(9 November 2022)
The end result of yesterday’s US midterm elections stays unknown immediately
as many races are nonetheless too near name.  With a near-even break up of
seats in each the Home and the Senate, it might be days and even weeks
earlier than we all know which celebration will win management.  US inventory markets bought off
immediately on the sudden uncertainty, after many polls had prompt a
Republican “pink wave” which did not materialize.

This sudden end result was maybe not so very sudden from an
astrological perspective.  In a earlier put up, I had famous that the
midterm election coincided with a lunar eclipse which considerably
elevated the chance of unsure outcomes.  The disruptive
potential of the eclipse was additional elevated because it occurred at 22
levels of sidereal Aries and thus precisely conjoined Uranus, the planet
of unpredictable and stunning occasions.  The destructive market influence
doubtless derived not from the eclipse itself, nonetheless, however from the actual fact
that eclipse highlighted the continued Saturn-Uranus sq..  As we all know,
planetary alignments involving Saturn are normally bearish for market
sentiment.

So what occurs now? In market phrases, it’s doable we may see
additional weak spot this week as Mercury and the Solar sq. Saturn, both
due to the continued election uncertainty or maybe from tomorrow’s
CPI report within the US.  Politically, there’s some probability that Biden and
the Democrats may salvage the state of affairs over the weekend.  Biden’s
chart remains to be fairly troubled by the continued Saturn-Uranus sq. and
Saturn’s side to his natal Mars (19 Libra) and Mercury (28 Libra).
And but there may very well be some enchancment in his fortunes on Sunday and
Monday as Venus and Jupiter align together with his Solar-Venus conjunction at 4-5
Scorpio, in addition to aspecting his natal Jupiter at 2 Most cancers.   On Sunday
night, the Moon will be part of this alignment and create a “Grand Trine”
the place every planet is separated by 120 levels. That is normally a sign
for beneficial developments.  Whereas it’s unimaginable to know if this
will likely be election associated, it nonetheless opens the door to some good
information.  One doable state of affairs could be that the end result of a key Senate
races is finalized on Sunday or early subsequent week that permits Democrats to
retain management of that chamber.

The opposite beneficial time window for Biden and the Democrats is
round Nov 19-20 when the Solar conjoins Biden’s Solar-Venus conjunction.
As an added plus, each Mercury and Venus will conjoin Biden’s Ascendant,
though we should always notice there’s nonetheless some uncertainty in regards to the
accuracy of Biden’s start time.  Nonetheless, which means even when
Senate management isn’t clear by early subsequent week, the Democrats may get
some extra optimistic election-related information on this second beneficial time
window.

The opposite factor working in Biden’s favour right here is that Jupiter is due
to finish its retrograde cycle and station direct at 4 levels of Pisces
on Nov 23.  It will kind an actual 120 diploma side to each his
Solar-Venus conjunction and his his natal Jupiter and will present a
short-term enhance for him at numerous factors in the course of the month of November.
This optimistic Jupiter affect will doubtless dissipate after Nov 23 as
it begins to separate from the natal Solar and Venus.

The opposite takeaway from the election is the comparatively weaker
place of former president Donald Trump.  The failure of the “pink
wave” of GOP seats was a partial rejection by voters of his extra radical
platform that questioned US election integrity.  After the defeat of
a number of of his endorsed candidates, his potential candidacy for the 2024
election is now unsure.  Betting markets now put Florida governor Ron
DeSantis because the favorite to be the GOP nominee over Trump for the
first time.

We will see some astrological indications for Trump’s disappointing
election consequence.  Not solely was retrograde Mars conjunct his Solar and
reverse his Moon, however Mars is forming a really troublesome sq. alignment
with Neptune.  The continuing Neptune sq. together with his Solar-Moon natal
opposition is the main purpose why Trump has been on the defensive this
yr, as he makes an attempt to deflect duty for his position in January 6
Capitol riot.  Trump is prone to stay weakened politically into
early 2023 at the least because the Saturn-Neptune alignment (Dec 2022) after which
the Saturn-Pluto alignment (Mar 2023) activate key factors in his
horoscope.
