In order to utilize these powers, let’s discover each part of the seasonal energy:

  1. Meaning of the Seasons
  2. Seasonal Flow
  3. Using Seasonal Elements

The seasons present energies to work with and these involve:

I. Season of potential

Seasonal Meaning

Months: November, December, January
Astrological signs: Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn
Earthly Element: Earth
Apex: Solstice
Northern Gateway: Samhain
Affinity: Feminine Energy
Impact: Inner Life

The stillness of the season welcomes potential for all of your dreams. Go inward to reflect on what you desire most. Let your mind wander and imagine. Plant seeds in the fertile soil of endless possibility. This is primarily a yin, reflective time, however, using your yang tendencies expands your potential as you actively pursue the unfamiliar by asking questions, letting your mind wonder and exploring your edges.

This is primarily a feminine expression with its inner life exploration. Think of words such as; opening, deepening, gathering, strategy, intentions, themes, milestones.

Magically, this season offers deep intuitive connection enhancing your ability to commune with your inner voice and the universal energy. Practically, this is the perfect time to set strategy, determine your annual word, themes and intentions as well as to anchor your pillars and milestones for high level navigation through the year.

Seasonal Flow

The Seasons are a beautiful wheel spinning and moving into and out of each other. The seasonal cycle begins with the Season of Potential that invades your soul as the thinnest veil between the known and the unknown permeates your being. The magical world communes with you in ways it doesn’t any other time of year.

When you’re observant and lean into your perceptive insights, you access your intuitive knowing and internal compass to give you an inward approach to your best path forward. In business, this time is called strategy. In magic, it’s named soul mission.

Using Season of Potential for Success

Season of Potential is the quietest season that stabilizes itself with the earth element. It also relies on ether, so it’s a yin energy that’s expansive into both the known (earthy) realms and the unknown (ether) realms. The key to this season is to recognize that both the yin power of strategy and the yang power of direction create your best strategic plan.

Open to your full potential through your Intuitive Success Signature. If you haven’t taken the 12-question quiz to discover your energetic entry into the world, take it here.

Intuitive Success Signatures Tools for Potential

Wise Strategist

This isn’t your favorite time other than using the season to position your strategic direction. You readily embrace the strategy setting, but the yin influence benefits you when you open up to possibility. Take moments throughout the season to reflect and journal your innermost thoughts and deepest desires. Let these guide your strategy for the year.

Intuitive Visionary

Use the thin veil between the worlds at the beginning of the season to explore your soul voice and find your inner compass. Connect to your intuition and ask for guidance on your best energy, theme, word and intentions for the year. Let your inner voice dictate how to fulfill your highest potential.

Collaborative Explorer

Know your trajectory starts with you. Use the element of earth to stabilize your footing to set your strategy for the year by reviewing how you’ve tracked against your goals for the current year. See where you’ve come strongly ahead and look where you haven’t attained them. Select those that truly matter to you to set your strategy for the coming year.

Ruling Warrior

You love this time of year because you get to review where you stand. Look at your baseline for revenues, expenses and profits as well as your schedule to determine how to set your strategy for the next year. Remember to fold your resources, energy and passions into your plans.

Creative Superstar

Take the extra time available to be creative with the magical energies and holiday schedules. Relish these open hearted and intuitively guided and soul purposed influences. Let your imagination run wild. Dream your biggest dreams, embrace your greatest desires and pursue your deepest passions. Gather your reflections and use them to create the best version of yourself in the coming year.

Loving Alchemist

This is your favorite season. Make time to commune with yourself. Seriously craft a schedule through this season carving out time to reflect, to journal and to savor your heart and soul. Contemplate, ponder, marinate your value, power and version of success. If you want to get even more out of the season, dive deeply into your darkest places to discover hidden treasure.

Case Study for Potential
Before

A Sales Catalyst, who is an Intuitive Visionary, was dealing with tremendous pressure in her personal life, so had expanded her business support to continue her business in her absence.

This was logical, but the support was acquired without clear direction, measures or metrics.

It was confusing because the results were being obfuscated and the potential was there and always ‘just out of reach’.

This misalignment was driving her business in different ways and was, in fact, blocking her success.

After

First, we opened her to her full potential to realize she’s a paradigm shifter. Yet, her ability to make the desired change-making impact required definition and energetic alignment with her true life purpose. This required her to be able to receive the support to realize her mission in life.

Second, we identified the ways she wasn’t purposefully receiving support that had her best interests at heart. We removed blocks to her ability to receive and amplified her alignment with her purpose.

Third, we created the right scenario to separate from her acquired support by illustrating how opportunistic modes opened purposeful pathways to success.

Bottom line: Since the acquired separation, she’s grown her business 300% in the last few months.

II. Season of purpose

Seasonal Meaning

Months: February, March, April
Astrological signs: Aquarius, Pisces, Aries
Earthly Element: Air
Apex: Equinox
Northern Gateway: Imbolc
Affinity: Male expression
Impact: Intentional planning

The quickening of the energies ignites the divine spark to create in a purposeful union of possibility and planning. Set your strategy and be mindful to create your satisfying success. This is primarily a yang, focused time, but leaning into the yin, strategic view point, wise prospective and intentional outlay of energy boosts your desired growth.

This is primarily a masculine time of strength to use your logic and purposeful planning skills. The season of purpose adores the linear processing, reasoning and scheduling aspects to get everything on the calendar to achieve the goals outlined in the strategy from the season of potential.

Magically, relax into the air element to learn to go with the flow, be flexible and stay in balance with the natural contracting and expanding influences of life. Change your mind, shift your perspective and see things fully. You can open your intuitive knowing through observation and perception for your best first steps.

Practically, align your schedule with the seasons and calendar with the cosmos. Infuse your goals and targets into your overall strategy. Set up your reports – financial, operational and marketing – to determine your capacity and resource needs. Begin to attract the right people into your world.

Seasonal Flow

The Season of Potential becomes thoughtful and intentional as it moves into the Season of Purpose, where you put pen to paper, details to strategy and goals to ideas. Your yang skills are called for as you bring the inspiring thoughts and ideas into being. Making it real is your mantra. The pushing wheel of energy runs thin as you take out the magic and fill everything with the practical.

Using the Season of Purpose for Success

Each season has a primary element you can leverage to get things accomplished throughout the year.

Season of Purpose relies on the air element for planning and defining your initial strategy. The air element speaks to your mind to foster a left-brain response to the dreamy aspect of establishing your vision for the year. Determining goals, setting targets and outlining objectives is an excellent response to this season. Setting your calendar for collaborations is a requirement to fully grow your business.

Intuitive Success Signatures Tools for Purpose

Wise Strategist

This is your favorite season. Let your natural gifts, talents and skills to come to the fore. Taking your strategy and setting all the goals, targets, objectives and schedules comes naturally to you. Take the lead to convey the high-level pillars and milestones to your team. Inspire others to help you.

Intuitive Visionary

You’re challenged to stay on track and be detail-oriented. You have much more success thinking in big picture terms. Yet, you actually can fold the details into your overall strategy when you stay in touch with WHY you’re dealing with those pesky particulars. Remembering your why is the key.

Collaborative Explorer

Make a list of your key resources, networking buddies, collaborators, prospects, clients and alumni to identify your key opportunities and required support. Set up processes and scripts for outreach. Reach out to a handful of people every week. Keep on a regular schedule and remember to ask for the support and opportunities you desire.

Ruling Warrior

You love this season as everyone becomes goal-oriented and you can easily relate to them. You’ve set it all up to make this your best year ever. Yet, you need support to help you achieve them without overwork, exhaustion and stress. Take the time to actually communicate your goals, targets and objectives to others to get them on board.

Creative Superstar

This is your worst season when you focus on the planning aspects of it, but this season, with its airy flow, can be an excellent one when you pay attention to the creation aspects of it. Use the movement and flow to create a living vision board to bring your goals into fruition.

Loving Alchemist

Energize your strategy with your powerful passions and deep desires. Add fuel when marking your calendar for events, selecting people to support you or carving out time to seek opportunities. Aligning your heart and soul with your mindful intentions provides the foundation to make this year the one you truly love.

Case Study for Purpose
Before

A landscape designer, who is a Collaborative Explorer, was working for a company that was growing, but not demonstrating solid leadership. He was frustrated, making too little money and working too many hours. He had responsibility without authority.

He wanted to start his own company, but due to his experiences in the field, he didn’t want to employ anyone.

He basically wanted to get relief without actually thinking about how starting a company would affect him and his family.

He had no clear direction other than getting out of his current situation. He actually quit his job, without any opportunities lined up, at the worst possible time in the season.

After

First, I walked into his stars and conveyed his life purpose that 100% involved leadership. There was no getting around it, his soul wanted him to be a leader.

Second, we removed his inability to wear his power in order to align his energy with his life purpose.

Third, we defined his purposeful strategic direction and gave him all of the tools to become a successful entrepreneur.

Fourth, because of his hesitancy to become a leader, we set up a business model that could delay this possibility as long as it took to remove his block.

Fifth, we removed his leadership block(s) to clear his pathway for success.

Bottom line: He blew away his targets in the first year and doubled his business in the second year. He’s increased his revenues by 567%.

III. Season of power

Seasonal Meaning

Months: May, June, July
Astrological signs: Taurus, Gemini, Cancer
Earthly Element: Fire
Apex: Solstice
Northern Gateway: Beltane
Affinity: Male expression
Impact: Powerful authority

Your growth is evident in the world. The power you express makes an impact to all who come into your sphere of influence. This is a fiery yang time that requires you to push beyond yourself and your intimate circles. This is an outward, expansive and visible season. It’s about connections, outreach and sales first and foremost. This is the time for you to show up, early and often, so respecting your natural tendencies is imperative. You want to be wary of burning through your energy, commitment and resources. Honor your yin side by taking breaks, vacations and spending time in relaxation.

This is primarily a masculine expression with its fiery core. Energizing your core power involves fortifying your strength, fueling your passion and adding motivation to attract those in your niche. Folding the feminine energy around this fire turns up the volume to create big impact.

Magically, clear your mind and open your heart to create energy to bring people into your sphere who align with you. Your internal power speaks volumes and the trick is to send out the signals to attract those into your world.

Practically, expand your energies to reach out to those who can help you through support or opportunities. Network, introduce, connect and refer are your activities during this season.

Seasonal Flow

The Season of Power saves you from yourself and this power-filled fiery energy infuses magic through connective webbing. You shine. You bask. You create bounty through your brilliance, your visibility and your connections. Having witness to your offerings breathes in new life and new energy. The sharing of them creates something different from what you originally thought. Staying open to the magical flow of power and its fluidity is critical to be sustainable.

Using the Season of Power for Success

Each season has a primary element you can leverage to get things accomplished throughout the year.

Season of Power uses fire to create the largest expansion in energies at the apex of the year with the solstice in June. Fire is inspirational to generate momentum to ensure the strategy that was set in the prior season is fulfilled. This is an excellent season to connect with others, flex your genius and create your platforms or stages. This is a great time for speaking, selling experiences and launching series to highlight your gifts.

Intuitive Success Signatures Tools for Power

Wise Strategist

Wrapping yourself with power helps you stay open when you’re networking and having conversations that are unpredictable but important. Your mind tends to focus solely on the transactional aspect of the outreach, thereby limiting the possibilities. Keeping an open mind benefits your ability to achieve your goal of making big impact.

Intuitive Visionary

You embrace the power available this season and love the idea of making big impact. The fire keeps you grounded yet in the flow. Take the power into the rooms with you when you speak to stay focused on your call to action. Plan on many speaking engagements this season to cultivate a stronger following.

Collaborative Explorer

You love the connective tissue in the energy this season. This is your time to connect, network and engage. During the Season of Purpose, plan on inviting people to your stage, podcast or group to guide them on how collaboration really works. Stepping into the leadership role bolsters your client roster.

Ruling Warrior

Your power aligns with the power of the season, so the rhythm and tempo serves to expand your authority to deepen your engagement in your field and perhaps to expand it. You want to infuse power into your conversations to induce them to further their connection with you. Use your powerful sales skills to further relationships, instead of just making sales. This isn’t a transactional time, it’s a relational one.

Creative Superstar

The fire in the energy fuels your creativity, so you can be excited about the creativity, ideas and solutions ripe for the plucking. You can derive a complete process for getting your designs into the world. Following your heart, telling your story, giving behind the scenes peeks stir your following. Remember to invite and offer with clear calls to action to generate abundance exchange for your creations.

Loving Alchemist

You are power personified, so this season has your name on it. Enjoy your power to the fullest by showing up for yourself on stages that put you front and center. Speak your truth, deeply connect to others and host parties in business and in life to share your glorious power.

Case Study for Power
Before

A leadership consultant, who is a Wise Strategist, was limiting her impact because she was tied up in others’ definition and models for success. She was trying to put herself into a box that wasn’t hers. She let her mind lead in every decision without opening to her intuition or power.

She was trying to prove herself, so attached herself to outcomes and results. She was spending too much time and effort without realizing her power and worth. She was actually minimizing her impact and was unhappy with the way she worked and how it adversely affected her personal life.

After

First, we shed her attachment to other’s models and definitions of success.

Second, we turned her business model on its side and increased her capacity to make impact 100-fold.

Third, we worked to clear her mind and open her heart, so she began to realize her true power and ability for impact. She realized she didn’t need to prove herself, so she showed up without an agenda to impart her expertise to her clients. With all of the positive feedback, she completely opened to her power.

Bottom line: She’s attracting unbelievable opportunities with Fortune 50 clients and achieving never-before-seen results.

IV. Season of prosperity

Seasonal Meaning

Months: August, September, October
Astrological signs: Leo, Virgo, Libra
Earthly Element: Water
Apex: Equinox
Northern Gateway: Llamas
Affinity: Feminine energy
Impact: Harvest Bounty

It’s the time of harvest to gain the bounty of your careful planning and powerful influence. Reap your rewards and let go of expectation 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.

This is primarily a feminine energy. Prosperity is a flow that involves giving and receiving and accordingly, this force involves reciprocity and synchronicity. Being in the flow requires a clear mind, open heart and active will. Embracing your full potential, aligning with your true purpose and owning your power increases your prosperity flow.

Magically, use crystals such as goldstone, citrine, aventurine, amethyst and pyrite and set up either a money bowl, profit plate or wealth vase. Use the cycles of the Moon to set intentions, fuel your energies and manifest your true desires.

Practically, wear your value – feel it rolling around in your mouth, speak it loudly and with authority and use this ownership to attract your soul mate clients.

Seasonal Flow

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 lane, you have a role that’s defined and within these parameters, you harvest to receive abundance for your value and efforts.

Using the Season of Prosperity for Success

Each season has a primary element you can leverage to get things accomplished throughout the year.

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 the 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.

Intuitive Success Signatures Tools for Prosperity

Wise Strategist

You want to lean into the practical and evidentiary aspects of prosperity. You love to set your goals, review your finances and track your profits. However, the open-ended possibility of growth disorients your linear focus. Allow yourself to appreciate growth and all of its unpredictability.

Intuitive Visionary

You absolutely love prosperity and this season is your favorite. You align with the flow of giving and receiving with all of its variety and unexpected surprises. Step into an authority position for prosperity. Relish the ability to spend an entire season in each of the phases of prosperity – appreciation, reverence and reciprocity. Practice each daily.

Collaborative Explorer

Prosperity does indeed align with your energy, yet you don’t recognize this truth. Review all of your prosperous ways. Show appreciation for the abundance in your life. Have reverence for the value you hold and share with others. You naturally demonstrate the giving side of reciprocity, but want to work on the receiving end.

Ruling Warrior

You love the money aspect of prosperity, but the flow doesn’t appeal to you. Yet, appreciating the reciprocity and synchronicity facets increases your money, abundance and prosperity. Recognizing the connections to each of these energies, increases all of them.

Creative Superstar

You don’t like talking about money, but you do love having it. When you shift your mindset to accept prosperity without thinking about money, you can step into the flow. Allow the reciprocity cycle to open you to yourself and your natural gifts and talents. When you do, you widen your receiving container. Showing up to receive nudges you to make offers and get people to work with you.

Loving Alchemist

You are great with prosperity, but don’t realize it as you repel money as much as you attract it. When you own your power, money recognizes you and comes to you easily. Reclaim your ability to create wealth and align your energy with that of money. Embrace your love for money and watch it grow in your life and business. “I love money and money loves me” is a living mantra for you.

Case Study for Prosperity
Before

A Loving Alchemist, who is a book coach, was not owning her power or her ability to make money using her gifts and talents.

We worked on reclaiming her power for her incredible ability to create clarity, hold space, and tease out her authors’ voices. Allowing her to realize the reciprocity and synchronicity of prosperity opened her to accepting abundance exchange.

Working together, she began to observe herself through the eyes of her clients. She got impactful feedback from her clients and had deep conversations with her followers.

After

First, she realized her true stories about holding back her power and how that affected her ability to own her gifts. She started owning her value.

Second, she revamped her pricing to align her value with her work. Accepting the full value for her gifts attracted the right people into her sphere of influence.

Third, we did the exercises and rituals that removed her blocks to money.

Fourth, she put herself in front of her followers and invited them to work with her.

Bottom line: She’s gotten 3X as many clients on the regular than she’s ever gotten at any time previously. She’s also delivered a podcast and is starting a new community.

Using the seasonal powers increases your chances for success. Take notes for your Intuitive Success Signatures for each season to amplify the energy you want to bring into your life and business.

You too can embrace your full potential to realize your life purpose, reclaim your power and increase your prosperity. Check out what everyone can easily fold into their schedule and payment capacity

Part 5. Cosmic Forces of First Term 2025 – 2029

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.

  • Gemini Uranus @ 8° conjunct Gemini Uranus in the 6th house

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,

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

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

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

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

The fight to the finish involves key dates:

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

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

2024 US Election Star Overview

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2024 US Election Star Analysis

1. Mars Opposition Pluto: Power versus Corruption

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

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

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

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

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

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

If you want to know how Mars affects you right now, read the article here or listen to the podcast here.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

3. Mercury’s Dance: Communication Overdrive

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

4. Nodal Change: Soul Destiny & Karma

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

State Electoral Voter Deadline: December 17, 2024

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

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

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

Astrological chart for December 17, 2024, 12:00 p.m. showing planetary positions in zodiac signs with aspects drawn as red, blue, and green lines. Sun is in Sagittarius, Moon in Virgo, and Ascendant in Aries.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

State Electoral Voter Deadline for Kamala Harris

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

State Electoral Voter Deadline for Donald Trump

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

January 2025: The Results (Hopefully)

Key January Stars:

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

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

Certification by Congress on January 6, 2025

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

Stars:

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

Astrological chart for January 6, 2025, 12:00 p.m. It shows planetary positions with red, blue, and green lines representing aspects. Sun is in Capricorn, Moon in Sagittarius, and Ascendant in Taurus.

Interpretation:

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

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

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

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

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

Kamala’s Stars on January 6, 2025

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Donald’s Stars on January 6

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

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

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

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

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

Inauguration Day on January 20, 2025

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

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

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

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

Stars:

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

Astrological chart for January 20, 2025, 12:00 p.m. It shows planetary positions with red, blue, and green lines representing aspects. Sun is in Aquarius, Moon in Pisces, and Ascendant in Taurus.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kamala’s Inauguration Stars

Stars:

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

Interpretation:

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

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

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

Donald’s Inauguration Stars

Stars:

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

Interpretation:

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

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

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

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

Bottom Line

Given the star configuration throughout this election season, I don’t anticipate a resolution without involving the courts. Predicting legal decisions is not possible based on the constrictive timelines of the election process. It’ll be interesting to observe how the courts become involved and whether they allow complaint filings to be heard. Rulings can go either way.

The stars have layers of complexity for each of the presidential candidates. Kamala’s stars are slightly more positive than Donald’s and could allow her to become Commander-in-Chief. This is not going to be an easy or comfortable process.

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

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

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

Thank you for reading and sharing with friends.

As always, wishing you joy,

Kim

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

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

Pluto enters Aquarius for its 20-year sojourn on November 19th, amid its opposing fight with Mars until April 2025. The US is in for a long drawn-out fight to the finish. In the 2024 election cycle, the US confronts its origins in a never-before and never-again-in-this-lifetime scenario.

Can the stars predict which party comes out on top? Does this fight affect the soul of the nation? What does the future of the U.S. hold after this tense affair?

USA Pluto Return

In February 2022, Pluto in Capricorn at 27° in the stars hits the country’s Pluto near exact at 27.33° on February 21st. That same week, Russia invaded Ukraine, pushing the democratic experience into an ongoing tailspin.

The Western world’s way of life is being attacked by forces yearning for its demise. The United States must question its role internationally, caught between continuing as the ‘world’s policeman’ or foregoing the title for a more isolationist posture. The fight for its place may not continue with open debate but perhaps with violence, threats, and wider conflict.

In part one of this special series on the US election, I wrote, “America’s soul destiny involves stepping into a leadership role on the world stage to build bridges and radiate confidence effectively. It requires finishing old business and avoiding being judgmental, dogmatic, and isolated.

Healing its ‘exile’ or ‘outsider’ energy, utilizing resources responsibly, and resolving the insecurities of its position in the world are required to fulfill the nation’s soul destiny.

Opening to the discomfort of the unknown and embracing complexity to transform like a phoenix is also critical. Rising from the ashes is familiar and America can recover from its recent erosion as a sole superpower. It is also a choice its citizens can decide.”

For a look at the entirety of the USA’s star chart and its mission in the world, read part 1 right here.

If the sovereign rights of nations and their citizens aren’t upheld, is there a democracy in the world worth standing? Given the two-party political system in the United States, how do these parties uphold or violate the founding constitution?

Looking at America’s chart on February 21, 2022 on its Pluto return adds more cosmic force to the pressure on the country.

Stars: Realizing other stars with the Pluto influence lends additional information, so let’s dive into the key star aspects:

  • Capricorn Pluto in the sky conjuncts USA Pluto at 27.33°
  • Aquarius Mercury at 6°conjuncts USA soul karma and opposes its soul destiny 7°
  • The collective soul destiny in Taurus 26° trines with the USA Capricorn Pluto 27°
  • The collective soul karma in Scorpio 26° excites with the USA Capricorn Pluto 27°
  • Venus and Mars in the sky conjunct in Capricorn at 19 and 20° respectively

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 of the nation’s rival political parties determines how the outcome shapes the country’s chance of realizing its mission.

At the time of writing, court decisions across the country rattle the sanctity of the election, slowing down vote counting and disenfranchising the democratic process.

Bringing peace to my readers’ minds is my goal, so looking at each party’s chances during the election process against the star chart of the United States can provide insight into the outcome.

There is no limit to the number of political parties that can contest American elections. Since 1860, however, just two major ones: the Democratic and Republican parties, have captured the presidency.

The outsider candidacy of Donald Trump in 2016 challenged this hierarchy. The Republican Party was wholly transformed and personally rebranded into one individual’s singular likeness. For this analysis, the ‘MAGA’ Party will be analyzed separately.

The ‘MAGA’ Party was created on June 16, 2015, in New York City when Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president. The Republican Party has all but been dismantled, taken over by the ‘MAGA’ party, as Donald Trump has elevated his ilk to the fore of the party at every level – county, state, and national.

The political parties star chart analysis involves 3 parties:

  • Democratic Party
  • Republican Party
  • ’MAGA’ Party (2015-)

Democratic Party Stars

The Democratic Party was born on January 8, 1828, in Portsmouth, NH. It is the world’s oldest political party. Its origins included a platform based on limited government, agrarianism, and workers’ rights.

 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 are:

  • Capricorn Sun at 17° conjunct Neptune at 15° opposing Cancer Saturn at 16°
  • Capricorn Uranus at 27° trine Taurus Moon at 28°
  • Scorpio Mars at 12° conjunct Jupiter 10°
  • Aquarius Venus squares Scorpio
  • Jupiter at 10°and Mars at 12°
  • Capricorn Mercury at 2° squares Aries Pluto at 4°

Sun & Moon

Sun: The Sun of the Democratic Party is in Capricorn at 17,° with Neptune only 2° away. Uranus is also prominent in the chart at 27°. The 2022 Plutonian return of the United States is in confrontation with the party.

The Capricorn characteristics of leadership, striving for the summit, and standing in positions of power are the core elements of the Democratic Party. However, the typical stoicism of Capricorn is softened by Neptune. Neptune adds a dissolution of the boundaries and always questioning its worth into the central mix of this party.

The Democrats add an opposition of practical reality to its central theme, as well as a desire to master its sense of belonging and connection. The roots of the party and the soul of the nation are the intentions of the Democrats.

Moon: The heart of the party involves the working population and embodies the desires of the common layperson. The center of the party is smoothed out when there are changes, original intentions, and strides toward the future.

Other Notable Qualities

Mission

The mission of the Democratic Party involves putting women front and center. When the leaders of this party make women feel included, equal, and a critical component to the success of this party’s mission, they create lasting success. The transformative approach is the right one.

In other words, the Democrats can’t step into the future without women at the helm. Women attract big groups and create wealth as well as success for this party.

Challenges

Democrats have trouble clarifying strong messages that resonate with the public. They’re great at negotiating but may give away too much to get what they want. Additionally, balancing the serious with the optimistic requires greater finesse and clarity from the top.

Bravery

Diving deeply into transformative measures brings good luck and success to the party. Bold and strong actions are the best strategy for the Democrats. Women are a key component of the party and part of its soul destiny.

Genius

Standing in their genius necessitates masterfully and sensitively aligning with the soul of the nation. When the Democrats stand beside America and its origins, the party’s brilliance becomes evident. Talking about roots, heritage, and moving forward without losing the founding fathers’ intentions makes the Democratic Party’s genius shine.

Soul Destiny

Deep, transformative healing with bold action and big leaps of faith comprise the party’s soul destiny. Women and their needs are a focal point of the Democratic Party’s soul purpose. This party’s karma involves avoiding complacency, rigidity, and holding on too tightly to being comfortable. Moving into the unknown and unfamiliar brings success.

Republican Party Stars

The Republican Party was born on October 12, 1853 in Exeter, New Hampshire. It began as a radical new idea by a coalition of Northern reformers who opposed the expansion of slavery.

Pisces Neptune in the sky passing the square off at 11° brought trouble in 2021, triggering Uranus in Taurus. Its position, abundance, and practical realities were destabilized. The same star aspect accentuates bold, aggressive moves to put the spotlight on its chosen leader.

Pisces Neptune confuses itself and dissipates its energy. The star aspect doesn’t fortify, galvanize, or otherwise shore up the party’s interests. This dissolution meets a wake-up call in March 2025 and moves through a practical reckoning in 2024. Throughout 2024, the party requires adjustments and fine-tuning. If the party builds structures for unity, it can revive itself. If not, the pressure grinds the party’s ideals to the ground. Complications, delays, and confrontations spilled the party into further fragmentation.

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 are:

  • Libra Sun at 19° sextile Sagittarius Jupiter in its own sign at 20°
  • Aquarius Moon square Scorpio Venus at 27° trine Libra Mercury at 28°
  • Leo Mars squares Taurus Uranus sextiles Pisces
  • Neptune at 11°
  • Pisces Neptune quincunx Leo Mars at 11°
  • Scorpio Venus opposes Gemini Saturn with a 4° orb

Sun & Moon

Sun: The Sun in Libra strengthens the core identity into one of diplomacy, grace and the Venusian values of peace and harmony. This party’s central theme involves women and their collaborative approach. Short of having women as part of their core leadership, embracing compromise, equality, and justice are the party’s core values. Good luck and success comes when the party realizes its founding ideals.

Moon: The Aquarian Moon at 27° squares off with women and gets smoothed out when their messaging and ideation come in balanced ways. Discerning who and how the party attracts donors, founders, leaders, and key party organizers sparks their future. When they focus on the past, traditional ways, and masculine-only leadership, they cut off their support from women. They need women and deep transformative moves to realize their goals.

Other Notable Qualities

Mission

The mission of the Republican Party is to balance the hearts and minds of their voters. When they lead with authenticity and stand as role models for the people, they improve their chances of winning both the hearts and the minds of the public.

Their leaders are filled with courage and grit; with the tenacity to move through challenges as well as inspire their party’s followers. Republicans do best when they remember their roots. Channeling early visionaries like Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt and taking bold risks help bring success and prosperity.

Challenges

Balancing unity for the common layperson with courage at the leadership level creates the right approach to overcoming challenges but requires finesse and constant adjustments to support both missions. The Republican Party survives on shocking the public by standing up and defending its core principles, no matter the situation, timing, or politics. Their legal leaders advocate for the justice the party seeks. Furthermore, when their leaders are drawn from the military, they become role models for the common person.

Bravery

The Republican Party needs brave and authentic leaders to bring them into the future, directly contradicting its core values of peace and harmony. However, success comes from prioritizing authenticity. If the party integrates support from women for their causes and takes bold actions to realize them, they weave their identity into their future.

Genius

Open-mindedness, inclusivity, and dealing with the duality of any given situation is the genius of this party. It’s not an easy energy to leverage, but with the support of women, they can achieve their brilliance. Being rooted in drama or intensity unconventionally helps them make strides toward their goals.

Soul Destiny

The Republican Party’s soul destiny involves opening minds, asking more questions than seeking answers, and being in a state of wonder. Communication is at the heart of this party’s purpose. Stepping away from gurus and shedding dogma and fundamentalism heals this party’s soul karma and brings them the success they desire. Instead of alienating women, they want to fold them into their party’s success formula to achieve their true purpose.

MAGA Party Stars

The MAGA Party was born on June 16, 2015, in New York City when Donald Trump announced his run for President. Just two days after Trump’s birthday, the candidate and the party share a Sun sign.

He is the party. (This is one of the reasons I’ve always felt Donald has an astrologer in his corner.)

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 are:

  • Sun in Gemini at 25° conjunct the Moon and Mars at 24°
  • New Moon phase with in Moon in Gemini at 26°
  • Aries Uranus trine Leo Jupiter at 19°
  • Gemini Mercury at 5° trine Libra soul destiny and sextile
  • Aries soul karma at 6°
  • Leo Venus at 10° quincunx Pisces
  • Neptune at 9°

Sun & Moon

Sun: The MAGA party leans on open minds, big ideas, and lots of messaging. The more this party focuses its voice, tone, tenor, and cadence, the better the public can relate to it. Courage and aggression create power, attraction, and value for the party.

Moon: The New Moon phase provides celebrity to this party’s core identity. This star placement indicates new beginnings. Big bold actions move the party into pole position among its established counterparts. The party’s Moon is the most important component of their star chart due to its placement with its leader’s Sun and Moon.

It will be interesting to watch the eventual future of the party without its leader at the helm.

Other Notable Qualities

Mission

The MAGA Party’s mission, according to the stars, is to attract women into its leadership sphere to be innovative and inclusive. The balance of advocacy and activism with diplomacy and civility is a key component to the party’s mission.

Challenges

The challenges for the party involve giving up too much to stick to traditional roles, structures, and methods. Sudden change creates success, but it also brings surprising results. Zigging and zagging provide support in unexpected ways.

Bravery

Opening minds to stay in the state of wonder is the key to the party’s stature. Dealing with duality and embracing big ideas integrates the core identity of the party with its ability to align with the country’s mission.

Genius

This party’s power of transformation must be embraced to realize its genius. Deep, magnetic, and intense drama is part of the party’s brilliance. Additionally, when this intensity involves transformational healing, it produces exponential success.

Soul Destiny

Upholding justice and advocating for the equality of its citizenry is the party’s soul destiny. The balance of advocacy and diplomacy is the key to unlocking the party’s destiny. The party’s soul karma involves giving up its attachment to anger, aggression, and selfish-centeredness. When the MAGA Party drops these attributes, it strives to reach its destiny.

Party Alignment with the United States of America

The Democratic, Republican, and MAGA Parties either aligned or misaligned with the United States during the 2024 election. Reviewing America’s stars through the lens of each of the parties indicates how each entity impacts the future of the nation.

Democratic Party & USA Stars

Key Interaction: The Party’s Capricorn Uranus conjuncts the U.S.A.’s Pluto at 27° for radical changes that can either be liberating or feel out of control. Open-mindedness and flexibility are the best approaches to creating transformational healing. Stubborn resistance is the kryptonite for this aspect.

Shared Destiny: Be brave about healing the issues with women by negotiating with compromise and without giving up the true essence of what you truly desire. Supporting the lineage of the common person is the key to realizing the shared soul destiny.

Republican Party & USA Stars

Key Interaction: The Republican Party’s Taurus Saturn trines the USA’s Capricorn Pluto at 27°, making the agency of government a supportive mechanism for the country’s people. Conservativism, capitalism, and long-term strategies all merge these two energies. Positive lasting change can be achieved with these two stars.

Shared Destiny: Realizing a rooted and anchored sense of belonging for families, women, and children is the key to the shared soul destiny between the Republican Party and the United States. Ancestral healing is also a shared component. Letting go of the traditional and institutional structures is an important element in healing this shared soul karma.

MAGA Party & USA Stars

Key Interaction: The Party’s Pisces Chiron squares off with America’s Gemini Mars at 21°to support assertive healing of deep wounds. The country’s unity can be achieved in creatively healing ways and with the power of an open mind. Moving from a victim complex to a hero complex is the solution.

Shared Destiny: Let go of self-absorption or victimization to heal shared soul karma. Be practical, get skilled, and stay focused on the common person. Get down to Earth to efficiently be useful to others. Make the little things and people matter.

Bottom Line

America has its own soul destiny. However, each of the major political parties has its own destinies that may or may not support the nation’s.

Thanks to Pluto’s dramatic return in 2022, analysis of the 2024 election must include the intentions of the United States at its founding.

Pluto asks, “What have you done about it?” Each political party has its answer, and the results matter greatly as we look ahead to November.

Thank you for reading and sharing with friends.

As always, wishing you joy,

Kim

Part 2: Stars and Stripes: Election Predictions

One thing I know for sure, the results of the 2024 US presidential election aren’t going to be known for many weeks or months after the votes are cast on November 5, 2024.

Even if the US electoral process wasn’t systematically derailed through voter-suppressing court decisions, extreme gerrymandering, and partisan election official administration, the stars predict a 2024 election process fraught with tension, aggression and denial.

Since the US presidential election extends well beyond November 5th, predicting who wins the votes and who actually takes the seat as Commander in Chief on January 20th involves much more than interpreting America’s voting day stars and those for each of the candidates. Anyone who claims they have the answer based on November 5th has a 50/50 chance of being right, which is no better than a coin toss, and isn’t doing justice to the power of astrological analysis.

Astrology is so powerful and interpreting the stars for their awesome insights involves much more than a date or a person.

In fact, astrology is better suited for asking questions than for giving answers, so asking the right questions gets closer to a predictive formula.

The right questions aren’t who will win or who will lose on election day. This election isn’t about a particular person or a certain day. This election prediction isn’t even about reviewing both of the political parties or looking back through recent history of other elections.

During this election process, the stars tell us the courts will be petitioned. No one knows which day a filing may be heard or ruled on over the next handful of months. The stars of the court rulings can’t be read with certainty without more specific data.

The 2024 US election is bigger than any person, any day, any hearing or any particular political affiliation.

The stars tell us the United States is issuing a referendum on its constitution as forces for suppression, agitation and conflict arise throughout November, December and January. This requires a thorough analysis of the key dates for the entire election process, including the State Electoral Deadline on December 17th, Congressional Certification on January 6th and Inauguration Day on January 20th.

This election is about the fate of a nation frailly perched at a crossroads of whether the original foundation of the county is fraught with fissures or whether the foundation is strong enough for a grand future.  The 2024 US election is a choice between the future and the past.

With all of this, the right questions still aren’t being asked. This is more than timing over the next few months. This is about the future of the New Era. The state of the world for freedom, equality and inclusion or suppression, elitism and division is up for review.

The New Era is about the future, freedom, choice, rights and inclusivity or it’s about the past, suppression, coercion, injustice and exclusion. Right now, there seems to be little middle ground and the stars put obstacles in the way to either move through or get stomped by and as always, free will can always override what’s written in the stars. Free will is part of the equation of destiny, which is destiny = fate + free will.

Because free will is involved, questions matter. The stars can write the fate, but we choose whether they become true or not. Diving deeply into the heart of the grand vision of the country and of each presidential candidate gives a much-needed launch point to begin the astrological interpretation of who will lead the nation for the next 4 years. Will the country be led back into the past or will it be led in the future? This is the single most important question.

Other questions to be answered involve:

  • What is the New Era and how is it realized?
  • What have the stars told the world about critical timing for the United States?
  • How are the stars impacting the origin story of the nation and how it unfolds?
  • What is at stake for the nation and its vision?
  • How does each political party impact America’s vision?
  • How do the stars influence an outcome, either positive or negative?
  • What does the first term of a president look like as stipulated by the stars?

Based on these questions, a wider lens and deeper probe are necessary to lay the foundation for a proper forecast as to who wins the election and who takes the seat of President of the United States in 2025.

Answering the questions as posed by the stars indicate the winners and losers through the key election process dates, the political parties, the USA itself, recent elections and the country’s grand vision juxtaposed with the candidate’s grand vision.

For each of the following sections, the analysis will begin with a summarized paragraph for lay readers followed up by the astrological configurations for those who want to dive into the star interpretation.

The Grand Vision of 2020

With the Solstice on December 21, 2020, two stars, known as a Grand Conjunction, created an opening to usher in the New Era. Astronomically, you may recall the 800-year star, called the Christmas Star, that was visible to the naked eye. These stars haven’t been in as close an alignment since 1226.

In 2020 for more practical applications, these stars launched a 200-year cycle in the air element, instead of earthly one. This star configuration heralds a shifting from industrial and traditional constructs into technical and innovative abstracts. A perfect example of this shift is how the world is moving from actual money, in the form of paper dollars and metal coins, into electronic transfers or cryptocurrency.

Every planetary cycle initiates with a blending. In the Grand Conjunction, Jupiter, the God of the Gods, meets Saturn, the God of Karma, urging personal actions to prioritize how to achieve a great vision. On December 21, 2020, these two planets meet at 0° Aquarius, indicating a divine spark into a new age, a new world or a New Era.

One key element is the heralding of the New Era during the 2020 election process. In fact, the 800-year Christmas Star of December 2020 outlines the grand vision for America and for the world.

Diving into the 2020 Christmas Star configuration to highlight the grand vision of the country sets up which candidate actually is poised to run the country for the next 4 years. Of course, diving into the stars from 2025 – 2029 is also an excellent process for determination.

As with every star cycle, the planets either support or confront each other. The 4-year focus begins in the summer of 2024 with its first confrontation. From August 19, 2024 through June 15, 2025, this grand vision squares off to set up a huge wakeup call on March 30, 2025. The US presidential election falls within this time frame.

It’s a wakeup call for the United States and for the world. Let’s dive into the grand vision for the nation and each of the candidates to understand the future of the New Era.

USA Stars – Grand Vision

USA 2020

Summary: The Grand Conjunction on December 21, 2020 meets to launch the USA into its natural state of power, urging its citizens to find their assurance, confidence and worth. The American Dream, begging to be realized by as many people as possible, is alive and real when people respect another’s autonomy. For the dream to become a reality, it’s necessary to take the fear out of separation.

In the American Dream, everyone has the right to be free, equal and powerful. It involves stepping away from being part of a community where you’re rendered powerless, voiceless or your identity is lost. Where you’re deeply marked by religion or other group think belief systems that deny truth or run counter to collective reality. The denial of truths may become compulsive due to a need to create certainty around a belief that isn’t shared by anyone outside of the organized group.

Mars in the sky excites the nation’s own Mars to embrace the soul destiny of being open minded, bravely embracing duality and stepping into a state of possibility. The lower expression is convincing the people to embrace group think, get swept up in conspiracy theories and taking aggressive actions.

According to the stars, the country’s role in the world is supported when it steps into the flow of gender equality, balance of justice and center of moderation. The origin story of courage and independence is sparked to ignite leaders to take the country into its next chapter.

The Stars: Jupiter conjuncts Saturn at 0° Aquarius in the 2nd house pushing for the future in terms of craftsmanship, connection, money and success.

The collective soul destiny, the Gemini north node, blends with the country’s courageous position, Mars @ 21° Gemini, for being open minded, optimistic and accepting of duality.

Aries Mars in the sky @ 22° in the 4th house sextiles the country’s Gemini Mars @ 22° in the 7th house, exciting the hearts and minds of its citizens.

USA 2024 – 2025

Summary: The confrontation beginning on August 19th presses the nation to find its sovereignty with a bright light shining on freedom of speech. The leaders of the country have a chance to express their authentic beliefs about what it means to be a role model for every citizen. Change is in the air with positive opportunities to create lasting success. The work of the future involves speaking and believing the truth with honesty and generosity.

The message heard by Americans either expands their hearts toward or against freedom, inclusion and innovation. The future is here. The gap widens.

The lightning bolt of change supports the wholeness of appreciating the country at a soul level, moving the country into its New Era or holding onto the traditional ways. Mars once again sparks itself to exponentially expand its thinking about diplomacy, justice and commitment to its partners in the world.

The Stars: Gemini Jupiter squares Pisces Saturn @ 17° for its first exact aspect on August 19, 2024 with the 2nd following on December 24th and the 3rd on June 15th, 2025.

The Leo Sun conjuncts Mercury in the 9th house @ 26°, sparking conversations about leaders and how they express themselves.

Gemini Mars in the sky conjuncts the country’s Mars in the 7th house @ 19° and 21° respectively.

In the 7th house, Gemini Jupiter conjuncts Mars in the sky at 17° and 19° respectively, expanding justice and equality.

Kamala’s Stars – Grand Vision

Kamala 2020

Summary: Kamala’s grand vision involves healing and transforming the world to step into the New Era. She invites diving deeply into the shared bonds of the people while appreciating the humanity and vulnerability of belonging to something greater than any one person, group or community. She unites instead of divides and reconciles instead of injures.

Kamala has the ability to create and deliver powerful messaging to entice people to change and resolve problems and conflicts. Like the phoenix rising from the ashes, investing in the right resources is another avenue for growth. Her grand vision welcomes feminine wisdom and untold power.

Claiming her right to be powerful and bold is the underlying energy of her grand vision. Yes, she may be diplomatic, but underneath the strength of steel is not to be trifled with or underestimated.

The stars: Aquarius Jupiter conjuncts Saturn at 0° in the 8th house, sparking deep transformation.

The Sagittarius Sun and Capricorn Mercury conjunct, out of quality in the 7th house, providing optimistic leadership.

Sagittarius Venus quincunx Taurus Uranus at 6° in the 6th and 11th houses, respectively, asking for adjustments in the way people work together in the future.

Aries Mars in the sky at 22° in the 11th house trines Leo Mars in the 3rd house at 21°.

Pisces Neptune conjunct the Moon squares he collective soul destiny in Gemini and the collective soul karma in Sagittarius. Unity, creativity and spirituality meets the heart and power of showing up in the world.

Astrological chart for Kamala Harris, showing planetary positions and aspects with zodiac symbols and a table of degrees. The chart reflects a natal chart from October 20, 1964, alongside transit data for August 19, 2024.

Kamala 2024 – 2025

Summary: Kamala’s ability to attract people with her charisma, her orientation to service and her strong message couldn’t be more perfectly timed for her candidacy. She ignites change through her words and by attracting the right people into her sphere of influence.

The embodiment of the potential of women in positions of power explodes into being when she stands strong and doesn’t force through will, but invites through diplomacy.

The stars: The Gemini Jupiter square Pisces Saturn at 17° confrontation includes an opposition between Saturn-Virgo Venus at 17° and square between Jupiter-Venus too. On Kamala’s star chart, her own Venus at Virgo 17° is amplified by 1000.

In December, this configuration holds to amplify her ability to connect with people to convey what’s in her heart and mind. Kamala’s chart also rocks her Uranus and Pluto in Virgo 4th house. Her messaging may get lost in the noise or be misunderstood. Standing in her truth, being brutally honest and leaning into the shock and awe energy gives her a boost.

Donald’s Stars – Grand Vision

Donald 2020

Summary: In 2020, standing in his greatest leadership to disrupt the world is possible with this star configuration. The world understands and appreciates Donald’s messaging, lightning bolt approach and righteous posture to usher them into a new way of living and working. Initiating a new way of working or connecting with workers is possible. The world feels aligned with his energy. It seems he has come at the perfect time to fix everything that’s wrong.

Donald’s own soul destiny and karma align perfectly with the collective’s destiny and karma. The shock and awe sparks the change that he desires. In Gemini, it’s relatively easy to shift minds through speeches and arguments.

His Sun shines the spotlight on him for stardom while he takes any action he desires. The fuel for his power comes from his wish to be the guru. His wish is met and galvanizes him to take increased action to ensure it happens the way he wants.

The stars: Aquarius Jupiter conjuncts Saturn at 0° in the 6th house, changing the way Donald wants to show up in daily life.

The Sagittarius Sun and Capricorn Mercury conjuncts in the 5th house.

The Gemini collective north node conjunct Donald’s Sun, Uranus and north node in the 11th house opposing the Sagittarius Sun and south node in the 5th house.

Astrological chart for Donald Trump, showing planetary positions and aspects with zodiac symbols and a table of degrees. The chart reflects a natal chart from June 14, 1946, alongside transit data for August 19, 2024.

Donald 2024 – 2025

Summary: Donald’s grand vision requires a deep dive into healing and empathy for unity and creating the world he truly desires. He has the opportunity to heal his issues with women when he transforms to include them in his equation of success. His free will has demonstrated that he’s not open to heal or transform, so his issues with women increase. He digs a deeper hole which he can’t get out of when he tries to divide and conquer.

The ups and downs vibe of Uranus creates a ripple effect and whether it’s positive or negative depends on Donald’s commitment to his grand vision. When he doubles down, he expands the gap between what he desires and what the country needs. Sudden changes are likely improving his status with his own community, but creating further separation from those outside of his influence.

His luck is fed from women, justice and peace. If he allowed the freedom, balance and future of the nation to become part of his goals in his presidency, he could gain the success he desires. Regardless of his positions on policies, he gains money from his messages. With his merchandise selling and his requests for monetary support for his legal issues, he’s realizing his money fate.

The stars: The Gemini Jupiter in the 11th house squares Pisces Saturn at 17° in the 8th house.

Virgo Venus at 17° in the 2nd house opposes Pisces Saturn in the 8th house and squares Gemini Jupiter in the 11th house.

On Donald’s star chart, his Gemini Uranus is hit directly by Jupiter amplifying his shock and awe tendencies and expanding his issues with women.

His star chart is also supported with Gemini Jupiter at 17° in the sky harmonizing his Libra Jupiter 17° on his chart.

This star configuration repeats within 3 degrees, Jupiter-Saturn at 14°, on December 24, 2024 and will be discussed in subsequent articles.

Free Will Versus Star Chart

In the introduction, you read about free will and how free will shifts fate toward destiny and is an equal part of the equation. The September 10th presidential debate illustrates how the stars and free will either coincide or clash. The negative impact predominately wins whether it’s free will or the stars. Free will, when exerted with power and authority, overrides positive star influence. While the adverse star force isn’t easily overcome with free will. It can be done, but it requires much greater power than what’s written in the cosmos.

The Presidential Debate on September 10th

Star configurations around the date of the debate:

  • September 4, 2024: Mars enters Cancer
  • September 17: Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse
  • October 2, 2024: New Moon/Solar Eclipse

The first presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump occurred on September 10th at 9:00 pm ET in Philadelphia, PA. This had the potential to be an excellent debate for both candidates.

Kamala’s Debate

Here’s what I wrote before the debate about Kamala’s performance and results, “The debate should go well for Kamala Harris with the Virgo Sun 17° in the sky hitting exactly on her own Virgo Venus 17° in the 4th house, connecting with people at the root level. When she sticks with the details and gives statistics and analysis, this actually works for her during this debate.

Mercury in the sky at Virgo 1° excites her own Scorpio Mercury 1° soothing her mastery of strategy, weaving disparate patterns and speaking about hope, inclusion and freedom for the future. Kamala also wants to lean into connecting with women by talking about healing and transforming the nation. A little shock and awe in her responses benefit her too.

Mars in Cancer is in her first house, so creative diplomacy, deep connection and brave talk put her in a strong leadership position.”

Clearly, Kamala leaned into her star influence and gained respect, clarity and a lift in her polling results.

Donald’s Debate

This is what I wrote about the debate date based on what’s written in the stars, “Donald Trump’s star chart is very positively affected during the debate. It’s one of the best days for him with Jupiter in the sky amplifying his Gemini Sun, soul destiny and Uranus in the 10th house. He has the opportunity to come out on top at this debate filled with fortune and success. His messaging, ideas and beliefs are amplified, so he also has the chance of talking too much, being distracted and talking nonsensically.

Venus in the sky helps attract audience, creates charisma and increases chances for success. For Donald, Venus connects to his healing and good luck charms in the 2nd house of skills and money in the sign of Libra, which is balance, peace and harmony and connecting to your feminine side. Women can connect to Donald during the debate if he opens himself in authentic ways.

Mars in Cancer passes through Donald’s 11th house, so strongly suggests that he shows vulnerability and acts like a soft, yet strong leader to connect to his audience.”

Free will overrides the possibility or potential pitfalls in the stars. Donald’s performance at the debate was abysmal. He didn’t stay on message. He didn’t express empathy or vulnerability.

The result? He alienated minorities, women and people from other nations. The stars couldn’t save him or perhaps they did and it could have had a worse impact on his position in the race.

The Election Stars: November 5, 2024

The key star aspects during the week of the election and walking through them when describing the election results are important.

  • November 3, 2024: Cancer Mars opposite Capricorn Pluto
  • November 4, 2024: Mars enters Leo
  • November 5, 2024: America votes

On the geopolitical stage, the riskiest dates for instability and violence are from November 4th – December 6th with Mars moving forward in Leo until he stations retrograde on December 6th, muting him and suppressing his aggression.

For the US, the presidential election is within this timeframe tightening the effects due to the Cancerian Sun sign of the US. Mars in Cancer relates directly to both either positively or negatively. When the voting finishes on November 5th, the veracity of the vote will be inconclusive and fought rabidly to the ultimate finish.

Pluto reenters Aquarius on November 19th for the next 20 years ensuring the predestined influence involves either inclusion, innovation and freedom or detachment, revolution and chaos. Because this energy is so new, it’s unfamiliar and uncomfortable, making people want to cling to the past. Yet, the future is being fought now.

Crumbling institutions, financial markets and governments has been going on since 2008 when Pluto entered Capricorn. Pluto destroys the foundations, so the foundation of the future is being destroyed to make room for its highest potential. With chaos, comes creativity.

Complicating the election process is Mercury retrograde between November 25th – December 15th in the sign of Sagittarius, the traditional sign of gurus, religious leaders and dogmatic figures. This timing heralds the fight between the new era and the old world, the future and the past and freedom and oppression.

On November 3rd, Cancerian Mars opposes Capricorn Pluto at 29°, so it’s super cuspy amplifying its effects. This opposition gives the greatest range of choice between the heart and soul versus status and power. Softer influences, healing power and feminine influence battle with hierarchy, elitism and patriarchal tendencies. It’s the future of the New Era versus the past of traditional systems.

Ironically, but not surprisingly, the 2016 contentious election involved Mars at the last degree of Capricorn, entering Aquarius after the close of the voting on November 8th, 2016. In the 2020 election, Mars was at the midpoint of his own sign Aries and retrograde for intense suppression energy. I had said, “We won’t know the outcome of election for a long time, if ever. We may never know the results of the 2020 election.” Now in 2024, these 2 elections set up the 2024 November election.

Due to Mars retrograde period, Mars and Pluto oppose each other from the beginning November to April 2025. Everything that’s been brewing comes up to the surface to be resolved. For the US election, voting rights, social justice and the origin of the constitution’s promise is up for power grabs and controlling interests.

Mars, once again, is going to directly and adversely affect the 2024 election process.

General Election for Kamala Harris

Prediction: For Kamala Harris, November 5th brings a win in terms of votes as her grand vision aligns with the country’s grand vision.

Astrological chart for Kamala Harris, showing planetary positions and aspects with zodiac symbols and a table of degrees. The chart reflects a natal chart from October 20, 1964, alongside transit data for November 5, 2024.

Summary: When Kamala expresses herself clearly with deep and transformative messaging, she brings people out to cast their vote. Embodying the purity of intention with a sense of belonging is the energy that Kamala wants to emphasize.

Unifying women to vote is the key to her success. Including others so they feel as if they’re part of something bigger than themselves influences women, so they come out to vote to heal and transform the nation.

Kamala powers her success when she conveys transforming and healing for the soul of the nation. She’s heard by more and more people when she underscores her messaging about the future versus the past to move forward and not go back. “We won’t go back” is one of her best slogans.

She has a creative energy around election day that connects deeply with women. Kamala wants to be strong, authentic and clear in her messaging.

Her role in the public eye and her deep connections get a boost and these are the same influences as her Sun and Moon in the same signs. She continues to have the ability to connect to the citizens of the world.

Using her genius to overcome the roadblocks that are preventing the country from healing the divisions creates unity for the country. In Pisces, the quest is “We are one,” and when Kamala heals, she heals the world.

The stars: The Scorpio Sun in the sky passes at 13° in her 5th house to excite her Virgo Uranus 13° in her 4th house.

Gemini Jupiter retrograde 20° passes the 12th house to stimulate her Pisces Chiron at 20° in the 10th house.

The Leo Mars 0° opposition with Aquarian Pluto 0° hits Kamala’s stars in her 2nd and 8th houses.

Leo Mars at 0° passes through her 2nd house confronting her Scorpio Mercury at 1° in her 5th house.

The collective soul destiny in Aries at 4°and the soul karma in Libra at 4° crosses over Kamala’s 10th house and 4th house cusp, respectively.

Pisces Saturn at 12° passes through her 10th house blending with her Chiron at 14°.

General Election for Donald Trump

Prediction: For Donald Trump, he doesn’t have the win in terms of votes.

Astrological chart for Donald Trump, showing planetary positions and aspects with zodiac symbols and a table of degrees. The chart reflects a natal chart from June 14, 1946, alongside transit data for November 5, 2024.

Summary: The stars would support Donald IF his soul karma wasn’t involved. Donald’s karmic issues involve misunderstanding women and the Moon and Venus are feminine energies. This star illumination exacerbates his karmic wounds. Donald loses women in the nation’s vote and this loss is enough to bring him down in numbers with fewer votes then he needs to win the election.

Donald’s continued emphasis on what’s wrong, playing the blame game and victimizing others doesn’t endear him to anyone beyond his own following. He needs a boost into other segments of the voting population to increase his chances to win the 2024 election. The stars put pressure, confusing his position, lowering his followers’ energy and deluding the public.

The stars set up the opportunity for Donald to heal his wounds with women. His messaging doesn’t land overall, but perhaps he can connect deeply with families to boost his chances to win. Donald can absolutely make money from his messaging and merchandise from his campaign with this star configuration. Making money doesn’t equate to securing the presidency.

The stars: The Sagittarius Moon and Venus 21° in the sky pass to blend with his Moon and soul karma in his 5th house and opposing his Gemini Sun and soul destiny in the 11th house.

The collective soul destiny in Aries at 4°and the soul karma in Libra at 4° blends with his Libran Neptune 5° in the 2nd house.

Gemini Jupiter 20° retrograde passes over Donald’s Sun at 22° and Uranus at 17° and soothes his own Libran Jupiter 17° and Chiron 14° in the 3rd house.

Bottom Line

Since the US presidential election is a referendum on its constitution, the election process requires a deeper understanding of how the parties and candidates align with the country’s grand vision.

Given the star configuration throughout this election season, I don’t anticipate a final conclusion without involving the courts. It’ll be interesting to observe how the courts become involved and whether they allow complaint filings to be heard. Rulings can go either way.

The voting on November 5th matters, yet the ability to achieve its grand vision in the United States is up for review. The New Era requires freedom, inclusion and innovation, while the traditional ways are being forced to the surface in order to heal.

Stay tuned for the next segment on how the parties align or misalign with the nation’s destiny.

Thank you for reading and sharing with friends.

As always, wishing you joy,

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 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. 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 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 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 to live to your full potential.

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 insight into the remedies for the country’s soul 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

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. 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

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 destiny involves stepping into a leadership role on the world stage to effectively build bridges and radiate confidence. 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 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 the written in 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

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.

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: 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. 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, 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

Kalama’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 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. 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 Sun is 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 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 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.

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 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 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 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 predict the electoral outcomes for the time period from the presidential debate on September 10, 2024 through the inauguration on January 20, 2025.

How Fiery Mars Pushes You Beyond Your Boiling Point

Mars in Cancer/Leo Retrograde 2024-2024

Note: This is a long one, so grab a cup of coffee and settle in. The Leo-Cancer Retrograde Mars timeframe is between September 4, 2024 through June 20, 2025, so it’s worth the read.

Introduction

In 2024, Mars is the power in action for this edgy year. He kicked off another wave of the New Era by converging with Pluto on February 14th creating an opening for Visionary Leaders to ignite the combination of the future way to do business without losing yourself.

At the top of the year, Mars by merging with Pluto in a new cycle opened the blending of the ancient wisdom of the feminine with the advanced technologies of the masculine.

Let’s explore how Mars becomes debilitated in September by entering Cancer as he travels completely through Cancer to enter Leo, where he loves to be. Yet, he then stations retrograde in Leo to pull ALL of this energy back into himself. This combination creates a volcanic underground fire that’s ready to blow without any relief valve.

As he moves back into Cancer, he gets more and more angry that simmers beneath the surface while increasing his emotional posture relating to those he holds dear.

This is a formula for disaster, but where there’s risk and chaos, there’s opportunity and reward.

Parsing out the star components helps determine the best way for you to take advantage of the opportunity and reward; Mars, Cancer, Retrograde, then Mars and Pluto in action to put it all together for you.

First, Mars

Mars is the fiery planet known as the God of War, who loves moving forward and getting exactly what he wants.

He pushes you to take action and when you do, you get what you want. When you don’t, you become the prey defending your position and in some cases, your life, making you prone to accidents and mishaps.

Mars is the star of will, energy and drive to create what you truly desire in your life. Additional martial words involve action, adventure, bravery and passion or aggression, anger, lust and violence.

As long as you’re willing to take risks, Mars has your back. The issue is he doesn’t care whether you’re taking positive actions or negative ones.

Bad actors come out of the woodwork, especially when things reach the boiling point. Staying aligned with your integrity is the key to navigating this difficult multi-month configuration.

Second, Cancer

Cancer is soft, gentle and full of nurturing support requiring a high emotional quotient while prioritizing home and family.

Think about the crab that symbolizes the zodiac sign of Cancer, the hard shell that protects the gooey crab within. The crab is sweet and tender underneath a hard-protective shell.

Cancer’s ultimate quest is to belong, making her vulnerable, sensitive, and empathic. She yearns for family, home and love. Her heart is wide open and her shell is the only protection she wields. She loves deeply and forever.

Her feminine gifts include intuition, healing and being genuinely connected to the deepest aspect of your soul.

When Cancer feels safe and secure, her love is beyond measure. When she feels left out or defensive, she becomes smothering, easily hurt, moody and overly sensitive.

Third, Mars in Cancer and Leo

The dance for Mars involves Cancer and Leo for many more months than usual. From September 4, 2024 to June 20, 2025, Mars is either in Cancer or Leo. Let’s look at how he acts in both zodiac signs.

Mars in Cancer

Mars likes his own sign of Aries and Scorpio and he also likes Capricorn, where he’s exalted. Mars doesn’t play well with either Libra or Taurus, but he actually loathes Cancer, where he’s at his lowest possible state.

In Cancer, Mars is stifled from taking action, but is required to feel his feelings. He HATES that. He’d much rather do than feel.

Additionally, when all of Mars energy builds up, it alters his ability to determine the best action to take, because the feedback, or lack thereof, isn’t familiar. He starts to misplace his trust or distrusts completely.

When Mars is off kilter, he reacts badly. Think of the negative words associated with him; aggression, anger, lust and violence.

The practical aspects of Mars in Cancer involve taking action regarding home, family, investments, real estate, and finance. Mars in Cancer could be good for cottage or home-based businesses, as well as family-owned ones.

However, in his retrograde stance, it’s a backward energy repressing any forward motion.

Mars in Leo

Mars adores Leo as both are fiery and love to be active and shine their brightest.

They preen under the spotlight and push themselves to take power and position themselves for success. Your courage, bold and adventurous characteristics are amplified. There’s a fearlessness and ambition to strive to win, regardless of the competition.

Mars feeds off of Leo and Leo feeds off of Mars. Together, their fire is unstoppable and anyone who’s looking for a big win is going to do anything to get it. There are no boundaries and this combination will do anything to get what they want.

The negative aspects of the Mars-Leo combination is huge ego, limitless greed and extreme power struggles moving from temper tantrums and dramatic outbursts to aggression and violence.

The practical aspects of Mars in Leo involve achieving dominance in your field, standing firm in your leadership position and performing in front of your audience with enthusiasm and confidence.

Next, Retrograde

12/6/24 – 2/23/25 Mars retrograde Leo 6 – 17° Cancer

Mars adores spending time in Leo and would have loved continuing his path in this sign, but he doesn’t get the chance yet. He has to move backward, reenter Cancer, which he doesn’t appreciate.

He loathes the watery, overly sensitive, home-bodied Cancer. He feels trapped by the ‘over-caring for others’ nature. Mars is more selfish, active and bold than Cancer lets him be.

From December 6 – January 6, Mars moves from 6° – 0° in Leo and then enters Cancer again, where he stays until April 18.

For 3 ½ months, Mars marinates in the syrupy family soup with its past history and stories about your early years. You have the opportunity to explore the depths of love with your loved ones, yet it depends on your patience and tolerance for hearing about your cute and embarrassing antics while growing up.

Typically, Cancer opens into Leo to take the love, connection and deep sense of belonging to come out into the spotlight and confidently express your passion, authenticity and creativity. The anchoring support of Cancer centers Leo to ensure he’s feeling safe and secure. When Leo feels powerful, he’s generous, stylist and an excellent leader.

However, in a retrograde cycle, Leo pulls back into Cancer suppressing his enthusiasm and knocking him off center. Mars feels unstable, fostering self-doubt and inducing a fragile ego. This is not a positive combination. The fire erupts without an outlet, so with each passing day the fire grows hotter without any star tools to cool it. It’s up to you to provide the tools to cool Mars retrograde in Leo.

Pay particularly close attention to the timeframe between November 4th to December 6th. Plan beforehand to be ready to progress through these difficult 4 weeks. Read below for timing, tricks and tips for this complicated period.

Then, Mars Interaction with Pluto

Looking back can help your path forward. Let’s take a quick look at the beginning of the cycle in Q4 2024 and then what I wrote about the Mars Pluto opposition on November 3rd this year.

The New Cycle: February 2024

Mars and Pluto blend to ignite the uncomfortable and to awaken your desire to jump into the profound and scary. You can face your fears and take the leap. Think about how you want to break free from conformity, norms or expectations.

Now is the time to do your own thing and to be your own person without interference from anyone. Your brave heart, deep desires and secret passions create an opening to let your ambitions run free. Remember to look toward the future.

With Aquarius, this an energetic push that began on the solstice in December 2020. The super edgy ignition at slightly more than 0-degrees makes your mind wonder, doubt and question. Stay in the wonder to manifest your future.

Expansion and Opposition: November 2024

There are opposing forces at play, where on the one hand, you have incredible tenacity with a propulsion for winning to ultimately achieve the goal you’ve always desired.

On the other hand, you want to play, have fun and socialize with abandon. Frivolity overcomes the hard knocks of power grabs and emotional wrangling for control or responsibility wins out with a lighter touch and self-indulgence.

From November 2018 – May 2020, you’ve felt the impact of your work-life balance in ways that you may not have been cognizant of prior to this time. This pressure hasn’t gone away in the last few years.

Right now, your work life balance is teetering on the edge. Which will you choose – love and family or work and success? You can have both if you figure out your own tempo and design your schedule to accommodate it. Get creative. This is your time to finally come to terms with what’s really important to you and to set up your life to reflect your terms.

In the coming months, Mars opposes Pluto 2 more times on January 3rd and April 26th, 2025. However, the tension between these 2 planets remains for the entire 5½ months from November 3rd through April 26th.

Finally, Putting it All Together

Key Dates to Note

In the last quarter of 2024 and the first of 2025, Mars in his retrograde position wreaks havoc. Here are the dates to remember:

February 14, 2024: Aquarius Mars conjunct Pluto 0, launching a new 2-year cycle
September 4, 2024: Mars enters Cancer, marking the beginning of its debilitation.
November 3, 2024: Cancer Mars opposite Capricorn Pluto 29
November 4, 2024: Mars enters Leo, fiery, aggressive Mars in fiery, majesty Leo
November 19, 2024: Pluto reenters Aquarius for 20-year sojourn
December 7, 2024: Mars turns retrograde in Leo 6, smoldering its fiery effects
January 3, 2025: Leo Mars Rx opposite Aquarius Pluto 1
January 6, 2025: Mars retrogrades back into Cancer
February 24, 2025: Mars stations direct Cancer 17
April 18, 2025: Mars reenters Leo
April 26, 2025: Leo Mars opposite Aquarius Pluto 3
May 2, 2025: Mars positions in Leo 6 at beginning of December. Returning your forward progress from the point you were on December 6th/7th
June 20, 2025: Mars enters Virgo

What It Means for the World

On the geopolitical stage, the riskiest dates for instability and violence are from November 4th – December 6th with Mars moving forward in Leo until he stations retrograde on the 6th, muting him and his aggression.

For the US, the presidential election is within this timeframe tightening the effects due to the Cancerian Sun sign of the US. Mars in Cancer relates directly to both either positively or negatively.

When the voting finishes on November 5th, the vote will be inconclusive and fought rabidly to the ultimate finish. Complicating this process is Mercury retrograde between November 25th – December 15th in the sign of Sagittarius, the traditional sign of gurus, religious leaders and dogmatic figures.

This timing heralds the fight between the new era and the old world, the future and the past and freedom and oppression.

For more on the New Era and the US election, listen to Your Star Path to Success Podcast special edition episodes.

For the Israel-Palestine, the conflict could spiral beyond its already out of control situation. The same can be said for the Russian aggression in Ukraine.

With the lame duck US political leadership after the November 5th election and before the swearing in, America is pulled out of any effective position of strength.

With the predicted US presidential election debacle, America is going to turn inward to field the diametrically opposing sides. With Pluto involved at the time of election day and not moving out of its opposing position with Mars until April 2025, everything that’s been brewing comes up to the surface to be resolved.

For the US election, voting rights, social justice and the origin of the constitution’s promise is up for power grabs and controlling interests.

Ironically, but not surprisingly, the 2016 contentious election involved Mars at the last degree of Capricorn, entering Aquarius after the close of the voting on November 8th, 2016. In the 2020 election, Mars was at the midpoint of his own sign Aries and retrograde for intense suppression energy.

I had said, “We won’t know the outcome of election for a long time, if ever. We may never know the results of the 2020 election.”

Now in 2024, these 2 elections set up the one this November.

In the Israel-Palestine attack, Capricorn Pluto squared off with Libran Mars in the same degree that Pluto stationed during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. For the Ukraine invasion by Russia, Pluto was within blending orb with Mars, actually only 10 days prior to the Mars-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn 27 and stationed at the same degree as the Israel-Palestine attack. Capricorn Pluto at 27° requires wholeness, while dealing with origin issues. The traditional hierarchy and operational structures get knocked out, requiring a new way of dealing with the previously unresolvable problems.

What It Means for You

Focusing on your pathway to success and what truly satisfies you is a set up by another star configuration and one worth noting here when identifying how to best navigate the next 7 months from September 2024 through April 2025.

Wise Strategist

From September 4th – November 4th and January 6th – April 18th

With Mars in Cancer, you’re able to drop into your heart and let your mind take a much-needed break. This energy helps you listen to your heart and soul, so is actually beneficial. Also, you won’t feel the negative impact as much as other signatures.

From November 4th – January 6th and April 18th – June 20th

With Mars in Leo, it’s very difficult for you to get your tasks complete and to motivate your team. Your aggravation grows, but its internal, so increases your self-doubt and fear about achieving your dreams. Remembering who you are involves revisiting your values and the reasons you started your business in the first place.

Intuitive Visionary

From September 4th – November 4th and January 6th – April 18th

With Mars in Cancer, learning to use your power isn’t easy. The lack of forward motion and the requirement to be in touch with your feelings doesn’t feed your love of ideas, solutions and brilliant methods. However, Mars in Cancer does help you connect to your audience to teach them about your solutions.

From November 4th – January 6th and April 18th – June 20th

With Mars in Leo, the energies support of you being in the spotlight aligns with your original and creative innovations. Your following recognizes they need your offerings, so during November and March and April, leverage this relative advantage.

Collaborative Explorer

From September 4th – November 4th and January 6th – April 18th

With Mars in Cancer, others realize how excellent you are in your position when negotiating, cooperating and connecting with others. Utilize your skills and talents to engage with others at their level and within their current circumstances. Coax them out of their shells by showing them how you’ve stepped out of yours.

From November 4th – January 6th and April 18th – June 20th

With Mars in Leo, step into the limelight to secure your position to speak, teach and offer your expertise to your audience, prospects and clients. Allow these fiery energies to burn through your reticence and any feelings of inadequacy to put yourself in the best position for success.

Ruling Warrior

From September 4th – November 4th and January 6th – April 18th

With Mars in Cancer, you have the opportunity to heal karma, resolve issues and remove blocks. This is wildly uncomfortable for you, but the alternative is to rail against this energy with impatience and anger. Seeking healing is your best bet during these times. Take note of the dates and schedule time with your favorite support team.

From November 4th – January 6th and April 18th – June 20th

With Mars in Leo, you’re in your sweet spot. You love everything about Mars in Leo, except when he retrogrades back. Take as much time off between December 7th – January 6th as possible. November, May and June are your best months during the Mars Cancer and Leo zodiac passage. Set your strategy and plan on committing to your growth during these times.

Creative Superstar

From September 4th – November 4th and January 6th – April 18th

With Mars in Cancer, tell your story by connecting your thoughts with your heart to be engaging with your audience. Cancer softens your creations, but also makes you want to defend them. Be wary of your vulnerability regarding your offerings to avoid spiraling into a negative mind game sequence.

From November 4th – January 6th and April 18th – June 20th

Mars in Leo pushes you into overwhelm and fear and quite frankly, is not a good energy for you to fight against. It helps when you remember with chaos comes creativity. Be more of yourself to take your rightful leadership position. Take the first steps toward being honestly and authentically YOU.

Loving Alchemist

From September 4th – November 4th and January 6th – April 18th

With Mars in Cancer, you have the opportunity to dive as deeply into your family and loved ones as you desire. The trick is not losing yourself in the process. Develop intimate and shared bonds with others as they’ll be available with this star configuration. Others are more amenable to the connection.

From November 4th – January 6th and April 18th – June 20th

With Mars in Leo, it’s more difficult to hold your position of power and stability. But you can do it. Use the force of the fire along with your element of water to form fire-water, like the storm energy to embed the massive forces to create a vortex of love, money and success around you.

Bottom Line

The New Era is here and the stars provide the energy and power you can use to effectively create the life you truly desire. Martial movement spurs you into action and typically his fast-moving, 6 weeks in one zodiac sign, offers shifting influences to move you through your life as efficiently as possible. When Mars goes retrograde, he creates complications and difficulties in one particular area. Focusing on this area benefits you in ways only Mars can create.

Do You Know You’re Wearing Your Energy Inside Out?

Your relationship with yourself has been destroyed. You’ve been wearing your energy inside out for several millennia,” I say on a LIVE LinkedIn event a few days ago and I receive several inquiries to explain more.

I leave a few voice memos explaining what the energy feels like when you’re wearing your energy inside out and how it feels when you’re wearing it the way your heart and soul know how to do it.

I post a few hastily written notes to revisit this discussion in upcoming events.

I recall how I explained this phenomena during my recent workshop on Realizing Your True Purpose.

For those of you who know me, you know once I do something more than 3 times, I recognize the need to expound on the topic to make it available to as many people as I can.

So here goes…

How to Wear Your Energy

The New Era is here where the Divine Feminine rises and the Divine Masculine takes her hand to welcome her with bated breath.

The Divine Masculine’s been waiting for her as long as she’s been waiting to be released. The masculine can finally relax by going into the core of you and solidifying your connection to the earth and acting as a conduit for heavenly energy. He rejuvenates, replenishing his energy and garnering his force. His strength anchors your soul potential, maximizing your chances of realizing your soul mission.

When he’s been on the outside standing guard, he wears himself out creating stress and exhaustion because he can’t replenish himself as he must always defend his position. He’s immobile as a statue and you can relate by trying to stand in one position for a handful of minutes without moving. Now imagine doing this for days, weeks and years. No wonder he’s exhausted!

Also, the stress of maintaining the constant pressure of performing, growing and expanding is too much and leads to burnout. Finding ways to relieve the pressure, reduce stress and build energy reserves is as easy as allowing your masculine to sink into your core and letting your feminine out into the open.

To honor your souls position at the forefront, the Divine Feminine needs to move to the outside of your energy in order for her to expand your edges. For too long, she’s been stuffed in the box, ‘protected’ by the masculine, she’s stifled to the point of needing constant reassurance, attention and validation. Allowing her to breathe benefits you in unmeasurable ways. When your feminine ways are allowed her freedom and space, your soul breathes, pulsing and connecting to others and the Universe.

Why It’s So Important

With the statistics on burnout, anxiety and depression growing to frightening heights and increasing escapism and the need for external validation going through the roof, it’s evident the traditional ways don’t work.

It’s time for radical change. It’s time for the feminine to rise. It’s time for ancient wisdom, celestial connections and earthly resonance. It’s time for intuition, healing and extrasensory engagement.

Thank God, the New Era is here, awakening your spiritual essence and sending a clarion call to your soul. The New Era is here pushing your spiritual relationship to the fore. The New Era demands you develop a strong relationship with your soul to allow your soul to lead in every area of your life.

For more on this way of living and leading, read the blog article I wrote at the inception of the New Era.

8 Quick Ways to Invigorate Your Relationship with the Feminine

If you’re feeling out of touch with your feminine side, here are a few quick and fun tips to rekindle your relationship:

  1. Play with animals, laugh with children and bond with loved ones
  2. Identify what makes you happy, gives you pleasure and lifts your spirits
  3. Explore your feelings of satisfaction through the 5 senses of sight, sound, smell, taste and touch
  4. Connect to your heart by looking at photos or scrap books to recall special memories
  5. Coordinate your schedule based on your daily, weekly, monthly and seasonal cycles
  6. Create space for quiet and solitude in order to listen to your body, heart and soul
  7. Follow the Moon phases for manifesting your desires and releasing unwanted habits
  8. Relate to the earthly forces of the tides, weather and elements to understand the natural flow of life

8 Easy Tools to Strengthen Your Relationship with the Masculine

If you want to hone your masculine core strength, here are a few easy ways to do so:

  1. Refine your mission, vision and values for your life and business to amplify your passion for your goals
  2. Make a list of your accomplishments or proud moments – do 5 a day for a week
  3. Reach out to good friends to remind you of what’s truly important
  4. Relieve your task list by welcoming support through automations, systems and people
  5. Lessen responsibility by winnowing your list; it’s not ALL yours
  6. Pursue opportunities that expand your influence to make big impact
  7. Connect with people who make you feel more of yourself, not less
  8. Get back to the basics of nutrition, sleep and movement

Bottom Line

The New Era requires you to connect to the universe’s power through your feminine edges, anchoring your soul’s potential through your Divine Masculine. The Divine Feminine holds the dialogue with your soul while the Divine Masculine conveys the physical expression of it. This is the natural way to wear your energy and knowing how to fortify the masculine and the feminine is the key to creating abundance, ease and freedom while seeking to achieve your greatest potential.

Do You Want to Know How to Unlock the Massive Power of the Stars for Success?

“The stars always lead the way,” I said to a group the other week, “The stars tell you what’s going to happen in the world, then the economics follow and finally the business trends. If you want to stay on top of things, follow the stars. Keeping up with the other indicators leaves you behind.” 

The look on the faces around the room as they range from aghast to intrigued and everything in between. I don’t mean to shock and awe, but it happens. Time and time again, especially when my predictions are accurate. 

In fact, I read my all-time favorite quote yesterday from a follower I don’t know, “You should follow this woman and her weekly forecasts. She’s annoyingly accurate.” 😆

Yup. 

Annoyingly accurate. 

Most. Favorite. Quote. Ever.

Unlocking the massive power of the stars does so much more than keep you ahead of the trends. The stars give you the clarity and energy to do more than survive and thrive in your business, they show you how to grow and lead the way. You get to be on that cutting edge where leaders follow you. You become the voice of wisdom. The leader among leaders.  

Let’s explore the 5 top ways the stars + strategy creates success:
  1. Guidance for Confident Decision-Making

Astrology provides you with a cosmic roadmap, guiding you through the twists and turns of the business world. By incorporating astrology into your strategy, you gain access to valuable insights that empower you to make decisions with unwavering confidence. You know when to launch, hire, sell, negotiate, optimize and take vacation with friends and family. 

My clients wire their schedules based on their annual outlook that I outline for them at the top of year and then we check in either every month or every quarter to ensure their calendars are in lock-step with the stars. They gain the advantage of never having to worry about running into unpredictable roadblocks. 

Every time they Voxer me with a decision-making question, I peek at their stars for the guidance that lays out their best scenario. They get the insights tailored just for them. 

Planning your timing with the stars gives you peace of mind, conserves your energy and helps restore your resources. Trust the celestial guidance and let the stars illuminate your path to success. If you want a glimpse of what’s happening in the stars, watch my 30-second weekly forecasts here

  1. Amplify Your Intuition by Tapping into Cosmic Wisdom

Every single person is intuitive. Period. End. You are intuitive, it’s merely a matter of how much you strengthen your intuitive muscle. As with anything, intuition development is a practice. 

When you hear about your strengths, super powers, areas for improvement and what may be blocking your success, you’re able to align with your energies beyond what your mind thinks. 

Your mind is a processor, only able to handle what it already knows. When you’re in a period of growth, your mind short circuits and creates reasons why you shouldn’t do this, follow that or say YES to new opportunities. Your mind is in the negative space to keep you safe. You can appreciate your mind, but your intuition is the wise one in times of growth. 

Your intuition knows, but it is exceedingly patient. Your intuition will wait until your mind is finished with its tape. Then your intuition looks for openings to be heard. It whispers, nudges and gives you inklings. If you’re not attuned to your intuition, you don’t hear it. Your intuition then quiets until it becomes completely silent. 

Following the stars gives you opportunities to validate your intuition. I can’t count the number of times my clients have said, “I knew that” when I tell them what’s coming up for them. Each time, they gain a little more confidence in listening to their intuition. 

I also tell them to use my intuition as they develop their own. 😉 I have many articles and TV appearances about using your intuition on my media page

  1. Embrace Authenticity and Lead with Purpose

Your journey as a female entrepreneur is about more than just financial success. It’s about embracing authenticity and leading with purpose. 

Astrology allows you to align your business strategy with your cosmic blueprint, helping you discover your true calling and fulfill your soul’s purpose. Aligning with your true life purpose and shedding the expectations of others is exactly what happens when I walk through your stars the minute you’re born to download your everything. Simply, every single thing. You are seen, heard and known at the soul level, perhaps for the first time in your life, and that becomes the blueprint of opening you to your full potential. It’s magical with each and every client. I pinch myself being able to do this work. It’s more than a passion, it’s a calling.

Short of coming into the reading room with me, I’ve developed a 12-question quiz based on the astrological archetypes to give you guidance on what and how your energies work to align you with your purpose. When you unlock your authentic leadership potential, you automatically inspire others to follow their own cosmic path. 

To find your Intuitive Success Type, take the quiz here. You’ll receive an 11-page report based on your type, be offered free access to my 8-minute webinar for 3 Secrets to Your Success and be given bonus tips and tools. You’ll also be given the link to follow me on YouTube and be offered a free 15-minute strategy call with me. That’s it. No hype. Just value. 

  1. Navigate Market Trends and Seize Cosmic Opportunities

In the fast-paced business world, staying ahead of the curve is vital. Astrology provides you with a unique lens to understand market cycles, consumer behaviors and emerging trends. By integrating astrological insights into your strategy, you gain a competitive edge, seizing cosmic opportunities and making strategic moves at precisely the right time.

This is critical, AND it’s the very reason I offer a 12-month Rich and Powerful Leaders stepping stone program for only $297 per month. I feel it’s vital to have an astrologer in your back pocket and this is my way of making it easy and accessible to everyone. No matter how busy your schedule, you have 2-hours every month to find out what’s happening in the cosmos,  to gain valuable insights into your own energies and to learn savvy business tools. Having this information at your fingertips is pure gold.

You can also read the gushing for yourself. 😘 Join us, because when your mind knows what’s happening, it can relax and chill, allowing you to grow gracefully and easily.

  1. Cultivate Self-Awareness and Foster Personal Growth

Running a business is not just about external success; it’s also a journey of personal growth and self-discovery. Astrology acts as a mirror, reflecting your innermost essence and illuminating areas for growth. 

Learning more about yourself is one of the most fun things to do, yet it requires strength and fortitude. You uncover aspects that are positive and heartfelt and others that are less favorable. However, moving into wholeness is required, especially for leaders at this time. The new way of leading dives deeply into the feminine ancient wisdom as well as incorporating the masculine logical skills. 

Authentic leadership is just that – authentically revealing you to yourself and others. With this level of authenticity, vulnerabilities emerge. 

In reaching for your full potential, it’s better to have support and guidance than trying to do it on your own. The stars want you to know, they’re here for you. As am I. 

It’s time to embrace this opportunity for self-awareness to uncover your strengths and nurture your potential. Allowing the stars to propel your personal growth elevates your entrepreneurial journey and makes it more fun!

By blending the stars with your business strategy, you embark on a transformational path that transcends the ordinary. It’s about welcoming the mystical energy of the cosmos, developing your intuition and leading with authenticity and purpose. The stars are aligning for you, visionary business leader. Let’s embrace the cosmic dance together and watch your business soar to unimaginable heights. Your destiny awaits!
