Election 2024: Sobering Stakes

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Just as during the 1964 presidential campaign between Lyndon B. Johnson and Barry Goldwater, America again faces in 2024 the prospect of a loose cannon POTUS with an itchy "finger on The Button."

Factoring in the sketchy loyalities and betraying nature of felon candidate Trump inspires a consideration of the famous "Daisy Ad" that ran on NBC only once (at appr 9:50 pm edt) and is now described as "a turning point in political and advertising history." The ad successfully turned voters away from candidate Barry Goldwater who was considered in some quarters to be "mentally unfit" for the presidency. Well, history does tend to rhyme, yes?

Now according to Wikipedia, the little blonde girl shown picking daisy petals in the ad was played by child model Monique Corzilius (m. Manuel Luis) who was born May 3, 1961 and raised in Pine Beach, NJ.

Here's a link to the Daisy Ad's Wikipedia page which includes a video of the brief TV ad itself.

So below you see a Horoscope of the Daisy Ad set for its one air date of September 7, 1964 9:50 pm est Washington DC - DC because the chart's Angles echo those of US Inauguration ceremonies. The chart is unmarked so use it as you wish. You'll note that in 1st house is Jupiter @26Tau03, a degree regularly activated these days particularly by radical zealot Uranus which conjuncts Algol of Medusa fame, a star of rage, destruction, and fanaticism:

Yet if set for NYC (because NBC), the Daisy Ad Horoscope shows 18Tau46 rising (George Washington's natal ASC), and 28Cap32 at MC which places US 1776 Pluto Rx upon the chart's Midheaven ('MC'), the Aspiration Point of public visibility; plus as you know, Pluto is the planet of nuclear power and plutonium. Meanwhile, US 1776 Mercury Rx conjuncts the ad's IC of Endings and is descriptively conjoined by 1964 Mars. This qualifies as a Mars-opposite-US-Pluto transit denoting a contest of wills, a period when attempting to change the status quo is ill-advised. As we both know, President Johnson remained in office.

Also noteworthy is that the Eclipse Series into which the 1964 campaign ad aired on TV is the 2 New North, aka, "The Tower Eclipse" (@17Can16). As it happens, this is the Prenatal Eclipse ('PE") Saros Series of VP Kamala Harris born October 20, 1964 and now the Democratic candidate for president. You may remember that a 2 New North Eclipse repeated on August 11, 2018 @18Leo41 with Uranium's totem planet, Uranus, conjunct MC when the Eclipse chart is set for Washington DC.

So whether or not The Button in 2024 is in danger of reckless activation by one prospective candidate or another, my studies tell me that the rebuilding found within the themes of all The Tower Eclipses (2 New North) is far more assured by a Kamala Harris victory on November 5, 2024 than by a manipulated "win" by a destructive, vengeful loose cannon like Mr. Trump who acts under the influence of America's enemies, and whose health seems to be failing right before our eyes.

"Now those who seek absolute power, even though they seek it to do what they regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version of heaven on earth, and let me remind you they are the very ones who always create the most hellish tyranny." - Barry Goldwater

Well said, Senator Goldwater. May both you and President Johnson R.I.P.
