Astrology and the Primary Season [View All]

[ccpup]

I had some free time today and was curious about the SP and SA action in the top three candidate's charts, so I took a look and this is what I found:

Hillary's SP Sun (currently at 03Cap08) is gearing up for a waxing Trine with her 04Virgo35 MC, and will be sitting at 04Cap12 on Inauguration Day.

In addition to that, her SA Jupiter=Sun begins in late August 2008 and sits at 2Aqu14 on Election Day, just minutes from being exact with her 02Scorpio18 Sun.

But before all of that, starting in February of 2008 — and continuing until October 2011 — Tr. Pluto will begin passing back and forth sextile her Sun and then move on to Trine her MC. Being the heaviest of planets, Pluto touching one's Sun is usually nothing to sneeze at and even the sextiles carry interesting weight.

Also, that Tr. Pluto will be conjunct her SP Mercury — a meeting started in March 2004 — a few times and then touch her SP Sun by conjunction beginning in 2010.

What’s interesting with Tr. Pluto now is that he first conjuncted her SP Jupiter in February 2000 after her Election to the Senate, made it’s second pass in December 2000 and finished up it’s journey of that SP Jupiter with a station from August through October of 2001. Then Tr. Pluto started following her SP Mercury.

In other words, that Tr. Pluto has been on her SP Mercury since 2004 and is hanging in until at least 2010 joining the transits to her N. Sun and MC I mentioned above.

Taking a look at Obama’s chart, not only does Tr. Saturn conjunct his Pluto (via retrograde) and Part of Fortune around Tsunami Tuesday, it then — in mid-March — goes on to inconjunct his SP Moon (which is conjunct his N. Jupiter for much of of this month) before turning direct and meeting his N. Pluto as well as his SP Pluto by conjunction in early August and his SP Neptune (by sextile) in mid-August.

During mid-July until mid-August, his SP Moon is square his N. Neptune and then squares his SP Neptune until early September, coinciding with the aforementioned Saturn transits to his Pluto, SP Pluto and SP Neptune.

Also, Tr. Pluto moves into opposition with his N. Venus in early-March and remains there until April.

That Tr. Pluto has been in a Square with Obama’s SP Sun since March 2005 and made it’s last pass last month, November 2007. It moves within orb in the early part of 2008 with Pluto's brief retro back into Sag, though without hitting the SP Sun’s degree, so shouldn’t be ruled out.

His SA Venus=Asc begins in September 08, but doesn’t become exact until mid-March and SA Mars=Neptune in late September 08 becoming exact in mid-May 09. In April 08, the SP Moon passes over his IC.

The SA Venus is approaching his MC, but doesn’t begin it’s passage over it until 2011.

For Edwards, I haven't had as much free time to work on his chart as I have the others, but I DID find something very, very interesting I thought I'd share.

Edwards is VERY happy (unrealistically and abundantly so?) with Tr. Venus opp his Moon and Jupiter — as well as his SP Moon conjunct the natal conjunction of these two — in the next couple days, after the Caucus today. But during the NH race, Tr. Moon moves over his Chiron that day followed by Tr. Sun a day or two later.

What’s fascinating — to me, at least — is that both Obama and Edwards have SP Moon conjunct N. Jupiter (Obama until January 19th and Edwards beginning Feb 8th until March 2nd). As Edwards' SP Moon leaves the "good times" feel of Jupiter in March -- before meeting by square his SP Uranus at the end of March --, Obama’s just left the experience of his SP Moon inconjunct N. Venus and Opp to his N. Mercury. That SP Moon then gets hit by inconjunct from Tr. Saturn in March and then again for the full first half of August as it also conjuncts his SP Pluto.

(What's Hillary’s SP Moon up to? It first squares her SA Mars in early March, makes a Trine to her N. Neptune in June and then a Trine to her SP Neptune in July before moving to opp her SP Jupiter in late August — sextile her N.Pluto/Mars soon thereafter. At the same time this SP Jupiter is moving to trine her N. Pluto/Mars conjunction)

There's a lot more I didn't cover -- Obama looks popular and chatty during Convention Time --, but I thought I'd offer what I could for those interested.
