I am being “hounded” by friends and clients to weigh in on the 2016 election. While I am a political junkie, it is hard to get a good read on the situation mostly because we don’t always have correct birth charts of the candidates. There is still a debate on Hillary Clinton (isn’t there always) as to her time of birth – is it 802 AM or PM?
There is a time for Bernie Sanders of 12:27 PM, however, there seems to be no primary source identification so I remain skeptical.
Using this chart, we see someone who wants to make his mark on the world in a very tangible way! With a stellium of planets in his 10th house – house of career and government – his involvement in government is the stuff that feeds him. Included in this is his North Node in Virgo. His karmic path in this life is to come out of hiding in his house, (Pisces South Node in the 4th), and stop being someone who used his family as an excuse not to engage in society. I think he is doing that big time!
The retrograded Mars next to his Moon and both in Aries is a little unnerving – that indicates some buried anger. Perhaps he is channeling that anger now with his fire and energy.
Retrograded Uranus with Saturn in the seventh means that he will eventually find a way (eventually because the retrograde takes a while to correct) to infuse new ideas (Uranus) into traditional systems (Saturn.)
As someone who is very skeptical of his ability to win, I have admit that I am happy with this chart. It shows someone destined to make an impact on society. Does that mean a trip to the White House? I don’t know. I have to compare candidates charts to that of the US and to election day (so stay tuned) but win or lose Bernie will force changes.
PS He shares a Scorpio (secretive) rising with Hillary which is not great for a Chief Executive.
