I believe all Souls are Equal thus nobody has any moral right to be authoritative over another human being in any part of the world.
Knowledge of Karma combined with Consensus, Empathy and a little bit of sacrifice are the only way forward for any Nation or even Civilization for that matter.

I don't really know what in a chart points to political views. I've actually known a lot of conservative Geminis, which is strange because that's the last sign that I'd think would be conservative. I've also known a lot of Capricorn liberals, though most of the Cappie liberals that I know are also atheist, so there could be a connection: most atheists that I know are liberals, though not all. I know a few moderates, too, who are atheist.

Libras that I know tend to be liberal, but I did know one very conservative Libra. However, she was seldom obnoxious about her views: I only recall one time when she got really irritating about an issue, but that was a once-in-a-blue-moon thing.

A lot of Virgos that I know are moderate and liberal.

Most Sags that I know are liberals. I only can think of one who's conservative, but that one is married to a very strong liberal, and has been starting to lean that way.

I haven't seen a strong sway either way with other signs; people that I know of other signs are pretty evenly split.

In favor of giving more power to the states. The fed govt spends recklessly and on the wrong projects, but those specific projects that I am against funding so haphazardly are housed both on the liberal and conservative sides of the street. Lean liberal on social issues, gay marriage rights, drug/adult prostitution legalization. The govt needs to fix its own problems first before becoming concerned with affairs of other countries. The govt is bloated and run inefficiently at all levels; am angered with simple bureaucrats as much as with those who hold higher offices. There are systems that need to be overhauled; of those I care most about the criminal justice system, after that, education. Pisces/Capricorn/Leo. Nothing in H9/H10/H11. Dominant sign, Libra - Dominant planet, Pluto. Mercury in Aquarius.

My politics has changed almost by complete reversal since I first started voting 24 years ago: from very conservative/libertarian with a very anti-government sentiment, friendly to Ronald Reagan to a highly progressive visionary Communitarian friendly to Barack Obama.

Obviously you can see the personal caution, thus conservative tendencies, innate in my birth chart, but I have become what some would term 'ultra-liberal' - with the important exception that I am local-centric as many conservatives claim to be.

Started voting age:
Registered Republican, voted for Pat Buchanan in 1988 primaries. Moral majority religious conservative, anti-abortion, anti-tax, anti-drug, anti-gay, anti-liberal; inheritor of the racial prejudice inherent in the conservative politics of those around me; untested believer in capitalism; and unwitting supporter of policies of American exceptionalist attitudes in U.S. foreign policy. Closed- & simple-minded and naive.

Now (age 42):
Registered Democrat, voted for Obama and will again. Progressive. Communitarian: local-centric; taxes are how we fund a civilized society; anti-authoritarian; anti-pollution; against the 'drug war'; for marriage equality and adoption rights for homosexual couples; for the principle of affirmative action; for reparations and return of lands to autonomous Native Peoples; for ecological accountability in industry; capitalism is nearly as unbalanced as communism; greed is the national vice. Complex, subtle, creative, in constant dialogue and development.

The arc of a person's political development is a reflection of their personal growth potential and actualization. Potential is greatest when there is a long-term basis of experience of life on earth (past lives, old soul). Actualization has to do with how your spiritual development has come along and how you allow this to form your politics. Long-term fixed attitudes are evidence of no growth in your understanding of society.

As a teenager I dabbled in libertarianism but they were too anti abortion/anti feminism for my tastes. I still love John Stuart Mill.

Each region has a "poltical set value" it doesn't matter what polices or views the party is, there is an established value in that region.

I'd love to compare natal charts of different places and when they were established, then do a composite chart of the region and the people that live there.

Wouldn't a chart for Detroit, indicate economic hardships? then wouldn't obstacles be indicated in some of the natal charts of some of the residents living in Detroit?, because of the hardship there would be more of a tendency to vote to the left.

I don't mean to put Detroit down for anyone that lives there, its just being used as an example.

Detroit wasn't always sh*tty though. One would have to look at solar arcs.

I live in Richmond VA and am very very liberal lol (so are my friends). There are a lot of anarchists here because the culture of the city is very DIY, which also attracts oogles, most of whom identify as anarchist, despite it being the historic capitol of the Confederacy. Rebellion is an underlying theme here, I think.

I have been thinking of that and how Aquarian energies would play with that. Although obviously, the humanitarian aspect has a heavy hand in it (i.e. more liberal) Aquarians are also contrary, so if one were raised by strong liberals or were around liberal ideas, they could have a tendency to go the other way, and vice versa. Just a thought.

9th house planets = uranus (retrograde) means I'm about going against the grain.
My 9th house ruler is libra which means that I'm all about fairness.

Sun trine uranus orb less than 1 degree
Uranus trine saturn massive orb however so the effect is severly muted.

Also have wide orb squares from mars and mercury.

My venus (2nd house) is wide orb opposition to pluto conjunction to jupiter and jupiter is tight org sextile to mars.

What does it all mean?

I'm an ultra conservative. I'm pro business, pro trade, pro markets and pro prosperity.

I'm not a Republican and I despise the Republican party. They are nothing but tax, regulate and spend. I don't like Mitt, and I didn't vote for McCain or Bush 43 or Bush 41, even though I did participate in a few fund raising events. Those guys are far too liberal for me.

1) Most of what we hear about what is going on in the government is spin and lies.

^ That is my 3H Pluto speaking.

2) What's actually happening is, America is entering a phase of increasing tyranny as the military-industrial-surveillance complex encompasses America as a battleground, and we move further into the New American Century. 30,000 drones over America by 2020, possibility of re-education camps, TSA VIPR teams on the road already in several states, pulling cars over and frisking passengers like the Nazis did. This is in addition to what the US military and paramilitary forces are doing to innocent people in other countries.

^ 8H Pisces moon is ruling my 12H; attuned to grim realities.

3) With that being said my top wish would be, that people might turn off the television and become truly educated (as opposed to indoctrinated by a controlled media) before we get any further into this nightmare empire.

4) Obama and Romney are like the same person in two bodies: they both want endless war, and their social agenda is almost identical. The left/right paradigm is like a sports game deliberately played up by the media to keep people infighting and ignorant of what is actually going on.

I don't mean to offend anybody. My viewpoint is the product of extensive reading in politics and current affairs.

^ Cap sun, Aquarius Mercury

Although it should be noted that Sarah Palin has a huge Aqua stellium with Uranus opposing Sun so. BUT she is hugely afraid of authoritarianism.

I agree, it's all theater. Do you really think they'll be another American Century, though?

A villiage/town/city is a reflection of the people that live there and there culture, values and politics.

If I may recall there was an old phrase at one time called "all artists move to pairs", obviously the politics would revolve around
it and how the artists think.

Now, a resident may live there for employment reasons, but not fully agree with the politics of the location.
Once there employment is completed that resident may leave.

I gather you work in the financial sector or in a related field. My question for you is if not for employment reasons would you actually stay there?

Sticking with the topic I have strong earth in my chart, so I will hold on to what I have learned when it comes to politics.

I know John Wayne was a Gemini with some strong Taurus in his chart and he was resistant to social change, some people have called him even racist.

With that said I would be cautious of a right wing extremist with strong Taurus or a Pisces that is passionate of there set ways.

Thankful, I was raised in the middle of left and right.

No one is born racist, but people can be taught to be that way. A child is Innocent the first day there born.

He was taught, I hope there wasn't any misunderstanding?

I'm not a big fan of Air/Earth combos sometimes.

It creates a bad mix sometimes. You'll have someone who is tenacious because of the earth and the air that fuels that thinking.
