Bernie Sanders and Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) are mounting a fight back against the Trump administration with a recent anti-oligarchy rally attracting 36,000 people in Los Angeles.
AOC, 13 October 1989 11.50am New York, an upfront Sun Mars in Libra with a probably Aries Moon opposition Mercury square Uranus is having a rough few weeks ahead with tr Uranus in a calamitous opposition to her Mars/Saturn midpoint from the 27th of this month followed by a panicky tr Uranus opposition her Mars/Neptune midpoint in May, repeating January to mid March 2026. Though with better news this June, December, March/April 2026 with a Jupiter midpoint bringing a lucky break.
She also has the tr Saturn Neptune in Aries starting to square her Capricorn triple conjunction picking up from later this month on on until nearly the end of this decade – as do all of her generation. 2028/29 looks uncertain with tr Neptune square her Saturn. But she also has tr Jupiter crossing her midheaven and through her 10th (birth time being sound) from October 2028 and across the Inauguration; with one upbeat midpoint giving her cheer as results come in.
Bernie Sanders, 8 September 1941 New York, a Sun Virgo with a fiery Mars Moon in Aries, and Uranus conjunct Saturn, will plough ahead with vigour till the end of this year with tr Pluto opposition his Sun/Jupiter midpoint though will hit a slump in 2026/27 with tr Saturn Neptune square his Sun/Mars midpoint. He will get a tremendous boost probably early in 2028 with his Solar Arc Jupiter conjunct his Sun. He also has an upbeat and successful tr Pluto opposition his Sun/Jupiter midpoint on and off through 2027 and 2028, including over the election. Though he will have a disastrous run in during September to mid October 2028.
By and large there may be some reasons for cheer at the next election. Or at the very least it does not look like a total disaster for the Democrats.
It is not only a birthday AOC shares with Margaret Thatcher. They both have Sun, Mercury and Mars in Libra and Venus in Sagittarius. Thatcher has her fire Moon in Leo close to her MC and AOC has her fire Moon in Aries close to the IC. Thatcher has her Jupiter in Capricorn and AOC has her Jupiter in the opposite sign of Cancer. Thatcher has her North Node in Leo and AOC has her North Node in Aquarius. They are like mirror images of each other. I think AOC will go to the top of US politics eventually.
AOC interestingly shares a birthday (not a date of birth) with Margaret Thatcher. No doubt she has a powerful future ahead, but that Saturn/Neptune conjunction isn’t going to be a lot of fun for her or her generational cohort, as you point out.
In terms of protest, a demonstration of 36,000 is pretty small potatoes in a city the size of of Los Angeles, which has 3.8 million people within its municipal boundaries and 14 million in the metro area.
I’ve been looking at the composite chart of DJT and the Sibley U.S. chart, which I believe was vindicated by 9/11, for some guidance on future trends in the U.S. This composite, with a packed 10th house of Cancer planets opposed by Moon in Capricorn at the IC, saw a lot of activity around the assassination attempt last summer. I encourage my fellow astrologers to take a look. Re DJT’s birth time, I used the one on Astrodienst.
Politics aside, one of the things I find interesting about the DJT/Sibley composite chart is the unpredictable Uranus in the composite eighth house of shared resources, which I view broadly. It could reflect the large-scale disruptions in employment and the supply chain that marked the last Trump administration. This upheaval was followed by government largesse, supposedly to keep the economy afloat. A Uranian ride to be sure!
After leaving coal in your stocking (or cutting it down from the fireplace altogether), this father figure wants you to beg him for a Christmas present so he can play Santa Claus. Remember how the checks to American taxpayers carried not the signature of the Treasury Secretary or some anonymous bureaucrat, but that of Donald Trump himself.
I use a Scorpio ASC for the US chart. It puts DJT’s natal Sun-Uranus conjunction in the US 8th house. Ditto Xi Jinping’s Sun.
I’m a little surprised that Trump et al have not yet begun to place pressure on the pair, as would happen in some of the more totalitarian regimes. Or completely wipe them off the map. it’s one thing to lean on “loud mouths”, as what occured with Ross Perdue, and then feel entitled to whisk off citizens to El Salvador prisons.
Rougher times are a-comin’ !
who is ross perdue?
I will defer to you, Marjorie, since you were one of the few astrologers who got it right at the last election in the US. However, at a time when that country becomes a lawless state and the house of the governor of Pennsylania is burned down, and in the dark light of the tragic astrology in coming years, I am not convinced there will be presidential elections in 2028. It could be upbeat for AOC if she is one of the leaders of the resistance in a civil war. I pray you are right once more. Hopefully, you are not undesrestimating the awful times to come.
