The Astrology and Numerology of the US Election, November 5, 2024

The astrology and numerology of the US election date provide valuable insights into this pivotal moment in history. With the planets and numbers aligning in unique ways, this election will reflect intense themes of transformation and societal shifts. By examining key astrological transits and numerological influences, we can better understand the potential outcomes and challenges facing the nation. This analysis explores how these celestial and numerical forces show the direction of the country in the coming years.

The Chart of the Day

The US election takes place over the course of the day, November 5, 2025. Therefore, I have cast the chart for 12:00 pm, using Washington, DC as the location.

As a stand alone chart there is really not much that is exceptional. The Mars opposition with Pluto is certainly a concern. With this transit a powerful tension arises between personal ambition and external control, driving intense conflict and transformative actions. Words that certainly apply to both candidates. However, that aspect will be on the wane since Mars will be past exact alignment with Pluto on that day. But, once we put the November 5 chart into synastry with the US chart, we see some very important dynamics.

The Chart of the US Election and the US Chart

As you can see from the chart below, the US chart is “lit up” by the election day chart.

Here are the top six takeaways from the transiting aspects happening on November 5, 2024.

Transiting Sun in Scorpio Trine the Natal US Sun in Cancer

This powerful alignment highlights deep reflection and hidden dynamics shaping the country’s future direction. This energy supports transformative decisions that prioritize security, emotional resonance, and a rebalancing of resources. The energy brings underlying issues to light for potential collective healing and renewal.

Transiting Pluto in Capricorn Conjunct the Natal US Pluto

Pluto’s final wave of transformative energy reaches its peak. As a result, the nation faces a significant turning point related to its values and resources. This moment signals the end of a long period of upheaval and restructuring. The country must confront deep-rooted issues around power, debt, and stability, with lasting changes ahead. This election takes place in the cycle of the revolutionary energy that created the country.

Transiting Retrograde Uranus Square the Natal US Moon

This energy reflects sudden disruptions and unexpected shifts in daily routines, labor, and public health. The US election falls at a time of tension and uncertainty among the people. Communication and public sentiment feels erratic, with the nation grappling with severe challenges that influence the election’s voter response.

Transiting Retrograde Saturn Square the Natal US Ascendant

Internal struggles related to national identity, security, and foundations are forefront, creating a sense of pressure and limitation. There are clear challenges in defining the country’s direction. Unresolved issues of domestic stability and leadership clash with the public’s outward image, impacting how the nation moves forward post-election.

Transiting Retrograde Chiron in Aries Conjunct the Natal US Chiron

This energy highlights a need for deep healing and reflection on national identity, creativity, and expression. As the country confronts its past wounds, it faces challenges related to selfishness and individuality. This transit emphasizes the need to address collective pain and work towards unity as a key goal going forward.

Transiting Retrograde Jupiter in Gemini Conjunct the Natal US Mars

This conjunction brings a focus on partnerships, diplomacy, and assertiveness, with heightened tension around competition and conflict. It suggests an expansion of debates and legal matters, emphasizing bold actions or confrontations. The country experiences a push for assertive leadership, with amplified discussions around national direction and external alliances.

What to Make of All the Retrograde Energy

The heavy retrograde energy surrounding the 2024 US election signals a period of reflection, unresolved tensions, and delayed progress. With many planets in retrograde, this election is unlikely to bring immediate clarity or resolution. Instead, it may amplify existing divisions, stirring ongoing debates and uncertainty. The retrogrades encourage introspection and reevaluation. Even after the results, significant work has to happen to address deep-rooted issues and chart a clear path forward.

The US is a “Hot Mess”

In truth, most of the world is a “hot mess” right now. Still, the US is, for the time being, the dominant super-power. However, many actions and astrological indicators show decline happening and likely to accelerate. This shift really started back in 2008 when Pluto entered Capricorn. This US election is very much the culmination of the Pluto return, 247 years in the making. Whoever becomes President is going to face challenges on par with George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt.
