in a landslide. Virgo is rising in the election day horoscope, putting Bernie's Sun in that chart's first house. The Moon forms a trine to Bernie's eleventh house Venus and a trine to his Jupiter. Moreover, it makes a sextile to the Moon-Mars conjunction. All of these aspects are highly fortunate, showing good fortune (Jupiter), popularity (Venus) and acceptance (Moon)

Pluto forms an exact trine to his Sun that day, suggesting an expansion of his power, and Saturn forms an exact square to his Sun that day as well, revealing a turning point in his destiny and the taking on of a burdensome responsibility, which assuming the presidency would most assuredly be.

My take on all of this is that Bernie Sanders, in one of the greatest upsets in American political history, will be elected the next president of the United States.'

The only thing I wonder about, which the article doesn't address, is where the birth time came from. Every other chart for Sanders I've seen so far hasn't known his birth time. Wondering if this is new info, or unreliable info. Many of the aspects would still be the same but anything involving houses would be unknown.

Is This the Natal Horoscope of Senator Bernie Sanders?
Many thanks to my FB friend Sara Jayara for cluing me in to the fact that there is a possible known birth hour for Senator Bernie Sanders based on a glimpse of a natal chart done for him years ago by a girlfriend.

If fixed Scorpio is indeed rising, his rigidity of purpose concerning Scorpionic issues (corporations, big business, money including hidden funds, taxes, surveillance, etc) through the years makes sense though of course many other factors must be considered. In Astrology, rectification of a chart and time is quite a laborious task and one must know life events of the native and their timing in order to make a success of it. Since my study and blogging schedule was shortened by circumstances in 2012, rectification time is what I do not have so I'm posting my penned-upon version of said chart (September 8, 1941 12:27 pm EDT Brooklyn, NY King's County) for your consideration and for my future reference.

I am fascinated by your analysis. While the Saturn square to Bernie's Sun troubles me, it certainly is true that Pluto trine his Sun bodes well.

I also note that favorable Jupiter hovers over his Sun much of the primary season, including the date of the last Democratic primaries.

In addition, it is of interest that Uranus indicating fame, popularity, and revolution meets the United States Chiron, indicating destiny, around election and inauguration days. The last time we had this transit, Franklin Delano Roosevelt became president. I hope our revolutionary Bernie Sanders will carry on that destiny of lifting up the common people.

and glad you found something of interest there.

Yes, we're ready for a revolution; glad Uranus and Chiron agree.
