Way back in 2014 on SO'W, we looked at the Democratic Party Horoscope of February 17, 1801. Carelessly, I labeled the 1801 horoscope as the Party's "natal" chart, but of course that description is for human beings, not for entities or organizations. Mah bad!
Then perhaps you may be interested in the Democrats' Horoscope used by expert astrologer Jessica Adams set for January 8, 1828 at Jefferson Hall, Portsmouth, New Hamsphire. Jessica finds that the chart coordinates with multiple significant events, plus, this is also the founding data of the Democratic Party as listed on its Wikipedia page. So this is the data used to set up the Democratic Party's Founding Horoscope, below shown in a dual image along with the Party's May 13, 1792 Horoscope (lower left) which, as you may notice, closely resembles the NYSE "Buttonwood" Horoscope:
One feature that stands out in both horoscopes is the Moon-Pluto duo of energies: conjunct in 1792 and opposed in 1828. In conjunction, the pair denotes potentials for intense emotions, emotional outbursts or upheavals - even to the point of panic or hysteria. In opposition, potentials include seeking control of others, often in a subtle or an underhanded manner which can eventually devastate relationships (A. Oken).
To Moon-Pluto Reinhold Ebertin adds: "jealousy, offended vanity or conceit" (in politics?!), and/or people who are "torn between a fanatical striving for the attainment of desired objectives and a soft-hearted sentimentality." A lack of regard for others may be evident in the behavior of some individuals with, or during, the opposition, plus, there's a possibility of illegitimate or hidden children.
Meanwhile, events of 1792 and 1828 naturally inform us concerning the issues of those days, and the duo's astrological correspondences listed above are informative as well in relation to the Democratic Party, the oldest political party in America.
And so, dear reader, I don't know about you, but I cannot and will not vote for any member of a Ku Klux Kaucus with Tr*mp as Grand Dragon pontificating over a police state of fascist persecution and feudalism.
