First Presidential Debate
Clinton V Trump
September 26, 2016
9:00pm EDT
Hempstead, Nassau NY
The astrology for the chart has late Taurus rising with Moon
in Leo in 4th house. The Sun in
Libra with Jupiter conjunction is in the 5th house along with
Mercury and the north node. Any chart
with that much planetary action in the 5th house, means all eyes are
on the stage. And Moon in Leo is also an
attention suck. Reports are that it could be the most watched
US debate in history. Can you feel the
5th house? The question is
will these candidates make this event worth all the attention? It is difficult to imagine but there are
debate parties around the world for this event.
Will it be a shit show?
The chart ruler is Venus, which is in the 6th
house. Venus in the 6th
house is very critical and has a level of insecurity in the mix. “If I work harder, I’ll make up my deficits.” There will be tap dancing by both candidates. Tit for tat as well. Pickiness and getting pulled into the weeds
will be an issue for the night.
With the Leo Moon, there will be emphasis on ‘telling the
truth the way I see it’, however the accent is on “telling’ and “I see it”. Going
back to the chart ruler, Venus is trine to Neptune, so the actual truth will be
muted by both candidates and most likely audiences will see what they want to
see in the responses. That’s Neptune for
you.
Warrior Mars is in the last degree of fiery Sagittarius in
stealthy 8th house. Mars
can’t control itself even if it is the last degree of Sag, there will be
zingers that get under each other’s crawl.
This discussion of people like Mark Cuban and Gennifer Flowers sitting
in the front row speak to the 8th house Mars placement. However
the next day early in the morning Mars moves into Capricorn. This is a far more subdued energy and know
that the debates going forward after tonight will look different. Mars will push on both teams to be measured and
more orderly as Mars pursues security.
Stronger self-control will be the name of the game after today. It is possible that one or both political
teams wake up with a bit of a hangover or are just ready to win in a methodical
manner. Adjustments will probably be
made in response to this debate.
Very early (around 9:10)
the ascendant moves into Gemini where it will remain for the rest of the
debate. Look and see what happens then. Gemini
will push harder on the rhetoric, it is difficult to imagine more truth coming
out under a Gemini horizon, if anything that would just bring more cover thy-ass-fast-
talk.
For each candidate:
Trump:
The Moon is trine Trump’s natal Moon. This aspect is filled with confidence and can
be good for self- expression. The Sun is
on Neptune, which is very charismatic and diffuses with charm. But at the same time the Sun squares Trump’s
Mercury. The setting of this debate, with all eyes on
the stage, is a different setting than the primary debates. His Mercury in Cancer was seen through out
the primaries with his personal barbs.
The pressure on his Mercury could come from directives from his team to
hold back the barbs. Or the pressure
could be so strong that he just leans into the square and shoots the barbs
away. As a
Gemini he is more sensitive to aspects to Mercury so this could be his Achilles
heel for the debate.
Clinton:
The Moon is in a waning square with Clinton’s Mars and Pluto. The Moon is also in square with her
Saturn. And Moon is in square with
Venus and Mercury. These are not easy aspects, to say the
least. Clinton will be on defensive the minute she
arrives to the podium. It is hard to
see her not being thin skinned with these aspects. On one hand these aspects are not auspicious
for a good performance by a politician.
However Clinton is no ordinary politician especially with her
Mars/Pluto/Saturn conjunction. She
likes a good fight so perhaps she will rise to the occasion compelled by the
pressure she feels from the Moon. Even if she is not sweating on camera, she is
sweating.
Lester Holt.
Well, look who drew the short straw. Lester is a Pisces Sun with Moon in Pisces. We don't know the time of birth but we do know that his Mercury at 4 Degrees of Aries has both the debate Sun and Moon opposing it. He will be working hard to find balance! For sure. Transiting Mercury is square his Sun and his Mars in Gemini. He will be on defensive. This conversation about whether he should be a fact checker speaks to the Mercury and North Node in Virgo squaring his Sun. His Mars in Gemini and Sun in Pisces would prefer not to fact check and just push the issue to the candidates to do their work. The Moon in Leo is in wide trine to his Venus which should help soften some of the criticism. Perhaps people will be sympathetic that he is in a tough spot.
