Kamala Harris & Donald Trump: Battle of the Full Moon Babies

Fun Astrological Fact: Both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump were born on a Full Moon.

Harris was born with the Sun in Libra and the Moon in Aries. During most Jewish Years, this is usually Erev Sukkot. But in late October 1964 (5725, a Leap (Pregnant) Year), it was the Full Moon of Chodesh Cheshvan, making her a Cheshvan Libra.

Trump was born on a Lunar Eclipse on the 14th of Chodesh Sivan 5706 (1946), with the Sun in Gemini and the Moon in Sagittarius.

Both Harris and Trump have Air Sun Signs and Fire Moon Signs. Another fun fact: They both have their natal planet Mars - what makes them fight! - in Leo. Air inflames Fire! There's no way to look at this match up without seeing the explosive potential.

Because of both Harris and Trump's natal Full Moon energies, the upcoming Lunations - New and Full Moons, plus two eclipses - between now and the election will be important to look at in depth. All that will come in time. This post focuses on the natal chart with Transits for Kamala Harris today, the beginning of the DNC.

Notable items include: The Transiting Full "Blue" Super Moon (emotions, women) conjuct her natal Saturn in Aquarius (how to structure (Saturn) the ideal society for all people (Aquarius). Saturn can be the "cop" - and the "prosecutor" - in Aquarius, that policing is done for the betterment of society and the good of "the people". Happening so close to her MC, that energy will surely be front and center this week.

This Blue Super Full Moon also opposes her natal Mars in Leo, and squares her natal Jupiter in Taurus, which itself is being conjuncted by Transiting Uranus, the planet of shocking surprises, destabilization, quick and sudden change (that sounds a lot like the last few weeks, over which Harris became the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party after Biden's decision not to run).

Harris has Gemini Rising, her chart's planetary ruler is Mercury, and Mercury is currently retrograde in Leo, close to her Natal Mars. All this happening in her 3rd House of Communication, which also includes information, data, fact-gathering, one's immediate environment (as opposed to far-away places). Harris didn't pick the dates for the DNC this year (and it's obvious the Democratic "Leadership" didn't consult an astrologer), so it's not her fault that this dangerously flammable Mercury Retrograde is messing with her Mars. The temptation to give into anger and to say something driven by emotions rather than facts will be strong; let's hope we don't see that.

Transiting Venus is conjunct Harris' Natal Venus in Virgo, in her 4th House. Her family, home life, parents, ancestors, and personal relationships will be analyzed and scrutinized (Virgo) but she'll emerge from that smelling like a rose thanks to the general patina of grace & favor that Virgo leaves in her wake.

Transiting Saturn is moving through her 10th House of Career & Vocation, but it's in Pisces, which resists Saturn's impetus to structure. Transiting Saturn has been in hard opposition to Harris' natal Uranus/Pluto/Venus stellium in Virgo during this time. All this pressure has forced her to define herself publicly, which she'll be compelled to do more and more in the run-up to the election. In many ways it's safer to be diplomatic (Libra Sun) and a bit vague (Pisces MC), but soon it's time to throw safety out the window and take a stand. As Transiting Mars approaches her AC (exact on August 30) and Mercury stations Direct and returns to his original Retrograde point (September 11), watch for her to plant her flag into a red-line issue defining herself in ways some will love and some won't.
