Weekly Horoscope: Some Crazy Astrological Happenings Fall On Tuesday's Election Day

For one thing, the moon's North Node, aka, the "cosmic destiny point," leaves Leo's gilded palace and decamps to Cancer's watery hearth until May 5, 2020. As the sign that rules families, domestic affairs, and the divine feminine, the world's "sensitivity chip" may finally be reinstalled—especially after a year-plus of ego-trips, elitism, and tempestuous Twitter wars (the shadow side of the Leo North Node). Since Cancer is an insular sign, border policies may become stricter in many countries but perhaps kinder to those who are let in to unfamiliar places and spaces.

But wait...there's more: "Power to the people" Uranus—whose radical style has been undeniably cramped since shifting into Taurus this past May 15—retreats into combative Aries from Tuesday until March 6, 2018, which could fire up activists AND autocrats alike. This four-month transit is Uranus' final lap through the Ram's realm for another 80-plus years. From March 11, 2011, until May 15, 2018, the side-spinning planet tour up the political landscape, bringing major awakenings and outcries around the globe: the Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter and the Women's March, to name a few. We also saw the emergence of some scary factions like ISIS and the alt-right. With game-changer Uranus retrograde in Aries until January 6, 2019, then direct until March 6, we may see another surge of "take it to the streets" protests and a demand for marginalized voices to REALLY be heard...a culmination of the last eight years or revolutionary efforts that have played out on the world stage.

And if that wasn't enough to make your head spin, Wednesday brings a new moon in Scorpio, riling up everyone's desire to give our lives a sexy and extreme makeover. This is also the final day of truth-seeking Jupiter's 13-month tour through Scorpio, a time that revived the #MeToo movement and brought issues of sexual harassment and abuse into the headlines like never before.

THEN, on Thursday, November 8, get ready for a heavenly homecoming party as Jupiter returns to its home sign of Sagittarius until December 2, 2019, its first visit here in over a decade! (The last sojourn was December 2007 to January 2009.) This bridge-building cycle could bring back the love between warring factions and help to foster open dialogues between cultures and socioeconomic groups. While the North Node in Cancer may evoke a nationalist mindset, Jupiter in Sagittarius will call for globalist thinking. If ever there were a time that the world needed to come together—if only to preserve the planet itself(!)—it is here and now.
