My 2016 US election prediction is based on analysis of the astrology chart for election day, Tuesday November 8 2016. I have already written about the astrology of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump but those interpretations were about their personalities, not their election chances. This time I will consider the election day transits to their horoscopes.
As with the candidates horoscopes, I am taking a politically unbiased approach to this 2016 US election prediction. Although politically unbiased, by reading the articles about the candidates you can see I wrote more favorably about Donald Trump. This was simply because after interpreting their horoscopes, I personally liked Donald while I thought Hillary was a nasty piece of work.
2016 US Election Prediction Astrology
Starting with the astrology of election day, the horoscope below is set for the White House at sunrise on November 8 2016. The opening or closing of polls could also be used but that gets complicated because of early voting and the various times zones. I am hoping the chart for the beginning of the day will give us some idea about the outcome at the end of the day.
The first thing to note is that Saturn square Neptune has waned to more than six degree orb. I expect this to benefit Clinton because much of Trump’s rhetoric so far has been based on fear and paranoia about immigration.
Jupiter sextile Saturn suggests sound judgement and common sense will prevail. However, Jupiter square Pluto still points to extreme ideologies while Neptune conjunct South Node tells us the 2016 US election will be associated with lies, propaganda and scandal. This should peak the next morning with Moon conjunct Neptune at 9:14 am, Wednesday November 9 EST.
I could use this election day chart to compare the prospects of Democrats versus Republican but I cannot pass up this unique opportunity to compare the health or otherwise of Venus versus Mars, or the woman versus the man.
Venus trine Uranus suggest an exciting change for women. Uranus trine Midheaven means a positive change in president. Venus trine Midheaven suggests good prospects for a female president. Each of these aspects is strengthened by the formation of a grand trine aspect pattern.
Moon at the midpoint of Venus trine Uranus at the base of the chart indicates to me a groundswell of public support for the first female president of the United States. Mars looks very lonely in comparison, sorry Mr. Trump.
Another technique to use for the 2016 US election prediction is to consider transits to the national horoscope of the USA. I’m sure there will be enough arguments about the candidate so I will leave the controversy about which USA horoscope to use for another day.
The transits for each candidate listed below are corrected for precession. Precession of the equinoxes is the process whereby the planets appear to move forward through the zodiac at a rate of one degree every 72 years.
I have used the 8:02 am birth time for Clinton but not included natal Moon, Ascendant or Midheaven because of the unreliable nature of the birth time.
Hillary Clinton Election Transits
- Uranus trine Saturn 0°36′
- Saturn trine Mars 0°12′ and Pluto 0°38′
- Venus opposite Uranus 1°20′
- Mercury conjunct Mercury 1°15′ square Saturn 1°20′
- Sun sextile Venus 0°41′
- Moon square N.Node 0°02′
Donald Trump Election Transits
- Solar eclipse sextile Mercury 0°19
- Lunar eclipse square Sun 0°26 trine Saturn 0°27 sextile MC 1°00
- Neptune sextile Mercury 0°34
- Uranus trine Moon 0°37 sextile North Node 0°13
- Mercury trine Saturn 1°11
- Moon trine Sun 0°36
As mentioned earlier I am politically unbiased but personally like Donald Trump more than Hillary Clinton. Perhaps that is a Mars on Regulus thing that we share.
As for my 2016 US election prediction my heart says Donald but my head says Hillary. With transiting Neptune opposite my Moon and Saturn square it, I don’t trust my intuition at the moment.
Based purely on the election day horoscope and the transits for both candidates I predict Hillary Clinton to be the next president of the United States. The main clincher for me was transiting Saturn trine the Mars Pluto conjunction in Hillary’s horoscope. Mars conjunct Pluto gives a ruthless desire to achieve goals.
Donald also has a number of favorable transits but a challenging one is the September 16 lunar eclipse square his Sun. Hillary does not have such a challenging major transit.
