Will Jupiter-Saturn conjunction strike again at American presidency in 2021?

by Milky Way Maid

Holy Cripes! I took a gander at drawing up a chart for the Presidential Inaugural on Jan. 20, 2021, and it looks like the winner might wish he had lost. Go ahead, make your own chart for noon (or perhaps 12:05 or whenever you think the swearing-in will be finished) and have a look. 
 
The Placidus chart I made has 14 degrees Taurus rising, with a nice trine to Venus at 15 Capricorn in the 9th house, so that looks like the nation and the press will welcome him and throw verbal flowers his way. However, close on the Ascendant are Mars and Uranus, both at 6 degrees Taurus in the twelfth house, which suggests an accident or perhaps a medical event that requires surgery and a hospital stay. Those two planets square Jupiter at 7 degrees Aquarius (with Saturn close by at 3 degrees). 
 
Also foreboding is Pluto at 24 degrees Capricorn conjunct the Midheaven at 26 degrees. This is not good at all. To me, Pluto aspecting an angle means that things do not come off. An athlete has to withdraw from a competition before it occurs, or the event gets rescheduled for another time – things like that. It is possible that a public swearing-in cannot be held because of a return of the virus-that-cannot-be-named – although I'd kind of expect Neptune to be active in such a case. 
 
In this case, with Venus in a happy aspect to the Ascendant, I would guess people welcome the new chief executive, but with Pluto breathing on the Midheaven maybe the administration cannot even get started before a strong challenge occurs. Perhaps Venus' presence means that the outcome of the emergency, whatever it is, will be a lucky one. 
 
I'll give you the full details of the planets in this chart. Of course you can draw a chart yourself if you prefer a different house system...
SUN at 00 Aquarius in tenth house. Moon at 29 Aries in twelfth house. Mercury at 18 Aquarius in tenth house. Venus at 15 Capricorn in ninth house. Mars and Uranus at 6 Taurus in twelfth house. Jupiter at 7 Aquarius in tenth house (and Saturn is near at 3 degrees). Neptune is at 18 Pisces in eleventh house. Pluto at 24 Capricorn in ninth house near the MC. The North Node is at 19 degrees, 5 minutes Gemini in the second, so that this axis lies across the second to eighth houses. And Part of Fortune is at 12 degrees Leo in the fourth house, where its only close aspect is an inconjunct to that Venus. 
 
Of course you are asking me what kind of aspects these make to the presumptive Democratic nominee's chart? For one thing, Joe Biden's natal Jupiter at 25 Cancer opposes that Pluto and Midheaven, not too bad. His own Pluto at 7 Leo squares transiting Mars-Uranus in Taurus, which doesn't sound good at all, altho it could mean he foils protesters or secret plotters. Pluto and that Mars-Uranus make a T-square with transiting Jupiter in Aquarius, so he has a very challenging situation indeed. I suppose by then the economy will have been driven into the ground by poor decisions on the part of his predecessor. 
 
Bernie fans will be pleased to note that his Saturn in Taurus and his Neptune in Virgo will make a grand trine with the inauguration Midheaven, a very fortunate aspect. However his Venus at 22 Libra and his Mars at 23 Aries will square that Midheaven, too; he can't expect to get through without challenges during his term.
