Trying to get a handle on all the people who are running for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination can seem impossible. One thing that is interesting, however, is that they can be broken down rather neatly in astrological terms by the placement of generational planets.
I consider the generational planets to be Neptune and Pluto. Neptune represents the hopes and dreams of a generation. Its influence is seen in changes in pop culture and in the nebulous aspirations that motivate a generation. Pluto describes the reaction by a generation to the big events that overshadowed its early years. It influence is seen in the attitude with which that generation approaches the world.
Keep in mind that generational astrology is general. Generational attributes are not meant to apply to everyone in a generation.
Joe Biden’s announcement that he was running for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020 was essentially a non-event. Biden has been the front-runner in the polls from the beginning and he has been behaving like a candidate for some time now. The fact that it was non-event is evident in the astrology. Unlike many of our other contenders, Biden’s announcement coincided with no significant astrological indicators.
I’ve recently written twice about Joe Biden and his candidacy. (Click on “The Contenders: Joe Biden” and “Uncle Joe Gets Handsy” to see those articles.) What I want of focus on now that it is official the he might be president is the placement of the Sun in the Twelfth House in his natal horoscope. (Click on Joe Biden to see the chart.)
Among the presidents for whom we have birth times and complete horoscopes (and there are quite a few of them) three were born with the Sun in the Twelfth House. They are Ulysses S. Grant, Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush.
So, another person has thrown his hat into the ring. And, boy, do we need a bigger ring. By my count, Seth Moulton is the 18th person to announce his candidacy for the 2020 Democratic nomination, 19th if you count Joe Biden who hasn’t announced but still leads in the polls. At this rate the debates alone will take us through 2021.
Moulton is one of the people that the experts were expecting to enter the race. (We still have four or five those shoes waiting to drop.) He’s an ambitious congressman from Massachusetts who brings extensive military experience (four tours in Iraq) and a centrist agenda to the table. He’s on record comparing Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler.
It is interesting that in Moulton’s announcement his wife appeared on camera comparing her husband to a “tank”, someone who just keeps on coming regardless of the obstacles placed in his way or criticism aimed at him. That’s also a good description of a Scorpio, and Moulton has a bunch of stuff in Scorpio. Along with his Sun, he has Uranus, Mercury, Venus and Mars placed there. (Click on Seth Moulton to see a partial horoscope done for noon on his date of birth.)
I’m not a player or fan of golf, so I wasn’t paying much attention when Tiger Woods won the Masters Tournament last week. However, I’ve written a couple of article on Woods over the years, charting the influence of the planets on the decline of his career, so I thought it only fair that I remark on his comeback. (Click on Tiger Woods to see his natal horoscope.)
The first time I wrote about Woods was in 2011. In that article (Click on "What's Next for Tiger Woods" to see the article) I discussed the events of Dec. 2009 when Woods’ infidelity to his wife was revealed to the world. Not surprisingly, in Dec. 2009 Uranus was on Woods’ Descendant and square his natal Moon. The Descendant is the cusp of the house of partnership and marriage while the Moon rules women.
