On This Date In History:

On November 13, 1979: Ronald Reagan announces in New York his candidacy for president. The empowering Sun is in transformational Scorpio and exactly conjunct unconventional Uranus; an influence associated with breaking free from limitations and striking out on a new path

The Sun, as ruler of Leo, represent leaders and authority figures, while Uranus, as ruler of forward-looking Aquarius (Reagan’s Sun-sign), signifies change and radical new ideas/approaches. Scorpio is also the sign that rules taxes, debt, credit, and investments.

On days when the Sun and Uranus are conjoined, we may witness a departure from the past, in terms of leadership matters as well as sudden developments.

Reagan went on to win the U.S. presidency, the following year, and ended up serving two complete terms in office from January 21, 1981 to January 21, 1989. His presidency has been termed the “Reagan Revolution” (Uranus) as it was regarded to have initiated a “political realignment” both within the U.S. and beyond in favor of his brand of conservatism and free markets.

Pioneering Mars was also strong in theatrical Leo that day, and Reagan was previously “an actor” before becoming governor of California. Mars in Leo can usher in more “colorful” and “charismatic” leadership.

The Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and the North Node were also all in practical, “no frills” Virgo, maybe helping to foster more an acceptance of a message, on the part of the public, of a more “scaled down” type of government agenda and economic philosophy.

“Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.” Ronald Reagan
