saturn moves beyond the Neptunian influence. The constant building up and breaking down of boundaries, structures, and norms gets relief. Unfortunately, it also permits us to stop the pursuit of change. The good news? Jupiter takes the reins of practicality in July, so the practical realities for change get a boost for success with the good luck influences of Jupiter. Things don’t feel so constrained or delayed. Change can happen more easily now.

Quest for Freedom

Resolving the political changes from 2012 – 2015, the quest for freedom gets another burst throughout the year. Enjoying life to the fullest is the best possible outcome. Entitlement and privilege are pressured to flatten out to create more opportunities across the societal strata.

Traditions, legalities, and niceties extend beyond their boundaries. This doesn’t mean rules are thrown out. It means they can be resolved through sweeping change. Reforming within the systems happens unless change can’t happen within constrictive guidelines. Thinking outside the box for innovative resolution is key.

Brainstorming with various stakeholders’ results in creative solutions never before ideated. Having the courage to implement untried solutions gives hope and opportunity where none existed before this time.

Spiritual Awakening

Spirituality continues to make headlines due to being an overriding influence for the year. Connection breeds unity within the inner life and outer world as well as across cultures, philosophies, and beliefs.

The revolution of the 1960’s reaches its full potential now. The last vestiges of oppression, entitlement, and power grabs can be overcome with courage and resolution for the healing for the greater good.

Dissolving borders in every way is finally possible, whether they be geographic, religious, or economic. It requires working together, expanding perspectives, and accepting outlying people, situations, and ideas.

United States 2027

Summary:

Awakening the soul of the nation is still deep in the minds of its citizens. Brave actions and powerful forces serve to bring about the change needed at all levels of government and its supporting institutions.

The pressure mounts on America’s soul karma of alienation and its inability to achieve the promise of inclusion, freedom, and innovation. Tearing down the obstacles and removing the blocks to heal the nation’s karma involves humanitarian efforts, grassroots campaigns, and local organic measures. Building up across boundaries requires honest leadership willing to be vulnerable to its failings to resolve them.

Revolutionaries are geniuses when they bring about the changes that resolve the needs of the greater good. They become vigilantes when they defy the needs of the whole in the pursuit of their own needs.

There’s the chance to transform the nation completely by taking huge risks to resolve differences, either internal or external.

This star configuration brought about the beginning of the end of World War II with the D-Day Invasion of Normandy in 1944. It overlooked the American Civil War in the 1860s. It was even present in the sky during our nation’s origin point, smiling down on the founding fathers as they put pen to paper and signed the Declaration of Independence.

What war will the nation be willing to fight for itself? Will it be willing to risk everything to achieve its soul destiny? Ideals can be hard won or they can further destabilize the tenets this country holds dear. The fabric of the nation is at stake and the stars are conspiring to weave it together.

During 2027, confusion, deception, and delusion vie for the collective pursuit regarding leadership and the future of freedom and inclusion. The pressure to make it real across cultures and philosophical differences gets blurred. Lower energy and lethargy make people step away from change affecting the greater good.

2028 may hold the key to this claim for the future.

2028

In 2028, Uranus’ power is supportive without excitement from Neptune, so the spiritual awakening energy dissipates and the thirst for change focuses on reformation. The Theme of the Year is Open – to stay open to the possibilities.

For the United States, this is a different story. The world gets relief, but the country does not.

Key Star Dates:

• Aquarius Pluto trine Gemini Uranus January 13 & May 9, 2028
• Karmic destiny shift March 27, 2028
• Aries Neptune sextile Aquarius Pluto June 9, 2028
• Taurus Saturn square Aquarius Pluto June 23 & November 15, 2028 (last time 2009 – 2010)

The collective soul destiny shifts again into the pursuit of responsibility, integrity and stewardship of its leaders. While healing can provide support, protection, and a deepening into the roots of history, the tendencies of isolation and defensiveness breed overwork and stoicism.

Pioneering Spirit

This energy has been in the world since 1950 and will continue until 2035 coming to exact aspects this year and again in 2029. Challenging the status quo and bringing about change overtakes the spirit of every person alive. Think about it, everyone under the age of 78 years old, as of 2028, has this configuration on their individual star charts.

Deconstructing every belief regarding politics, religions, cultures or genders is in vogue. Healing bias, inspiring honesty, and advancing transformative agendas are the nature of this work. The higher expression involves living up to the fullest potential of humanity and connecting intuitively to the heart and soul to regenerate human consciousness. The lower expression includes addiction, delusion, and unadulterated greed.

Future Outlook

The quest for freedom requires increased responsibility. Reformation is an individual pursuit for the greater good. Each individual striving to ensure their inalienable rights does better when also striving for the rights of others.

The future offers assurance to live your life without hindering interference from outdated rules and traditions. However, institutions must also keep the masses from anarchy, so reformation must include workable structures.

Structural Change

Shaping the fate of the world feels good until roadblocks, delays, and limits are thrown in the way. Prioritizing what needs to change and what’s beyond your control is imperative to achieve the desired change.

Changes for the better are supported. However, change for change’s sake is blocked to reorganize your intentions. Being flexible and reducing the urge to control things that are beyond your ability to control are the keys to prioritizing the right structures to implement.

The costs are high because the resulting rewards are also high. The higher the results, the higher the efforts required to bring them to fruition. Systematizing transformation requires realistic implementations, prioritized resources, and smart investments to turn ideas into reality. This reality hits hard.

United States 2028

Summary:

It’s been 4 years without any relief for America wrangling with the constitutional promises of equity, freedom, and inclusion. This year is no different. The intensity continues. In some ways, it amplifies.

There are big shifts to transform leadership to make it more supportive of workers, unions, and the middle class. Leaders are threading the needle to position themselves in strength and bravery while also demonstrating vulnerability and authenticity to embrace empathy and inclusion.

Additionally, there’s intense pressure on America’s leaders to invoke genius solutions to heal the land and deal with climate change. The leaders are grappling with fierce courage that can spark either peaceful forces for change or all-out rebellion. The difference lies in the possibilities available as outcomes. If there are no positive outcomes possible then rebellion wins.

Rebellious aggression and a leaning toward violence are in the air to create equal civil rights regardless of gender, race, or religion. These two big problems appear to have competing priorities, but they both need to be solved.

The Founding Fathers set up the country with intentionality and the stars supported their measures. With America’s Sun in Cancer and its deepest wound in Capricorn, the nation’s karma involves creating value and worth for all of its citizenry while protecting those in need.

The key is for ‘We the People’ to strive for maturity through responsibility and integrity. Healing the national karma involves healing the greed, exclusion, and entitlement it was built upon. Every layer of leadership must shrug off the temptation for its own privilege without forgoing its rightful stature. True leadership is at stake.

The soul of the nation doesn’t require people to give up what they’ve worked for and rightfully earned. This isn’t about the redistribution of wealth, it’s about creating opportunity for those who aren’t able to create it for themselves. These opportunities still require effort and hard work. Successful actions reward the brave.

The genius for America lies in admitting what’s working and leaving it in place, and more appropriately, admitting what isn’t working and fixing it. These fixes involve transformation at the deepest level. Change is rife with challenges.

America has a history of being able to deal with difficulties with bravery and intelligence. Hopefully, this trend of success continues during this critical time.

January 2029

Believe it or not, the following Inauguration Day occurs on January 20, 2029. It’s tempting to ignore the next presidential election when the 2024 election hasn’t been completed yet. However, the next four years turn up the pressure without relenting. The nation’s deepest wounds, its karma and destiny as well as its very soul are up for review.

The changing landscape involves taking big risks and huge leaps of faith. America’s leaders are being asked to juggle massive domestic change while maintaining its international superpower status.

Making difficult choices and prioritizing resources make difficult problems harder to resolve. Staying flexible and working for the greater good supports positive change.

Key Star Dates:

• Saturn square Pluto November 1, 2029
• Aries Neptune sextile Aquarius Pluto May 22 & November 30, 2029
• Karmic destiny shift September 24, 2029 (same energy as Uranus)

The grand vision of the United States is possible when the leaders work for ‘We the People’. The Founding Fathers comprised the Constitution to uphold the promise of freedom, inclusion, and equity. 250 years later, these promises are under review to see how the country has upheld its end of the deal.

The next few presidential terms are going to be hard won and hard fought. The United States has the opportunity to resolve the fissures tearing the fabric of the nation. High risks offer high rewards and as usual with the United States, fortune favors the brave.

Conclusion

The New Era is here.

The Waves of the New Era come one on top of the other for the next handful of years. Each year creates energy for visionary leaders, disruptors, awakeners, and finally, the masses.

It’s especially pertinent for the United States and every one of its citizens as the country’s karmic destiny and its deepest wounding is exactly pressed during these waves. The New Era for the nation matches the New Era for the world. America has a chance to represent this time as a symbol of the intentions of freedom, inclusion, and innovations with the additional nation’s influence for equity, rights, and justice.

It’s a good time to be a soul. Happy soul tidings.

Thank you for reading and sharing with friends.

As always, wishing you joy,

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

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.

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.

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.)

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,
