The Mercury Retrograde Election
The Astrology is Clear - Fuzzy Results for Harris and Trump
THE 2024 BATTLE BETWEEN KAMALA HARRIS and Donald Trump for presidency will be decided on Mercury Retrograde.
The Sun recently interviewed me about this.
Expect a blur of recounts and lawsuits. The astrology is clear even if the outcome will not be.
It may be extreme weather in the Caribbean, affecting absentee voting. We have to remember the margin for victory in the last two American elections was tiny. It may be CrowdStrike. I’ll look at that next.
In 2020, about 43,000 allowed Joe Biden to win. In 2016, about 80,000 combined votes gave Donald Trump his winning margin. (The Guardian). This is a Mercury Retrograde election. Extreme weather and disruption with absentee voting? Check. Could President Biden even be forced to stay on?
THE WORST MERCURY RETROGRADE ELECTION IN HISTORY was Al Gore against George W. Bush. The curse of the hanging chads.
CBS famously called it for Al Gore. It took until December 12th for a recount dispute to settle.
Mercury Retrograde, of course, is always about recounts. It’s also about the media having to retract its statements. The ‘re’ prefix is typical.
The second worst Mercury Retrograde election in history was Donald Trump against Joe Biden. Trump called it for himself. Even though Biden had a landslide.
I PREDICTED THE CHAOS OF TRUMP AND PENCE 2020 using psychic astrology (my favourite kind) two months before it happened.
The astrology clearly showed that the Pence-Trump partnership and/or the Biden-Harris partnership would come unstuck. Both did, as we now know.
Back then it was also possible to predict this: “We end the year 2020 with The Great Conjunction in Aquarius, the sign that rules diversity, equality and community. That is the Democrat party and it is Kamala Harris but also AOC – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. None-white women.” Well, four years later, that American horoscope is ringing true.
Unfortunately, though, we are up for a deadlock and gridlock in November, December 2024 and it may run as late in some parts of the US as late as January 2025. At the end of this feature I will run the CrowdStrike chart and give you some high-risk dates for IT chaos.
The Republican and Democrat Deadlock 2024
We are in for another Mercury Retrograde election with Kamala Harris against Donald Trump. As astrologers, we have to deal with the fixed U.S. election date. Far too often, it falls on the messiest cycle in the horoscope.
The zodiac sign Mercury Retrograde passes through, tells you the problem. After America votes, it is stuck, stalled and cancelled in Sagittarius. This is about foreigners and foreign countries. This is where the legal battle starts.
Recounts, Rewinds, Retractions
Mercury Retrograde begins on 7th November with the shadow. Mercury then turns backwards on 26th November. The post-shadow begins on December 15th.
The very last of the recounts, replays, rewinds and retractions do not stop until the end of the shadow on January 3rd 2025. The astrology is really clear even though the results will be fuzzy and the media will call Harris-Trump incorrectly.
What to expect?
*Accusations of illegal immigrant voting.
*Overseas voting by American citizens and mail-in ballot issues.
*Voter machine fraud accusations.
Another obvious issue is foreign interference in this American election. We might also speculate, extreme weather and/or airline strikes obstructing the airmail delivery of votes. Mercury Retrograde commonly holds up the airports.
Mercury Retrograde runs from 6-22 Sagittarius from November 7th 2024 until January 3rd 2025.
Billions were born with factors at 6-22 Sagittarius, including those born with Uranus, Neptune and Pluto in Sagittarius. This is the sign ruling foreigners and foreign countries, travellers, tourists and the expat community.
The 6-22 Sagittarius zone is afflicted by Jupiter in Gemini and Saturn in Pisces. The mutable signs. November 7th to January 3rd is mutable or highly changeable.
Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius in opposition to Jupiter in Gemini takes place on 18th November at 18 degrees. It happens again on December 4th with Mercury Retrograde at 16 Sagittarius in opposition to Jupiter at 16 Gemini. Another repetition takes place on December 26th with Mercury at 13 Sagittarius in opposition to Jupiter at 13 Gemini.
Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius square Saturn in Pisces takes place on December 6th at 13 degrees. Another square takes place on December 27th with Mercury at 14 Sagittarius square Saturn at 14 Pisces.
These are just a few examples of how rescheduling, retracting statements, reversing decisions – can affect us.
Mercury rules voting machines, the media, the internet, mail-in ballots and paperwork. In Sagittarius, it rules those things in the context of foreigners and foreign countries. This is a chaotic post-election period.
The CrowdStrike Astrology Chart
My thanks to my Substack friends and colleagues, leading astrologers Tara Buffington BA and Julie Fowler BA MA FCIM for starting the conversation about CrowdStrike. Tara picked up a real concern on this Mercury Retrograde election. CrowdStrike’s outage happened on Mercury Retrograde (I predicted internet and computer issues, date-stamped, two years prior here) and so this is a risky election.
This is the Twitter post. The dates above, tally with the dates picked up in the chart. And December 6th is an exact match.
The CrowdStrike outage on July 19th 2024, was the largest in the history of Information Technology. The Blue Screen of Death. As Tara Buffington has pointed out, CrowdStrike services Dominion Voting Systems in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Swing states. Was July 19th a dry run? Are we headed to the Supreme Court?
We sincerely hope not. If there are suspicions about this election being thrown, though, look straight to the Kremlin. Perhaps China. Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius is foreign interference. Plain and simple.
The Trump Classified Documents Case
If we’re doing straight astrology, this is a good contender for Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius, at its critical points opposite Jupiter and square Saturn, in November and December 2024.
Now, Jack Smith is said to be preparing to throw this case out, because as sitting president (starting in January) Trump can’t be fingered for this possible crime. He’s looking at 31 counts in the Espionage Act covering (are you ready for the Sagittarius key words?) foreign military attacks, foreign nuclear capabilities, foreign support for terrorists, communications with foreign leaders, foreign intelligence briefings…
And just look at those Mercury documents. If ever there was a contender for post-election Mercury Retrograde mess, this is it.
I believe you. I hate that I believe you, but I believe you. I also hope we’re both wrong.
Just remember, we have several states here still unable to function from two back-to-back hurricanes. My uncle are still stuck on the side of a mountain in North Carolina and probably will be for at least another month.
