The Great Conjunction (Saturn + Jupiter) through the Houses + Affirmations for December 21st (and beyond).

Saturn and Jupiter meet up in the sky approximately every 20 years. The Great Chronocator, the Markers of Time, Saturn and Jupiter conjunct represent a societal changing of the guard. The last Great Conjunction was in the year 2000 in the sign of Taurus at 22 degrees, and symbolically marked a 20-year period of enhanced focus on the world economy, conglomeration of banks and corporations, making money and achieving material stability. Jupiter and Saturn have teamed up in earth signs for the last 200 years and will enter a 200-year period of meeting up in air signs.

Saturn and Jupiter meet up in the sky approximately every 20 years. The Great Chronocator, the Markers of Time, Saturn and Jupiter conjunct represent a societal changing of the guard. The last Great Conjunction was in the year 2000 in the sign of Taurus at 22 degrees, and symbolically marked a 20-year period of enhanced focus on the world economy, conglomeration of banks and corporations, making money and achieving material stability. Jupiter and Saturn have teamed up in earth signs for the last 200 years and will enter a 200-year period of meeting up in air signs. In earth, worth was/is derived quite literally from earth via agriculture, oil, coal. Taking base metal and materials and turning them into vehicles and buildings. Humanity has been in a cycle of material building, even in smaller ways like the establishment of the eight-hour work week, labor unions, law and policy around financial reform and regulation. This is all earth—the slow plod to structure a society, to structure things, plan around wealth and resource, work and reorganize, and fundamentally move in practical ways that produce tangible results. Caste, class, color, order, tradition and hierarchy are also tenets of earth, as they also aim to structure. This theme of taking from the earth and making from the earth has left us in dire straits: our trigger-haired economy, deteriorating environments and ecosystems. Demoralizing and high-stress work environments all for the check. Hustle culture. With a conjunction in the air sign of Aquarius we will (and already have) begin to see a society moving towards humanitarian causes, towards diversity of thought and idea, towards focus on fraternity, toward freedom and independence, and structure derived from a more high-minded and considered place. The demolishing and rebuilding of industries and practices that currently disenfranchise. The move towards electronic (think: solar panels, Tesla) and wind energy is a manifestation of Aquarius. So is telework, the 4-day workweek and other work/life emancipations. And with Uranus currently in the sign of Taurus, a symbolic resonance is occurring cosmically: how we value and what we value is being revolutionized, decentralized, and radicalized.

 

Anyway, all this high-level poetic stuff is interesting, but what does this great conjunction mean for you? The archetype of Jupiter is expansion, ease, opportunity. The road of least resistance. The archetype of Saturn is restriction, challenge, hard work. The road of most resistance. When these two planets form a conjunction two things can happen: One, Jupiter allows you to exploit and expand within given Saturnian structures and paradigms. Two, Jupiter makes very clear that you must break free of said structures and paradigms. In the former case, Jupiter works under the tutelage of Saturn’s malefic energy by providing some scope and space: you may be a cog in the machine, but you’ll be the best cog ever! And maybe even become your own machine one day. That’s the hope. In the latter case, the machine is worn, torn, broken, and hard to maneuver. It simply doesn’t work anymore but it’s all you know. Jupiter provides a method of escape, like being pulled from a wrecked car with the jaws of life. Either way, you’re making progress. And the foundation of this progress, its tools, lessons, successes and hardships will be a 20-yearlong theme.   

 

Find the house that the sign of Aquarius occupies for you.

 

First House: This conjunction marks a pivotal period of identity growth for you. But don’t call it a comeback. Saturn will strip away artifice, introduce you to isolation, pessimism, lack or exhaust. A building under construction often looks bare, haunted, grotesque. We see its bones and are reminded of the painstaking process of fleshing out something correctly, not quickly. Taking a deeper look at your own scaffolding, where it is weak, where it is strong, where it serves, where it doesn’t…is what will make your personal growth a feat worth building, something to admire from afar. With Jupiter around, don’t limit yourself to the familiar blueprints. You can bend a little, you can create anew, you can paint a wall hot pink because it makes you smile. You can abandon old plots of land and start again somewhere else and will likely bump up against opportunities to do so. The selfhood you build, while requiring a hardhat and work boots, while exposing weak drywall and leaks, can also be an exercise in passion, in hope, and in personal accomplishment. You may be under construction, but you are far from over.

 

I am my eighth world wonder.

 

Second House: This conjunction presents the opportunity to create a life of true value. In defining the things that make you feel substantial, wealthy in ways that are material and immaterial, you will become sorely aware of the ways you have squandered your value, your worth, even your belongings. Aware of where you hold too close to the chest, where scarcity mindsets make you feel small and play small. Aware also of the mismanagement of what life has entrusted to you. It is fitting that the word currency is synonymous with money, because it hints that behind every transaction is energy. Jupiter can spark this energy, preparing buffets of riches from which you can pick and choose. But the energy behind any all-you-can-eat/spend/do/make is…lack or greed. In the end you are a bloated little thing. Saturn is the wisdom to pick and choose the things that are in alignment with your value systems, that match your energy, that are becoming of what you are becoming. And if necessary, Saturn will pick for you, introducing impossibly tight circumstances that can align you, once and for all, with the things that truly matter.

 

I am aligned with what truly matters and gives meaning.

 

 

Third House: This conjunction is working on your perceptions of the world, the situations that create them, and how you communicate them. Saturn creates a maturation of those little thoughts and events and comings and goings that hammer grooves into your neuropathways. Flits of this and that are to be taken seriously now. To become an expert in anything—a field of study, a creative path, your mind, your voice—is to be regularly tested. Do you know what you think you know? Did you say what you think you said? Your mind is being restructured, and like the first house above, the mental scaffolding laid bare invites in some chilly winds—depression, discouragement, the nagging feeling of stupidity. You are no longer being insulated and comforted by patterned and habitual thought. You need to extend deeper, to say things of integrity and purpose. Jupiter can provide fill between these new structural beams by enlightening you, making higher-minded concepts a function of everyday thinking and processing. Jupiter gives you scope and space, an ability to get out of rote mental functioning and reach for something more inspiring. Jupiter is the gift of neuroplasticity, and with Saturn around, you emerge master of your message.

 

I am master of my message.

 

 

Fourth House: This conjunction is repotting you. To come into the fullest glory of yourself, you need environments that grow as you grow. A plant held hostage to a pot where its roots cannot fully extend is dwarfed in potential. Saturn transiting your fourth house feels like being uprooted, like the ground beneath your feet is shifting. Your home, your family, your tribe—all various pots you hoped could contain your growth may prove cracked, worn, small. The happenings below the surface—your soil, your network of roots—all affect the viability of your bloom. You must tend to any garden with discipline, ready to get dirty, to encounter subterranean critters and pests. The state of your soul, your home, your domestic and private life may call for some uncomfortable pruning or caretaking. That is Saturn. But like any garden, the fruits of your labor are delicious and nutritious. Your foliage becomes wonderous. Small, cracked pots give way to larger and more nurturing environments where you can expand fully into that glory. With Jupiter around, there will be no shortage of beautiful new pots. And the discernment to know where to be planted will prove to be the greatest crop you could grow.

 

I am blooming into sacred spaces that support my growth.

 

 

Fifth House: This conjunction is all about how you show up in the world as your authentic self. You will learn that being able to claim your humanness, and the unique expression therein, will rely upon your ability to become master of craft and character. Superfluous avenues of joy and creation is the domain of Jupiter but painting the town red with abandon belies the depth of color and spectrum you contain, your dimensionality, your light. The energy of Saturn feels antithetical to the fifth house. But in restricting the paths of pleasure you take, in looking upon your work with a critical eye, in forcing humility out of you, Saturn aligns you with true masterpiece, with the complete and utter dedication to create a work of heart that can echo through eons. And there is joy in the process if you allow Jupiter not to just indiscriminately indulge for sake of entertainment, but to bolster the confidence with which you fight against the dying of your light.

 

My talents, creations, and authenticity light up the world.

 

Sixth House: This conjunction begins a reckoning with your service to the world and to yourself. Now is the time to lean into work that fulfills you but that also fulfills a social requirement. Does the work that you do get to work on behalf of others? Any fulfilling venture requires a heavy lift. The satisfaction of a job well done never comes from an easy solution, from coasting. You will be asked to roll up your sleeves. The heavy burden of responsibility will be passed off to you like a baton. And how you run with it will determine if you win, and how. Ambition without day-to-day effort is poorly disguised hubris. Jupiter can activate your upward mobility; it can create great pride in what you do, it may improve your station. But only work-ethic will make it stick. The service you offer yourself, how you care for your body, the routines and systems that keep your physical incarnation afloat may hit a Saturnian ice burg. And like the behemoth Titanic itself, Jupiter’s energy can expand upon the unwise ways you commandeer your vessel, but also make available to you the life rafts that can ensure a way out of choppy water.

 

I am fulfilled and fill my own cup.

 

 

 

Seventh House: This conjunction will feel like a fun house mirror because it will make you question how your relationships show up as gross distortions and reflections, and how that subverts true understanding of another and of yourself. It will make you question the diversions, distractions, and displacement of commitment in your life, where you shrink from it, where others don’t rise to the occasion of it. It will test relationships and your ability to circumvent the maze of mirrors until you land on a reflection, an other, that can see you in full, and reflect you back with some honesty and accuracy. And setting this stage in a metaphorical circus is fitting, as Jupiter transiting the 7th is all about expanded choices and offerings in your relationships, a carnival of connections to be made! It is time, though, to set boundaries, to make realistic and mature evaluations, perhaps to break free from partnerships that have no long-term viability, or to form and bolster ones that truly do. The idea you have of yourself, the respect you hold for yourself, is a direct reflection of the partners you choose. In this circus, place your efforts not on games where you must earn a prize, but on an understanding that you are the prize.

 

I am committed to the people who are committed to me.

 

Eighth House: This conjunction will enable you to move more wisely within your entanglements. Where you are jointly bound to another, to a contract, to an entity, to an obligation, to a fear response. You can move into deeper understanding of yourself through intimacy and vulnerability, or you can move deeper into debt. It is time to get serious about how you share yourself, and how others share with you. Where you overextend your precious resources, and where others overextend with you. Maybe it’s even time to see your resources as precious to begin with. Like with the second house, resources, your currency, reflects mundane transactional life but also a deeper felt bond with where you are bound. And that binding can be to your own faults and flaws, to the precarious preciousness of your humanity. Saturn can crack this open, crystalizing where you feel indebted and disquiet, making more complex your relationship to complexity. But with Jupiter, you can inherit: more assets, more forgiveness, and more understanding. Jupiter allows flexibility as you examine these entanglements, allowing greater freedom within the economy of your soul.

 

I am worth the investment.

 

 

Ninth House: This conjunction creates the beginnings of a curriculum that will give your life farer-reaching meaning. In opposition to the third house, here is where you become messiah of your message, elevating its importance by rigorously learning, teaching and expanding it until you are anointed not just with rote knowledge, but wisdom and experience, secure in what you believe. Dedicating yourself to secondary studies, certifications, and immersion in foreignness will expand your vistas in life, your opportunity to make a name for yourself, and to define a path forward. Ask anyone who has been to university—course loads, tests, failures, studying, sleepless nights, successes. But also--celebrations, new people, new mindsets, travel and a maturation of selfhood. It all culminates in the sublime experience of graduation, of crossing over the proverbial line from student to master. Life feels open and vast. Saturn is that exhaust in quest of greater understanding. It is losing sleep pouring over text in the great libraries of life. Jupiter is the joyful expansion into a galaxy-brained orientation, launching you into an endless space of consciousness, of perspectives unknown, wider, and wiser.  

 

I am always learning and growing.

 

Tenth House: This conjunction represents a pinnacle of purpose. Your development has risen into the highest part of your chart, where kings and queens are made, where legacy is established, where reputation giveth and taketh. Up until now, if you have felt small and underappreciated, these mammoth energies will introduce to you the burden of success. They will test what you are made of and ask: can you carry the weight of the crown? It is harvest season now, and you must look unflinchingly at the projects you’ve tended to, the work you put in, and deal with a bounty that mirrors it. Will these successes ring hollow? Now is when empires are made, and also when empires fall. With any star turn there is loss—of a small self, of private life, of personal affairs. Responsibility and ambition can be bitter pills if we are ill-prepared. While this conjunction can thrust you into previously unanticipated heights, it can also extend you so far into the world of renown and achievement that you become a caricature of yourself. You may need to reign in how you reign: the world is watching.

 

I am successful and move with dignity and poise.

 

Eleventh House: This conjunction plays upon the power of numbers. A singular voice in the world may go unheard, but when it aligns with similarly tuned and trained voices, a choir of camaraderie rings out demanding an audience. Personal ambitions and solo successes are nothing if they can’t rearrange the societies you belong to. You are being called to transition into group projects, to align yourself with people who share a vision, and who need your active participation. You can be introduced to many allies at this time, benefactors that move you along in the world, fans and followers who feed upon your work. You are no longer creating in a vacuum, and your ability to get along, go along, and work alongside coconspirators and collaborators will define a path of least resistance, or difficultly. Sometimes awakening to the people and groups you have outgrown and that no longer serve you pushes you into isolation. Maybe friends and peers walk away from you, exposing a latent ugliness with how you relate to others. Throwing your offering into the alphabet soup of society can feel dizzying or daunting, like you’re losing control. But you must integrate yourself into these chambers or create them from scratch. It is no longer about you, but about the groups you align with. A star shines brightly on its own, sure, but a galaxy of stars shining together is arresting and awe-inspiring. That is what will move humanity.

 

As I contribute to the world, it contributes back to me.

 

 

Twelfth House: This conjunction is reading to you from Goodnight Moon. There is a satisfaction in rest and retreat, yet also a nagging melancholy in saying goodbye, saying goodnight. But in acknowledging that you must close your eyes, in saying goodbye to familiar things, you teach yourself an enlightened lesson of object permanence: that just because things are gone for now doesn’t mean they will be gone forever. Jupiter can align you with this gift of surrender, of calling it a night, of leaning more into a metaphysical understanding of life and its losses. You are being moved and rearranged by wise forces beyond your control. Saturn in the twelfth is like father time looking back on what it has done and seeing only failure, seeing the clock tick into eternity, wondering how to make use of what is left. The lump in your throat that accompanies this depressing epilogue can feel life-threatening, but dwelling is hardly ever productive, and Saturn is a productive force. While Jupiter is urging you not to judge yourself too harshly, to lean into compassion and magic, Saturn’s dry appraisal of where you didn’t quite hit the mark sets the stage for a comeback. To know where you have failed and made mistakes is a remarkable gift of insight. To stand within the debris of your life and dare to rebuild is testament to the strength of human spirit. But now, rest, and let what dreams may come, come.

 

I surrender to the wisdom of life.

Sarah Paulson's 11th House and the Archetypal Mommy

big mommy energy!

Sarah Paulson is an actress and overall wonderful person who is kind of Hollywood’s sweetheart the the moment due to the sheer amount of wonderful content she’s been in during the last few years. She’s very talented. And beautiful.

I was watching her latest film, Run, on Hulu yesterday while running through her social media mentions. In the movie she plays an possessive mother, hellbent on keeping her daughter close to home. Her character has Munchhausen Syndrome by Proxy (that’s not a spoiler, btw!). But even before this film, it has been a long standing joke that fans and stans alike will call her “mom” or “mommy”. Internet culture is weird. Paulson has addressed it and has seemed to accept it! (We’ve done something similar with Lady Gaga’s “mother monster” persona. In fact, calling a public figure “mom” or “mommy” has become a shorthand for expressing admiration.)

What is SO FUNNY is that Paulson’s 11th house is Cancer, the archetypal mommy. And 11th house is the place of fans, followings, audience. So that her fan base calls her mom, however strange, has symbolic resonance with her chart. As per usual, we see astrology manifesting correctly in the weirdest of ways. She has Big Mommy Energy.

What’s more, she has Saturn in Cancer in that 11th house. The mom and mom-like figures (think, caretakers) she plays are often maleficent or are in creepy/unsavory plots. In Run (poisonous mom), Ratched (poisonous nurse), literally all of her roles in American Horror Story, and even her so-good-but-awful role in 12 Years a Slave, playing a cruel mistress and house mother. She even plays hated (Saturn) women (Cancer), like Marcia Clark in American Crime Story: OJ and will be back in the series playing Linda Tripp. These are controversial figures! Even in more nuanced portrayals, like that of anti-feminist housewife Alice Macray on Mrs. America, Paulson seems to symbolically tap in on the restrictive or challenging nature of Saturn placed in a sign of femininity and care taking.

There is a running joke on social media is also that Paulson’s is the queen of crying and screaming on screen. And I thought—that’s about as Saturn in Cancer as it gets! Frigid, scared, crying women. Saturn is about things that go bump in the night. Cancer is about how we emote that fear.

I find it fascinating how actors pick roles that seem to illustrate their chart. Even if in their normal waking life that part of the chart is dormant in personal affairs, it can be expressed through artistic choices. It calls to mind the roles we play within our own networks. How those fans, followers, and friends see us.

Paulson’s Moon in Aquarius rules that Cancer 11th from the 6th house, creating a nice little mutual reception. Her life’s work (6th house) is embedded in expressing that mommy archetype, even in the darkest ways (Saturn).

Princess Diana of Wales and the Posthumous Saturn Return

Princess Diana is such a behemoth public figure and will probably live on for centuries in the zeitgeist and culture. Very rarely does a human being seem to have a legacy that continues on for hundreds of years. Its a specific condition of some celebrities. I believe Princess Diana will be one of those few. So does examining current planetary transits against her chart make sense or seem weird? Her natal energy seems to continue on. This is the Saturn Return of a legacy.

Princess Diana is such a behemoth public figure and will probably live on for centuries in the zeitgeist and culture. Very rarely does a human being seem to have a legacy that continues on for hundreds of years. Its a specific condition of some celebrities. I believe Princess Diana will be one of those few. So does examining current planetary transits against her chart make sense or seem weird? Her natal energy seems to continue on. This is the Saturn Return of a legacy.

Specifically, Princess Diana would have been in her second Saturn Return right now, having been born with the planet at 27 degrees of Capricorn. The Saturn Return is a time of taking stock, making hard but necessary adjustments, and acknowledging the passing of time. Looking back on how you spent the last 27-31 years, and how you intend to move forward. Both Saturn Returns, and the rare 3rd one, are maturing factors.

Astrologer Chris Brennan pointed out that Michael J. Fox and Barack Obama, both Saturn in Capricorn, have recently released memoirs. This is one function of a Saturn Return--the act of constructive retrospection. It got me thinking of how Princess Diana has been all over the news recently because of the newest season of The Crown. Don't get me wrong, I know Princess Diana is a permanent fixture in tabloids and other media outlets. But there is a clear uptick in articles re-examining her relationships, her fashion, her motherhood, her demise, etc., now that The Crown's 4th season is available. Princess Diana's natal Saturn was at 27 degrees of Capricorn. This is where Saturn is now, and where Saturn was when The Crown premiered its 4th season two days ago.

Is Princess Diana getting a posthumous Saturn Return? The media is doing the retrospection for her, clearly, but it is very symbolic nonetheless. Saturn also rules her Aquarius 3rd house, bringing in the theme of written communication.

In looking at her chart to support this narrative, I saw Saturn sitting in her 2nd house making a trine to Venus in Taurus in her 6th house. Venus also rules her Libra mid-heaven in the 11th house. The sign of Capricorn is all about legacy, hierarchy, how we establish in ways that stand the test of time. The trine to her Venus in Taurus is emblematic of things that just stick. Could this trine echo how Princess Diana is forever loved and remembered for her style, her beauty, her duty to causes, her work in the world, her daily life--what she did in it, what she wore during it?? How she is stuck in time, young forever? By itself, can Venus in Taurus come to represent her fixed, solid, and reliable nature in the eye of the public as it relates to her love affairs, her beauty and her fashion? This Venus rules her Libra MC in the 11th house of humanity. The only other aspect Saturn makes in her chart is a square to this MC, mitigated in part because Saturn exalts in Libra.

Season 4 of The Crown has just premiered with Mercury at 8 degrees of Scorpio. Princess Diana's natal Neptune was at 8 degrees of Scorpio as well. In thinking about romanticization of a person, other- worldliness, fame, scandal, television shows, binge watching, living on in the zeitgeist, and having a saintly kind of legacy--one must look at Neptune. For Diana, it was in her 12th house. Nothing interesting is happening to Neptune in her chart regarding this theory, but the current transits of the time seem to support my narrative. Transit Mercury in her 12th house conjunct her Neptune at the exact time a television series (a very popular one) seems to dredge up and examine (Mercury in 12th) her life again is compelling. The 12th house is one of loss, death, tragedy--and her Neptune there can cement that her particular loss of life in mortal form seems to takes on a spiritual quality, a porous and imaginative quality, and most importantly, one that embeds into the culture for eons to come. Neptune does things on that scale, it can transmute physical life forms into immaterial and immortal ones. Scorpio as her 12th house cusp also explains, sadly, our morbid pre-occupation with her tragic life, why films and documentaries and, now, television shows continue to be made about her. Mercury blew all of this into an observable and rather tidy form (a series), and also manifests as the increased media coverage of her life.

Election Retrospective: How I Used Kamala Harris's Solar Return Chart to Predict a Win

I wrote this piece on Kamala Harris’s Solar Return Chart on October 20th of this year. Below, I take you through what her chart revealed about her and Biden’s recent win.

I wrote this piece on Kamala Harris’s Solar Return Chart on October 20th of this year. Below, I take you through what her chart revealed about her and Biden’s recent win.

Kamala Harris was born this day in 1964.

Solar Return charts are an effective tool for snapshotting the events and themes that can come to pass in the life of a native for the next 365 days (or until their next birthday).

Kamala's SR Sun is in Libra in the 11th house of community, peers, networks, friends, etc. I'd place politics firmly in the realm of the 11th house, as you deal impersonally with many people, matters, with he hope of changing society at large for the better, and doing so out in the open. Sun here is promising for her. But--she's a politician already, so regardless of a win or loss, she'll remain a bright spot in politics for the year to come.

Kamala's SR Sun is square Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn in her SR 2nd. Pluto and Saturn are both lifeforce suckers. In an innocuous way, we can say her 11th house activities are burdened by responsibility, restriction, challenge as far as resources and finances. The square between the 2nd house and 11th house describes the tension between what is yours, what substantiates you--and freely giving of yourself to others. The price of a dream. Frankly, wondering if this points towards all the money Harris has spent campaigning, and her personal efforts to recoup in the next year. As an indication of a win, it is iffy. Though, it doesn't harm her astrological chances, to me. The presence of Jupiter with Pluto and Saturn in her SR 2nd does suggest windfalls, financial success or ease--only to have to put it towards some Saturninan use. For example, Saturn spends money on paying off debt. Not glamourous, but necessary.

Kamala's SR Moon and ASC are in Sagittarius. This moves her natal 7th house to her SR 1st house. So one on one affairs with others are of import for her this year. Such is the work of a public figure. Oh, so many hands to shake and meetings to take! The SR Moon shows your emotional efforts and where they will be placed over the next year. Moon up front and center in her 1st house makes for an emotive year, on where she is sensitive to her environments. In Sag, those environments could very well be vast, large, and amorphous, tending to many groups of people at once. This is par for the course of any politician, but does it mean a win? Maybe. The ruler of her SR Sag is Jupiter. And her SR Jupiter is trine her SR MC and SR Venus.

Having SR Venus conjunct the midheaven is wonderful for a public career, one in which you are well-liked and received by others. Moon in the 1st does that too. Though, Venus is fallen in Virgo. So if you take detriment seriously, there is something harmed by Harris's SR Venus operating within this sign. A rote operator, a nitpicking Nancy. Though, Venus here lends a critical and helping eye, and conjunct her Virgo MC, I'd say its promising that Harris will be getting to work, and with relative ease and praise, fixing and ordering things. Again--she could do this as VP or as a regular politician or as a private citizen. Though, Venus on the MC during the year you embark on a career change is wonderfully promising. And being embolded via trine by Jupiter in establishment Capricorn helps. Her SR Sun in the 11th is ruled by this Venus as well.

Harris has natal Virgo in the 4th, so bringing the 4th to the 10th certainly makes for a year out in the open! This would be antithetical to what we saw in Hillary Clinton, where after unfairly loosing, she retreated to the woods. Harris also has natal Venus in Virgo, making her Venus Return cemented for the upcoming year.

It also helps that her SR Venus in Virgo conj. MC is getting a trine from Saturn. Helpful Saturn aspects being structure and ease of accountability and structure. We can say Venus and Saturn are both society planets in a way, with Venus how we interface one on one and Saturn placing those interactions in containers that shape society, or move it. SR Saturn trine Venus also says something scrupulous and honest about her career endeavors for this upcoming year, a practical and cautious person.

Unfortunately, Harris SR Mercury is RX and in Scorpio in the 12th. The ruler of the MC for the upcoming year in 12th house subterfuge. On the bright side, Harris has natal Mercury in Scorpio going for her. So she'd be used to the temperament here. But on the not so great side, RX Mercury in the SR 12th and opposite SR Uranus reminds me of getting shocking or sudden bad news. Information somehow held against someone. It may just color the character of the election itself--with so much mail-in voting happening, we won't really know the result of the election on election night, and rather, a couple of weeks or EVEN MONTHS after. Mercury RX during mail-in ballot season is awful as far as losing things, organizing things, counting things, etc. It's going to be a shit show. But because this Mercury rules of Harris's SR MC and Venus--it may be that this confusion ultimately works out for her win. Harris's natal Scorpio is in the 6th house of government and bureaucracy, of the mundane things we do to establish order. That moving to the 12th speaks to the chaos that can ensue.

Joe Biden will have a birthday on 11/20, after the election. Without getting too far into it, his SR Sun is in his 1st, and rules his SR MC in Leo. His SR Mercury is also right on his SR ASC of Scorpio, and his SR Moon in Capricorn is involved in a tight conjunction with SR Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter in the 3rd. There is something serious and sober about that. Plus SR Mercury on the ASC shows a busy bee for the year.

Interesting to note both Harris and Biden have SR Sun sextile Moon, showing a year of movement, heightened vitality, enthusiasm, and ultimately pivot points in the life of a native.

So, do I think they will win? Yup. Technically anyway. But it will be messy, hard-fought, chaotic, and eventful.
