As many of you know I've deliberately stayed away from commenting on the US election, now less than two weeks away, other than saying I'm not sure it will take place.
The reason for me feeling that it is not certain it will happen is that transiting Mars is currently opposing Pluto at 27° Cancer-Capricorn in the US chart set for 4th July 1776, 17.10, Philadelphia, and this opposition becomes exact from October 27th to 29th. Then on November 3rd, running right into the election, transiting Mars opposes transiting Pluto exactly at 29° Cancer-Capricorn. These aspects are combustible, assertive, explosive, militaristic, and can display 'brute force', but are excellent in your own chart for willpower and focus to drive a project to completion.
So these unusually powerful aspects running so close to the election may create a 'curved ball' which will mean that the election is delayed, disrupted or even cancelled. I never see the actual events as you know, but they suggest something significant particularly related to the US.
If the election does go ahead, I think it is very likely that the result will be delayed or contested in some way. That isn't just because the energy around the election is so polarised, but Mars moves retrograde on December 6th at 6° Leo, conjunct the US North Node, and continues retrograde until February 24th. When a planet is retrograde it is closer to the Earth and can manifest its symbolism more strongly. It is also during this retrograde phase that the election result must be ratified, and due to the vagaries of the US voting system it is possible that the candidate with fewer votes can still win.
Mars repeats its exact opposition to Pluto on January 3rd at 1° Leo-Aquarius, and again on April 26th at 3° of those signs. Mars doesn't move out of its 'shadow phase' (the degree at which it moved retrograde, at 6° Leo) until May 2nd. So this is an extended period of time, suggesting that whatever began at the first exact opposition may run until around late April.
Therefore there is potentially a lot of drama and noise around these transits and events that can pull out attention very easily into the turbulence and uncertainty of 3D and lower frequencies of polarity and judgement. Could it possibly be that there are some who would wish that to happen?
So this is a powerful test of our mastery. Despite what is happening in the external world, as far as you are able, stay in peace, calm and love, welcoming in an expanded consciousness of love. Keep dropping inwards to stillness. Know that humanity is entering a much more beautiful multidimensional period as the result of a dimensional shift. It's obviously harder to keep a positive focus if we are caught up in some extreme situation or weather event, which means that the rest of us have to come together even more in these higher frequencies to beam them to those who need them most.
Know that all this is part of the final death throes of the old order. Know that just like when I was taught to split a builders' plank with my bare hand, the trick was to focus on where I wanted to get to six inches below the plank, not on the obstacle.
These are very big times of endings and beginnings as many of you are aware. There is a clear collective timeline of fear and panic, and another very beautiful one borne of love, peace, joy and compassion. The latter is where we need to put our consistent focus and when we do, we accelerate its arrival for all of humanity.
Blessings to you all on this journey, and thank you.
