CNN Presidential Debate (June 27, 2024)

Train wreck? That’s putting it mildly. Four hours before the event, I did this chart:

Initially, my eye was drawn to Mercury’s position in the event chart: it is conjunct Trump’s Venus/Saturn conjunction, and conjunct Biden’s Jupiter. OK, I said to myself, Trump has to endure some restriction on his usual tactics. Biden will have more opportunity to be expansive in his discussions. Then I looked at the Sun in the event chart: oops, it is conjunct to Trump’s Mercury. “Houston, we have a problem.”

Pluto in the event chart is beginning to come into opposition with both men’s natal positions of Pluto. At the moment Pluto in the event chart is retrograde, so the full effects are not visible. But when it goes direct, it’ll be affecting Biden before it affects Trump, so that doesn’t bode well for the country.
