NY’s Second Avenue Subway

What’s the horoscope of a subway look like? Manhattan’s Second Avenue subway left 57th Street and 7th Avenue for the first time at 12:01 PM on New Year’s Day, 2017, according to AM New York. The train extends service in the Upper East Side to 96th Street.

Mercury retrograde in the 9th house already provided a broken elevator at 86th Street, a locked women’s room, and a recording announcing delays from “train traffic ahead.” But as Mercury also sextiles Mars and Neptune, the ride was completed successfully.

The Moon conjoins and exactly parallel’s Venus in Aquarius in the 11th house, with both trining Jupiter in Libra. Jupiter indicates large-scale transit, and conjoins the 7th house cusp, insuring popularity. Real estate commentators expect prices in the surrounding neighborhoods to rise. As Venus rules the 2nd house of money and the Moon rules the 4th of property, their trine to Jupiter confirms this obvious assessment. The Sun in Capricorn at the Midheaven and conjoining Pluto also suggests an important business transformation.

The most dynamic configuration in the chart is a close angular T-square of Uranus rising opposite Jupiter on the Descendant, with both squaring Pluto in the 10th house. Astrologically it appears that this extension is both notable and innovative. Pluto in Capricorn’s influence echoes the fact that it’s taken over 70 years to replace the Second Avenue elevated train that was demolished in the 1940s. The MTA promises more efficient travel times for many, but it appears that there may be some significant issues to resolve before that becomes a reality.

The next planned phase will extend the line to Harlem.

What is it About Jackie?

The Kennedy saga continues as we now have a major motion picture focusing on Jackie. Why is her legacy so enduring?

Jackie had the Sun in Leo, the sign of royalty, high in the sky in the 9th house. The Sun closely trines Uranus and both sextile Jupiter in the 7th house of the public and partnerships. This is a dynamic combination that easily attracts attention, and she was best known for her two prominent marriages.

Leo also falls on the Midheaven, which closely conjoins Neptune in Virgo, inspiring fantasies. Jackie is remembered for her glamorous image, fashion consciousness and breathy uber-feminine voice – all part of the allure of Neptune and its placement in the 10th house of reputation and status. These characteristics came naturally, since Neptune forms a grand trine with Saturn in Sagittarius and the Moon in Aries. Saturn’s trines also give her staying power.

Jackie’s Scorpio Ascendant increased her mystique, particularly since it closely trines Pluto on the 9th house cusp. Known for her dignity and fortitude in times of misfortune, she would have found it difficult to express any weakness in public.

The country’s obsession with Jackie is illuminated by declination. Her Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Pluto are all parallel within about 3 degrees, and most are also parallel the U.S. Uranus, planet of fascination. And her Moon progresses Out of Bounds in declination, which can reveal high points in prominence (Donald Trump was experiencing this progression during his presidential campaign and the election; Hillary Clinton had it during her first presidential run and her first years as Secretary of State).

Jackie’s Moon had progressed OOB in the north for much of her time as First Lady. It was once again well OOB (27 North) when her biopic premiered. Her Moon continues OOB through 2018, so we should be hearing more about her. She’ll also experience her third Saturn return in 2017, further consolidating her renown.

Jackie Kennedy Onassis was born on July 28, 1929 at 2:30 PM in Southampton, New York, rated A on Astrodatabank.

Saturn and the Ancestors

With Saturn closely parallel my Midheaven and trine my Ascendant, I’ve always felt drawn toward my family’s past. Saturn represents both yesteryear and authority figures. It also rules old structures as well as the grave. So it’s obvious why Saturn also rules our ancestors and the study of genealogy.

My grandfather died when I was a little girl, but he had a tremendous influence on me (his Moon conjoins my Ascendant). He was a pianist who played by ear. When he passed, his piano came to me and became my focus. I learned how to play step-by-step though, in a more typical Saturn manner. (Once I began studying astrology in earnest, my musical studies faded out.)

When I moved back to Brooklyn it felt like coming home, as it brought back memories of my childhood visits to my grandparents. And I now live within a few miles of their homes, as well as the cemetery and family lots where many of my ancestors, including my dad, are all buried.

My office is within walking distance of where my grandfather lived with his family as a young man, after they crossed the Manhattan Bridge from Little Italy into Brooklyn over 100 years ago.

In studying any family genealogy, you’ll find unusual astrological correspondences. One of my Italian great-grandfathers, who I first discovered through his Will filed at the Brooklyn Surrogate’s Court in 1932, has his Jupiter closely conjunct my Sun; he led me on a journey into my family’s past. My great-grandmother’s Sun is closely conjunct my Moon. These people have resonance for me, although I’ve never met them. My grandfather’s Venus closely conjoins my Jupiter, showing our musical connection. His Jupiter in Virgo exactly conjoins my Pluto, which might suggest why his influence on me deepened and played out for many years after his death.

I share numerous close aspects with all of my parents and grandparents; so many planets are involved. But I think it’s ultimately the bones of Saturn that continue to draw them to me and keep them all nearby.

Election 2016: Afterthoughts

The election is over and most of us astrologers forecast an incorrect outcome. At least we weren’t alone! Most in the news thought Hillary had an easier path to the presidency.

While the polls showed a very close race, commentators suggested that Trump’s ability to forge a lead in electoral votes was difficult. We are all still under a long-standing influence from Saturn square Neptune, with Neptune stationary at the time of the election. This not only undermines confidence in authority figures, like politicians and police, for example, but it also inhibits our ability to project (Neptune) accurately into the future (Saturn). And the public appears to have become tired (Neptune) of doing things the same old way (Saturn).

I’m leaving all of my Election posts up so readers can follow my thought processes. Some things I may have misjudged include the following:

The birth charts themselves: Trump’s chart promises more possibilities and a better reputation than Hillary’s, who with many squares had to fight harder for her successes in life. And of course we’re not certain of Hillary’s birth time, which could change many things. (We also lacked birth times for Mike Pence and Melania.)

Trump’s progressed Moon Out-of-Bounds: This is a powerful progression, but I limited its interpretation in Trump’s chart in response to Hillary’s inability to gain the presidential nomination in 2008, when she had her own Moon beginning to progress OOB.

The transit of Uranus in Trump’s 9^th house exactly trining his Moon less than two weeks after the election should have been emphasized over Saturn – it characterized what many called a stunning victory. I also may have over-emphasized the negativity of Saturn’s oppositions in December and January. There is always the question of whether taking on a major position is the result of a flowing or challenging aspect from Saturn, making the outcome difficult to call. But the next few months will no doubt be tough on Trump.

I’m curious to see what becomes of Tim Kaine. With his Saturn return in 2017 and Pluto transiting his 10^th house Mars in Capricorn, it seemed obvious to me that he would take a big step forward in his career. The Pluto aspect is exact for the final time in December. Something about this election has fundamentally changed things for him and they will continue to develop next year.

I may not have followed my own advice to avoid bias and the influence of the polls as much as I should have. Over the weeks I studied the charts, the evidence seemed to be piling up for Hillary. But Bill Clinton’s transit Saturn chasing his progressed Moon didn’t promise a big victory. I thought this reflected a back-seat role in the White House. But once again we return to the question of whether Saturn brings responsibilities or a lack of opportunity.

I misinterpreted the past Saturn cycle for both of the Clinton’s – when Saturn was in the same place Bill was Governor of Arkansas and declined to run again. While Hillary had independent appointments at that time, the decision limited both of their movement forward toward their ultimate goals – which parallels 2016.

The delineation of progressions was challenging. For example, Trump’s progressed Ascendant conjoined the US progressed Midheaven, but it was nearly 2 degrees past. The US progressed MC also conjoined Trump’s progressed Jupiter, but it, too, was moving away. And I felt Hillary’s progressed MC trining US progressed Jupiter more significant. While the outcome may support my use of a Gemini rising chart for the US, we can never rely on public birth times to be exact.

Hillary Clinton had a new Solar Return two weeks before the election, and I overlooked it – considering her Solar for the campaign year instead. The correct Solar Return is not great.

In writing posts every week or so, I also addressed the charts of the candidates in more of a linear fashion than I usually do, which perhaps also detracted from my judgment.

In the final analysis, we need to remember that astrology is not an exact science. I feel that after forecasting six presidential elections correctly (two for Clinton, two for Bush, two for Obama), I may have become overconfident. Still, 6 out of 7 correct is pretty good – over 85% – and many astrologers have the same record of accuracy.

Election 2016: Final Thoughts

The Presidential Election is upon us and most astrologers agree that Hillary Clinton will win. I’ve presented a number of astrological techniques that support the same outcome, but there are many ways to look at the election astrologically.

I considered the Moon’s progressed declination, but not the other planets, which are slow-moving and can be very powerful. I haven’t looked at eclipses, which are basic to astrological forecasting. Consideration of candidates’ announcements, ingress, polls opening and inauguration and charts are also often used. And I’ve seen terrific use of the asteroids as well.

The campaign was strongly colored by the Saturn-Neptune square, which was exact for the final time in September of 2016. Both of the candidates are flawed (Neptune) authority figures (Saturn), with many voters unable to fully commit to either. Some of the obvious Saturn-Neptune ideas discussed include a literal “wall” to block Neptunian illegal immigrants, and carelessness (Neptune) with classified (Saturn) e-mails.

Hillary Clinton’s horoscope is heavily Scorpio and fixed signs, while Donald Trump’s is strongly Gemini and more mutable – the two couldn’t be more different astrologically. What they have in common is Saturn, the planet of authority and position, in signs of its detriment (opposite its ruling signs). Donald has Saturn in Cancer and a background in real estate and property management. Hillary, with Saturn in Leo, is more of a career public figure. They also both share Mars and Pluto in Leo – showing why Donald might admire her energy and stick-to-it-iveness and she his children, both Leo-ruled. While hugely successful, the two have struggled for the ultimate high-status position, excellent examples of how planets in their debility can push people to achieve. But it’s also taken time and effort for both to get where they are today. (Barack Obama, for example, with Saturn in Capricorn, came to office with relative ease and at a much younger age.)

The two candidates also share an emphasis on the nodes. Trump was born on the day of a total lunar eclipse (with the Sun conjoining the North Node and the Moon opposite); Clinton has the South Node rising. These placements may account for some of the drama in this campaign. Bill Meridian quotes Charles Jayne as writing that, “The birth of rulers near eclipses indicates either the start or end of a dynastic line and often a state.” Thankfully, we don’t need to worry about that, given the fact that Donald Trump is unlikely to win.

I was curious about presidential eclipses and checked out Frances McEvoy’s comprehensive “A Roll Call of Presidents” in the NCGR Geocosmic Magazine from the fall of 1996. There has never been a U.S. President born on an eclipse. A contemporary politician similar to Trump astrologically is Newt Gingrich, who was also born with the Sun in Gemini opposite the Moon in Sagittarius, perhaps one reason why Gingrich recently defended Trump in a live interview with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly! (Kelly, funnily enough, has the Sun and Venus in Scorpio like Hillary.)

Scorpio is a common sign in the White House, and there have been five other Scorpio presidents (John Adams, James Polk, James Garfield, Theodore Roosevelt and Warren Harding). There have only been two previous Gemini presidents, John F. Kennedy and George H.W. Bush, though both were elected in the late 20^th century and the Scorpio presidents served earlier.

Hillary’s Birth Time?

Last Friday, The Washington Post covered data researcher Marc Penfield’s support of a 2:18 am birth time for Hillary Clinton. (See Source notes at Astrodatabank.), saying that “he retracted his claim.”

Ray Merriman of ISAR had written on October 2, stating that Penfield wrote about this time, provided by Hillary’s cousin, as early as 2007. Another astrologer, Zayin Cohen, confirmed the time and says he saw the actual birth record at the City Clerk’s office.

The lack of a definitive birth time for Hillary has been getting some play in the media – a plus for astrologers. Here’s the Wall Street Journal’s 9/29/16 take on the situation.

I’ve been using an 8:02 AM time for Clinton, one of the most common that she and her mother have provided over the years. I’m not clear why astrologers hadn’t adopted the 2:18 AM time if it’s based on documentation.

Birth times for public figures are often questionable. While a number of my conclusions about the election are drawn from astrological techniques utilizing the Midheaven, Ascendant and Moon, which would change with a different birth time, I still think that Hillary Clinton will win the presidential election. The beauty of utilizing so many astrological techniques to arrive at a judgment is that we end up relying less on any one particular element of the analysis. I’m betting on it!

Election 2016: Vice Presidents

One of the Vice Presidential candidates will have a major life change as a result of the November 8, 2016 Presidential election. Which of their birth charts indicates who will more likely be in office next year?

Indiana Governor Mike Pence was born on June 7, 1959 in Columbus, Indiana. We are limited in that no birth time is available for him. Like his running mate Donald Trump, he has the Sun and Mercury in Gemini and Mars in Leo.

Pence’s Sun and Mercury have progressed into attention-loving Leo, with both conjoining his natal Uranus. This shows his sudden elevation to candidacy and a national platform. Progressed Venus in Virgo is beginning to leave a square to his Sun (nearly a degree past).

Mike also has some very good transits on Election Day. Transiting Uranus will nearly exactly sextile natal Mercury, echoing the progressed aspects. This could indicate a new administrative position. Transiting Jupiter conjoins his North Node and will soon trine his Sun. However transiting Saturn will oppose his Sun exactly just a little over a week after the election. This is not great for career. While Jupiter facilitates the Sun’s development this fall, Saturn limits it. To my mind, Saturn is stronger as it’s slower-moving.

Virginia Senator Tim Kaine was born on February 26, 1958 at 7:59 AM, in St. Paul, Minnesota according to his birth certificate and Astrodatabank. His Sun and Mercury in Pisces are the same sign as Hillary Clinton’s Moon.

Kaine’s secondary progressed Sun in Taurus is less than 2 degrees from sextiling his natal Sun, but is over 2 degrees from sextiling natal Mercury in Pisces. This sets up a midpoint situation with the sextile (very similar to Pence’s progressed Sun and Mercury to natal Uranus). Kaine’s progressed Mars is less than a degree and a half from opposing natal Pluto.

Tim’s progressed Midheaven at 0 Pisces 24 is just a hair over one degree of trining natal Jupiter – showing success with the public since Jupiter is in his 7^th house. His progressed Ascendant at 28 Gemini 16 is past opposing his natal Saturn and approaches a trine to natal Jupiter and a sextile to Pluto (close to trining the PMC as well). The early (PMC) and late (P Asc) degrees are sign-changers, in keeping with important life developments.

Without Pence’s birth time, however, we can’t compare progressions of the Midheaven and Ascendant. The remaining progressed aspects are certainly no better or worse for either candidate.

Tim Kaine’s transits, though, are quite striking. He has Mars exalted in the sign of Capricorn in his 10^th house of career in his birth chart, one of his most elevated planets. Mars also rules his Aries Ascendant. This gives him a steady drive towards status and recognition throughout his life. Capricorn relates to time and is appropriate for reaching a high office at a mature age. While natal Mars doesn’t have close major aspects, it has flowing quintiles to Kaine’s Neptune in the 7^th house of the public.

Transiting Pluto has been conjoining Tim Kaine’s Mars throughout 2016 and will be within a degree of Mars on Election Day (similar to the energies of Progressed Mars opposing natal Pluto). This shows a slow and steady transformation in his career. He is leaving his past behind somehow and moving into new territory.

Perhaps even more importantly, Tim Kaine will experience his second Saturn return in January 2017, when he would take office. The Saturn return often represents the next step in career development, building on past experience, or moving into a new phase of life. All would be appropriate for the Vice Presidential office.

These quick assessments confirm that Clinton and Kaine will win the election. But since Saturn figures strongly in both candidate’s transits, let’s look back and see what they were doing in 1987 – when Saturn was also at 15 Sagittarius, as it will be at the time of the election.

Mike Pence graduated from law school in 1986 and went into private practice. In late 1987, he decided to run for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives and won the Republication Nomination the following year (his father had died shortly before that). Pence lost the subsequent election against his Democratic competitor. He was very young and inexperienced in politics, but the repeat of Saturn’s cycle suggests that his Vice Presidential candidacy in 2016 may be premature.

Tim Kaine was a young civil rights lawyer in 1987. He represented a convicted murderer on death row who was brain damaged and borderline retarded, and attempted to keep him from the electric chair. The man was executed on July 12, 1987. However that year Kaine also became a director of a law firm and began teaching legal ethics part-time at the University of Richmond.

We can see that he began new positions, as his running mate Hillary Clinton did at her previous Saturn cycle as well. The Saturn cycle confirms once again that the Democrats will win the 2016 election.

Election 2016 – Progressions IV

Hillary Clinton’s progressions to the U.S. progressed chart more specifically suggest connecting with the public and attaining higher office than Trump’s.

The U.S. progressed Saturn falls at 3 Scorpio in the 10^th house of leadership and position, less than a degree from Hillary’s natal Sun. This aspect will be in effect for many years. For example, in January of 2020, it has turned retrograde and is actually closer to conjoining Hillary’s Sun, an argument that she’ll not only win this election but perhaps also stay in office for two terms.

Clinton’s progressed Moon is in Libra in the U.S. progressed 9^th house, approaching a conjunction with the U.S. Progressed Mars. It also closely squares the U.S. progressed Jupiter in Cancer in the 7^th house on election day. These confirm both her popularity as well as her lack of wholehearted acceptance with voters . (Her progressed Moon will travel through the U.S. progressed 10^th and 11^th houses over the next four years.)

Clinton’s progressed Sun, Mercury and Ascendant all fall into the U.S. progressed 1^st house, showing a joining of interests. The U.S. P. Ascendant falls in her natal 2^nd house, with the U.S. P. Midheaven in her 11^th. Both reflect fixed influences, and the U.S. MC in her 11^th suggests a joining of interests to me. To my mind, these are both more prominent than the country’s current connection to Trump’s natal 3^rd and 5^th.

Most important is that Hillary’s progressed Midheaven is in the U.S. progressed 11^th house (doubling the influence of the U.S. P. MC also in her 11^th). This indicates shared goals and a shared interest in the community at this point in time. In addition, Hillary’s progressed MC is about 20 minutes from trining the U.S. progressed Jupiter in the 7^th house. This is very significant, showing her career direction as connecting with a position before the public in a big way.

While Hillary Clinton may have fewer progressed connections with the U.S. progressed chart than Donald Trump, I feel that hers are more descriptive of a win in November. I’m already feeling that she will win the election. Of the techniques we’ve looked at so far – Solar Returns, Progressed Declination, Solar Arcs, Progressions, and Progressed to U.S. Progressed, Trump has only come out ahead in Progressed Declination, which to my mind indicates publicity rather than definitive success.

If we look at the tri-wheel of the progressed charts of the U.S., Clinton and Trump, it’s interesting to see the influences piling up in air signs in 2016. The U.S., Trump and Clinton all have progressed planets in Libra in the U.S. progressed 9^th house. The two candidates’ progressed Uranus and Neptunes are in Gemini and Libra, with the progressed U.S. Uranus is also in Gemini. (In December the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction moves into Aquarius – mutating into air signs.)

But to further complicate things, Raymond Merriman has recently announced that Marc Penfield has a new documented birth time for Hillary Clinton, which he’ll discuss at the ISAR International Symposium on October 16. Since so many of these calculations are tied to her birth time, it could make a big difference.

I’ll look at Transits for both of the candidates next.

Election 2016: Progressions III – to U.S.

To forecast the outcome of a political election, some Astrologers look at the candidates’ comparative aspects to the U.S. chart to see what their connections to the country are. This is a good thought, but some candidates, like Hillary Clinton, have longstanding relationships with the country, and this technique doesn’t narrow it down to a particular time. We might do the candidates’ progressed aspects to the U.S. chart, which would reveal the point in time that affiliations between the two would likely occur. But I prefer to compare progressed to progressed aspects, which tell us more about each candidate’s connection to the U.S. flow of history as well.

Donald Trump’s progressed Ascendant in late Libra falls right on the U.S. progressed Midheaven (less than 2 degrees past), and his progressed Jupiter, though an extremely slow influence, is a little over a degree from conjoining the U.S. PMC, a close tie. This shows him going toward high government office. However the U.S. PMC falls in his 3^rd house and the U.S. P. Asc. in his 5^th. While both might be more fortunate than not, they are not the strongest of houses.

Donald’s progressed Ascendant and MC in late and early degrees indicate a significant period of change in his life: leaving one type of career and entering a new phase in self-expression, which would be appropriate for a newbie to political office.

His progressed Ascendant is over 2-1/2 degrees from squaring the U.S. progressed Pluto in Capricorn. At the same time, his progressed Midheaven in early Leo is leaving a square to Pr. U.S. Pluto (less than a degree and a half past). Due to midpoint influences, this creates a dynamic T-square. We can see his slogan of “making America great again” in these transformative aspects to Pluto, yet the nature of Pluto signifies more of a crash and burn relationship to me. And with the U.S. Pluto in Capricorn, party authorities are already reshaping Trump’s message and testing his depth, not the other way around.

Donald Trump’s progressed Moon in Cancer approaches a conjunction with the U.S. progressed North Node on Election Day. By the Inauguration, it will be around half a degree of conjoining it. (His progressed Moon also squares the U.S. progressed Venus at the same time.) The Nodes may indicate a sense of destiny playing out. And Trump’s P. Moon and U.S. P. N. Node also line up with his own natal Saturn. These are all significant, however the progressed Moon moves quickly, progressed Nodes are extremely slow, and to my mind, natal Saturn in Cancer is just not great (see my earlier analysis of this progression).

Perhaps more important, Donald Trump’s progressed Venus in Libra conjoins the U.S. Mars in its P. 9^th house. However it will be less than a degree from the conjunction until at least mid-2017, which seems a little late to apply specifically to the election the previous November.

Progressing the Ascendant and Midheaven, especially for questionable times like the U.S.A., adds an additional margin of error. The above charts are what seem to work for me. I use Evangeline Adams’ Gemini rising U.S. chart.

Election 2016: Progressions II

Hillary Clinton’s progressions are much more dynamic and significant than Donald Trump’s, but once again we have to ask whether they specifically indicate success or a new position.

Clinton’s progressed Moon is in Libra in her 11^th house (based on an 8:02 AM birth time) and is nearly exactly sextile Mars on election day, 11/8/16. In addition, transiting Jupiter will conjoin the progressed Moon and sextile natal Mars within about a week. The combination signifies an expanded connection with the public and is excellent for her.

The progressed Moon is leaving a conjunction with Clinton’s Neptune, which highlights the continuing scandals as well as her ill health not long before the election. I feel that approaching aspects are stronger, and Neptune can be confusing, but it, too, may also add to her resonance with the public.

Progressed Mars conjoins her 10^th house cusp, which is a powerful indicator of initiatives in her career. A focal point of Hillary’s chart is Mercury in Scorpio closely conjunct her Ascendant, with Venus in Scorpio also conjunct Mercury from the 12^th house. Progressed Mars has passed a quintile aspect to her Venus, is still about 2 degrees from a quintile to her Mercury, and is over 2 degrees from aspecting her Ascendant. However P. Mars remains very close to quintile the midpoint of her Mercury-Venus-Ascendant as they combine influences.

In a notable repetition of influences, Hillary’s Solar Arc Uranus conjoins her Midheaven and progressed Mars, while also activating the quintile pattern to her natal Scorpio planets. Uranus conjunct Mars in the 10th is a wild influence concerning status and position. Uranus, though, is not reliable, and there may be more surprising ups and downs for Hillary before November 8^th.

The quintile aspect (72 degrees) isn’t the most commonly used, but most astrologers agree that it’s a harmonious and flowing aspect that facilitates events. This fifth harmonic aspect relates to the 5^th house and the Sun, and both may point toward luck and success. (Quintiles are common, but I do feel they’re a little stronger than sextiles as they’re a smaller division of the circle.)

Clinton’s progressed MC at about 15 Scorpio has just squared her natal Pluto in the 9th, and is a little over a degree from conjoining her Venus. More importantly, however, it’s also falling within the zone of the quintile from progressed Mars. Despite repeated questions of influence or legality (Pluto in the 9^th), she continues to be popular.

Venus rules Hillary’s 7^th house, relating to the public, and her progressed Venus is less than a degree from trining natal Neptune in the 11^th, allowing her to gain ideological support from a broad audience.

Hillary Clinton’s progressed Sun and Mercury in Capricorn are each less than a degree past squaring Neptune. These aspects highlight her loss of credibility, continuing insinuations of scandals, and ill health. However it does seem to me that she is coming away from these Neptunian situations, since they are departing aspects.

I use secondary progressions by true Solar Arc, and other methods will change these aspects. I would not have the confidence to calculate them so exactly by hand, and we therefore must rely on our calculation programs. And of course, Hillary’s birth time is in question, and I’ve focused a lot on aspects to her 10^th house and Ascendant. However, I still believe that her progressions are much more powerful than Donald Trump’s, and that they more accurately point toward winning a new position.

Scorecard: Solar Returns – Clinton. Progressed Moon’s Declination – Trump. Solar Arcs – Clinton. Progressions – Clinton.

I’ll look at transits to each of the candidate’s charts in my next post.
