Race For a New Democratic Nominee: A Brief Introduction to the Astrology of the Four Leading Ladies
Will there be a Smooth Transition or a Cat Fight? Will Biden Refuse to Bow Out? Would they Dare Consider a Man?
Hillary Clinton:
She is the former 2016 Democrat Party nominee from 2016 when she ran against Donald Trump. At 77 years old, she is not the optimal candidate for an electorate looking for youthful reassurance and a fresh face. She won the popular vote against Trump but lost in the electoral college where it counts. She is reportedly angling to run again and would no doubt relish the opportunity to have a rematch with Trump. She brings name recognition and a large donor base. She is not the odds-on favorite to be the nominee this time, but I wouldn’t count her out.
Scorpio Sun - gives intensity and deep emotional feeling. The Scorpion may appear vengeful and manipulative at times.
Pisces Moon - highly sensitive to the point of being psychic. Reality can ware them down emotionally and lead to addictions and excessive daydreaming. Service to others and artistic pursuits provide for a much needed expression of their sensitive nature.
Gemini rising - gives a restless nature. They don’t sit still unless they’re on the phone. “…sociable, intelligent, and committed to an idea or cause” (1).
Michelle Obama:
Former first lady to the 44th president, of the United States, Barack Obama. She is very popular with the public and said to be the only person who can beat Trump. She has repeatedly stated that she has no interest in running for president. Unlike some western European countries, the U.S. does not have a history of electing the spouses of former leaders. At 60 years old, she would seem young compared to our two current candidates. She has name recognition and no personal baggage. She would be carrying the legacy of the Obama presidency which is seen as favorable in the mainstream press, but has come in for criticism in the alternative press.
Capricorn Sun - brings responsible individuals who build strong foundations for the future. They gracefully holding on to the mountainside as they travel ever higher.
Pisces Moon - closely conjunct Venus brings “emotional grace and harmony, gentleness and sensitivity…” can be overly sensitive and sentimental (2).
Rising sign - is unknown. Michelle’s birth time was not recorded.
Kamala Harris:
is 59 years old and the Vice President of the United States. She has previously served as District Attorney of San Francisco in addition to being Attorney General and United States Senator of California. She is the first woman, first African-American, and first South-Asian American to be elected to serve as Vice-President. See my post, Full Moon Rising, showing her astrological alignments on the first day of the Democratic National Convention.
Libra Sun - aspires to idealism and balance. They seek out the other in order to define themselves. They are often stylish and witty (3).
Aries Moon - compulsive and domineering you struggle to effectively integrate feelings and emotions into your self-centered and competitive nature (4).
Gemini rising - part child she enjoys throwing extravagant parties. She is both charming, flirtatious, and enthusiastic; she was born for adventure and excitement (5).
Gretchen Whitmer:
is the Governor of Michigan. At 52 years old she is the youngest of the four contenders. She was elected to the Michigan House of Representatives in 2000. In 2006, she won a special election to the state senate, serving in that chamber until 2015. As a female Governor, of a must win state for the Democrats, she has been heavily promoted as a viable alternative to lead the party to victory should Biden step aside.
Virgo Sun - brings ingenuity, versatility, and self-sufficiency. Over identification with work can lead to irritability and health problems (6).
Libra Moon - are dependent upon others to verify their feelings of self-worth. Being judgemental they put their own self-esteem at risk (7). They are social climbers who may become unsympathetic to the plight of those less fortunate.
Aries Rising - women enjoy trespassing into the world of male dominated tasks. Independent and confident they have no desire to be dominated and controlled. Tank tops and barbecues appeal far more than a night at the ballet (8).
