USA PRESIDENTIAL RACE 2024 DONALD TRUMP.VS. KAMALA HARRIS

 

BACKGROUND TO USA ELECTIONS

American citizens will be casting their vote on November 5th. 2024. This would be the popular vote. Although most people around the world, assume that this vote will determine who the next President will be, it technically does not.  It is really a vote for the state elector, who will cast their vote in the Electoral College on December 17th, .2024. The Electoral College is made up of 538 electors. This number is equal to the total voting membership of the US Congress – 435 House Representatives, 100 Senators and 3 electors of the District of Columbia. The candidate who receives at least 270 Electoral College votes becomes the next president.   There are issues that could happen in between, such as disputes, recounts, faithless electors ( electors who ultimately vote for someone other than for whom they pledged), etc. It could involve the courts depending on how serious it is.  This includes even the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS).  Once all is settled, the President will be decided, and the inauguration of the new President will take place on January 20th, 2025.

The following is a horoscopic analysis of the two candidates to be the President of the USA, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.  The first is a look at the natal chart to see if their given birth time matches the known careers of each candidate.  If there is a discrepancy, then the birth time will need to be rectified to get the correct horoscope.  Finally, the timing for each candidate will be examined, from the dates of popular vote, the Electoral College vote, and right up to the Inauguration.  This bears in mind that that the different dates can give different outcomes.

With Saturn ruling the 7th house, partnerships, marriage, and one-on-one relationships are highlighted. The aspect to the 1st house suggests that relationships have a significant impact on the individual's self-identity and personal development.

KAMALA HARRIS

 

Kamala Harris’s natal horoscope needs to be assessed to determine if it is indeed her correct horoscope as it is very cuspal.  This is despite the Rodden rating of AA given to her horoscope by Astro.com, which is a repository of astrological birth charts.  A Rodden rating of AA, means that this is a very accurate birth record given that the birth certificate is in hand.  However, it should be born in mind that this not be the case. Analog clocks and watches were used in the 1960’s, and may not have been accurately set to reflect the correct time. So, it is entirely possible that mistakes could have been made.

Kamala Harris was born at 9.28 pm 20^th October 1964 in Oakland, California, USA according to her birth certificate.  However, her ascendant at 0°10' Gemini in Vedic sideral astrology, using a Fagan Bradley ayanamsa, is very cuspal. A four-minute difference in her birth time would mean that her Ascendant would shift from Gemini to Taurus. This would give an entirely different reading for Kamala as the Ascendant marks the 1^st house, from which all other houses are read.  Thus, it is imperative that the correct Ascendant is determined before proceeding onto any readings on the 2024 Presidential election, for which she is a candidate.    

 

Kamala’s horoscopes with the Gemini (see Chart 2) and Taurus (See Chart 3) Ascendants must be tested against known facets in her life to see which fits her most accurately.

Chart 5: Kamala Harris Gemini Ascendant

Chart 6: Kamala Harris Taurus Ascendant

One of many facets of Kamala Harris’s life that can be tested is her career, which is as follows;

• Deputy District Attorney, Alameda County, California: 1990–1998
• Managing Attorney, San Francisco District Attorney's Office: 1998–2000
• Chief of the Community and Neighborhood Division, San Francisco City Attorney's Office: 2000–2004
• District Attorney of San Francisco: 2004–2011
• Attorney General of California: 2011–2017
• United States Senator from California: 2017–2021
• Vice President of the United States: 2021–present

Can any of the above jobs be seen using either the Gemini Ascendant as per her birth certificate or a rectified Taurus Ascendant?  Careers are seen through the 10th house.

Career (10^th house) using Gemini Ascendant

With a Gemini ascendant, Kamala’s 10^th house has no occupants nor aspects.  However, in terms of rulerships, her Jupiter ruler of the 10^th house, has gone to the 11^th house [Jupiter (10/11)], while her Neptune, the ruler of her10th house has gone to her 3^rd house [Neptune (10/3)].

The sort of careers that Kamala could possibly pursue with a Jupiter (10/11) are humanitarian work, politics & social activism, education & academia, and finance & investment

The sort of careers that Kamala could possibly pursue with a Neptune (10/3) are writing & publishing, arts & entertainment, spiritual & healing professions, public relations and marketing,

The Gemini Ascendant does not fit Kamala Harris’s known career.

Career (10^th house) using Taurus Ascendant

With a Taurus ascendant, Kamala’s 10^th house has a Saturn Rx (9, 10/10) as the occupant.  In terms of rulerships she has Saturn Rx (10/10) and Uranus (1/4).  Her aspects to her 10^th house are Uranus (10/A10), Pluto (7/A10), and Venus (1,6/A10). Her Vedic special aspects is Mars (7,10/SA 10).

Potential as a Lawyer or Public Prosecutor:

Saturn in the 10th House: Saturn's placement in the 10th house emphasizes discipline, responsibility, and a structured approach, which are crucial traits for a legal profession. It indicates a career that involves significant commitment and a methodical approach.

·        

Potential as a Senator and as Vice-President of the USA:

Discipline and Responsibility (Saturn): The disciplined and responsible nature suggested by Saturn in the 10th house is foundational for a high-stakes leadership role like that of a Vice President.  In fact, the Vedic astrologer, James Braha citing ancient Hindu scriptures, says that Saturn in the 10th house makes the person the “leader of the village”.  It gives the person great ambition, leadership ability, power, and authority. 

Visionary and Progressive (Uranus): The innovative and progressive tendencies from Uranus aspects indicate the ability to lead with vision and adaptability, crucial for modern leadership.

The above is a confirmation that Kamala Harris has a Taurus Ascendant

 Dancing To Drumbeats

Aside from career, the 10^th house also shows how a person is seen publicly.  Kamala’s Saturn in placed in10th house Dhanishtha nakshatra (lunar mansion), using the Taurus Ascendant. Dhanishtha is known for music and dancing.  Also, one of symbols of Dhanishtha is a drum called a damaru.  Kamala Harris is known to dance to the drum beat in public, which is a very 10th house affair

This is another confirmation that the Taurus Ascendant works for Kamala Harris.  The rectified Taurus chart will thus be selected for Kamala Harris who was formally chosen on Friday 2^nd August 2024 as the Democratic nominee for the US Presidential election 2024

KAMALA HARRIS – POPULAR VOTE (NOVEMBER 5^TH, 2024)

The planetary transits and the planetary periods for Kamala Harris rectified chart are shown for Election Day on November 5^th, 2024 in Chart 7 below.

Chart 7:  Kamala Harris on Election Day

1^st House

Transit Uranus Rx (10/1)

Uranus is often associated with innovation, originality, and unconventional thinking, which makes it a significant planet in astrology when it comes to pioneers and trailblazers. It represents sudden insights, breakthroughs, and a desire to push boundaries. People with strong Uranian influences in their charts are often seen as trendsetters or individuals who challenge the status quo.

As the ruler of 10^th house (career, public reputation), would have a great impact on Kamala. This combination can bestow on Kamala a successful career.  She would be respected, famous, and even a pioneer in the field.

Transit Jupiter Rx (8,11/10)

Jupiter ruling the 8^th house and transiting the 10^th house will give financial gains through career.  It would involve shared resources and investments. Opportunities for growth could come through professional partnerships or collaborations. In short, other peoples money. It could also give challenges in fulfilling desires and ambitions.

Jupiter as the ruler of the 11^th house, and transiting through the 10^th house will give networking and professional opportunities.  These contacts might offer support or open doors for new opportunities. The 11^th house is associated with long-term aspirations and goals. Jupiter’s influence can help Kamala make significant progress towards her professional ambitions, potentially achieving milestones that you have been working towards for a long time.

10^th House

Transit Saturn (9,10/10)

The transiting Saturn as the ruler of the 10^th house transiting its own 10^th house, means that the 10^th house is protected. In fact, Kamala would have experienced a Saturn return.  This has a powerful influence on the 10^th house. 

Saturn’s rule over the 10^th house emphasizes long-term planning and the importance of building a stable and enduring career. Saturn’s energy can bring challenges and obstacles, but these are typically opportunities for growth and maturity. There’s a focus on how Kamala is perceived by others and the legacy she builds.  This placement can drive a desire to maintain a respectable public image and to be seen as reliable and competent.

Saturn’s rule over the 9^th house often suggests a serious and disciplined approach to learning. This placement can indicate a thoughtful and methodical approach to philosophy, ethics, and belief systems. She has a well-structured personal philosophy or worldview, and her beliefs might be grounded in practical, real-world experience rather than abstract ideas. The 9^th house also relates to legal issues and ethics. With Saturn’s influence, Kamala will take a meticulous approach to legal matters or feel a strong sense of duty regarding ethical considerations. She will be drawn to roles that involve legal, regulatory, or ethical responsibilities. Saturn’s influence might make long-distance travel more purposeful and planned. Saturn’s presence here might encourage a more serious engagement with different cultures and global perspectives. She will have a disciplined approach to understanding and integrating different cultural or international viewpoints into your life.

KAMALA HARRIS – ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTE (DECEMBER 17, 2024)

Chart 8 : Kamala Harris on the day of the Electoral College vote

 

The key change is that Uranus has gone retrograde from Kamala’s 1st house to her 12th house, as shown in Chart 8.  Thus, Uranus Rx (10/T12).  While this can indicate a sudden loss of career, it can also indicate hidden factors or issues affecting her career, which come to light during this transit.  It could mean secret enemies since this is associated with the 12^th house.  This retrograde transit Uranus also aspects the 6^th house [Uranus R (10/A6)].  Here the 6^th house could represent known enemies.  It may represent some issue concerning the electoral vote.

 

Mars too has gone retrograde during this electorate vote. Here Mars Rx (4,9/T3) could raise legal issues or conflicts related to communication or documentation. 

 

Moon (3/T3) brings a focus on communication and relationships with Kamala’s immediate environment. It may involve Kamala’s emotions, as well as that of the common people. 

 

There is a loose conjunction between the Moon 1°11'55" and Mars Rx 10°17'45", which could mean some anger amongst the general public. 

 

The saving grace comes from Kamala’s Saturn transit, which is making a return to her 10^th house.  This mean that her career is protected.

Kamala is running Rahu- Jupiter- Saturn- Mercury (2-12-10-6).  It would mean that finances are activated, as well as her career.  Secret enemies as well as open enemies also come to the fore during this time frame.

KAMALA HARRIS –  INAUGURATION (JAN 20, 2025)

Chart 9 : Kamala Harris on the day of the Inauguration

The key changes on inauguration day is that Mars is now direct from the earlier retrograde as shown in Chart 9. Here, Mars (4,9/T2). This transit may bring Kamala a period where she re-examine her financial situation in light of her home life and beliefs.  It is also a period could also see heightened tension in areas related to the common people,  land, legal or religious matters, with the potential for conflicts or disruptions that require careful handling.

Moon (3/T5) could mean that Kamala feels a strong urge to express her emotions through creative outlets. Writing, or other forms of self-expression could become more important, possibly as a way to communicate her feelings.  On the other hand, the common people, and women in particular,  would communicate that pleasure.

Kamala is running a Rahu-Venus-Mars-Rahu (2-4-3-2) planetary period.  This means finances, the home, the common people, and communications is all highlighted.

CONCLUSION

While Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have powerful horoscopes, the timing favors Kamala. This is particularly so as her career (10^th house) and self (1^st house) are interconnected through the transit Uranus Rx (10/1) during the Election Day. She will face challenges during the Electoral College vote.  However, she will overcome this as her her transiting Saturn (9,10/10) would have done a return to her natal Saturn, which is also in the 10^th house. Such a person will have authority and leadership.  The person will be famous, and will receive honors from government. Hindu scriptures cite that such a person will be the “leader of the village”. In short the planets will  bestow upon Kamala the Presidency of the USA.  

ICC prosecutor seeks arrest of Israeli and Hamas leaders

Statement of ICC Prosecutor Karim A.A. Khan KC:

Based on the evidence collected and examined by my Office, I have reasonable grounds to believe that Benjamin NETANYAHU, the Prime Minister of Israel, and Yoav GALLANT, the Minister of Defence of Israel, bear criminal responsibility for the following war crimes and crimes against humanity committed on the territory of the State of Palestine (in the Gaza Strip) from at least 8 October 2023:

- Starvation of civilians as a method of warfare, a war crime contrary to article 8(2)(b)(xxv) of the Statute;

- Wilfully causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or health contrary to article 8(2)(a)(ii), or cruel treatment as a war crime contrary to article 8(2)(c)(i);

- Wilful killing contrary to article 8(2)(a)(i), or murder as a war crime contrary to article 8(2)(c)(i);

- Intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population as a war crime contrary to articles 8(2)(b)(i) and 8(2)(e)(i);

- Extermination and/or murder contrary to articles 7(1)(b) and 7(1)(a), including in the context of deaths caused by starvation, as a crime against humanity;

- Persecution as a crime against humanity contrary to article 7(1)(h);

Other inhumane acts as crimes against humanity contrary to article 7(1)(k).

PLANETS CONSPIRING TO CHARGE NETANYAHU IN THE INTERNATION CRIMINAL COURT (ICC)

 

Benjamin Netanyahu was born on 10.30 am 21^st October, 1949 at Tel Aviv, Israel.

From his natal chart, it can be seen that his Uranus, the ruler of his 4th house is placed in his 8th house.  Uranus stands for something sudden and unexpected.  The 8th house refers to legal issues.  The 4th house refers to land, but within the context of what's happening, it could refer to the occupation of Gazan territory.

Netanyahu has the Sun, ruler of the 9th house in his 12th house.  It indicates an unpopular leader. Someone who may fall from grace, if not his office.

In terms of planetary periods (dasa bhukti), he is running Mercury-Saturn-Moon-Ketu-Mercury at the time of writing.  This is not good for him, given that the Saturn in his natal chart is triggered.  It also so happens that his Saturn, the ruler of his 3rd and 4th house is throwing a special aspect on his 12th house.  It has a number of meanings including a long jail time.

Netanyahu’s astrocartography chart shows his Mars line goes through Germany. It is not too far from Holland.  This is where the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is located. Mars would cause him and enormous amount of tension.

In terms of transit, Mars (1,6) is currently transiting Netanyahu's 5th house.

However, that transiting Mars (1,6) throws a special aspect on to Netanyahu's 8th house, 11th house, and 12th.  Here,  the 1^st house refers to the self, the 6^th house refers to legal issues. The 8^th house refers to losses, 12^th house refers to jail, while the 11^th house refers to friends. 

It is quite possible that Netanyahu will be charged by the ICC.  His friends may try to save him. In fact, his minor subperiods are being triggered in the 11^th house. Moon (9/11), here his friends may try to nurture him and take care of him.  Mercury (8,11/11) in indicates some protection from legal issues from friends.  Ketu (1, 6/11) indicates some cutting and enemies amongst friends.  While it is possible that his friends will try to help him, it also possible that some of his friends may decide that he is too much of a liability, and let him be charged.

 

 

President Biden’s Mars line: A showdown with Iran?

President Biden has given his full and unwavering support to Israel following Hamas’s attack on 7^th October 2023.  Following this, he ordered two aircraft carrier strike force groups to go to the Mediterranean, in order to act as a deterrent against Iranian-backed militia groups and to Iran itself from entering the war.  He has also sent a submarine, which is currently in the Persian Gulf, as a warning to Iran.  

Biden secured USD 14.3 billion from Congress to aid Israel.  This includes money for its air and missile defense., while bolstering the security of their embassies in the region [1]. 

Biden’s unwavering support for Israel has caused him to dismiss reports on the number of deaths, saying that he did not trust these numbers as they were from Hamas [2].  That said, the United Nations says that Gaza Health Ministry death tolls were credible [3].

In the meantime, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) has brought Gaza to near apocalyptic proportions in terms of death and destruction.   The casualties have risen sharply. Hospitals have not been spared. It has reached a point where hospitals are unable to function, with bombs going off near the hospital, with sniper fire taking place [4].

Israel has rejected all calls for a ceasefire [5], but has agreed to a humanitarian pause.  These humanitarian pauses have been criticized roundly by human rights groups [6].

In the meantime, the intensity of fighting between the Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Israel has increased [7].  Also, Iranian backed militia groups have attacked American bases in Iraq and Syria, which in turn has resulted in American counter strikes [8].  While all this was going on, the Iranian-backed Houthi militia from Yemen, shot down an American Reaper drone [9].

It is only now that Biden administration officials have expressed concern that Israel is looking to provoke Hezbollah as a pretext for a wider war in Lebanon.  This could draw in the U.S. [10]. Needless to say, it could draw in Iran as well.

Meanwhile, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution that calls for America to use 'all means necessary" to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons [2].

The Mars line on President Bidens Astrocartography map

Jim Lewis, the American astrologer, developed Astrocartography in the late 1970’s.  It is a way of determining planetary influences in space, instead of time. In short, astrocartography shows the planetary influence on a person in any area of the world, instead of a horoscope, which is based on time.

Jim Lewis wrote that a “…president’s Mars line should show where the society he led or presently leads is most apt to wage war” [5]. He illustrated his point with past presidents who were involved in wars such as Franklin D, Roosevelt, Harry Truman, and others.

The following astrocartography map (See Fig 1} was generated based President Joe Biden birth details– 8.30am 20^th November 1942, Scranton, Pennsylvania, USA. 

Biden’s Mars line, which is shown in red on the astrocartography map below, runs right through Tehran, Iran, and is an indication of tension, conflicts, or even a war.

Fig 1: Joe Biden’s astrocartography map

In fact, Biden’s Mars line passes through other conflict areas where he has been involved.  This includes Russia, which is involved in the ongoing Russo-Ukraine war. It also includes Azerbajian, which is involved in a war with Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh.  It even includes Oman, where there is tension over China’s plans to establish a naval base.  It should be noted that Oman’s neighbor, Yemen, is home to the Houthis, which is at war with Israel.

Fig 2: Joe Biden’s natal horoscope

The effects of the Mars line can be seen from Joe Biden’s natal horoscope as shown in Fig 2.  Although it is standard practice to read this using astrological keywords used in personal astrology, I find that it is more appropriate to use astrological keywords associated with mundane astrology in the case of leaders.

Biden’s natal Mars, is the ruler of the 1st and 6th house, and is placed in the 12th house. In mundane astrology Mars is associated with the military and wars.  The 1st house is associated with the country (U.S.) and its inhabitants.  The 6th house is associated with the armed forces and public health. Finally, the 12 house is associated with spies amongst other things.

In Vedic astrology, Mars throws special aspects.  Thus Mars, the ruler of the 1st and 6th house will throw special aspects on the 3rd House (transportation and communications) , 6th house (military and public health), and 7th house (foreign relations). Thus, Biden Mars line will be activated in all the countries it crosses, depending on timing. 

The effects of planetary transits will be more noticeable when it coincides with the planetary periods. Biden is currently running a Saturn-Saturn-Venus planetary period (Dasa Bhukti Antara) at the time of writing.  This means that his 1st house and 7th houses are currently activated.  Again, using mundane astrology keywords, the 1st house, which refers to the U.S. and its citizens, is activated.  The 7th house, which refers to relations with other countries, whether friendly or hostile, is also activated. 

Biden’s transiting Mars,  which is the ruler of the 1st and 6th house is in his 12th Libra on the day of the New Moon on 13th November 2023. This transiting Mars will be shifting to his 1st house Scorpio on the day of the Full Moon on 27th November 2023.  As mentioned earlier, his 1st house is already activated as per the planetary periods.  That same transiting Mars will be looking at his 7th house.  Whatever happens, on 27th November 2023, will be very intense given that Mars is in Scorpio, and will involve his country and foreign relations, and even war.
