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.
Election dates:
- November 5, 2024 - popular vote
- December 17, 2024 - electoral College's decisive vote
- January 6, 2025 - electoral vote counting
- January 20, 2025 - inauguration of the new president
Crisis elections
- Mars retrograde with Pluto
- Mercury retrograde with Jupiter
- 1872 - democratic candidate Horace Greeley died before the electoral college voted; he wasn't among the leaders. Republican Ulysses Grant has started his second presidential term.
- 1968 - the elections took place in a tense domestic political situation:
- anti-war movement against the Vietnam War;
- murder of a human rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4, after which racial riots began in the country,
- murder of democratic candidate Robert Kennedy on June 5, instead of which Hubert Humphrey Jr. was a candidate, but the republican Richard Nixon won. The election was a turning point because since 1932 (the time of Roosevelt) only democrats have dominated the United States.
Donald Trump's Chances
A campaign has been launched against Trump: he is the only president in US history to be impeached twice. Trump's opponents can still harm him until July (during the primaries). And if he's removed from the election (due to criminal cases brought against him), the fight for the nomination will continue among other candidates registered in January.
There is no law in USA that prohibits a person accused of a criminal offense from participating in elections. There was a precedent: in 1920, the leader of the Socialist party Eugene Debs campaigned while in prison. But Trump faces a more serious charge - organizing the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021. According to the US Constitution, a candidate who participated in the insurrection cannot run for president. But the court is unlikely to ban him from running, - so as not to cause a rebellion in the country, because Trump is very popular.
Let's look at his forecast for 2024:
- Saturn (the planet of delays) loops around Trump's opponents' sector. Usually in a person's horoscope this means a long-term dispute with authoritative people who are older and have a high position in society. Biden can influence the fact that Trump won't be able to quickly get rid of the accusations. The legal battles will last at least until February 2025.
- Pluto's spring reversal (April-May 2024) falls on the cusp of the 6th astrological house; this is a sign of strict subordination, pressure from superiors, perhaps even imprisonment. The Pluto loop will end only in 2025.
- throughout the second half of the year, Uranus will be at the apex of the 10th house (until December 8), which means that Trump will fight for his goal in every conceivable and inconceivable way, not shying away from scandals and abuses;
- in August, September and November Jupiter is above his sector of achievements, which greatly increases his chances of success. At least among voters, he will gain an overwhelming majority of votes. From November 7 to 25, retrograde Jupiter will connect with natal Uranus, which is a good strengthening factor for influencing the Electoral College. In addition, he has a whole bunch of favorable transits in his forecast:
- from November 25 to December 21 Uranus + Saturn,
- from November 25, 2024 to February 2, 2025 Chiron + Jupiter,
- December 10-17 Jupiter retrograde + Chiron,
- from December 20, 2024 to January 9, 2025 Proserpina + Saturn. - Proserpine (planet of change) makes a loop over the apex of the 4th house (sector of homeland and place of residence) at the end of 2024 year. This means that a Trump will change his residence.
There may be problems with the electoral vote:
- from December 7-14, retrograde Jupiter will reach the opponents' sector (initiating big disputes),
- on December 13-15, transit Lilith will connect with natal Jupiter, which will have a negative impact on Trump's authority: someone will definitely put a stain on his reputation,
- on December 12-16, Mercury will form an unfavorable aspect to the middle of the 10th house, which means the candidate's status will be discussed in a negative way. On December 16, Mercury will have a reversal, just before the vote of the electors. Something out of the ordinary will happen these days;
- on December 26-31, retrograde Mars will be on the cusp of the 12th house, which means a conspiracy is expected in the male environment, and Trump will find out about it. Or he will start some kind of behind-the-scenes game, trying to influence the election process. This is an unfortunate period for his well-being, - someone may even threaten his life, start to pursue him or collect evidence against him.
- At the end of January, Pluto will again rise to the cusp of the 6th house:
- If Trump wins, he will be under intense pressure in his post, will start to defend US national interests and make crisis decisions,
- If his prosecutors are stronger, Trump will face trial and a restriction of freedom in January 2025.
