I have a 9th house Sun/Mercury with Jupiter in the 11th so I'm interested in politics. I identify as democratic socialist with anarchist sympathies. I have Saturn/Uranus conjunct in Sag square Venus in Pisces so I have a radical flare as well as a bleeding heart. I identify as a feminist, as in I am for the dismantling of the patriarchy and I believe that this will bring about gender equality.

My father also has a very Sag chart but he's conservative (definitely not socially, though). In his case, he's the ONLY Republican in the family (the rest of the family were either hippies or punks). He has Saturn in the 11th.

I'm a strong heavy conservative - fiscally, socially and otherwise - and have always been that way. My parents were more centrist, with my dad being center right and my mom being center. My brother is also a centerist. In a classic 2-by-2 matrix, I'm in the far upper right quadrant, implying both conservative from an economics viewpoint and authoritarian. My wife would rank further authoritarian and somewhat less conservative in a business sense.

I do not identify with any political party, there are some things I like about each one of them and some things I hate; for the most part though I would have to say that I am Liberal Democrat. This is probably due to the fact that my strongest signs/planets are Aquarius/Uranus, Libra/Venus and Capricorn/Saturn and my Ascendant is in Sagittarius. My views are very similar to Gandhi's as the compass shows.

Anyway to astrological determine the type of life experience and troubles would help figure out what a persons views are.

I know lots of people who vote for a particular party not because of policies. But because they were raised to those set views and then the next generation are raised also raised to that set value, even if the parties policies don't benefit the person voting. Its almost counter intuitive.

There are also other voters who've changed views because of life experiences.

Anyway, I'm center-left.

I think overall I have an almost balanced chart, so I can see things from an overall perspective.

I was brought up in a left wing society, so I've held to most of the left wing values.
At the present I'm living in an almost right-wing society, so I have lots of comparisons, what works and what doesn't.

Mr Gemini here has always been confronted with "both sides of the pendulum".

I would rather be interested in seeing the Geographical breakdown of all the users on lindaland. Geographical breakdown would be a more accurate and better assumption.

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.

I'm about as liberal as you can possibly get. I think that my Aquarius Mercury points to this fact, and maybe my Leo Mars to an extent. I do feel very strongly about my beliefs, and I believe that my stubbron Taurus ascendant and all of that fixed energy (Mercury, Mars, and Ascendant in Fixed signs) would point to this.

Capricorn is my dominant sign, but I've often heard it referred to as a very "conservative" sign, so that's interesting.
