There's the Aquarius Moon. (We have the whole set!) However, it isn't at all clear whether he's a Libra or Scorpio Sun. (I suspect Libra from his political history.)

Why haven't wee looked at Biden's chart? It's available on Astrodatabank. His SSR relocated to Miluakee for the announcement doesn't look that promising. Natal Saturn on the MC of the SSR with Moon opposite Neptune across the SSR horizon. Just from the first debates, I can intuitively say that Warren, Biden, and Harris are the most likely to get the nomination. Biden's chart doesn't look that good for it, though.

Biden's chart has been examined here many times over the years - just type Biden into the Search field and see. He's also been mentioned here.

I wouldn't think his SSR relocated to where he announced his candidacy is relevant for anything but that location. What would be relevant are where he was when his SSR setup and where he will be on election night.

Perhaps of interest, the top five fundraisers for the last quarter were (from top down):

1. PETE BUTTIGIEG Capricorn-Scorpio
2. JOSEPH BIDEN Scorpio-Aries
3. ELIZABETH WARREN Gemini-Aries
4. BERNIE SANDERS Leo-Pisces
5. KAMALA HARRIS Libra-Aries

(4 & 5 are approximately tied; the others have a couple of million gap between them)
