The main topic of November 2024 is the US presidential election. Joe Biden's chances are by definition small, because even voters are against him: in the spring of 2023, the majority of Americans voted against his candidacy, considering him too old. Donald Trump's last defeat occurred during Mars retrograde, and I think that's a strong argument against him becoming president again. But it seems that this factor won't outweigh Trump's popularity, and there is no other worthy candidate. Everything can change only under sudden force majeure circumstances. The upcoming elections are expected to be truly unprecedented. Let's look at what is special about it and make a forecast for the candidates.

Retrograde truly works wonders. According to the laws of nature, planets of Solar system move in their orbit at the same speed. But if you look at them from the Earth, then their movement ceases to be uniform.

Globally and personally, Mars retrograde works differently. In political terms, it always entails a wave of aggression, because retro period is quite long (almost 2.5 months) and it's usually accompanied by unfavorable Mars transits to giant planets. The entire critical mass, accumulated earlier in the form of popular unrest and unfair political decisions, piles on society during this period, aggravating conflicts and creating an excuse for revenge and bloodshed. But in your personal life, retro-Mars can manifest itself in a very positive way: if a month earlier it already had good aspects with your natal chart, they will repeat again via long-term favorable trends. See the gallery for general recommendations for a Mars retrograde period.

"Mercury Retrograde" is the most common phrases in astrology (except for Full Moon and eclipses), because this phenomenon occurs 3-4 times a year. It's usually associated with any horror stories and incidents that occur in our lives. However, the action of retro-Mercury is rather specific than negative, it may be very positive. I have repeatedly covered the topic of Mercury retrograde in my publications (links below), and I have put all the information together in this article. You will find the pros and cons in the gallery.

Since 2013, I've been officially working as a professional astrologer in the Russian-speaking space. And although my site is in Russian, it's often visited by users of other Slavic nationalities, for example, residents of Eastern Europe. Of course, I always wanted to expand the scope of my broadcast, and in 2020 I started creating the English version of my site. This is a very time-consuming task, because by that time I had created a lot of content, and most importantly, I had created a huge database of astrological interpretations, which I use in natal, couples and prognostic consultations. Google Translate has made my task a bit easier, and I hope you will understand my English interpretations.
