Kamala Harris – sliding down the polls

Kamala Harris’s standing is flagging as she becomes the most unpopular US vice president for decades. She ticks more disapprovals than approvals having not shone in her two assignments of immigration and voting rights. She managed to alienate some Hispanic voters by telling those from central America not to come and equally upset others by not visiting the border sooner. And there are persistent reports of an unhealthy environment in her office with staff morale plummeting.

  What is keeping her afloat and did so into the election is tr Pluto trine her Jupiter and that repeats for a final time this December. It is usually successful but can also breed arrogance. Her relationship with Joe Biden is going through a confused, disappointed and unsettled phase with tr Pluto square the composite Neptune again till late this December; and the ratchety tr Uranus square tr Saturn hitting on the composite Sun. There will be some disappointments between them in 2022 and 2023 with tr Neptune square the composite Jupiter.

  But she should have a career boost from this New Year throughout 2022 with successful Jupiter moving across her 10th till spring 2023. At the same time she will be under considerable pressure with a challenging must-change tr Pluto square her Libra Sun from early 2022 to late 2023 followed by tr Pluto square her Moon in 2023/24. Also her Progressed Moon will move into her 12th house almost exactly now till mid 2023 which can be discouraging, a time of endings and inner reflection.

  She’s probably too unbending, outspoken and over confident for her own good with a Fixed Grand Cross of Mars in Leo in the 3rd in a hard-edged opposition to Saturn square Jupiter in Taurus opposition Neptune. Though she would have assisted Biden in his win with her Jupiter trine his Midheaven and her can-be-charming Venus Pluto conjunction his MC.

  From a previous post: May 20 2021:

Kamala Harris has the same uplift as Joe Biden with tr Pluto trine her Jupiter until late this November and tr Jupiter is moving through her 10th till March 2023 which is generally successful. But also like him she runs into more obvious problems from next year onwards when she picks up the challenging tr Pluto square her Libra Sun and her Aries Moon and conjunct her Sun/Moon midpoint. The latter could suggest marital tensions but in a politician it can also point to a popularity dent. But one way and another she’ll be under huge pressure. Plus tr Neptune will square her Ascendant and oppose her Sun/Mars midpoint from April 2022 onwards till late 2023 – which suggests an undermining of her image, low vitality and failed-plans. During this period tr Uranus will make a high-anxiety opposition to her Neptune.

  Late 2023 sees a discouraging Solar Arc Saturn opposition her Sun and from April 2024 onwards for two years she picks up another Neptunian sinker to her Sun/Saturn midpoint.

  Her Progressed Moon will move through her 12th house from the middle of this year to mid 2023 which is usually a time of endings, inward looking and not too upbeat. Then she’ll experience some uplift as it moves across her Ascendant and that coincides with tr Saturn being conjunct her Midheaven in March 2023 and starting her career peak of eight years thereafter with heavier responsibilities.

Boris Johnson – adding to the brood

Dishevelled, chaotic, prolific, the Boris spinning-top twists and twirls ever onwards, unimpeded by the karma that forces most to pay the price for their actions. Happy news for the UK – to add to a bucketload of Olympics medals – as Carrie is expecting her second child in December, after a miscarriage earlier this year.

  Boris is on to his 7th offspring, at least that’s what’s written in the record – four from second wife Marina Wheeler, the first of which arrived five weeks after his divorce from Wife No 1; one from an art consultant, and this will be a pair. One of his other great loves Petronella Wyatt admitted to a termination and a miscarriage during their affair during which he promised to leave his wife and didn’t; and he had to resign in 2004 from the shadow cabinet for lying about it.

  Word has it that Marina Wheeler was the stiffener in his spine career-wise during their years together. She was born 18 August 1964 in Berlin, daughter of BBC correspondent Charles Wheeler and his Indian Sikh second wife.  Boris does seem to have a penchant for ladies from connected and multi-divorced families since Petronella Wyatt’s father was a prominent Labour MP and her mother, the 4th wife of her father, was a Hungarian.  Boris’s first wife was the daughter of a well-known and wealthy art historian and an Italian mother. Odd to be so anti-EU when his connections have been so global and fluid.

  Carrie Symonds also comes from a complicated family lineage which may track back to an illegitimate daughter of Herbert Asquith, prime minister in the early 20th Century. And down the line there were other illegitimate offspring of journalists until Carrie herself was born out of wedlock on 17 March 1988.

  Marina is a Sun Leo in a downbeat opposition to Saturn and an upbeat square to Jupiter in Taurus. What’s relevant to her chart is her enthusiastic and ambitious Mars Venus in Cancer falling on Boris’s Midheaven so she would throw her considerable energy behind his ambitions.

  Carrie’s connection to him, surprisingly given her personal political ambitions, is of a different order. Her ramped up Mars Neptune in Capricorn sits on his IC with her Uranus Saturn close by. It does suggest a confused and argumentative home life and she will unsettle him at quite a profound level, the IC being the foundations of his chart and life. Her Pluto in his 2nd conjunct his Neptune and opposition his Jupiter suggests a compulsion on her part to get a grip of his muddled approach to his finances and there will be a fair amount of gameplaying between them for the upper hand with Pluto on Jupiter.

  Their relationship chart does have a lucky and mutually supportive composite Sun Jupiter conjunction but it also has an unpredictable, needs-space opposition to Uranus and an erratic and can-be-downbeat square to Saturn, so there will be highs and lows. With tr Neptune conjunct the composite Mars from late this May on and off till early 2023, not everything will feel in tune between them. Mars Neptune brings a droopy sense of failure. The tr Uranus square tr Saturn is also rattling the composite Sun this year into early 2022, so not a smooth path ahead.

  Boris’s Moon is coming in for a considerable amount of jangling ahead. His Solar Arc Uranus was conjunct his Moon about six months ago; and his Solar Arc Saturn will oppose his Moon in a year’s time. Plus his Progressed Moon is opposition his focal point (afflicted) Mars exactly now and moving on to square his Saturn come December, with hitches and glitches in 2022 as it squares his Uranus and Pluto. So his lunar life won’t be exactly settled. 

Which fits in with the wedding chart – see 30 May 2021; and other indicators, see also posts May 24 2021 and July 22 2021.

  I’d hazard a guess that Carrie was getting to the age where the now-or-never question about children came up and she was keen where he might not have been so enamoured of the idea.  He’s been moaning abut being short of money since he lost his lucrative column writing fees on becoming PM and has to contribute to past children. My impression is he would not be that unhappy to move on from No 10, having been-there, done-that, and on to greater wealth and security. But Carrie presumably won’t want to budge from a position where she can pull political strings. And there no real indication – see previous posts – of a sudden exit. All remains to be seen.
