For the highly anticipated debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump 9/10/24, Philadelphia, PA @ 9PM EDT. -
The Ascendant or Rising sign for 9PM on 9/10/24 in Philadelphia is Taurus, ruled by Venus sitting in its home sign of Libra. Kamala Harris is a Sun/Libra. This favors her. Venus is a key planet for her shine-power and leadership abilities. It’s important for her to focus on all things female - the obvious war on women and control over their bodies and Trump’s Achilles heel proven time and time again – his obvious dislike of strong women (He holds Venus/Saturn conjunction in Cancer in his birth-chart) and his disparagement and abuse of them again and again. If she can highlight what women care about most, she will score points.
The Moon is in Sagittarius tonight, which is Trump’s natal Moon, so this favors him. However, we’ve seen how he uses his Moon, natally opposite Uranus (unpredictable). This serves to accentuate his tendency to go off script, lie and exaggerate and run off in various unhinged, weird directions! He might be hard to corral if he loses control and goes off on a rant – but his lack of discipline will be clear. His tendency to muddle and combine many issues in long running sentences can throw others off – which happened in the debate with Biden, who was exhausted from extensive travel.
Both candidates have fiery Moons. Kamala’s is in feisty Aries – no shrinking violet is she. As she’s said through her work as a prosecutor, “I know his type!” She must demonstrate leadership ability and a clear policy agenda to an American public that has never had a female President. She must show strength, toughness, capability to lead and put bullies in their place in a controlled, direct, unequivocal manner. (Notice that this inability to lead has not seemed to harm Trump, a convicted felon, incessant liar, misogynist, etc. but a woman - sadly that’s the reality - has to work overtime to earn the people’s confidence to lead.)
The Ascendant/Descendent axis is Taurus/Scorpio. As mentioned, Taurus ruled by Venus now transiting Libra and Scorpio ruled by Mars now transiting in Cancer. Venus in Libra is strong in its own sign and Mars is weak in Cancer. However, this Mars weakness can get more aggressive when needled or when it feels vulnerable or attacked on sensitive, personal issues. Kamala take note and get some personal punches in. Don’t let him get away with his usual garbage. Draw out your opponent and show people once more who this man really is and how incompetent he is to lead the greatest country on Earth.
Both candidates have Mars in Leo! One uses his Mars to intimidate, dominate and bully. The female with Mars/Leo must show she can stand up to strong men and bullies and hold her ground with both heart and strength as an inspiring, competent leader.
Basically, most people know who Trump is. Many people do not fully know Kamala Harris. She needs to clearly define herself on a host of issues and show her dominance and ability to lead. It’s going to be some heavy lifting, but she can do it.
