Beto O'Rourke - Texas let him down in 2018. How about 2020?

Results of Tuesday's midterm elections in the USA turned out less dramatic than hoped for. A "blue wave" didn't exactly inundate Republican politicians throughout the land, but some of 'em did get their feet wet. Democrats took back the House of Representatives, but the Republican majority in the Senate remains, and has even increased some. Two years of virtual gridlock are in our political future, better than two years of the Trump administration being able to easily push through more potentially disastrous policies.

My biggest disappointment on Tuesday evening was learning that, in Texas, Beto O'Rourke (mentioned in this post) didn't beat Ted Cruz to take his Senate seat. O'Rourke is a young, charismatic and dynamic Democrat with some of the same characteristics as my own hero, Bernie Sanders. I'd love to see him as a candidate in the 2020 presidential election. I've looked at his natal chart with that in mind. Astrotheme has his birth data, but no time of birth is known - a 12 noon chart will have to suffice.

Beto O'Rourke, born in El Paso, Texas on 26 September 1972.






Chart below is for 3 November 2020, date of the election, set for noon.




I'm not going to interpret his natal chart in relation to his personality - though with all those planets in Libra he is bound to exude charm and charisma! What I'm looking for is any correlation between his natal planets & points, and the planetary line-up on election day 2020.

Look first to Capricorn!

His North node of the Moon is conjunct Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn! I wrote a post in 2011 titled "The Rhythm of Life is a powerful Beat" - a snip from that:
"I've found, looking back on my life history, that there has been a distinct rhythm. Important turning points have taken place in time with the cycle of the lunar nodes. The Moon's nodes, points where the orbit of the Moon crosses the ecliptic, take around 19 years to complete a full cycle. Significant events have coincided with the Taurus/Scorpio nodal axis returning to its position at my birth, or to its inverse position, and/or with a transiting planet conjoining one of the nodes. Perhaps, in my case, this rhythm is intensified because of my Cancer ascendant, ruled by the Moon; or because Uranus (natal Sun's ruler) is conjunct natal South lunar node. Both my marriages, important career changes, a major operation, and significant love-related first meetings have these connections."

I'm interested to see whether the same kind of rhythmic pattern will apply in Mr O'Rourke's case. I shall look out for any reporting on Beto O'Rourke in coming months and years!

  1. I looked at the Sun Ingress Libra chart for 2020 and notice the superc conjunction of Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter occupying house 3. This possibly portends a speech/message of huge importance. However, these Capricorn planets quincunxing Beto's Venus return and squaring his natal Uranus which in turn is under stimulation of a Mercury transit: It could be a human caused crisis exacebated by tectonic activity will bring to light the dangers of nuclear wastem and Beta will gain a natural audience for this speeches regarding thereto.

    But will this concern be enough to get the White House for Beto? Not lkikely, but each years's Sun ingress Libra spotlights some aspect of Beto's life and the 2020 Libra Ingress holistically accents Beto's entire natus by incorporating into it all of the other currently transiting planets. And I interpret a Vice Presidency as a strong possibility for Beto because he knows what America's problems [Capricorn transits] are and what the Federal Government can do about them with good leadership.

  2. Charley Settles ~ Thank you for these additional astrological points. It does seem that there are indications we shall be hearing more of Beto in future months and years. Yes, I think a Vice Presidency would be a good fit, as a start - Bernie/Beto - how's that for a good blend?
