Set the Election Day star chart for Washington, D.C., at 9 a.m. Eastern Time, and we’ll see Sagittarius rising with the Moon in the constellation Sagittarius. Hello, much needed happiness! Sagittarius is an active fire sign ruled by jovial Jupiter, the sign of world affairs, philosophy, and even what some call politics. It is also a sign of optimism and laughter, a healing force and stress reliever. If you voted when the polls opened, you could feel this very positive atmosphere at the polls. Embody Sagittarius energy when high-fiving your neighbors and showing them funny memes on the voting line, even if it’s long.
In this early-morning Election Day chart, some crazy and surprising things are happening at the same time. Venus—also in Sagittarius like the Moon and rising sign in the election day chart—is in the 1st house. It opposes lucky Jupiter in your partnership house, indicating that a woman feels noticed and supported by the people in her life. Venus is trine – a positive aspect – to Chiron, the wounded healer. So our vote may feel like both our voice and our healing balm.
Just like people, countries have natal charts. One way to understand the country’s fate is to break down the United States chart (dated July 4, 1776) and overlay it with the 2024 election chart. In that chart, we see that the current position of Black Moon Lilith (a point in the Moon’s orbit that represents feminism) is in the exact same position as Saturn, which represents masculinity, in the American chart. Lilith hovers above Saturn at 14 degrees of righteous Libra and is ruled by the female planet Venus. In other words, women get excited on Election Day.

The Moon enters Capricorn in late morning (10:17 AM ET), bringing energy back to Earth—so we focus on more sober strategies for the rest of the day. Sure, we can take the early morning joy with us, but we may need to contend with longer lines and other forces holding us back. That’s why we all must make plans to vote days in advance (if possible). There’s nothing Capricorn loves more than planning (besides winning, of course).
Here’s an Election Day weather forecast you can read based on your sun or rising sign.

Gemini
Gemini, you may need a partner to discuss your voting strategy. Can you bring a friend or co-worker to vote with you, or make friends to stand in line? With the Moon entering your house of others super early, you’re not in much of a mood to go it alone, but if you go to the polls after that, you’re pushing for profound change as the Moon’s energy shifts into your transformation zone.

The Moon leaves your sister fire sign early in the morning.

You have no problem getting to the polls and crossing it off your list, plus a bunch of other errands and tasks, and time to spare.
Virgo
The Moon enters your earth sign Capricorn early on the day, allowing you to take advantage of a stable, grounded vibe. With this powerful lunar energy filling your house of pleasure, you might even be tempted to flirt with someone in line. Is this polling station a dating app?
Libra
When everything hangs in the balance, your innate pursuit of justice and balance can make you feel a little anxious and out of control. Also, with the Moon in your fourth house of home and family, you may want to ask your boss for a work-from-home day or a private day so you can stay in your own beautiful, safe space. Of course, if you’re in need of socializing, you can host an impromptu yet sophisticated dinner/watch party for your friends.
Scorpio
Scorpio, you have a lot to say about this election and voting today. With the Moon in your third house of talking, texting, and thinking, you’re thinking about all the pitfalls and potential in your head, and likely sharing a lot of those thoughts on social media. Even if you’re busy explaining to others why they need to vote too, don’t forget to vote.
Sagittarius
The Moon has been in your sign for the past few days, and if you wake up early enough on Election Day, you can drink up the last few hours of your Sagittarius Moon elixir. As the Moon moves into your second house of money, you’ll be thinking more about your bottom line and security needs, and how to vote strategically to protect them. Forget about dubious plans – what’s best for you and your family in the long run?
Capricorn
You are the most popular zodiac sign today, baby! With the Moon in your sign, you may realize that people are paying more attention to you than usual and may turn to you for advice on when, where, and how to vote—you’re known for having all the answers and how to vote. You’ve always been the boss, but today, you’re the CEO of the entire franchise.
aquarius
You always analyze ahead of time (usually too much) and you definitely have researched your votes. Being ten steps ahead of the crowd would be a good thing, and with the Moon in your twelfth house of dreams, you may feel sleepy and more inert today. If you’re voting early or by mail, don’t worry, just focus on your self-care habits. If you still have to get it done, do it early so you can use the rest of the day to take care of yourself.

Pisces, your interpersonal communication skills are strong today. When the Moon moves through your eleventh house and lights up your social skills, you’ll get your message out on social media and in front of friends. Call the group chat and share a text explaining the importance of voting (don’t worry about annoying people), and consider making a video on your way to the polls. You might even spend some time early in the morning making a few canvassing phone calls to strangers.
