Inauguration 2021 and The Inauguration of Rutherford B. Hayes
by Jude Cowell
By now you're familiar with the controversial, contentious Election of 1876 so let's not belabor its points except to observe that the 2020 Election is proving to be full of controversy and contentiousness as well. Why, it's almost as if history is doing that rhyming thing it very often does. Similar conditions, past and present, suggest that there may be cosmic time links between the two elections: November 7, 1876 and November 3, 2020, plus, between Inauguration 1877 (private oath of office taken in the White House Red Room on March 3, 1877, public oath taken Monday March 5, 1877) and Inauguration 2021 (January 20th).
So as you see, below is a rather messy hand-drawn Horoscope with the 1877 Inauguration, center, in pink, and Inauguration 2021 planets penned around the outside (highlighted in green).

As for cosmic time links between 1877 and 2021 there are several that I won't bore you with, dear reader. Besides, you see the major link near the bottom of the chart in 4th house: the Prenatal Solar Eclipse ('PE') of Inauguration 1877 in the 4 South Saros Series - and thing is, a 4 South eclipse repeats on December 14, 2020 @23Sag08, the day Electoral College 2020 is scheduled to cast their votes for Biden or for Trump. Then for history rhyming in 2020/2021 and echoing from way back in 1876/1877, we should consider that the contentious 1876 Election (with Sun Scorpio-Moon Leo), well-known for its turbulence, was finally resolved by congressional committee in favor of Republican Mr. Hayes - a committee was formed because of strong accusations against the Electoral College electors - of fraud.
Hints that the US Congress may get involved with the 2020 Election - well, I know you've heard of the possibility and how this might play out and if so, that's one echo from the Hayes era right there.
Plus, social turbulence we already have and few people expect a quick result on Election Night 2020 although who can say at this point? Numbers 'too big to rig' at voting booths across the land could speed up outcomes and yet we know, or perhaps only sense, that election shenanigans, even fraud, may have occurred, and that, with our country's future on the line. Voter suppression tactics by the GOP have been a contentious discussion topic for years, gerrymandering is, or should be, a scandal, interference by foreign actors is nothing new, slowing down mail delivery, and a variety of other tricks must be navigated just to cast our votes. Plus, a deadly virus to make voting risky for life and limb.
Now as you know, the 1877 Oath/s of Office had to be taken under tight security which suggests threats of violence against Mr. Hayes. And with the explosive, violent Mars-Uranus Conjunction of January 20, 2021, yet another potential cosmic time link with 1877 could be argued.
Still, I shall hope for an undisturbed Inauguration 2021 based on clear election results, if not right away, then perhaps by the time voting planet Mercury (turning Direct on November 3rd at 12:49 pm ET) reaches its shadow degree on November 19th and moves speedily forward through the rest of fairness-loving Libra into Scorpio, the sign of regeneration.

View the natal horoscope of Rutherford B. Hayes and here's the Text of his 1877 Inaugural Address in which Hayes offered what has become his most well known quote, "He serves his party best who serves his country best." Tragically for the American people, this is a slogan the Republican Party no longer heeds in 2020.
