Happy Election Day! And Loy Krathong!

A Full Moon Eclipse Indicates a Period of Redemption

I love holidays. As best I can tell, they can be categorized in one of four ways:

1. There are absolute date holidays. We all know these as Christmas (December 25), New Year’s (January 1), Valentines Day (February 14), Halloween (October 31) or Songkran (April 13). The holiday occurs on that day, period. Now there is a subcategory on some of these involving an absolute date which, if it it falls on a weekend, means government work won’t be done around that time. I know these public servants do so much already. Give them a break!

2. Then there are days of the week government proclaimed holidays in a given month. In the USA the most known are the Monday Holidays of MLK Day, President’s Day, Memorial Day and Labor Day. There’s also the Sunday Holidays of Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, plus the Thursday Holiday of Thanksgiving. Election Day is really confusing for me. Why is it on the first Tuesday of November? Wouldn’t this have meant it happened on November 2? Is that some sort of Halloween hangover, All Saint’s or All Soul’s Day bias? It turns out yes:

   1. “The reason that election day was specified as the Tuesday “after the first Monday” was to prevent it from falling on November 1. That day was considered unfavorable because some Christians observed it as All Saints’ Day and also because merchants typically took the first day of the month to settle their books for the previous month”.

      Thailand typically holds elections on Sundays, by the way.

3. Less known to the Western world is the lunar holidays. These are those that fall on a full moon in a given month, say. These include Chinese New Year (which falls on the second new moon after winter solstice) and Loy Krathong (which falls on the 12th harvest full moon).

4. There’s a funny fourth category that involves a holiday which is both lunar (feminine) and gregorian (masculine) in its aspects. It is something that must be on a certain day of the week, after say a full moon on the equinox The most obvious example of this in the Western World is Easter Sunday, which is the first Sunday after the full moon of the spring equinox.

5. There should be a fifth category for holidays regarding time zone differences. This is mighty important to astrologers but not much of anyone else. This comes up most commonly with birthday charts.

6. I’m curious if anyone can find me a holiday, probably practiced by the ancients, which combines numerology, lunar, and days of the week aspects. In short a holiday that only happens if there is a full moon on the 13th of November which is also on a Friday, say. By its definition such a holiday would not be annual, occurring only once every few decades or so. But I am curious!

I decided to read Susan Mller’s astrologyzone for Pisces for the month of November. It’ a crazy month:

“You are entering a chaotic, difficult first half of November due to a full moon lunar eclipse in Taurus on November 8 under siege by a rogue Uranus. This planet rules all things unexpected and will conjoin the full moon and directly oppose the Sun, Venus, and Mercury. Having so many heavenly bodies being confronted by Uranus may set off alarms in several parts of your life.”

So election day in the USA is conjoined by a difficult full moon lunar eclipse. It is in Taurus at 16 degrees, indicating a period of redemption. Susan Miller is a Pisces, as am I. I’ve read her astrology for years and she is pretty blue check. I suspect her ex husband who “died suddenly” in 2021 might have been one of those jab deaths. So I read my November forecast from her vantage point.

“As you enter November, a tough eclipse is barreling our way, due November 8, and coming as a total eclipse of the moon (lunar eclipse) in Taurus, 16 degrees. It is going to be very volatile, so I need you not to take any assertive action on that date or any days even near November 8. In all eclipses, it is fine to respond—but not to initiate. That is, don’t be the aggressor or the applicant at that time, simply slowly respond to others.”

I think it’s a reckoning in a good way. I’ve read on Substack some of the best research out there anywhere. I think it becomes harder to steal elections when there is no popular support for doing so. This monstrous facade is becoming more difficult and expensive to maintain.

Why shouldn’t we have free and fair elections? They seem able to track every last cent on everything else:

Here’s hoping for good surprises…
