the astrology of the united states 2024 election | part II - kamala harris, juno, hopi, the karma of America's roots and maybe the part where 'kill all the buffalo to kill all the indians' and the trail of tears comes back around to be healed



Something that it pays to keep in mind, if only to stay sane in difficult, chaotic or uncertain times is that  whether we are dealing with personal or collective situations - WE ARE NEVER JUST AT THE BEGINNING. We are always in the middle. Between the past and the future. There are stories older than we are. Even stories whose beginnings have been lost to time. Have faith that things are unfolding as they need to ....


We looked at Trump in Part I HERE. Trump's natal chart/contract/blueprint - which I have talked about many times - has a Finger of God and he was born on an Eclipse. I can't really overstate his IMPORTANCE and it seems that he can't either :) Win or lose. Live or die. He will have his impact. Trump's progressed chart has a mega-pile of planets in his 12th house of endings, what is behind him and what is done behind his back. Alot of this finishing up of the old world is entangled in his story. Something in us will finish as he does. He is quite literally a human stand-in/significator for Mars, Uranus and Apollo, a triple threat - he should never be underestimated. 


Now, let's turn our attention to Kamala Harris. 


Kamala was also born on a Full Moon. Her Moon wasn't an Eclipse, BUT the North Node of that Moon was exact on her ascendent when she was born. Crazy exact within seconds. Trump has a tight Uranus/North Node/Sun and Harris has a tight Uranus/Pluto/Venus. Trump's pile-up is 10th house - visible/public. Hers is 4th house - inner/home. I think this is kind of a man/woman thing. A masculine external power thing vs a feminine internal power thing. She shouldn't be underestimated either. 


Kamala has a 21 degree Mars in Leo. A royal Mars, certainly, but 21 degrees is the number next to power (next to the powerful 22). Can it be powerful on its own? Her 21 degree Mars made me go looking for Kamala's natal Juno (the partner) and I found her tightly conjunct Harris's natal Karma. She is also tightly conjunct Biden's Juno and the United States Ascendent and more widely conjunct the Great Attractor near the middle of Sagittarius. The Great Attractor is probably the biggest thing in the Universe with mega, and unimaginable, gravitational forces. It takes our past and spins it in front of us, making it APPEAR to be our future. It's invisible to us, but also confuses us about what is real.


Kamala's progressed Juno is EXACTLY conjunct her progressed Sun on the Galactic Center. The Galactic Center is the black hole/homing signal at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. 


So, natally (her blueprint, contract, chart) she has Juno conjunct the Great Attractor (and conjunct the United States ascendent and Joe Biden's Juno) and in her progressed chart Juno - the partner - is exactly conjunct her Sun on the Galactic Center AND transiting Juno is on her Sun right now and will be on her Sun and EXACT on Election Day. Juno can almost certainly be used as a stand-in for Harris. 


We go into this election with Mars (Trump, Mars conjunct Ascendent) opposing Pluto (the powers that oppose Trump and that want to stay 'being alive' in Capricorn) with both squaring Juno - Kamala Harris. 


Typically squares to Juno require us to question old bargains/to think about and work through via tense and challenging situations what power is, what we will do to stay in power or stay connected to power. I think many people will be changing parties during this election, and maybe their minds in the voting booth. 


Like Trump, Kamala's birth chart has powerful connections to the United States chart. I won't go into them here to save time, but she has them as well as strong connections to Donald Trump. They have very old and powerful connections. 


Her campaign has strongly focused on abortion rights (and also focused on being anti-Trump and Trump's flaws) and one of the things I have connected Black Moon Lilith to, is abortion (a woman's right to choose herself above everything, even her offspring). On Election Day transiting Black Moon Lilith is exactly conjunct the United States 10th house natal Saturn (authority, responsibility, limits) in Libra (women). This is also the degree of Trump's natal Chiron/wound. Black Moon Lilith on Election Day tightly sextiles the United States natal Sun. It looks like this strategy will hit its mark.


Harris's natal Black Moon Lilith opposes her powerful 'Pandora/Hopi/Aries point in Cancer' conjunction. Let's look at that. 


The first time we talked about Kamala Harris was HERE. I noticed asteroid Pandora because Pluto was exact on Harris's natal Pandora on Election Day 2020 and I had been looking at the United States natal Pandora/Wuhan/Algol conjunction for months because of covid. So, on the one hand this was in the middle of the pandemic (which surely connects to the Pandora story) and on the other hand Pandora was "the first woman" in mythology. I thought this was important as Kamala was running for first female vice-president, but also thought it could indicate something even bigger later - Harris becoming the first woman president. I missed something back then with my eyes on Pandora. I missed that Kamala's 0 degree Cancer Aries point was also the home of asteroid Hopi. Hopi here would be about the "hope left in the box" part of Pandora's story certainly, but also because nothing in astrology is ever just one thing - asteroid Hopi is a powerful significator/stand in for Native American energy. 


Kamala's life has a backstory about getting back what was taken from her - with that 12th house retrograde Jupiter in Taurus - or receiving in this life what she has earned in a previous life. 


I believe her chart connects to a past-life as a powerful Native American Chief and medicine man and also to the energy of the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The Act's North Node (fate) on her Pluto, Moon on her Mars, Mars on her Saturn/MC, Mercury on her Ascendent. In Kamala Harris - and through President Biden - some very old chickens have come home to roost. 


On May 28, 1830, President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act.


(this is what it was called and words matter and words are s-p-e-l-l-s. Native Americans were called Indians for hundreds of years in the United States, and, I believe this pulls Kamala's Indian heritage into the mix, too. Energizes it and her. This also energizes, Vance's wife Usha.


It was designed to clear a path for American expansion after 200 years of Indian wars. This Act led to the 5000 mile long 'trail of tears' journey for Native Americans and its bloody aftermath.


Asteroid Hopi and the planet Pluto - death, power, transformation - were EXACTLY TO THE SECOND conjunct at 9 degrees and 18 seconds of Aries as President Andrew Jackson signed that Act. 


And, Mars, ruler of Aries, was tightly conjunct Juno. 


Move ahead almost 200 years and 9 degrees Aries was the degree of the North Node of Fate on July 21, 2024 when Biden announced his intention to not run again (remember asteroid Hopi is exactly conjunct Biden's chart ruling Jupiter at 25 Cancer which is where Mars will be retrograding on Inauguration Day). His announcement paved the way for Harris to run. Transiting asteroid Hopi, as Biden made his decision, was at 8 degrees Sagittarius - exactly conjunct Harris's natal Juno. 


(As I write this post, Biden is giving a speech and publicly apologizing to Native Americans for the public boarding school system - an apology 150 years coming! We can no longer make our roots invisible and still expect to make use of them to grow and thrive. So beautiful to me that President Biden, who spent many weeks with Neptune dissolving his own roots has made this connection now for all of us.)


Asteroid Hopi was discovered in Libra on June 14, 1980 (this was Trump's birthday and the summer he first came to national prominence with his real estate investing, BTW Trump has a natal Hopi on the Great Attractor/gravitational force, conjunct Harris's Juno and tightly opposing his own natal Uranus). This was the day when Kamala was 16 years old with the North Node of Fate EXACT on her natal Mars, the Sun and Venus tightly conjunct her Ascendent. The day Juno was conjunct the United States natal Hopi and Pluto conjunct the United States natal Juno. It might be crazy to think all this was coming together for Kamala and Donald and the United States that long ago, but maybe equally crazy to think that it wasn't. Being Vice-President of the United States and potentially President is a pretty big deal and no matter what we tell our children - everyone can't do it. 


I will tie this all together in the final post about what I think could happen. 


Just as Apollo and Phaeton and Zeus are important elements of Trump's story - Juno, Hopi, Black Moon Lilith and Pandora have important connections to Harris's. And, of course, almost like two sides of the same coin each story lines up with the other in intimate ways. They are not the only stories their charts are telling, but I think they could be the stories most worth telling right now. 


And, of course, I could certainly be wrong :) this is nothing more than one person looking through one set of eyes at patterns and archetypes and telling a story. 


We will come into the election off a volatile and dangerous Mars/Pluto opposition exact in the days running up to the election. This is the God of War vs the God of Death, but this is also Trump/Mars vs the powers that be/Pluto - squaring Juno - Harris. 


On Election Day, November 5th, Pluto is still in Capricorn, but Mars breaks out of the opposition to Pluto (by sign) and moves into Leo just as Juno breaks out of her square to Pluto (by sign) and moves into Scorpio. 


Does it mean anything that in Scorpio, Juno is now answering to a strong Mars in Leo - YES.  Both Trump and Harris have natal Mars in Leo, but remember Trump is playing Mars here. Does this give him an advantage? Probably, yes. 


As the people go to the polls both Mars and Juno move into new signs - with Juno now answering to Mars, leaving Pluto in Capricorn - authority/power/government OUT OF THE PICTURE. 


With Pluto out of the picture - now we have Mars (Trump) in Leo and Juno (Harris) in Scorpio, squaring each other. 


This is masculine fixed fire, passion, ego, courage, the center stage VS feminine fixed water, intensity, intuition, ambition, manipulation, intelligence, behind the scenes.


And BOTH Mars and Juno, both Trump and Harris, are in a challenging aspect with the 0 degree Aquarius (the people/the future) activated by Jupiter and Saturn at the end of 2020 when the world started up again!


Neither candidate gives us an easy road to the Age of Aquarius energy. There is no candidate with an open, easy path because there is NO OPEN, EASY PATH for us. The collective simply does not line up with one. This is our karma, too.


Some odds and ends that Kamala has going for her - 1. the final aspect made before the election is a Sun/Saturn trine - Harris has this aspect natally and with Saturn on her midheaven and being arguably the more conservative candidate, this benefits her 2. we had that 'out of order' Pisces Eclipse, where the future was pulled into the present, in her 10th house last month and the North Node of Fate will soon be moving into Pisces, her 10th house of career and public life 3. Hopi exactly conjunct her South Node on Election Day IF this election is designed to pull her into office via that past life energy/karma 4. and IF that is the case transiting Saturn conjunct her 10th house Chiron on Election Day could help her as well (Trump has a natal Chiron exactly conjunct the U.S. natal Saturn - they have so many matching tit-for-tat energies it is really difficult to see who comes out on top) 5. Venus/Saturn on her Chiron on Inauguration Day, again if the karma is there for her 6. the United States natal Juno opposing the United States natal Chiron during the United States Chiron return indicating, among other things, Juno's importance here and Kamala is certainly playing Juno 7. her progressed Moon on the United States Sun 8. Transiting Juno tightly conjunct her Sun/Mercury in her 5th house of luck 9. her North Node Ascendent making her a natural significator for the North Node, the only thing that can Eclipse a Sun (Trump/Apollo) 10. the Full Moon on November 15th with Uranus, that can spin things around - tightly conjunct her natal Jupiter - 12th house/old past-life LUCK 


(this is also exact on Trump's midheaven, so more tit-for-tat - wth)


There is also a bit working against her including Trump's better aspects on Election Day and his own lucky streak.  


So much will depend on her own karma. If this was supposed to be just handed to her it would have been by Biden just stepping down during his term. Instead, even though she gets to start in the middle, and this has probably hurt her as much as helped her - she still has to compete/fight. And Trump is a good fighter. He has also worked incredibly hard and I am not sure if Harris has. I hope she is prepared and ready, if America's roots, and her own, land her a victory. 


And although Trump has better aspects on Election Day, if the Election is not decided that day, and it likely will not be, there are twists and turns coming that might work against him in the days and weeks that follow. 


It looks like, at least for now - we are headed for trouble. 


If we are - it is necessary trouble. 


We must stay with it. 


It can pay to think of the energies of aspects and transits as not only portals, but as PROCESSES.


And, it pays to keep in mind that even with all the rising feminine Goddess energies and relationship imbalances being worked through collectively now - all three outer planets change signs within the next year and all move into masculine signs - air and fire. 


The masculine energy is rising, too. It has to, because this has never been about the feminine energy taking over. 


We will be OK whoever wins this thing. 


xo all - back with the next post and we will tie this all together with some possibilities and what I think might happen - please excuse any typos or nonsense, too much to reread again :) I will do the New Moon post first.
