2020 presidential election Archives - Lynn Hayes astrology readings and writings

Astrological update for the week of November 16, 2020 including election post-mortem

Last week we finished a couple of important astrological cycles (the Jupiter/Pluto conjunction and the fact that Mars turned direct) but the effects have lingered, and this is a topic of discussion in this week’s video. I also talk a bit about upcoming planetary factors which will affect the way the post-election drama unfolds. This week the influences are more subtle and give us an opportunity to take a breath and catch up to ourselves. The transcript is below for those who prefer to read. ❤️

Sunday inspiration: A new day in the United States

Last night President-Elect Joe Biden gave a speech to unite the nation. You can find the video and full transcript of the speech here. The US Progressed Moon just moved from Capricorn into Aquarius last week, bringing with it a shift into the sign of fairness and justice. Hopefully my fears for the US Pluto return will turn out to be unfounded and will instead bring us the best of Pluto: the leaving behind of darkness and return into light.

Let this […]

11.4.20 Post election thoughts and Mercury still square Saturn

If you read yesterday’s post, you may remember that Mercury, planet of information will be in a challenging square to Saturn for much of the week – really, until Mercury moves into Scorpio on November 10th. In the US, the incumbent president as promised has already declared victory, despite being behind in the electoral college and with many votes yet to be counted. He is calling on the Supreme Court, three of whose justices he appointed, to declare the winner. Meanwhile the US is divided exactly in half, with increasingly disparate […]

Last minute thoughts on the astrology of the 2020 election

We’re coming down the home stretch, and I continue to get queries about the election so I thought I’d share some thoughts. Most of the predictions I’ve read have been based on the charts of the two candidates and most of those have relied on the strength of the planetary cycles each candidate is experiencing. The prevailing idea seems to be that the candidate with the most harmonious planetary conditions will prevail, but that’s not how this works. It’s often during the most grueling and challenging planetary cycles that we enjoy the […]

More on predicting the election: A test

Astrologer Olga Morales has posted on Twitter an interesting comparison of current charts for Donald Trump and Joe Biden in which she predicts a win for President Trump based on the fact that he is “fully loaded” compared to Biden who has indications for poor health and illness. She uses midpoints which are not in my arsenal of techniques as they tend to clutter the chart and draw my intention away from the themes that will provide clear information.

I’m just going to put this here so we can see how things go over the next month.

US 2020 astrological election prediction realities

ABC news

Please note that any comments from either side of the aisle which serve only to inflame and do not add productively to the conversation will be deleted.

Predicting the outcome of an election is a tempting exercise, but extremely difficult in practice. In 2016 astrologers everywhere attempted to predict whether Clinton or Trump would win the November US Presidential election. You can geek out here and read the article and comments breaking down results by whether the astrologer followed the tropical or sidereal zodiac, was […]

The astrology of the Biden/Harris ticket

I actually started this post a month ago when there were twelve candidates and it was a bit overwhelming. Then the choice narrowed down to a more manageable number, but there was still always a possibility that there would be a wild card option that would come out at the last minute and all my work would be for naught.

I believe that Susan Rice (born 11/17/64, time unknown) was likely Biden’s favorite option for his vice president. – if she’s born after noon her Moon conjoins Joe’s Moon which forms a sympathetic bond. Her Sun conjoins his Sun and […]

A shift in direction when the lunar nodes change signs

The lunar nodes mark the point at which the path of the Moon crosses the ecliptic, the path that the Sun takes through the constellations as we observe its movement from Earth. The Nodes are connected to experiences which feel fated, and we can see this idea in practice when we look at an eclipse. Eclipses occur at a lunation (lunar event) in which the Sun and Moon are within 15 degrees of the Nodes, activating a trigger of the past which requires something to happen before we can move forward.

Unlike […]
