Astrological Energy of Nov 3, 2026
This is about a brief look at the astrology of the US Mid-Term elections. The first states (KY and IN) close their polls at 6pm EST, so the chart reflects that time (3pm PST).
The natal chart shows a waning Crescent Moon in Virgo (almost precisely conjunct Hygeia) and sextile to the Sun in Scorpio. Mars is approaching Jupiter in Leo (less than 5 degrees away). Venus is retrograding and in a resonate sign of Libra plus the beginning of an entriely new Venus cycle. Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio, about to conjunct the Sun (Nov 4). The lunar nodes are in Aquarius and Leo, strongly being influenced by Jupiter and Mars.
We are also still in a strong pattern of the mini-Grand Trine/Sextile pattern with Neptune, Pluto and Uranus PLUS the ongoing Saturn and Neptune conjunction period in Aries. What all of this means, is that we are in a significant moment of a waning pattern with emerging new leadership while at the same time, a potential egalitarian (humanity/global centered) energy seeing the light of day while a great unknown, yet a new level of consciousness is also being glimpsed. There is also a counter-point that shows where steps made in the future are ignoing or not seeing the full picture yet.
However, I tend to look a the larger, long-term trends and cycles/patterns, such as the Outer Planet Trine/Sextile aspects and esepcially with the ongoing Saturn-Neptune conjunction period in Aries, it really speaks to a massive wave of voices that want to be heard and for justice to arrive. If we see that as the background, we know that not only change is coming, but a dynamic that has the POTENTIAL to be that will help move the "meter" toward more "people power" rather than "corporate" power. However, it is part of a very long road, so it will likely take years.
The Moon's position suggests a waning of the old patterns, letting go of what once was to make room for the new down the road. Even Mercury and Venus are showing a measure of it due to their retrograde motion. Perhaps this will help take us closer to breaking old patterns that no longer serve as well.
