Tran­script of Radio Show: The USA and the 2020 Elec­tion – Kamala Har­ris & Joe Biden

In my last show back in July, I exam­ined the charts of Joe Biden and Don­ald Trump. Giv­en Biden’s choice of Kamala Har­ris as his run­ning mate, I thought we would look at her Astro­log­i­cal chart today. Back on July 20, 2019, I did a radio show that looked at Kamala Har­ris (and Eliz­a­beth War­ren) as part of my exam­i­na­tion of the major Demo­c­ra­t­ic can­di­dates for Pres­i­dent, (and you might want to lis­ten to that show as well). But now that Kamala has been select­ed as Joe Biden’s choice for Vice-Pres­i­dent, I thought it would be inter­est­ing and help­ful to take a deep­er look today.

The first thing that I look for in any chart is the over­all pat­tern. Astrologers have found that there are def­i­nite shapes of a chart where­by the plan­ets around the earth form a pat­tern. And indeed, there is a dis­tinc­tive pat­tern in Kamala’s chart, and It is called a See­saw or Hour­glass pat­tern. There are plan­ets on one side and plan­ets on anoth­er side, and there is a wide space on each side of the two groups with no plan­ets. This arrange­ment indi­cates a per­son who has the abil­i­ty to appre­ci­ate and under­stand one side and equal­ly the oth­er side of an issue or prob­lem; they can encom­pass an under­stand­ing of the whole issue, to see one per­son or group and then see the oth­er side. Peo­ple like Kamala will strive to bring ideas, peo­ple, and groups togeth­er to forge agree­ments by build­ing a bridge of mutu­al under­stand­ing. Kamala will try to rec­on­cile and inte­grate sides that are seem­ing­ly opposed to one anoth­er. Peo­ple like Kamala are the inter­locu­tors and inter­me­di­aries of the Zodi­ac; they seek to bring peo­ple togeth­er through objec­tive under­stand­ing and rea­son. And this is quite fit­ting for a Libra, (Kamala’s Sun Sign) which is known for that very qual­i­ty of Social Intel­li­gence, Diplo­ma­cy and Bridge Building.

Then we look and see how the Plan­e­tary ener­gy is dis­trib­uted in a chart. We are talk­ing about the ele­ments of Fire, Earth, Air, and Water, and whether Kamala is more Car­di­nal, Fixed or Muta­ble in modal­i­ty. Kamala’s chart shows that she is a very fiery and earthy per­son, so that she com­bines the ide­al­ism and dri­ve of fire but she fus­es that with a more prac­ti­cal ori­en­ta­tion in terms of ground­ing those ideals in some­thing pur­pose­ful, mean­ing­ful, and most impor­tant­ly achievable.

Then in terms of the modal­i­ty, she is very Car­di­nal but also Fixed. The Car­di­nal comes from her Sun in Libra and her Moon in Aries, but then she has a lot of fixed plan­ets. Car­di­nal peo­ple see a prob­lem and they want to deal with it, they go for it and try and fix it. But Fixed peo­ple try to bear up and main­tain things, so she has a lit­tle bit of both. She will not hes­i­tate to address prob­lems by tak­ing action, but Kamala will be guid­ed by her deter­mi­na­tion to remain stead­fast and be guid­ed by cer­tain val­ues that she holds to be true.

I also like to see if there any sort of spe­cial pat­tern that might pro­vide a spe­cial qual­i­ty to a per­son. Indeed, there is a rather spe­cial pat­tern in Kamala’s chart, and it is called the Mys­tic rec­tan­gle. The Mys­tic Rec­tan­gle is formed by two group­ings of plan­ets. For Kamala it is her Sun oppo­site to her Moon, and her Mars oppo­site to Sat­urn, and then each of those four points is linked with one anoth­er. The two oppo­si­tions are linked by what we call sex­tiles and trines.

Often oppo­si­tions lead to a strug­gle between one thing and anoth­er. By hav­ing this Mys­tic pat­tern, it allows a per­son to find a way through, a bridg­ing if you will between what seems to most to be irrec­on­cil­able things. In her case the Sun in Libra would pre­dis­pose a per­son to try to do the right thing in terms of rela­tion­ships and part­ner­ships, and to defer one’s own needs and inter­ests for that of oth­ers, to be what we call very “oth­er inter­est­ed”. Yet her moon in Aries says she also feels a strong need to assert her­self and dis­play lead­er­ship, courage, and ini­tia­tive. And if that is too strong one might run roughshod over oth­er people.

So, it is a tug of war between doing what is right for one­self and doing what is more accom­mo­dat­ing. Of course, the les­son in her life was to learn to hold her­self in the mid­dle, to be pos­i­tive­ly self-assertive with­out being too abra­sive or strong about it; to be mind­ful­ly sen­si­tive so that she equal­ly con­sid­er the social con­se­quences of those words and deeds in order to main­tain har­mo­ny and balance.

Like­wise, with her Mars in Leo, Kamala wish­es to act in the world in a way that that dis­plays con­fi­dence and mas­tery as she looks to earn respect. But if you shape your actions too much by what will bring you approval and respect, well then you might become untrue to who you real­ly are. That is when her Sat­urn in Aquar­ius reminds her, “to thine own self be true”, and that she should not over­ly care what peo­ple think. So that also pulls on her from anoth­er direc­tion. Giv­en this polar­iza­tion, she could get stuck by either being too accom­mo­dat­ing in terms of try­ing to earn peo­ple’s respect or too dis­mis­sive of peo­ple so she can do her own thing. The need of course is to strike the right bal­ance, to be some­one who val­ues hon­or and indi­vid­u­al­i­ty, but also real­izes the impor­tance of doing that with­in a con­text that is social­ly mean­ing­ful. This pat­tern is one of the keys to under­stand­ing what dri­ves Kamala’s life.

Then we turn to the prin­ci­ple indi­ca­tors in any­body’s chart, and for Kamala it is her Sun in Libra placed in her 5th house. Peo­ple with the sun in Libra are focused on rela­tion­ships and part­ner­ships, and we often find them being the medi­a­tor between indi­vid­u­als and groups. Libra’s have a strong sense of fair play and jus­tice, and we usu­al­ly see them work­ing towards alle­vi­at­ing injus­tices and heal­ing divi­sions. Kamala is a lawyer, and a pros­e­cu­tor and now a sen­a­tor, and get­ting involved in social caus­es and try­ing to make that social space more equi­table and fair­er would be some­thing that would dri­ve her sto­ry with­out question.

Kamala’s Sun is in the “nat­ur­al house” for the Sun, the 5^th House, as the Sun rules the 5th sign of Leo. This place­ment often indi­cates some­one who car­ries some form of ener­gy that nat­u­ral­ly dis­plays lead­er­ship; she inspires oth­ers with her prin­ci­pled nature. More­over, with her Sun in the nat­ur­al house of Leo, she will shine like the Sun, and when she smiles it will light up the room with warmth and goodness.

When we look to see how her Sun is con­nect­ed to the rest of the chart, the first thing to note is that Kamala was born a Full Moon. I like to say that a per­son born at a Full Moon is born with no excus­es, because they implic­it­ly under­stand cause and effect, the law of action and reac­tion. But it also indi­cates that Kamala was brought into the world so that when she looked at her moth­er, and then she looked at father, she said to her­self, “wow these peo­ple are dif­fer­ent”. It set Kamala on her path, to try and fig­ure out how to rec­on­cile the dif­fer­ences I sense with­in me, and then between myself and oth­er peo­ple. This aware­ness dri­ves her sto­ry through­out her life, try­ing to find a way to bring togeth­er peo­ple and to bring togeth­er the oppo­sites and achieve an inte­gral synthesis.

Her Sun is also per­fect­ly lined up with her Sat­urn in Aquar­ius. A Sun/Saturn trine per­son has a very deep under­stand­ing about how the world works, and equal­ly a res­olute sense of respon­si­bil­i­ty in the world in terms of their life. We typ­i­cal­ly find that peo­ple like this often find their life tends to shine once they hit their 50s and onward, as they show great adept­ness and matu­ri­ty and skill in work­ing in struc­tures and mas­ter­ing them.

Her Sun is next to Mer­cury, what we call a con­junc­tion, and that makes her a very sharp per­son in terms of her intel­li­gence. And that strength of mind fits quite well again with her moon being in Aries since the moon in Aries rules the head and makes for a rather quick mind.

An Aries Moon per­son leans into life, they are very enthu­si­as­tic, some­times a lit­tle too enthu­si­as­tic, some­times a lit­tle too com­pet­i­tive, and that eager­ness or over­reach­ing can some­times bring them trou­ble. When­ev­er a Moon in Aries per­son is frus­trat­ed or hav­ing some dif­fi­cul­ty, I always tell them that the answer or rem­e­dy is for them to get mov­ing, to just get very phys­i­cal and use up that ener­gy in some form of phys­i­cal exer­tion. Rather than peace­ful and still med­i­ta­tions in order to be cen­tered, peo­ple like this should run, dance or move vig­or­ous­ly and that will restore their peace of mind.

The Aries Moon in Kamala’s chart is in the Eleventh House of social ideals, of her social con­scious­ness and con­science. This means that Kamala’s com­mu­ni­ties, the groups, and asso­ci­a­tions that she belongs to and par­tic­i­pates in are so mean­ing­ful to her. These com­mu­ni­ties and caus­es bring her nur­tur­ing and com­fort as she equal­ly tries to bring lead­er­ship and nur­tur­ing to them.

More­over, the Moon in her chart is oppo­site to her Mer­cury and that means she ini­tial­ly had to strug­gle to inte­grate what she was feel­ing and what she was think­ing and speak­ing about. Hav­ing had to work on this, she prob­a­bly has learned to mas­ter the art of weav­ing togeth­er her intel­lect and her feel­ings, to hold them togeth­er so that her words and ideas can car­ry that much fur­ther into the mind and hearts of oth­ers. But she may still get stuck or stum­ble between what she is think­ing and what she is feel­ing some­times, and when unable to over­come that divide, she might be misunderstood.

Kamala is for­tu­nate to have her Moon trine her Mars, (and that Mars in her chart is impor­tant and we will come back to that). Mars is her ris­ing plan­et, it is the lead plan­et of her chart, and any­body with the Moon trin­ing Mars is some­one who is a “Can Do per­son”, not a “Can­not Do per­son”; the word no or can­not is just not part of their DNA. Once they set their sights upon a task or mis­sion that is it, they are ful­ly ener­gized once they feel strong­ly about some­thing, so that they are on it com­plete­ly and noth­ing will dis­suade them.

Kamala approach­es the world like a Gem­i­ni because she has Gem­i­ni Ris­ing. This makes her curi­ous and rest­less, and some­times provoca­tive or con­trary. She can see more than one side to an issue, and she relies upon her intel­li­gence and adapt­abil­i­ty to solve prob­lems and not get stuck.

The Mid­heav­en of a chart shows the des­tiny or path in life, and for Kamala she has the sign of Pisces on top of her chart. This means that she feels that her life and her life work must have some­thing to do with a mis­sion or greater pur­pose, that it is not about her­self but about the call­ing to some task that requires sac­ri­fice and dedication.

Kamala’s ris­ing plan­et of Mars is in the sign of Leo. I have men­tioned many times that Mars in Leo is one of the sig­ni­fi­ca­tors found in more US President’s charts than any oth­er. Kamala’s Mars in Leo is in a promi­nent posi­tion, and it gives her a Leo qual­i­ty of being a fight­er for hon­or and for integri­ty. Mars ris­ing peo­ple embody a war­rior spir­it, it can make them strong, but they need to be care­ful in how they wield this pow­er. For Kamala, Mars is placed in her Third House of the Mind and Intel­li­gence, and indi­cates a very sharp and quick mind, and often a very sharp tongue. It is great asset for a debater, it is the per­fect asset for a lawyer because that is where this ener­gy can find a mean­ing­ful application.

But she has to learn to be care­ful to not over­do or over­whelm her oppo­nent (or audi­ence), and that if she comes across as too strong or to seem to be full of her­self in terms of what she knows or how she wields that pow­er of her mind it could reveal a lack of social grace. Her very intel­li­gence and assertive nature could be turned against her.

As much as Mars is so impor­tant as her ris­ing plan­et, the cul­mi­nat­ing plan­et in anyone’s chart is also sig­nif­i­cant, reveal­ing much about their soul and their des­tiny. For Kamala, it is the plan­et Sat­urn in Aquar­ius. Sat­urn rules struc­ture, real­i­ty, insti­tu­tions, and the law. More­over, it is in the Ninth House which rules high­er under­stand­ing, the realm of Truth, Sci­ence, Phi­los­o­phy, and the Law as well. This place­ment shows that Kamala has a great abil­i­ty in this life­time to be mas­ter­ful in realms of reli­gion and phi­los­o­phy and sci­ence and law. As we all know, she was a lawyer and a pros­e­cu­tor, and giv­en Sat­urn in the Ninth house the path of her pro­fes­sion­al life makes sense.

Jupiter is the plan­et that informs and guides our beliefs and our truths, of what we find mean­ing­ful to us, and forms our inspi­ra­tions and moti­va­tions. Kamala has her Jupiter in the sign of Tau­rus, and it is in her Twelfth House. With Jupiter in her 12^th House, she can draw upon a well of spir­i­tu­al con­fi­dence and under­stand­ing from with­in her­self; for Kamala, her faith is cen­tered, deep and abid­ing. With her Jupiter in Tau­rus, she makes her way by a very per­sis­tent search for the truth. More­over, Kamala has a firm belief that there are teach­ings and val­ues that are eter­nal, and this sup­ports her opti­mism and faith in human­i­ty. Because of this sense of last­ing val­ue, she has a very steady kind of spir­i­tu­al under­stand­ing, she lives a faith informed by truth.

With her Sat­urn in the 9th house, Kamala would have start­ed with a cer­tain cultural/spiritual sys­tem of belief, but then by her own need and through cir­cum­stances, she would have been exposed to and explored oth­er cul­tures, beliefs and paths to Truth. Her Sat­urn “test in life” is in fact the test of truth, and those with this test even­tu­al­ly arrive at a place of a more encom­pass­ing under­stand­ing of Wis­dom teth­ered to Humil­i­ty. Then peo­ple like Kamala can help oth­er peo­ple under­stand what is true and how to under­stand the way to truth because that has been and remains Kamala’s journey.

The plan­et Venus in a chart will show what you val­ue, what you love, and how you love. For Kamala Venus is espe­cial­ly impor­tant because she is a Libra, a sign ruled by Venus. For Kamala, Venus is in the sign of Vir­go, so even though Kamala is a Libra she real­ly wants to be a Vir­go. Kamala wants to be more at peace, to have a more com­plete under­stand­ing of val­ue, beau­ty, and love by tak­ing an ana­lyt­i­cal approach to beau­ty and to rela­tion­ship. It can make some­one some­what of a per­fec­tion­ist, but it also makes her more atten­tive to the need for rela­tion­ships and part­ner­ships to be formed with right struc­tur­ing so that they are har­mo­nious and bal­anced. Venus is a strong indi­ca­tor for Kamala, since it is the plan­et that is ris­ing before her Sun. With Venus in this posi­tion and Sign, she is led through life by Venus; she seeks to under­stand and heal the pat­terns and con­di­tions of rela­tion­ships between part­ners and groups of people.

Mer­cury is the plan­et that rules the mind and our means of com­mu­ni­ca­tion, and for Kamala it is in the sign of Scor­pio. So even though Kamala is a Libra, she thinks like a Scor­pio which means with a great insight that always seeks to go deep­er, to remove the veil cov­er­ing things that are hid­den. She will not accept things at face val­ue but will dive deep­er to find the truth. Kamala’s mind is focused, deter­mined and author­i­ta­tive since her Mer­cury lines up with her Sat­urn, (just like her Sun). She goes deep­er than most and goes to the heart of the mat­ter, so that when she deliv­ers that mes­sage, she is com­pelling and persuasive.

KAMALA/BIDEN:

How do Joe and Kamala’s charts line up with one anoth­er? The most strik­ing dif­fer­ence between their charts is the Fixed and Watery nature of Biden as com­pared to the Cardinal/Fixed and Fiery/Earthy nature of Har­ris. Joe will appre­ci­ate Kamala’s dri­ve and ide­al­ism, but he will cer­tain­ly come across as the more sen­si­tive and emo­tion­al per­son in their part­ner­ship. After all, he has the Moon as his Ris­ing Plan­et, so Joe is an emo­tion­al and sen­si­tive type, he will be the heal­er or “Empathiz­er in Chief”. Kamala has Mars ris­ing, she will be the one who is ready for bat­tle, she will be the “War­rior Woman”.

One of the most sig­nif­i­cant links between two charts is when one person’s Moon aligns with the oth­er person’s Moon, and Kamala’s Moon and Joe’s Moon are con­junct, and that cre­ates a bond of empa­thy and under­stand­ing between them. Then Kamala’s Sun (which is oppo­site to her Moon), is also oppo­site Joe’s Moon. Here is when we say, “oppo­sites attract”. Each will feel that the oth­er per­son is dif­fer­ent but in a stim­u­lat­ing way; in some sense, each will feel that the oth­er bal­ances or com­pletes them in some man­ner. For Kamala, she will have to come to under­stand Joe’s emo­tion­al nature (which is quite dif­fer­ent from hers, he with the Moon in Tau­rus, and her with the Moon in Aries), and Joe will have to accept and enjoy Kamala’s strong per­son­al­i­ty, espe­cial­ly with her Sun in her Fifth House.

Astrologer’s will always look to see if there are Sat­urn con­nec­tions between two charts, and that is here. Joe’s Sun Squares Kamala’s Sat­urn. I always say to my clients who have this in their part­ner­ship, that this forms the feel­ing of “Déjà vu”, so that the two peo­ple will feel that this rela­tion­ship is famil­iar, like they are meet­ing one anoth­er “once again”, and their rela­tion­ship seems to have a feel­ing of kar­ma and des­tiny about it. It will tend to hold peo­ple togeth­er, to be deeply com­mit­ted to one another.

Biden’s Mer­cury squares Harris’s Mars, and this will cre­ate a fris­son of ener­gy, but also the poten­tial for fric­tion between them. Basi­cal­ly, Joe will usu­al­ly want to talk more about some mat­ter or issue, where­as Kamala will wish to take action more quick­ly. Each will mod­er­ate the oth­er when it works; Joe bring­ing more delib­er­a­tion into an issue before mov­ing on it, and at times Kamala get­ting Joe to act soon­er than he might have with­out her.

Jupiter is espe­cial­ly impor­tant in a rela­tion­ship, espe­cial­ly for Biden who has Sagit­tar­ius Ris­ing. Joe’s Jupiter squares Kamala’s Moon. This may seem chal­leng­ing at times, but Jupiter being the greater benef­ic will often lead to a reward­ing expe­ri­ence. Joe’s Jupiter will help Kamala to expand her out­look and broad­en her under­stand­ing of the world. The key to this work­ing will be do they fun­da­men­tal­ly share the same spiritual/cultural beliefs? And for that we need to exam­ine the aspect between Joe’s Jupiter and Kamala’s.

Joe has his Jupiter in Can­cer and Kamala has her Jupiter in Tau­rus, and they form a strong and pos­i­tive sex­tile. That means their under­stand­ing about the nature of truth and faith are sim­i­lar and aligned. They will form a part­ner­ship that can inspire and bring out the best in one anoth­er and give hope and inspi­ra­tion to oth­ers as well.

The Way of the Lion
To be true to thyself
To Hon­or one another
To Love one another
To For­ev­er Shine with the Light of the Sun

Today you begin your 30-day jour­ney through the Sign of the Sun, Leo. Hav­ing found a deep­er cen­ter­ing and secur­ing to one’s true self in Can­cer, hav­ing felt more tru­ly con­nect­ed to what lies at the heart of you (and as you go ever deep­er, what lies at the heart one and all), it is time for you to “sal­ly forth” and show what you are, to be true to your­self and shine for the world.

Some­where in your chart, and espe­cial­ly at this time of the year, you expe­ri­ence the celes­tial fire of Leo. There have been many cul­tures and reli­gions that ven­er­at­ed and “wor­shiped” the Sun; but the true nature of their ado­ra­tion was not for the phys­i­cal Sun. What they bowed to, what they held as most high and sacred, was the holy of holies revealed and hid­den behind the Solar Glory.

A core tenet of the Ancient Wis­dom is this: At the heart of every cen­ter of all the cen­ters of Cre­ation, in every sin­gle par­ti­cle of Cre­ation rang­ing from the most infin­i­tes­i­mal par­ti­cles, on up through atoms, mol­e­cules, min­er­als, plants, organ­isms, plan­ets, our Sun, stars and galax­ies, and equal­ly from the most phys­i­cal planes of man­i­fes­ta­tion to the most sub­lime reach­es of pure Spir­it, and from the most unawak­ened to the most lov­ing and wise of the co-cre­ators of Cre­ations, the shin­ing ones or devas, the bud­dhas and logoi, yes behind every one and behind it all stands the Eter­nal Flame of the One, which holds all of this Cre­ation togeth­er by One True Light, which is the pri­mal ener­gy-form you know as Uncon­di­tion­al Love.

This is the Fire you express in Leo,
It is the same Spir­it of the Solar Logos, and it shines in you too.
It is the Love you are made of; and it is the Love you are here to live by.

This is the les­son and mes­sage of Leo. You do not have to look for love; Love is what you are made of. You only need to reawak­en what you have known and felt before. In each of your many lives as human, you have been held by this love, some­times more, some­times less, and you have lived and loved by being this Truth of Love made manifest.

This Knowing/Feeling, this ulti­mate Truth of Spir­it, is the source of your Hap­pi­ness. Being who you are, being tru­ly your­self is “the Way”. Yes, you find what is at the root of you in the sign of Can­cer. Now in Leo, you play with the many ways to take these ener­gy-forms and weave them into your beau­ti­ful “Per­for­mances”, those mar­velous self-real­iza­tions by which you express your­self as a Leader and Cre­ator, and as a Lover too.

But you tru­ly shine when you see the oth­er before you as a “shin­ing one” too. You earn your respect by show­ing them respect; you find your hap­pi­ness in the joy that shines through their eyes. For you are human now, and you are made for and you are made by one anoth­er. You are here to love one anoth­er as you love your­self, unconditionally.

Love One Another.
Respect One Another.
Shine with the Light of the Sun.

This is the path; the path of Light and Love that leads to the heart of Creation.

The oth­er path, of fear and dark­ness, divides you from your true self and from one anoth­er. But it can­not cre­ate; it has no future and will with­er away.

Be what you are.
Be Fear­less, Faith­ful and Loving.
Be a Lion.

Biden Chart Analysis

The Human­is­tic approach to Astrol­o­gy, starts with the con­sid­er­a­tion of any chart by approach­ing it Holis­ti­cal­ly, to seek to under­stand the chart by first dis­cern­ing what pat­tern the plan­ets form with one anoth­er. The pat­tern of Joe Biden’s chart is called a Loco­mo­tive or Open-Angle Pat­tern. The plan­ets are spread around the wheel fill­ing in about two-thirds of space and leav­ing one-third emp­ty. The Loco­mo­tive type holds to a tem­pera­ment that is inher­ent­ly open to growth and tran­scen­dence. It can lead to a spir­i­tu­al or even mys­ti­cal qual­i­ty, and it indi­cates the abil­i­ty to move beyond the ordi­nary and con­ven­tion­al, so that the indi­vid­ual is open to wider and deep­er appre­ci­a­tions through what are called transper­son­al expe­ri­ences. The Loco­mo­tive type is high­ly moti­vat­ed and may feel that they have a mis­sion in life. But with the trine Aspect as the basis for the pat­tern, their tem­pera­ment can be very flow­ing and inspi­ra­tional, draw­ing peo­ple onto their path.

The lead­ing edge of the open angle pat­tern is a key indi­ca­tor, and for Biden it is the Moon. Not only is the Moon in Tau­rus lead­ing Biden, but it is also the ris­ing body for his chart. Those fac­tors, plus the pre­pon­der­ance of water place­ments in Biden’s chart, makes him a true sen­si­tive. He feels very deeply and is high­ly intu­itive and com­pas­sion­ate. Not only does he feel his joys and pains more than most, but he has such empa­thy and com­pas­sion that he tru­ly feels the pain and joy of oth­ers too.

The three most impor­tant place­ments in any chart, are the Sun, Moon and Ris­ing Sign. For Joe Biden, his Sun is in Scor­pio and it is placed in his 12^th house. Scor­pio is a Water Sign and is known for its pas­sion and deter­mi­na­tion. Scorpio’s are known for their pen­e­trat­ing insight, and they have a pro­nounced abil­i­ty to see through the appear­ances of things and uncov­er that which is hid­den from most. Scor­pio rules Unions, the process­es I call Alchem­i­cal, and that we know as Birth-Death-Rebirth.

Yes, the mir­a­cle of the birth of a child, and the agony of los­ing loved ones will mark Joe Biden’s life…and it has. He has earned his empa­thy and com­pas­sion with great loss­es, espe­cial­ly in 1972 of his first wife and his daugh­ter, Nelia and Nao­mi in a car acci­dent, (but luck­i­ly his sons Beau and Hunter sur­vived). He lat­er loss Beau to brain can­cer in 2015. We Astrologers like to tell Scor­pios that they are the strongest sign; we do not always have the heart to tell them why they will need that strength.

Biden’s Sun is in his 12^th house, which often leads a soul into peri­ods of deep intro­spec­tion and equal­ly seems to ask that indi­vid­ual to make some great sac­ri­fices in their life. Biden does not seek the lime­light for his own sat­is­fac­tion, as he prefers to work behind the cur­tain. Through his Sun trin­ing his Jupiter, Biden will appear to be for­tu­nate or lucky in his life to many, but what they are real­ly wit­ness­ing is the return of his very gen­er­ous spir­it of giv­ing to many, many others

Biden’s Moon is in Tau­rus in the 5^th house. This means he expe­ri­ences the ten­sion between time­less val­ues (Tau­rus), and the equal­ly ephemer­al nature of our mor­tal forms and lives (Scor­pio). With both his lights in Fixed Signs, Biden will be pur­pose­ful and con­stant, (as much as Trump is change­able and unsta­ble). With the Moon in the house of recre­ation, play and chil­dren, Biden will enjoy life, recre­ations, and chil­dren. The Moon in Tau­rus fos­ters a sta­ble, con­stant, and calm emo­tion­al nature.

Biden’s third essen­tial qual­i­ty is the Ris­ing Sign of Sagit­tar­ius. Biden will appear to be very direct and open, prone to telling it “like it is”, (some­times more so than he should). We often joke that when Sagit­tar­ius is ris­ing the per­son often opens their mouth only to change their foot! Sagit­tar­ius is the sign of the sto­ry­teller, and Biden is well known for his jovi­al­i­ty com­bined with his frank­ness. It can endear him to many, and it can make oth­ers cringe as he makes yet anoth­er faux pas. But fun­da­men­tal­ly, he sees him­self as some­one who is here to dis­cov­er and share the truth, and he will be direct and forth­right about it.

Where­as Trump has his Sun con­junct Uranus (and oppo­site to his Moon), Biden has his Sun oppo­site to Uranus. The dif­fer­ence is that for him­self (the Sun), Trump is an icon­o­clast, a break­er of norms; he is the shock­er and dis­rupter. But, with both his “lights” influ­enced by Uranus he is inher­ent­ly unsta­ble, there is no place of stability.

Biden is shocked by oth­ers, but is him­self very sta­ble, so he is chal­lenged to find con­struc­tive ways to respond to those who are not sta­ble. For­tu­nate­ly, he also has Venus con­junct his Sun, and with both Sun and Venus being in a trine to his Jupiter, he is both gen­tle and lov­ing (Venus) and guid­ed by good will and a strong moral pur­pose (Jupiter).

The plan­e­tary ruler for Scor­pio is Mars (though Astrologers will also look to Plu­to as well). For Biden, his Mars is also in Scor­pio, and it is in his 11^th House. Mars in Scor­pio makes for a pas­sion­ate war­rior, some­one you would want on your side, but you would be wise to walk away from if they are opposed to you. Mars in the 11^th house fights for social jus­tice, for pre­serv­ing and advanc­ing the hopes and dreams of others.

The Plan­et that is high­est in a chart, (often in the 10^th house) is also sig­nif­i­cant. For Trump it is Uranus, the plan­et of Indi­vid­u­al­i­ty and Free­dom. For Biden, it is Nep­tune, the plan­et of Dreams, Com­pas­sion and Sac­ri­fice. Since the 10^th house is your “pub­lic life” or “office”, Trump with Uranus in his 10^th house would want to be free to do what­ev­er he wants to do; Trump is born to be an auto­crat. For Biden, he would see his career as a call­ing with Nep­tune, he would be inspired by a dream and be will­ing to sac­ri­fice him­self for the cause.

But he not a star­ry-eyed ide­al­ist, he is a very (as we astrologers like to say) watery per­son, with his Sun, Venus, Mer­cury and Mars in Scor­pio, and his Jupiter in Can­cer. Biden is sen­si­tive and real­is­tic, and he is moti­vat­ed to care for and nur­ture oth­ers. He may wish he were less sen­si­tive, but tru­ly Biden’s sen­si­tiv­i­ty is his strength.

Trump Chart Analysis:

I always begin to exam­ine a chart by look­ing at it holis­ti­cal­ly. After all, an astro­log­i­cal chart is a Sky Map, a pic­ture of the plan­e­tary posi­tions, as seen from a spe­cif­ic place on the Earth, on a cer­tain day and time. What we should do first is take a step back and look for the over­all mes­sage of the chart. When we do this what emerges is the pat­tern of the chart, and it reveals the first indi­ca­tion of the type of per­son we are examining.

Don­ald Trump’s pat­tern is called a Bowl or Hemi­spher­ic shape, with all plan­ets lin­ing up on one side of the chart, and the oth­er half remain­ing open or emp­ty. The bowl pat­tern implies a great degree of self-con­tain­ment, but often desir­ing recog­ni­tion; here we find a soul that is moved or affect­ed more by exter­nal cir­cum­stances than by inter­nal fac­tors. Because of this pat­tern, Trump frames his life by a strong sense of mis­sion, a sense that he pos­sess­es some­thing (the filled bowl), but that he equal­ly lacks or needs some­thing, (the emp­ty space). He will be dri­ven, pur­pose­ful and feel that he has a des­tiny to ful­fill. Because the pat­tern is fun­da­men­tal­ly based on the oppo­si­tion, the tem­pera­ment formed is dual­is­tic; Trump will have an “all or noth­ing” psy­chol­o­gy, he will see the world as divid­ed in two, into “us and them”.

The crit­i­cal or high focus part of the Bowl pat­tern is formed by the lead­ing plan­et or edge of the bowl. In Trump’s chart, that lead­ing plan­et is Uranus in his 10^th house of career, pub­lic life, and pur­pose. Uranus is the “Awak­en­er” and brings about change through shocks and upsets. Not only is it his lead­ing plan­et, but it is also the upper­most plan­et in his chart, and most sig­nif­i­cant­ly, it is next to his Sun and oppo­site to his Moon. If you want to under­stand a very great deal about Trump, you only need to under­stand this influ­ence of Uranus and these oth­er two fea­tures: that his Sun is in Gem­i­ni, his Moon is in Sagit­tar­ius, and he has Uranus con­junct his Sun and oppo­site to his Moon.

Gem­i­ni is an Air Sign, known for its intel­li­gence, curios­i­ty, adapt­abil­i­ty, and rest­less­ness. Gem­i­ni rules the mind in its capac­i­ty to con­sid­er things from more than one point of view or per­spec­tive, to per­ceive the world through mul­ti­ple “lens­es”, to assume mul­ti­ple posi­tions in order to con­sid­er which view or views seems most mean­ing­ful, reveal­ing or excep­tion­al. When applied in right ways, Gem­i­ni is our fac­ul­ty of Intelligence.

Gem­in­is love to “stir things up”. They can hold one posi­tion and then swing to the oppo­site posi­tion with­out skip­ping a beat. Gem­in­is are often “high-strung, ner­vous types” with a con­stant need to take in and push out infor­ma­tion. Their avid­i­ty and thirst for infor­ma­tion, and their insis­tent need to share these mul­ti­ple thoughts can push the enve­lope of rea­son to that razor’s edge that lies between genius and insan­i­ty. Keep­ing up with and fol­low­ing the stream of con­scious­ness of some Gem­in­is can be fas­ci­nat­ing, but some­times frus­trat­ing and fruit­less; often­times with Trump, it will be pointless.

Being born at the Full Moon, Trump has his Moon in the oppo­site Sign of Sagit­tar­ius. The Moon rules the emo­tion­al life, the emo­tion­al needs, the ingrained and uncon­scious habit pat­terns of reactions/interactions and will reveal how a per­son will act or react with­out think­ing. (And though we humans like to think of our­selves as mind­ful, intel­li­gent and self-aware, we actu­al­ly live a great deal of our lives on “autopi­lot”, so that when some­thing hap­pens, we will often react with­out much thought at all).

The Moon in Sagit­tar­ius is very free-wheel­ing, open and out­spo­ken, so that it leads to a per­son who will feel and speak with lit­tle or no restraint. There is basi­cal­ly no fil­ter at all. What­ev­er is in their feel­ing-think­ing in that moment is what you are going to get.

The oppo­si­tion of the Sun and Moon, (the two prin­ci­ple indi­ca­tors of our Male and Female natures), will cre­ate a crit­i­cal con­flict and imbal­ance between the Thoughts and Feel­ings for Trump. The result will be a pulling and push­ing with­in him­self, often lead­ing to wider (and wilder) swings between cold intel­lect and emo­tion­al­i­ty. If the spir­i­tu­al-psy­cho­log­i­cal work of accept­ing and inte­grat­ing his male/female halves is not achieved, he will be sub­ject to extreme rest­less­ness, impul­sive­ness, and impatience.

This com­bi­na­tion of Gem­i­ni and Sagit­tar­ius could be har­nessed and bal­anced if oth­er fac­tors in his chart were to bring in some restraint and ground­ing. There are some fac­tors in his chart that could help Trump. How­ev­er, the prin­ci­ple plan­et affect­ing both his Sun and Moon is the plan­et that rules the “earth­quakes of life”, Uranus.

The con­junc­tion of the Sun with Uranus means that Trump will stand out, and nev­er blend in. His life will be unusu­al, full of excep­tion­al moments that break through bound­aries. Born to rebel, he would have been inde­pen­dent and defi­ant as a child, and he would have devel­oped a view of him­self as not sub­ject to nor­mal rules or expec­ta­tions. He can exhib­it bril­liance and flash­es of great insight, but he will at times be equal­ly unable to restrain him­self from dis­trac­tions and errat­ic behaviors.

Again, even this chal­leng­ing set of fac­tors could have been com­bined with ground­ing ele­ments to mod­u­late and sta­bi­lize his nature. But in Trump’s chart the ener­gies of insta­bil­i­ty (and chaos) are mag­ni­fied by Uranus because it is also in oppo­si­tion to his Moon. Trump will look upon feel­ings (and women) with great dis­trust because they are for him so unpre­dictable and unknow­able. He will be dis­mis­sive of and not in touch with his feel­ing nature. The result is that Trump will swing wild­ly between his rest­less intel­lect and inse­cure emo­tions. His thoughts will lack real empa­thy and com­pas­sion; and his emo­tions will be unin­formed by rea­son. Trump will be capa­ble of some moments of bril­liance, but he will lack empa­thy; he will put on a dis­play of sen­ti­ment, but he is tru­ly uncar­ing. Trump will remain divid­ed with­in him­self; he has remained through­out his life a very unset­tled and unsta­ble individual.

Many com­men­ta­tors have assumed that Trump’s demeanor is pure­ly an act, and that he employs his “prin­ci­ples of chaos” as a strat­e­gy, shock­ing his adver­saries to achieve his ends. What his chart reveals is that this is no act. Trump is unsta­ble by nature. He is sim­ply unpre­dictable because he can­not con­trol himself.

The plan­e­tary ruler for Gem­i­ni is Mer­cury, which for Trump is in the sign of Can­cer. Though he will con­sid­er him­self to be a man of rea­son, pos­sess­ing a great range of ideas and knowl­edge, and that he comes to his facts and opin­ions via his supe­ri­or intel­lect, much of his think­ing and deci­sion-mak­ing is uncon­scious­ly influ­enced by his emo­tions. He will believe that he is being “rea­son­able” when he in fact he is often being blind­ed by his emo­tion­al biases.

But much more trou­bling is that he also has his Mer­cury squar­ing his Nep­tune, the plan­et of Dreams and Imag­i­na­tion. Nep­tune is also, when mis­ap­plied or mis­un­der­stood, the plan­et that rules fan­tasies, delu­sions, and decep­tions. Mer­cury squar­ing Nep­tune, if you can mas­ter your­self, can be won­der­ful and make you a great sto­ry­teller, it is gift for painters and poets, allow­ing one to slip beyond the bound­aries of real­i­ty for inspiration.

But when com­bined with the inher­ent insta­bil­i­ty of his chart, Mer­cury square Nep­tune means that Trump will say any­thing, and mean noth­ing. He will make some­thing up and turn around and say the oppo­site. And then he will prob­a­bly turn around again and say some third thing. He will employ “smoke and mir­rors”; he will claim to speak plain­ly and accuse oth­ers of being untruth­ful. He will sow doubt and con­fu­sion, he will often promise and not deliv­er. He is prob­a­bly not to be believed or trust­ed much of the time.

One of the more chal­leng­ing aspects a per­son may have in their chart is a hard con­tact between Venus and Sat­urn. Trump has his Sat­urn con­junct Venus, which means he expe­ri­enced only con­di­tion­al forms of love as a child. Rather than being loved tru­ly, he was exposed to “love” that was giv­en or with­held as a tool for reward or pun­ish­ment. This is not love, this is the abu­sive pow­er wield­ed by an author­i­tar­i­an par­ent, most like­ly his father. More­over, when Sat­urn makes this hard aspect to Venus, the child is exposed to the deval­u­a­tion of women by their father.

With­out sig­nif­i­cant help to heal this wound, Trump would have no true expe­ri­ence of healthy “self-love”, nor would he be capa­ble of gen­uine­ly lov­ing anoth­er. He would need oth­ers to love and admire him to fill the aching hole in his soul. But he would be unable to show real love to anoth­er. Trump can only take from oth­ers; he has no love to offer. He would be ungen­er­ous, unchar­i­ta­ble and treat oth­ers as “objects”, as he can be the only “sub­ject” in any relationship.

This aspect in a chart may indi­cate and form the con­di­tions for devel­op­ing “nar­cis­sis­tic per­son­al­i­ty dis­or­der”. It has been not­ed that many of the actions and over-reac­tions that Trump has dis­played in his pub­lic life seem to con­form to the clas­sic behav­iors asso­ci­at­ed with what is called nar­cis­sis­tic per­son­al­i­ty disorder.

In short, these delin­eations from Trump’s chart point to an indi­vid­ual who appears fun­da­men­tal­ly unsta­ble, often untruth­ful, and with a heart that is bro­ken and inca­pable of love.

2020 for Biden and Trump 

When con­sid­er­ing the astro­log­i­cal con­di­tions in anyone’s chart for a year, I will look first to their pro­gres­sions and then look at their major tran­sits. What is remark­able about the two can­di­dates for office this year, is that they are at the same stage in the pro­gressed Sun/Moon cycle. They both are in a “New Moon” phase, (Biden’s was in May 2019, in Aquar­ius and in his 3^rd House, Trump was Sep­tem­ber 2019, in Vir­go and in his 1^st house). That is quite a coin­ci­dence. A seed has been plant­ed for them both and is now ger­mi­nat­ing; for Biden it is focused upon ques­tions of Rea­son and Intel­li­gence, and for Trump it high­lights Per­son­al­i­ty and Presence.

What is also inter­est­ing is that the Plan­et Plu­to is lin­ing up in both their charts. For Biden, he has Plu­to mak­ing a sesqui­quadrate (90 plus 45-degree aspect) to his Sat­urn in 2020 and 2021. The mes­sage is that he is fac­ing dif­fi­cul­ties in work­ing to trans­form his per­son­al under­stand­ing of real­i­ty to deal with the dis­rup­tive changes in the world. What he will need to do is to work steadi­ly and patient­ly towards progress and trans­for­ma­tion with­in him­self, and that way he can also meet the need of the times.

For Trump, as I have point­ed out for some time now, he is fac­ing sev­er­al chal­lenges from Plu­to. I have called these tran­sits his “test of pow­er”. Plu­to is still Incon­junct his Sun, (from 2019 through 2020), and he also has Plu­to Oppo­site his Sat­urn in 2020. It is quite inter­est­ing, that the mir­ror of this tran­sit, Sun Incon­junct Sun, hap­pened for Trump in 1991 and 1992, when he went through his first and then his sec­ond bank­rupt­cy, and it hap­pened again with Plu­to oppo­site his Sun in 2004–2005 and his third bankruptcy.

The Plu­to to Sun tran­sit is forc­ing Trump to ques­tion his sense and source of pow­er. A nor­mal per­son might become dis­en­chant­ed with their posi­tion. For Trump, he is once again being con­front­ed with his (lack) of under­stand­ing as to the nature of pow­er and author­i­ty. He is expe­ri­enc­ing, time and again, that he does not have the pow­er he thinks or thought he had (or should have). An ordi­nary per­son might just let it go or walk away from their role which is no longer work­ing for them.

Plu­to oppo­site Trump’s Sat­urn for 2020 is per­haps as chal­leng­ing, if not more chal­leng­ing as Plu­to to his Sun. Sat­urn is the plan­et of real­i­ty and con­sti­tutes for an indi­vid­ual what you think will or can­not change. But Plu­to brings trans­for­ma­tion, it brings death (and the pos­si­bil­i­ty of rebirth), and Trump is faced with events and cir­cum­stances that keep show­ing him that his real­i­ty is not what he thought it was. For Trump, he can no longer run on a strong econ­o­my, he can­not force peo­ple to ignore the pan­dem­ic that is killing their fam­i­ly and friends. He is unable to address the divi­sions with­in the coun­try because his source of pow­er comes from play­ing one side against the oth­er, and the greater Real­i­ty of America’s reck­on­ing with it past is some­thing that he can­not under­stand or allow.

But he does not have the pow­er, not per­son­al­ly as he would see or under­stand it. Our Con­sti­tu­tion is based on rep­re­sen­ta­tive gov­er­nance; the peo­ple have the pow­er. Lead­ers are here to lead by inspi­ra­tion, by set­ting an exam­ple; they serve and sac­ri­fice for the greater good. Giv­en Trumps’ nature, he is not fit to lead. In our sys­tem a leader’s pow­er comes from the con­sent of the gov­erned, and Trump has lost most of the peo­ple because he has sought to rule by fear and divi­sion. Now his lack of sup­port, and his loss of pow­er reveals that his only hold over his sup­posed polit­i­cal allies is through fear, and this is forc­ing a real­i­ty check that he can­not grasp.

This point is real­ly being brought to bear with anoth­er dou­ble-tran­sit to Trump’s chart, Uranus squar­ing his Plu­to, and Uranus semi-square his Sun. This is formed by the fact that in Trump’s chart, he has his own Sun semi-square to Plu­to. This natal aspect indi­cates that Trump was fat­ed from birth to learn the les­son about the Will (Plu­to) and the Self (Sun). We must all learn this fun­da­men­tal les­son, that Pow­er does not come from the Self; Pow­er flows through the self to the extent that one has achieved self-mas­tery and equal­ly respects the sacred cen­ter of every oth­er. Then, what­ev­er pow­er comes to and through that per­son will be deter­mined by what­ev­er posi­tion they hold. Whether you are the head of a fam­i­ly, com­mu­ni­ty, com­pa­ny or coun­try, the pow­er you wield is not yours, it is only to be used to serve the source of pow­er, and nev­er yourself.

Plu­to teach­es that the only thing you are here to mas­ter in this life, the only thing you are here to con­trol, is your­self. Trump does not under­stand that his lack of self-con­trol, his dis­re­spect and den­i­gra­tion of oth­er sources of pow­er, reveals that he is inca­pable of man­ag­ing him­self let along lead­ing a nation. Unfor­tu­nate­ly for Amer­i­ca, it has brought us to a very per­ilous and painful peri­od, and many, many lives have and will be lost that could have been saved.

Look­ing to Biden, anoth­er major tran­sit in Joe’s chart is Nep­tune mov­ing into his 4^th house. Giv­en that Nep­tune is in Biden’s 10^th house of pur­pose and mis­sion, and the 4^th house is the source of your roots and foun­da­tions, this will be quite an impor­tant time in Biden’s life. Nep­tune is the “Uni­ver­sal Sol­vent”, as it dis­solves the bound­aries between lay­ers and realms to reveal the Uni­ty of the Uni­verse. What this means for Biden is that he is being asked to dis­solve or let go of his old sense of ances­tral and cul­tur­al roots and move into a more Uni­ver­sal sense of being Cen­tered in a greater under­stand­ing. Expe­ri­ences will help Biden to cre­ate a wider and more inclu­sive foun­da­tion; this year is a time when Biden will reimag­ine and go deep­er into the truth of what lies at the root of one and all, and then draw upon that to chan­nel these feel­ings in his pub­lic life.

And final­ly, it is quite inter­est­ing that both Trump and Biden have Uranus squar­ing their Pluto’s in 2020. How­ev­er, since their Birth Charts indi­cate very dif­fer­ent expe­ri­ences of the test of Plu­to, (Trump has the dif­fi­cult semi-square of his Sun to Plu­to; Biden has the very sup­port­ive trine of his Sun to Plu­to), each has had a very dif­fer­ent expe­ri­ence of Plu­to in their life; each has faced the test of the Will and Self-Con­trol in quite dif­fer­ent ways; and, they will react to this chal­lenge very dif­fer­ent­ly as well.

Giv­en that any­one with these zodi­a­cal degrees of Plu­to is going through this, this tran­sit of Uranus squar­ing Plu­to is very much a gen­er­a­tional expe­ri­ence. For all who were born in the ear­ly to mid-1940s, it will be a peri­od when what they have built up by their use of their will is test­ed and dis­rupt­ed. Sud­den changes brought about by Uranus will take the form of social and eco­nom­ic upheavals that are beyond anyone’s con­trol, forc­ing all to con­sid­er how and what to pre­serve, but also to face what must change in their pri­vate and pub­lic lives. Some will be able to rise to the occa­sion, some will cope as best as they can, and some will cer­tain­ly fail.

For Trump, giv­en his tem­pera­ment and nature, this square to his Plu­to will just inten­si­fy his frus­tra­tion and his defen­sive reac­tion and impulse will be to be even more extreme in his attempts to manip­u­late oth­ers and use his pow­ers in self-serv­ing ways in order to pre­serve what he has. Giv­en the oth­er major tran­sits he is faced with, it does not seem like­ly that he will pre­vail as events will shat­ter the illu­sion that he is in control.

For Biden, giv­en his pos­i­tive Sun/Pluto arrange­ment, he is more in touch with the les­son of Plu­to, that the only con­trol you will ever have is Self-Con­trol or Self-Mas­tery. He will choose a response rather than react to events. He will not try to con­trol, manip­u­late and divide; he will seek to remain self-mas­ter­ful and encour­age oth­ers to do the same. He will under­stand that real pow­er comes from indi­vid­u­als join­ing into asso­ci­a­tions, and groups join­ing with oth­er groups to main­tain and secure their com­mon pur­pose. He will remain cen­tered with­in him­self, and serve the source of his pub­lic pow­er, the people.

True pow­er comes from the peo­ple; and when a peo­ple are unit­ed, when they find their com­mon pur­pos­es and equal­ly cel­e­brate their diver­si­ty, when they are strong, sen­si­tive, and cen­tered in their wills so that they will nev­er tres­pass upon any oth­er, they will nev­er be defeated.

Let Amer­i­ca be what it was meant to be, “Out of many, we are one!”
