Democratic hopefuls for 2028 are normally a matter for internal consumption but since the world deserves better, a brief run round follows. To be remembered – astrology is a fairly imperfect instrument for making absolute political predictions. Though can be a reasonable guide so worth keeping in mind.
J. B. Pritzker, 19 January 1965 1.01.pm Palo Alto, California, Governor of Illinois, and part of the Hyatt Hotel family, originally a financier himself, has a final degree Capricorn Sun in the opinionated 9TH with Venus Mercury Capricorn in his financial 8th trine a Virgo Moon, Uranus Pluto in Virgo with Mars also in Virgo; plus a high finance and overly hopeful Jupiter in Tauris opposition Neptune. Thus an Earth Grand Trine, materialistic, good for business, formed into a Kite with Jupiter opposition Neptune making Neptune his driving planet. An executive ability Saturn in his 10th opposes his Moon.
Uranus is moving into his 1st from this April so he will be stepping out to promote a new image ahead – or be forced to by circumstances. This looks a bumpy year with tr Uranus square his Moon and then Saturn, knocking him off course on the career front. His Solar Arc Uranus is also creeping towards the conjunction to his 6th house Neptune, on the degree before the end of the year. This will be a test of nervous stamina, could involve health issues and/or pull in the Jupiter opposition which was what pulled Boris Johnson down – scandals and the like.
Ahead there is nothing striking in terms of luck and success – indeed he’ll aggravated considerably at the 2028 election with his SA Mars square his Moon. Not a chart I would trust.
Kamala Harris, 20 October 1964 9.28pm Oakland, California, a Libra Sun exactly opposition an Aries Moon; also has a Jupiter in Taurus opposition Neptune widely square Saturn in Aquarius opposition Mars – so both lucky from Jupiter and unlucky from Mars Saturn. Her Saturn at 28 Aquarius caught the recent Solar Eclipse for a sobering moment and tr Uranus will square it within days for a series of jolts running into April.
This year and next her midpoints will be jittered and jangled with a few calamities along the way in June and late year. And more in 2027. Her fortunes change for the better into 2029 but too late really for the election. At the Inauguration she does have tr Jupiter almost conjunct her Sun for a ray of confidence. But later in 2029 will be grid-locked with SA Pluto square her Mars.
Andy Beshear, 29 November 1977 11.50pm Lexington, Kentucky, a Sun conjunct Neptune in Sagittarius trine a 12th house Mars in Leo with Saturn in Virgo on his Ascendant looks fairly low key in personality terms. He has Jupiter in Cancer on the cusp of his 11th with a Cancer Moon – so will probably be friendly, a good team player and empathetic. He does have an outspoken Uranus in his 3rd.
Tr Uranus will conjunct his Midheaven within weeks which hints at a sudden change of career direction in the years thereafter. Pluto moving into his 6th house of health and work hints at an uphill struggle and tr Neptune into his 8th might be less than helpful for raising money. He does have a smattering of helpful influences tr Uranus square his Jupiter/Uranus midpoint in 2027 to May 2028. And tr Jupiter conjunct his Pluto in the days after the election. But he also has his Solar Arc Pluto conjunct his Sun through 2028/early 2029 which looks stuck. And worse from March 2029 till late 2030 with a frustratingly trapped tr Pluto opposition his Mars.
Mark Kelly, 21 February 1964, a former astronaut and Arizona senator, is a Sun Mars in Pisces opposition Uranus (Pluto) in Virgo; with a Gemini Moon maybe on the leg of a yod sextile Jupiter inconjunct Neptune. His chart certainly reflects a Neptunian cosmic thrust. He has another yod of Neptune sextile Pluto Uranus inconjunct a charming Venus Jupiter in Aries.
He looks devastated at the moment with his Solar Arc Pluto conjunct his Neptune – and agitated, accident-prone and facing a setback when tr Uranus squares his Mars/Saturn midpoint from mid this month into April, arguing bitterly through April. There will be smatterings of luck along the way in April as well. But in general he looks agitated and aggravated right through till early 2028.
Without a birth time there is nothing much in late 2028 bar tr Jupiter maybe trine his Moon and trine his Solar Arc Venus Jupiter which will be a consolation but is not super-strong.
I think Beshear might be a possibility, though I imagine any prospective Democratic president will have transits in 2029-30 which reflect the mountain they’ll have to climb in sorting out the chaos the Trump years will have left them.
Kamala can never be floated again she lost and too many people believe all the things the gop said about her, plus her husband is Jewish and it’s too complicated a situation right now where most dems are pro Gaza, or at least very anti bibi. The dnc knows it has to choose a person the Midwest states (electoral college) will get behind like gov walz- and the dnc chair is a not particularly sharp tack from MN as well. Maybe Pete buttigeg, or Gretchen wittimer from Michigan, maybe someone newer too. Pritzker is sort of too rich but outspoken. People want at least a little bernie dna, but candidates from the east or west coast don’t bring a lot bc their states are always blue anyway. Look for someone from MN Michigan Ohio Wisconsin Illinois or anything purple. It’s as a much a cult of personality as it is what state you bring along with you.
