Some have asked the astrological indications of who will experience the best election day 2016. It is too early, we need to wait until each convention elects their candidate. For those of you who know astrology, Democrats are symbolized by Saturn, the Republicans by Jupiter.

The following is only a very general overview.

National elections will be Tuesday, November 8, 2016. Astrological aspects reveal good news for whomever is wealthy, stable, touts change and is blunt in speech. On election day we have Venus and Saturn in Sagittarius, and Neptune in Pisces, all mutable or changeable signs, indicating the news goes back and forth. The Sun and Mercury will be in the sign of Scorpio, working well with Mars and Pluto in Capricorn, indicating common sense prevails with the opportunity for the practical. Uranus in Aries in a good relationship with Venus in Sagittarius, portending good change. During January and February, Neptune will square the United States' Uranus, a repeat of the last two weeks of April and the first week of May 2015. Instability in the job market, health care and flooding affecting farmland. Also the indicator of the evaporation of he stock market.  In addition, Saturn reveals, or is pushing for, an adjustment or accommodation to the President regarding foreign relations, which repeats the last week of May and first week of June 2016, and the third and fourth week October 2016. The third week of January through the first few days of February, 2016, there could be unrealistic expectations in foreign relations and diplomacy when an agreement could be dissolved because of deceit; or one of the participants is evasive. This is a repeat or continuation of the situation of December 11 through December 25, 2015. The first eight days of February, 2016, Saturn will conjunct the ascendant of the United States, indicating great stress in relationships with allies, dampening of the energy of the population and possible unexpected seriousness of the people. This repeats the second and third week of May 2016, and again the last few days of October and first week of November, 2016, including election day of November 8. February 6 through February 15, 2016, Jupiter will square Mars, indicating a disagreement with allies (or enemies), followed by a possible letting go. This is a repeat of the first week of December, 2015. Both of these situations repeat from the last week in July through first week of August 2016. June, July and August of 2016, Uranus will square the United States Mercury. Sudden changes or upheavals in communication, especially with allies and enemies; breaking of agreements and possible sudden changes to the country's money supply or housing prices. This aspect indicates a push for change that appears to be sudden but has been simmering. These changes can be good because Uranus breaks through stalemate to bring fresh ideas and situations. The last week of August 2016,  good news from Jupiter to the United States Pluto, revealing a situation where common sense can prevail, with a settling down of commodities and possibly good crops somewhere in the country. With Jupiter transiting the United States ninth house of foreign relations, the churches and higher education, indications are that these areas could experience good situations. The last week of September, 2016, Jupiter is conjunct the United States' Midheaven, which is the point of reputation and the President, who could experience an honor or make an announcement that is accepted. This could also be a surge in acceptance of a Republican candidate. During this time, Pluto will again square the United States' Saturn from the second week of September through the first week of October 2016, a repeat of December 2015, indicating continued letting go or the diminishing of the power of the President and the United States. This could be continuing changes in the stock market or a very stressful, challenging situation to a Democrat. October 2016 sees Mars opposing the United States Venus, Jupiter, Sun, Mercury and squaring Saturn. The election rhetoric could become fierce. There could be attacks on the United States and disagreements with Allies and enemies. Joining this stressful situation, Jupiter moves into the sign of Libra, forming a square with Venus, revealing excess in spending. There could be a breakthrough in a prominent legal case. Looks like October will be a volatile month, with challenging situations for the work force, health care, dealings with allies and challenges to the population, with a letting go of some expectations. November 2016, election month, Uranus indicates a sudden modification or adjustment in the work force and health care; possible seriousness or malaise of the population; lightening of the burden of the President and responsibilities; opportunity for the population to be less burdened and more optimistic. December 2016 sees Saturn in opposition to Mars, revealing a storm in relationships, especially with allies and enemies. There could be a coming apart or end of agreements, with the situation going into the first week of January 2017. Jupiter will square the United States Mercury, indicating a lot of communication and the possible revelation of, or the publication of the details of an agreement. Of course, December is the month of preparing for the going out of the un-elected and the coming in of the elected. Uranus is quiet in December, and reveals opportunities for good change during February of 2017. Interestingly, the United States' Moon in Aquarius is not affected by the outer planets during 2016, but 2017 is a better situation. Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter will relate to the United States Moon harmoniously in 2017, which means the finances will be better, and the population will be happier because of harmonious changes.  This is the overview for the United States for 2016.
