Vice President Harris' Lunar Returns

[Jim Eshelman]

It's time again to play: Where is that Vice President?

VP Harris' SLR occurs Friday, September 20, 2024, 2:36 AM EDT.

I find that she's supposed to be speaking in Madison, WI on Friday in the "early evening." The Atlanta Voice also says she'll be in Georgia (Atlanta), stated as mid-afternoon. Today (9/19) she is scheduled to do a livestream event with Oprah in Michigan (time unsure).

If she is in Michigan today, has her SLR at 2:36 AM EDT, and isn't speaking in Georgia until mid-afternoon (before swinging back to Madison), my best guess at the moment is that she will sleep in Washington, DC.

Here is her SLR for Washington, just in case:

I just posted the following interpretation on a Facebook page devoted to Mundane Astrology:

Kamala Harris SLR (Sidereal Lunar Return) Sep 20, 2024, 2:36 AM EDT, Washington, DC
The Vice President flew from Detroit back to Washington last night and apparently slept in her DC home while her new lunar return occurred at 2:36 AM.

It's a positive chart. She has tended to have Sun near an angle for her lunar and demi-lunar returns this summer, and this one brings her exact natal Sun-Moon opposition near the meridian. (It's a little wider so it has more the feeling of 'celebrity' than 'leader' this round.) Venus is the most angular planet (on IC) and closely aspects the Sun-Moon, a signal of popularity and general happiness. In fact, transiting Moon and Venus have a 0°59' mundane opposition. The same arrangement of the angles highlights Pluto's transit to her Sun-Moon that has surprisingly hurled her into the fray over the last two months.

There's not a bad foreground aspect in the chart. All the rest is a set of Mercury aspects that surely will serve her.

She is obviously on the road a lot and this chart will adapt and adjust to each location she visits. However, the chart below (for where it first set up) will persist alongside any local variations (just as one never loses one's natal chart even though one picks up local angles when relocating).

For example, she has two major stops today, returning to the pivotal states of Georgia and Wisconsin. She'll be in Atlanta this afternoon where transiting Venus and Pluto join natal Sun-Moon (closer angularities, more singling out these specific aspects). Tonight, she'll be in Madison, WI, astonishingly following the curve on Earth where her Sun-Moon are angular - Ascendant in Madison is 2°43' Cancer square her Sun-Moon closely - and retains Pluto as the most angular planet, keeps a little Venus, but picks up transiting Mars on Eastpoint 0°31' - I don't think we should take this as simply 'energy' because transiting Mars has more of an edge of threat, hostility, or at least less popularity.

And so forth throughout the month.

[Jim Eshelman]

Vice President Harris' demi-lunar will occur Friday, October 4, at 4:17:36 AM EDT. The question, then, is: Where is she Thursday evening and where will she sleep Thursday night?

In Washington, nothing is too angular, natal Saturn being the one standout with natal Pluto close behind. I doubt she is in Washington for this but she might be. Trump is riding a wave of Jupiter transits and Harris has Saturn closing to the exact opposition of your Uranus, so this will be a "tighter squeeze" fortnight unless she gets good angularities. Somewhere a degree or two west of the Uranus angular lines are advantageous for her, though she's mostly kept to the pattern of pulling natal or transiting Sun to an angle, which would be something like Phoenix.

So... where will she be Thursday night and Friday morning?

This says the Fox Valley area of Wisconsin from 3 to 6 PM. This seems to mean approximately Green Bay: https://spectrumnews1.com/wi/milwaukee/ ... fox-valley

This then says a Flint, MI event is planned for the next day, October 4, in the afternoon and evening (3 to 7 PM): https://flintbeat.com/registration-is-o ... paign-stop

With an entire day between these events, I'm not sure where she might stay that night. Green Bay pulls natal Mars and Saturn quite exactly (and some Jupiter). It does highlight Uranus' transit to her Jupiter, but not very close to the angles. Flint favors the Uranus transit to her Jupiter (with some natal Mars and Saturn, but less), so it has an advantage.

[alinda]

It looks like she may go to Detroit in the morning.

The airspace restriction in Wisconsin ends around midnight and picks up in Detroit at the same time continuing until 1615 EDT. Airspace restriction in Flint don't start until 1515 EDT

[Jim Eshelman]

Excellent! Looks like it's Detroit for sure.

Vice President Harris' demi-lunar will occur Friday, October 4, at 4:17:36 AM EDT.

No angular Sun this time. We're starting to move into a time when Uranus to her Jupiter has more say. This is quite the chart! Better than any of the variations in surrounding areas. Since she probably doesn't have a Sidereal astrologer on her staff, this seems inspired - guided - movement around the world. She seems on fire!

I just posted this forecast online:

Kamala Harris Demi-SLR (Sidereal Demi-Lunar Return) October 4, 2024, 4:18 AM EDT, Detroit, MI [effective Oct 3-17]

The Vice President appears in Wisconsin Thursday evening (10/3) from 3:00 to 6:00 PM. Tomorrow night, she will be in Flint, MI. In between, she has a stop scheduled in Detroit. What time will she travel? Well, federal airspace restrictions lift in Wisconsin around midnight and appear over Detroit about the same time and until just after 4 PM EDT. It seems clear she will sleep in Detroit and be there at 4:18 AM when her demi-lunar return occurs.

The chart is strong and positive (much more so than if she had stayed in Green Bay where there might be some friction). For Detroit, natal Mars is 0°07' from Eastpoint with transiting Uranus 0°17' from MC conjunct natal Jupiter 2°09' from MC. This Uranus transit to natal Jupiter is likely to be her magic winning transit and it is the dominant aspect of the next two weeks. Furthermore, with her natal Mars-Jupiter square (and natal Mars overwhelmingly close to the angle), this girl is on fire!

Partisan frictions and stressors aren't surprising in a major political campaign, so it's hardly worth mentioning that she'll have some. We are almost exactly at Saturn's transit opposite natal Uranus (0°03' wide but non-prominent in the demi-lunar). Concurrently, transiting Uranus squares natal Saturn near the return 's angles. It's push and pull, tug of war, but, since Uranus to Saturn is stronger than Saturn to Uranus, she seems more unleashed than constrained. We'll start seeing changes in her campaigning: With Saturn to her Uranus while Jupiter (mundanely) transits her Neptune, Neptune does better than Uranus: Surely no one is overly surprised when any politician stretches truth: Uranus constrained while Neptune is encouraged suggests more stagecraft, more performance, and fiction serving her better than naked truth.

[Jim Eshelman]

Thus is her second most important lunar of the campaign. It occurs tomorrow, Oct 17, around 1:30 pm. (I'm not where I can calculate exactly.)

Where will she be?

LATER:
One article says Wisconsin all day: Milwaukee, Lacrosse, and Green Bay. I can't find times for each stop.

LATER:
Green Bay sis announced as 3:30 to 8:30 pm CDT. However, her rally in Lacrosse overlaps this: 130-6:30 pm. These seem to be times for larger events that will include her as part of the event.

LATER:
She's flying into Milwaukee tonight about 7 pm and will stay there overnight. Any events seem like they would be in the morning. If thr Lacrosse event ends at 6:30, she is probably the last (or nearly last) speaker, so I think she's in Milwaukee at around 12:30 pm CDT. (I'll calculate this more exactly when I get home.)

[SteveS]

Here is her Milwaukee SLR Jim--roughly calculated but something for you to think about till you get home.

https://ibb.co/N6YLXVD

[alinda]

FWIW there are three flight restrictions in Milwaukee tomorrow ending at 1215 CDT, 1415 CDT and 1530 CDT. Lacrosse does not begin until 1345 CDT. So I’d say you are like correct about Milwaukee.

[Jim Eshelman]

Thanks to both of you. It looks like, for the home stretch, she's back to exactly angular Sun!

I just posted the following forecast on a Facebook page devoted to mundane astrology:

Kamala Harris SLR (Sidereal Lunar Return) Oct 17, 2024, 12:36 PM CDT, Milwaukee, WI [effective Oct 17 to Nov 13]

Tomorrow, Vice President Harris has her final lunar return before the election. This chart technically covers the period including Election Day, though her demi-lunar return in two weeks likely will have a stronger hand for the last two weeks. Nonetheless, this one is important.

She flies into Milwaukee tonight and will spend tomorrow in Milwaukee, Lacrosse, and Green Bay. CDT. The Green Bay event is announced for 3:30-8:30 PM CDT. Overlapping it, the Lacrosse event is announced as 1:30-6:30 PM. Presumably she will appear near the end of each of those time slots. Air traffic is restricted over Milwaukee several parts of the day, but restrictions do not begin for Lacrosse until 1:45 PM. Therefore, she will still be in Milwaukee at 12:36 PM when the return occurs.

It's royal. For most of the lunar and demi-lunar returns during her campaign for president, she has managed to be where either natal or transiting Sun is exactly angular. Here we see transiting Sun precisely culminating, at Midheaven. Furthermore, her natal Moon-Sun opposition is near the meridian also, and transiting Sun is in a reasonable, moderate orb of conjunct natal Sun and opposite natal Moon. She reignites the energy is shining, royal leader that she bore in the first month of so of her campaign.

It's not easy, of course. That culminating Sun closely squares an angular Mars. She's a warrior. But, where Mars being stronger would make this seem an attack on her status, in this chart Sun is unquestionably more angular. She shines! There are obviously attacks on her and, in their face, her warrior spirit roars.

I'm least comfortable with Neptune just over 1° from square Ascendant. (I'm using a birth time one minute earlier than her birth certificate time; for the bc time, Neptune would be weaker.) Transiting Neptune is withering. Though, yes, it can be inspiring, it is usually dissipating, draining psychological energies, prone to errors in judgment. I think it's strong enough to mention and not nearly as strong as that exactly culminating Sun (and, more broadly, three foreground luminaries).

It's a strong period. Of course, she will pick up new indications as she moves around the country, though this original location in Milwaukee will stay with her for the duration of the chart.

The most important consideration now is what she does next Monday on the morning after her 60th birthday. We've done what we can to get word to her that she should stay in Washington that morning when her new solar return sets up at 9:40 AM. If she's in Washington when that happens... she wins the election. This lunar return will give her a lot of momentum in that direction.

[Jim Eshelman]

We may get an early lead on this, the vice president's last lunar or demi-lunar before the election. The return occurs October 31, 2024, 10:25 AM EDT so I googled "Where will Kamala Harris be on Halloween?" A local Arizona news source says that she - as well as Trump - will be in Phoenix:
https://ktar.com/story/5619238/kamala-h ... halloween/
https://www.12news.com/article/news/pol ... cb0987fc7f
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/pol ... 847830007/

Of course, we don't know when she'll take off and land. The article days say "day" but the event with music by Los Tigres del Norte, feels like an evening event. So maybe she won't be there yet when the Demi sets up, which would be 7:25 AM MST in Pheonix. (She likely have flown in the night before if that's the case.)

If it sets up there (and maybe even if it doesn't), she'll be on the war-path with her Mars precisely on Midheaven square her Neptune rising. Not a very positive chart - broadly toxic - so I hope it sets up somewhere else (though it does also play up Uranus' transit to her Jupiter).

Despite its problems, this is better than if she is in Washington in the morning: For DC, the chart has transiting Saturn-Neptune closest to the angles. We really don't want her in Washington for this one.

[alinda]

Looks like she will be in Wisconsin on the 30th. https://badgerherald.com/news/2024/10/2 ... on-campus/

[Jim Eshelman]

Ah, but she'll also be in Las Vegas on Halloween. (Trump will be nearby in Henderson.)
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/pol ... 847830007/

No time is given yet for this.

LATER: Sorting this out. The following article says the Arizona event is at 6 PM. (I thought it sounded like an evening event.) This requires that she is in Las Vegas earlier in the day. (We don't know how much earlier.)

At the moment, the most likely scenario seems to be that she flies from Madison the night before and sleeps in Las Vegas. It's neither a great nor terrible chart. Transiting Sun and natal Mars are the most angular though not as close as she's tended to have Sun in other charts. It's not a major chart, perhaps leaving the SLR to have a stronger hand.

[Jim Eshelman]

That was going to be my next thing to check. Madison, Wisconsin the night before (thank you). I doubt she returns to Washington between these (which is good!). We need to know when she leaves the Midwest for the Southwest.

LATER: The Madison event ends about 6 PM. That does leave her time to get out of town that night, perhaps to Las Vegas. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics ... r-AA1sWqMU

If she does stay in Madison that night, she gets transiting Mercury-Venus exact, transiting Saturn-Uranus close, natal Saturn quite exact (natal Uranus close). Fortunately, she likely will leave that night to get across the country and be fresh the next day.

OK.. so it's Phoenix in the morning. Three hours earlier, she has the return. I'm assuming she's flying the night before... any information on air traffic restrictions to suggest when she's landing in Phoenix?

Phoenix gives her a terrible demi-lunar.

[alinda]

So far they don't make a lot sense given the schedule we have so far for her on the 31st. I do see flight restrictions for these locations but the timing is all off.

Maybe most relevant: The TFR for Madison runs from October 30, 6:30 PM CDT to 11:45 AM CDT, If that is correct she will be in Madison for her Demi.

However, the TFR for Phoenix runs October 31, 4:45 PM MST to November 1, 10:15 AM MST—so, not showing a morning event at all and overlapping with Reno October 31, 3:45 PM PDT to 7:45 PM PDT, and Vegas October 31, 7:15 PM PDT to November 1, 10:45 AM PDT

There is another Vegas TFR for 12:45 PM to 7:00 PM PDT on October 31, 2024, but I believe that to be Trump who is scheduled for a Vegas area rally at 330pm.

So, I think it would make sense to see the Phoenix times to change to align with the rally times in the article I linked. Idk if that would also mean her departure from Wisconsin could also change.

[Jim Eshelman]

Maybe most relevant: The TFR for Madison runs from October 30, 6:30 PM CDT to 11:45 AM CDT, If that is correct she will be in Madison for her Demi.

Thanks much as always. If you have the chance to track this over the rest of the day, I'd greatly appreciate any amendments to this.

Presuming she's still in Madison is at least better news. I originally said (almost off the cuff) that it would be great if she could spend Halloween with a last pass through Wisconsin (though I later realized it was a mixed result), Gere's the return for Madison. The return occurs October 31, 9:25 AM CDT.

I don’t see any indication that she left Madison last night. I’ll keep an eye on her exepected departure time though to see if I can catch her leaving.

Thanks. Though this demi is only a short-run chart, it does cover the election and is important to the last few days. I'd like to get it right if possible. - I'm assuming Madison for now.

[alinda]

An USAF C-32 just took off from Madison and looks to be heading the right direction. It's not using the AF2 call name though, which would be a first for me (though I'm new the plane tracking thing). If it goes to phoenix, I'd assume it was her and she was in Madison for her Demi.

[Jim Eshelman]

Sounds right. I think we have Madison. (Strange it's not using AF2.) - This is the right time range, though.

[alinda]

Strange it's not using AF2.

True but the image seems to be AF2. https://imgur.com/a/9eZoSba

ETA: They are now using the AF2 call sign for the flight and it should be landing in Phoenix soon.

Kamala Harris Demi-SLR (Sidereal Demi-Lunar Return) Oct 31, 2024, 9:25 am CDT, Madison, WI

Vice President Harris' final main chart before the election occurred Thursday morning before Air Force 2 left Madison for Phoenix. The chart has major advantages but is far from perfect; in fact, it has some serious problems. I suppose nobody thought these last few days would be easy. [...]

In my original forecast for the election outcome, after saying that her final demi-lunar for Washington is quite negative, I wrote: "Her Demi-SLR occurs on Halloween morning... I suggest she go to Milwaukee - a last pass through Wisconsin - being near there October 31, 9:25 AM CDT." Madison is close enough! But while it was probably her best shot, it's not a perfect shot.

First the good stuff - and there is a lot of it. Transiting Venus is 0°23' from exact square to MC and natal Venus closely conjunct Midheaven. A sublime transiting Venus-Jupiter opposition squares her Venus. Transiting Uranus' conjunction with natal Jupiter is within a few degrees of Descendant. Even the technically neutral factors feel positive, such as the Mercury-Uranus across the horizon, both planets aspecting natal Jupiter, and her natal Uranus-Pluto at MC which, at face, only means something extraordinary and dramatic happening, probably in the public sphere - but, in context, one might think this is better descriptive of her election than her loss.

If we only had this much, we would expect a sensational win!

However, we also have two Saturns closely angular. Natal Saturn is only 0°17' from square Ascendant. Transiting Saturn is just past IC. In the face of so many positive signals, even this would probably just mean hard work, stress, and last-minute self-doubts except for the configuration shown in the [mundoscope]: Mundanely, Saturn squares the Mercury-Uranus opposition (and, of course, squares natal Jupiter and opposes natal Uranus-Pluto). The positive leaning Mercury-Uranus to natal Jupiter turns into a Mercury-Saturn-Uranus triplet that likely means surprised by harsh realities that are demoralizing. I could be philosophical and say this just means realizing the enormous responsibility she's taking on and how separated she will be from those around her; but, realistically, this means something gets in the way. There is interference. Things fall through the cracks and don't go quite right.

Most of the rest of the chart (18 foreground aspects) reiterates one of the positive or negative things already mentioned or shows strains on Venus matters - interruptions of relationships and perhaps of happiness. I've felt all along that she'd lose someone close to her at this time (from the many forms of Venus-Saturn she has this year plus transiting Venus opposite natal Pluto 0°20' in this return).

When she returns to Washington, where she probably will be for Election Day, transiting Saturn is square Ascendant and joined by Neptune. It's an extremely negative chart. Furthermore, if Donald Trump is in Mar-A-Lago Monday evening, he gets one of the finest, happiest, winningest lunar returns I've ever seen. My original election forecast said that if he is in Florida Monday night then he goes to bed Tuesday night certain that he has won and feeling on top of the world.

If this were all we had to go by, I'd have forecast his win. However, his charts for inauguration are as harsh, morose, and demoralized as his Monday night SLR is uplifting. VP Harris has navigated the travel terrain and managed to get the best possible lunar returns and new solar return almost every step of the way. I will stick with my original forecast that she wins the election (if for no other reason than that I don't back out of predictions made).

But we haven't seen the last plot point. There is at least one more shoe to drop. Tuesday night is not when we'll know how the story ends.

[Jim Eshelman]

I haven't carefully tracked Vice President Harris' location since the election, but I believe she has been staying around Washington. Her SLR for this last Wednesday is mostly dark with negative emotions: The transiting planets are fine, even uplifting and bringing some surprises, though the natal planets are mostly dark, but with some surprisingly good aspects as well.

t Uranus Z -1°26'
t Sun IC -4°55'
r Saturn Dsc -4°43'
r Jupiter Z -0°56'
r Neptune IC -0°42'
-------------------------
r Mars Asc + 2°19'

t Sun sq rt Mars 0°09'
t Sun sq r Saturn 0°11'
t Uranus co r Jupiter 0°31'
r Sun op r Jupiter 2°13'
r Mars-Jupiter sq 2°43'
t Sun-Uranus op 3°04'

The other (non-foreground) partile aspects are too numerous to get into much. The main ones that might attract attention are the ongoing slow aspects:
t Saturn op r Pluto 0°37' M
t Jupiter sq r Venus 0°32'

Then transiting Mars squares natal Sun, Moon, and Mercury, and Mercury squares her Venus-Uranus.

[alinda]

She is in Waimea, HI until at least the 25th I think. Just as a point of understanding... Since lunar returns move with the individual, to see how the location effects the return would you recalculate the chart for the new location, or is it more complicated than that?

[Jim Eshelman]

It's that simple. The original location persists and the new location layers in.

Here is what the SLR looks like for Waimea, HI:
