THE 6

SIGNS MOST

LIKELY TO

BECOME

PRESIDENT

Sorry, Virgos.

(And everyone

else.)

By JULIA

PUGACHEVSKY

AQUARIUS

As the most humani-

tarian sign and

intellectual to boot,

they were basically

born to rule. (See:

Abe Lincoln and

FDR.)

SCORPIO

Weird, right? But

Scorps possess the

sort of magnetism

that draws people

right in. Teddy Roos-

evelt + his ’stache =

Big Scorpio Energy.

LEO

Duh. The attention-

seeking, born-

leader fire sign will

take your votes. We

see you, Barack

Obama.

CANCER

Also surprising,

but also not really:

Cancer is the most

nurturing sign,

which is one of the

most important qual-

ities in a president.

CAPRICORN

Hard workers

who like flashy

rewards, Caps have

what it takes to

keep their eyes on

the prize for

literally ever, even

if it means running

multiple times.

LIBRA

Libras are sooo

likable, if only

because they can

flip-flop on their

opinions like no

one else, basically

appealing to every-

one. (Sorry, but

it’s true.)

slammed by Saturn

next year, Bernie

Sanders’ chart will

get seriously shit on

by Mercury and

Mars Retrogrades in

November 2020,

and Joe Biden’s chart

is, well, downright

unremarkable. And

yes, at press time, all

these names were

still in the race. Don’t

@ me if Warren

drops out to start a

c o l o ny o n M a rs o r

something.)

Warren has a Sun

in Cancer and Moon

in Taurus, so she has

emotional depth,

loves taking care of

others, and exudes a

sense of chill. Her

chart also has

Mercury conjunct

w it h M a rs in G e mini,

which means she’s a

powerful teacher

and communicator.

For much of 2020,

S a t u r n w il l b e a c t i -

vating Warren’s yod,

a rare configuration

in a birth chart that

in her case includes

Jupiter (philosophy

and generosity) in

Aquarius. Transla-

tion: This is a prime

opportunity for her to

make huge changes

in the world.

There’s more:

On Super Tuesday,

March 3rd, when

m a ny s t a t e s vo t e o n

who a party’s nomi-

nee will be, Warren’s

north node (it repre-

sents fate, gain, and

progression) will

activate her Sun in

Cancer. Basically,

t his w il l b e a *ve r y*

important time in her

life. And on June

21st, the day before

her birthday and just

weeks before the

Democratic National

Convention, a solar

eclipse (bringing

sudden opportuni-

ties) will happen

right on top of her

Sun sign, almost

down to the exact

minute. This is an

incredibly rare

occurrence—and a

tremendous turning

point for Warren. It’s

going to be a very,

ve r y b us y t im e f o r

h e r, p ro b a b l y in a

very, very good way.

The Trump card

Donald Trump’s chart

is exactly what you’d

expect: Gemini Sun,

Sagittarius Moon,

he talks a lot, he’s

every thought, and

h e l ove s t o s o a k u p

the limelight.

During the week

of Super Tuesday, the

Sun in Pisces will

f o r m a s q u a re t o his

Sun in Gemini—a

twice-a-year event

that signals a

moment of chal-

lenges and conflicts.

S o eve n if h e g e t s t h e

Republican nom in a

landslide, it won’t

feel easy for him.

A few months

later, the Republican

National Convention

will kick off on

August 24th, which

happens to be the

only major election-

related day of the

year when Trump has

any beneficial stuff

in his horoscope.

The Sun will be in

Virgo, forming a

conjunction to

Trump’s Ascendant

and giving him a

moment of recogni-

tion, excitement,

and new beginnings.

So he’ll probably

give a big speech

(although, honestly,

what else is new?).

Looking way

ahead to Election

Day of next year,

Saturn and Pluto: Name a

more iconically, rudely, wildly

messy duo. I’ll wait.

*huge* transits

going on. Remember

that Saturn-Pluto con-

junction? Well, it’ll

be forming a trine to

Trump’s Midheaven,

a point in his chart

representing career,

public image, and

reputation. Trines

are considered

harmonious and

easygoing, buuut

since the Saturn-Pluto

conjunction is all

about, y’know,

massive transforma-

t io ns, it l o o k s like his

status could be

changing...bigly.

Oh, also, an

asteroid called Pallas

Athene, the zodiac’s

i c o n o f f e minis m a n d

female empower-

ment, will be chilling

with Saturn and

Pluto, which isn’t the

most spectacular

news for Mr. Trump.

Just saying!

And on Inaugura-

tion Day in 2021, he

has...nothing major

going on in his chart.

Zero. Nada. Zilch.

And that’s it. Of

course, none of this

means anything if

you don’t, uh, vote.

This isn’t some

cosmic get-out-of-

the-White-House-

free card, mmmkay?

(Seriously, though,

go vote.)
