Donald Trump has won the 2024 United States Presidential Election. What astrological influences are responsible for his win and Kamala’s loss?
In this article, we will discuss both candidates’ transits and progressions on the day of the election to understand how this all happened. I have seen some speculation about the next couple of months in regards to the upcoming retrogrades, but this article will focus only on Election Day transits and progressions for each candidate.

Kamala’s Transits
Saturn and Neptune were transiting her 10th house of career, status, and leadership which obviously affected her career. Some saw the Saturn transit to her 10th house as a very good sign, as Saturn is the planet of ambition, increased responsibility and prominence, which makes sense.
However, at the time of the election, Saturn was aspecting her natal 10th house Chiron- 4th house Uranus/Pluto opposition, which points to sudden and painful transformation related to career and home. Neptune was also transiting her 10th house at the time, making a square to her progressed Sun, which can indicate disappointments and confusion regarding her career goals and aspirations.
Trump’s Transits
Donald Trump had several interesting transits on Election Day. What stood out to me the most was Uranus transiting his 10th house of career, status, and leadership, which can bring major change, as well as instability and unpredictability to this area of life. Whether the transit is positive or negative depends on how Uranus aspects the native’s chart while transiting the 10th house. In Trump’s case, Uranus was exactly sextile his natal Venus on Election Day, which is very significant because Venus rules his 10th house.
Furthermore, transiting Jupiter was conjunct his North Node in the 10th house which is obviously a very positive transit. This indicates a period of growth, luck and expansion regarding his life path and destiny, which is closely tied to leadership and career in his chart. Transiting Venus was conjunct Kamala’s South Node at the time of the election, which I found very interesting given the North Node’s association with growth and development, and the South Node’s association with stagnation.
Trump’s Progressions
On its own, Trump’s Progressed Chart looks very powerful, with his Ascendant at 29 degrees Libra, which is a critical point suggesting culminations and transitions. Most importantly, his progressed Venus (which rules his progressed ascendant) is conjunct progressed Jupiter (1 degree applying), signifying expansion, luck and increased popularity. His Venus/Jupiter conjunction is also sextile his progressed Mercury in his progressed 10th house, another positive sign of growth in career matters.
Donald is in for a major shift between this year and mid 2025 while his Ascendant progresses thorough the final degree of Libra, and when his Ascendant shifts to scorpio and his Progressed Libra stellium moves to the progressed 12th house.
It was interesting to look at his progressions for the last two elections. When he won the first time in 2016, his progressed Libra Ascendant was conjunct his progressed Jupiter, indicating luck, growth, and success. In 2020, his progressed Venus, which ruled his progressed Ascendant was conjunct his progressed Chiron, indicating vulnerability, pain, and wounding.
Kamala’s Progressed Chart
Kamala has some positive progressions at this time, including her progressed Jupiter in her progressed 10th house trine Pluto in her 2nd house. This progression points to luck, transformation and expansion in her public life. In her progressed chart, Jupiter rules her 5th house, which makes sense given her being ‘in the spotlight’ during this time. She has certainly gained a lot of popularity in the last while, and this popularity is likely to continue after the election.
However, her progressed Venus, which rules her 10th house, is square her progressed Saturn (separating by 1 degree). Saturn in hard aspect to the ruler of the 10th house can indicate delays, difficulties, and obstacles related to career and public image.
When comparing her progressed chart to her natal chart, it gets even more interesting. The ruler of her chart Mercury has progressed to Sagittarius, the sign of its detriment in retrograde. On top of this, her progressed Mercury is also conjunct her natal South Node/Descendant conjunction. Her South Node/Descendant conjunction indicates her partnerships at this time (including open enemies and opponents) are highly karmic and rooted in her past lives. This configuration of planets points to a repetition of patterns and events from the past.
It is also interesting to note Donald is a Gemini, so Kamala’s progressed Mercury can represent Donald himself. In their synastry, Donald and Kamala share very powerful nodal connections, with Donald’s Sun-Moon opposition falling along Kamala’s Node-Ascendant. The conjunction of Donald’s Moon to Kamala’s South Node/Descendant conjunction indicates their ‘partnership’ is indeed rooted in the past, so it makes sense Kamala’s South Node is activated by progression in her own chart. Major karmic action is at play here.
Trump’s stars in 2025 are very intense. His progressed Ascendant will still be at the 29th degree of Libra for most of the year before it moves into Scorpio in the middle of the year, signaling a huge shift for the incoming president. In addition, he has heightened and possible ‘dangerous’ activity in his chart in April and May 2025.
