JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM for this week’s “Karmic Evolution’s Astrologically Speaking” podcast that drops today & learn how the Scorpio New Moon moves us to plant seeds that empower us to TRUST ourselves!

First we look back at what’s been revealed to us with stark clarity this past week since Mercury in Scorpio opposed Taurus Rx in Uranus October 30. Was this aspect of sudden shocking & surprising statements the real “October surprise” leading up to this year’s U.S. presidential election? 

We’ll discuss whether, as Mars in Cancer waxes toward its exact opposition to Pluto in Capricorn November 3, the angry racist, xenophobic, & misogynist rhetoric made by a presidential candidate & his supporters will change the outcome of the November 5 U.S. presidential election. 

This may prove true as Uranus retrograde in Taurus asks us to continue to review & re-evaluate our basic values, especially now based on what prominent people say. History often rhymes, & the current atmosphere bears close similarity to the “October surprise” from October 28, 2016, when a late in the game announcement by then FBI Director James Comey changed the direction of the November 8 election’s outcome that year.      


In addition, this podcast compares the astrology of the GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s October 27 rally at NYC’s Madison Square Garden with the pro-Nazi rally held there on February 20, 1939, & find some not so subtle similarities. 
Hint: This time transiting Mars in Cancer is opposing both transiting Pluto AND the U.S. natal Pluto in the Sibly chart’s 8th & 2nd Houses, respectively. Back in 1939, transiting Pluto in Cancer in the U.S.’s 8th H opposed not only its natal 2nd H position but also transiting Juno in Capricorn there, the goddess asteroid of “the wife” or partnership. Perfect scenario for pissing off those who may formerly have supported you, eh?
We look also at how Trump’s continuing misogynist rhetoric, including the Mars opposite Pluto type recent statement that he will protect women “whether they like it or not” will spawn a “hell that no fury like a woman scorned” tsunami at the polls. This is entirely possible, now that Trump’s 3rd H progressed Scorpio Moon is less than a degree away from an exact square to his natal 12th House Leo Pluto. The simple definition? “Trouble with women!”
Meanwhile, the question becomes whether we’ve heeded the October 2 Libra New Moon solar eclipse’s request to plant seeds that blossom into us all becoming our own best partner before seeking external ones. If so, now the Scorpio New Moon tasks us to reject Libra’s indecisiveness & instead to go deep into trusting our own inner truth. 
What does that mean? Well, the message now at this Scorpio New Moon is to plant seeds that can blossom into a greater sense of self-empowerment. That comes through the Mercury opposite Uranus revelations of October 30 that helped spark a deeper understanding & greater consciousness that a strong sense of true inner trust brings with it freedom of choice. 
We’re aided in this endeavor to expand our consciousness when Mercury in Scorpio trines Mars in Cancer & then enters Sagittarius November 2. The exact Mars/Pluto opposition is followed by Venus in Sagittarius’s opposition to Jupiter in Gemini November 3, which is also when Mars enters loud & proud Leo later that day.
Venus opposite Jupiter brings up the issue of how much is too much & whether those who have more (you know, like billionaires Elon Musk & Jeff Bezos) should share more with those who do not—or at least not accuse the have nots of being lazy good for nothing loafers. You know, those who suck at the teat of government, as former President Ronald Reagan was fond of saying while promoting his austerity-oriented cuts to federal funding. 
The Scorpio Sun’s November 4 trine to Saturn Rx in Pisces --which is slowing down now to station direct on November 15—allows us a clearer mental picture of who we are & what we do in order to develop the self-discipline necessary to accomplish our goals.
With that in mind, this podcast explores the transits to the U.S. Sibly chart on election day, November 5, when the Moon moves that morning from fiery adventurous Sagittarius to earthy practical Capricorn as we stand at the threshold of this most important juncture in U.S. history.  
How that will play exactly remains to be seen, but know that the “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned Mars/Pluto opposition is still very much in play. As is the square of transiting Saturn retrograde in Pisces in the U.S. 4th House of home, security, tradition, family, nurturing, compassion, memory, & habit to the U.S. Sagittarius/Gemini Ascendant/Descendant axis.
Will Americans’ relationship with the presidential candidates be “severely tested” now, as astrologer Rob Hand describes this aspect in his book “Planets In Transit.” Or will it result in ”a serious breakdown in your relationships because of misplaced priorities in the past or because of associating with people who were wrong for you in terms of your personal goals & needs.”   
Great question, and a good one to keep in mind as some people are still deciding who to vote for. I’ll leave everyone with this to ponder now: Is it true that wise ol’ Saturn does always know best in the end?
