SPOILER: Joe Biden is a scorpio and I’m not surprised.

Elizabeth Warren (D)

Birthday: 06/22/1949

Sun & Moon: Cancer; Taurus

What this could mean: Lizzie Warren has a sun in Cancer, which anyone could have seen coming a mile away. Cancers are strong willed, they support the underdog, they are individuals who question tradition. She can sometimes be a little too emotional, but it can be translated into passion. Her moon in Taurus is also powerful, it’s associated with commitment and trust, which is exactly what we need in a president. On the opposite side of that coin, she can sometimes be uncomfortable with surprises; something tells me the president has to deal with a lot of surprises.

Joe Biden (D)

Birthday: 11/20/1942

Sun & Moon: Scorpio; Taurus

What this could mean: So. Joe Biden is a Scorpio. I could have guessed it. Scorpios don’t like to lose, they don’t like the idea of not having power. They don’t like to apologize (even when they’ve inappropriately touched several women without consent). They can be very passionate, but not always about the right things. The moon in Taurus means he is committed, but with his alignment, Joe Biden has the potential to be consistently thoughtless, unable to adapt.

Bernie Sanders (I)

Birthday: 09/08/1941

Sun & Moon: Virgo; Aries

What this could mean: The reason Bernie is so liked among younger people isn’t because he is a socialist, it isn’t because of his policies, it’s because he’s a virgo and everyone loves virgos. Virgos are likable, and known for being “good people”. He’s smart and helpful, but can sometimes overdo things.

Lunar arians can be kind of up and down too, but are generally very caring and passionate.

Andrew Yang (D)

Birthday: 01/13/1975

Sun & Moon: Capricorn; Aquarius

What this could mean: Yang’s Capricorn sun means he can be very ambitious and iron-willed, which is a positive aspect that could make him a forceful president. However, it also implies that he has a tendency to boast the status symbol he’s created for himself. He generally needs to be needed. He needs Yang Gang more than Yang Gang needs him. An aquarius moon could signify a desire to be composed, and try not to partake in any extreme emotions. He also has the possibility to be more independent than necessary, which may not be ideal when trying to work with his (possible) future chief of staff.

Pete Buttigieg (D)

Birthday: 01/19/1982

Sun & Moon: Capricorn; Scorpio

What this could mean: Buttigieg’s sun in Capricorn causes him to be hardworking, but humble. He might be drawn to climbing up the social and political ladder, but ultimately values commitment. He questions tradition, which could be useful in a time where tradition is less valued. Even though two of Pete’s three talking points have to do with religion and the military, which are pretty traditional.

Mayor Pete’s moon in Scorpio contributes to his courage, and makes it difficult to shake him in the face of danger or stress. However, he can be needy sometimes and get attached to certain systems of beliefs that may not sit well with some. I personally believe that Chasten would make a great president, but that’s beside the point.

Cory Booker (D)

Birthday: 04/27/1969

Sun & Moon: Taurus; Virgo

What this could mean: Taurus are GROUNDED. They’re steady, hardworking, and rooted. Which makes SO much sense and explains why Cory Booker reminds everyone he’s a vegan who lives in a poor neighborhood every five minutes. I’m sure Rosario Dawson loves to have a super committed partner.

His moon in Virgo implies he’s quick to help others, which makes sense because he was seen as quite the neighborhood superhero when he was mayor. That being said, he can be fussy, without something on his mind he’ll get super bored. But I guess that’s a good thing because he’ll be busy literally all of the time if he’s president.

Julián Castro (D)

Birthday: 09/19/1974

Sun & Moon: Virgo; Scorpio

What this could mean: Virgos are arguably the best sign. They’re so smart, and helpful and they have a generally cool vibe. This makes sense, what with Castro’s trendy ‘Adios, Trump’ merch and his inclusive policies. There is rarely anything bad to say about Virgos.

His moon in Scorpio though, that could be problematic. Scorpio moons are intensely emotional, and therefore have to be self aware as not to overdo it. They’re also fiercely independent, though luckily it seems Castro is good at working with others.

Kamala Harris (D)

Birthday: 10/20/1964

Sun & Moon: Libra; Aries

What this could mean: Kamala Harris has the sun in Libra. Libras are known for being very charming, hence why she tries to make so many ~relatable~ jokes on the debate stage. They’re also really passionate about justice, explaining why she’s worked in the American Legal System. Libras don’t like confrontation though, so we may never get a real explanation of her prosecuting history. Her moon is in Aries, meaning she really will work hard in order to get the job done, whatever that job may be.

Amy Klobuchar (D)

Birthday: 05/25/1960

Sun & Moon: Gemini; Gemini

What this could mean: Oof. A double Gemini. Klobuchar’s sun in gemini alludes to her intellect and wit. She has no issue expressing herself. That being said, she can be extremely inconsistent. She carries a scattered energy that can be misleading and nonpersistent.

Her moon, also in Gemini, makes it seem as though Klobuchar is moody, and not always pleasant to be around. She is however organized, and is great with public appearances. Her presidency would be filled with uncertainty and hesitation, but she would be excellent about negotiating her way into security.

Marianne Williamson (D)

Birthday: 07/08/1952

Sun & Moon: Cancer; Aquarius

What this could mean: Willamson’s sun in cancer means that she is very in touch with both her emotions and her spirituality. She can be thoughtful and open about her life and experiences, but may be prone to oversharing and being easily offended. This might mean trouble if she is elected, as cancers tend to question tradition and head down self destructive paths.

Williamson’s moon in Aquarius speaks to her more progressive side, she can be independent and loyal to her causes. It’s a little typical for Lunar Aquarians to be a bit on the strange side, as Marianne has exhibited, but her unpredictability is never boring. Maybe she’ll look real hard into her crystal ball and find the answers to health care and poverty.

Donald Trump (R)

Birthday: 06/14/1946

Sun & Moon: Gemini; Sagittarius

What this could mean: OF COURSE Trump is a gemini. Of. Course. Geminis are unpredictable, they’re passionate but flakey. They’re opportunists and they’re not always loyal.

He has a Sagittarius moon, which is probably why he was able to win over so many people last election season. Lunar Sagittarians are likely to be enthusiastic but are known for taking too many risks. Sound familiar?
