The Dixville Notch 2008 Election Chart

Want to post the Dixville Notch Chart up here again, as the closing observations here will be mostly concerned with the aspects as they unfold in time through the focus of this cosmic snapshot.

The art of astrology is always about timing. The modern approach to astrology which began in earnest in the 1970s with Steven Arroyo, Jeff Green, Steven Forrest, Liz Greene, and others - has its basis in the teachings of Carl Jung and his focus on cultural archetypes, group consciousness and synchronicity. "Things born of a moment, have the qualities of that moment" - a unique signature in the cosmos. The astrology chart then, is a map of consciousness and energy patterns unique to a moment of 'birth', or a particular moment in time.

There is no agreed upon method for casting a 'chart' for election day. Many astrologers simply cast a chart for Noon, Washington DC - the seat of government - for a national election. While much useful information can be gleaned from a Washington DC chart on election day, the choosing of the Noon time is quite arbitrary and bears little relationship to the Jungian archetype.

Dixville Notch, New Hampshire is the first place in the nation where actual voting begins, and I feel reflects the 'unique cosmic signature' of the election. Elections are always about 'the People', and this is the peoples' election and historic moment in time.

Exciting, yes!? To me this chart represents a beautiful pattern of energies, as beautiful as Liberty itself!

Concluding Comments...

The concluding comments here will be a sort of a ramble along the lines of the intuitive flashes and insights I experienced as the Dixville Notch chart first unfolded before me.

The Dixville Notch chart of the 2000 Election (first time I used this charting method) - showed only too clearly, the confusing, deceitful and botched 'election of 2000' - and our 'break' with our 'timeline'.

Little did I realize as I cast that chart that such energies were amassing against our Republic, and of such strength as to actually 'warp' us all into a new dimensional 'timeline' - a parallel world, a new forced placement on the grid of possible futures.

While I observed the face of Dan Rather on CBS News in the darkness of that unfolding night - and the look of incredulity on his face as he was listening to whatever was being said through his earphones - when he placed up the portrait of GW Bush, calling the election for him - I 'felt' an actual and psychic 'shift' in the reality of our time line that staggered me. We had entered a parallel world. The shock n'awe of the ensuing nearly eight years have reinforced this 'reality'. I have not been alone in this 'feeling', this certainty of having been shifted to a parallel world.

It was with this sort of caution, a mixture of dread and of hope, that I peeked at the Dixville Notch chart for this election...

A new status quo? An old revolution?

A first impression of the Election Chart, is the blazing energy signature of the Saturn/Uranus opposition wheeling across the horizon! Saturn energy pulls toward the status quo, represents structure, institutions, the government. Virgo focuses the energies of practicality, of purity, the cleanness of form and of function. Wondering how this Virgoan purity can be seen as the current expression of a government which has been secretive, convoluted and chaotic. A 'new' status quo? An Orwellian deception?

And Uranus, a planet of change, flashes of insight, of pushing at the boundaries of form - in the sign of Pisces whose energy is expressed as idealism, a yearning for inclusion and faith? Idealism denied leads to cynicism, fanaticism and extremism - rather than constructive change. Revolution or self immolation? Nothing is as it seems.

Venus in this chart, bisects this opposition of Saturn/Uranus in a hard aspect to each, and anchors their tensions in the 4th House, or foundation of this chart. The Venusian energy which expresses in social interactions, co-operation and harmony is afflicted here - a reflection of the tensions of the cultural divide we are experiencing.

The focal point for the release of all this tension - is through the 'open end' of the T-Square - the 10th House. Everything open and in a public venue.

This will be an election about 'The People' and their relationship to the government. Turnout should be massive. The indicator of the 'way through', Venus - is in inconjunct (150* aspect) to the Mid Heaven of the chart, indicating 'karmic adjustment' and resolution. The People have a renewed interest in upholding their civic responsibility, and continue to have the faith their voices will be heard.

Other indicators of themes and tensions are the placement of two planets at 29* of the signs they occupy. This placement at the very ends of the signs indicate 'exhaustion' and 'being at the end of ones rope'. Pluto at 29* Sagittarius (an excess of excesses?), and Mercury at 29* Libra (frustration with being out of balance and outside the rule of law?).

Mercury will change signs and energy signature during the election, moving to the intensity of 0*Scorpio - and this is very fascinating, as Mercury here which was under such affliction in the election of 2000 - returns, this time in direct motion, to the exact degree it occupied in the Election of 2000, where it had been stationary retrograde. This aspect, more than any other, suggested to me this 'shifting back' to the timeline of the nation's original path.

Now, to the Moon which reveals the pacing and timing of unfolding events.

The Moon in the chart for Dixville Notch is not 'void of course' and will make the following aspects on its journey on election day. First, a trine (flowing) aspect to the Mid Heaven at the top of the chart, facilitating the expression of the will of the people on the public stage. Expect there to be less 'disenfranchisement' as there will be little tolerance for it with anticipation of potential problems and remedies in place.

The Moon moves on then, to complete a sextile (helping) aspect with Mars (action, energy) at 21* Scorpio. This is also an interesting aspect, as Mars here is in hard aspect (square) Neptune which is stationary retrograde for two days leading into and after election day. This may be an indicator of attempts at fraud during the election. There may be some delays and recounts going on, or voting processes interrupted in some areas. The passage of the Moon here should shed light on this, and serve to break this energy up. This should not be a significant factor in this election.

After the voting ends, the Moon moves on, and by 10:25 PM EST will conjunct Obama's Jupiter at 00* 52 Aquarius, and then a few hours later, McCain's natal moon at 3*02 Aquarius. Obama first and McCain runner up?

Whoever comes out on top (and all indicators seem to point to Barack Obama), this will be a definite turning point, and we should 'get back' to that grid of possible futures which is our true destiny.

I'll leave you with this from Joe Biden on the campaign trail:

'It's time for us, together, to get back up. You are ready to get up. Let's get up and take back the country we love".
