Mark Kelly (February 21, 1964)

I’m really not in the business of predictions and prophecy, although at times it might seem otherwise. Last Sunday, when Kamala Harris was thrust into the Presidential race by President Biden, I looked at the frontrunners of who could be her running mate. I chose Mark Kelly. Call it instinct, call it inspired.

As his birth time is unknown, I rectified the chart to place Venus at age 43, when he married Gabby Giffords. Just look at that dynamic! Three inconjuncts, two of which would still exist with a different birth time. And the incidental conjunction between Pluto and his Virgo Ascendant should make the Republicans very nervous. This man could outgun Trump and Vance combined, all on his own.

With this aspect you must learn a great deal about the kinds of friends you want and the kinds of experiences you will have through other people. Even while you are still young, you may meet persons who are quite difficult to get along with, but who seem to be impossible to get away from, even when you want to. You may be fascinated by such persons, or circumstances may force you to stay with them. These people do have a definite role to play in your life, but it may not always be a pleasant one. They will teach you something about life or about yourself.

Venus Inconjunct Ascendant (perhaps)

You often feel that you haven’t any right to ask much of those whom you love. You feel that you must do favors for them instead of asking for their help. For you, love is an act of service, not self-gratification. Also, through relationships with others, you try to learn more about your own and other people’s inner workings. For this reason your relationships are more deep and profound than most people’s. But they are somewhat difficult, too. You may feel unsure that others will like you or accept your affection. This is one reason why you express your love by doing nice things for people. You are trying to win them over.

Jupiter Inconjunct Neptune

You are an idealist with very vivid dreams about how you want your life to be, and at certain times in your life you will follow those dreams with all your energy. But sometimes these idealistic dreams will let you down, because you are not concerned enough with what is real and possible. Yet learning to handle the real world is a very important part of your development, because it is the only way you can avoid becoming bitter and disillusioned when your more impractical ideas have led you into disappointment.

By combining Kelly’s chart with Harris’ we are able to see how they will get on, and where there strengths and their weaknesses are.

Kelly’s Moon is conjunct Harris’ Ascendant. They will be in sync. Because they’re born in the same year, the slower moving planets will all be conjunct, starting at Saturn and working through to Pluto. Therefore their long-term goals will be the same.

Again, let’s see how Kamala Harris’ instinct kicks in. Will she choose Mark Kelly? We shall see.
