Gov Josh Shapiro June 20, 1973 (D-PA)

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

As a new generation of US politicians bubbles happily along, we discussed earlier today two Democrats whose names have cycled up into public consciousness as potential VP picks for now-VP Kamala Harris. We looked at the Eclipses of Governor Andy Beshear of Kentucky and Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona.

Another Name Simmering on The VP Hob

Now let's peek at Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's Solar Eclipse Series with its themes running in the background of his life. As it happens, Baby Shapiro was born on June 20, 1973 - between two eclipses: 11 North on January 4, 1973, and 11 South on June 30, 1973.

As you see, Josh Shapiro was born just within the two-week window of influence prior to the 11 South Eclipse of 1973 so I'll list the themes of both eclipses for your consideration. When this cosmic happenstance occurs, a blending of eclipse themes may be in evidence in the person's life, or, as eclipses in the two Series repeats (every 19.6 years), its themes may take precedence - or alternate.

1973 Eclipses of Josh Shapiro

January 4, 1973 11 North @14Capricorn themes: Suddenly changing groups through ideas or travel; the implied separation can have positive outcomes as greater commitments are made. Last 11N: 2009; next 11N: 2027.

June 30, 1973 11 South @9Cancer themes: A sudden need for reforms as old methods or ideas fail and new systems are needed to deal with events and handle issues; any blocks could be tragically or violently removed. Last 11S: 2009; next 11S: 2027.

Well, there we have it. The eclipses affecting the life of Josh Shapiro are not as lightweight as those of Andy Beshear and Mike Kelly. And of course, it could be that VP Harris will choose someone entirely different from Beshear, Kelly, or Shapiro so when we find out who that brave person is, another post concerning the chosen running mate of Kamala Harris will be necessary to complete the 2024 VP picture.

Now here's the 11 South Solar Eclipse of 2027:

VP Harris' Important Decision

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

When Joe Biden stepped down from his 2024 Campaign, he catapulted America into a new generation of politicians thereby fulfilling his early promise to be a bridge between generations! This resonates with Biden's natal Saturn (old)/Uranus (new) conjunction in Gemini (sign of youth), and interestingly, Chiron (the rainbow bridge!) has been traveling all snugged between transit Saturn and Uranus: Chiron = Saturn-Uranus - as the centaur is today. You can't make this stuff up!

And wouldn't it be amazing if the Great American Eclipse of April 8, 2024 conjunct Chiron (both @19Ari24, Aries: sign of the fearless pioneer), operative until the 8 South Eclipse manifests October 2nd @10libra, actually spotlighted for us this generational shift in US politics? For as you know, VP Kamala Harris and Grandpa Tr*mp are one generation apart which makes his nibs the oldest candidate in the race, if he can hang on until November. And why not? After all, the 2024 race has become a Prosecutor vs Perpetrator affair, so why would a lifelong fraudster want to miss that? Do you ever get the feeling that Kamala Harris has been Joe Biden's ace up his sleeve since Day One?

Meanwhile, two names of Kamala Harris' potential VP picks have floated to the top of a long list: Gov Andy Beshear (D-KY) and Sen Mark Kelly (D-AZ).

Governor Beshear speaks with what has been described as a comforting "Kentucky Blue Grass" accent and has created for himself an impressive resume of working for the people of his home state as their governor, while former astronaut Senator Kelly has a resume of service and heroism as long as anyone's arm.

Of course, these are not the only possible choices for 2024 candidate Harris' running mate but they've been mentioned and are worthy of consideration here. However, I'm actually working today to complete a different post with interruptions in my real world scheduled in a while, so let's base this brief consideration on the Solar Eclipse energies and themes that run in the background of Beshear's and Kelly's lives - the Eclipse Saros Series into which each fellow was born.

Andy Beshear November 29, 1977 Louisville, KY: 16 North October 12, 1977 @19Libra: This if the "illumination of ideas from the unconscious" eclipse inspired by the Uranus-Neptune trine of its initial elcipse. These ideas are beneficial and may be acted upon. Last 16N: 2013; next 16N: 2031.

Mark Kelly February 21, 1964 Orange, NJ: 1 South themes include being "flooded with ideas and options" that tend to have positive outcomes. Last 1S: 2018; next 1S: 2036.

And so this brief comparison between Beshear and Kelly based on their eclipses (with themes that resemble one another!) is neither for nor against either fellow as VP candidate and certainly is in no way conclusive but it does offer a small peek at Beshear and Kelly just for you, dear reader!
