I donīt think though that a political orientation can be seen in the signs of a chart. I think what rather can be seen how you communicate your political views, not the views themselves.

BTW I am slightly more tilted to Authoritiarian (0.08 - lol, exactly on the line, I am "cultural liberal" though, whatever that means)

Sun in Sag
ASC in Sag conj. Mars-Neptune
Moon in Aqua

9th house has Leo on the cusp, Virgo intercepted, Sun is conjunct Mercury in Sag in 1st house.

I was hoping the quiz would explain why I fit this result, but it didn't. I am left ignorant and without knowledge of my own political affiliation.

... agrees generally with http://politicalcompass.org/...

I won't make any correlates to factors in my birth chart because my politics has shifted from far right/authoritarian as a young voter raised in a fundamentalist household to leftist, because I have taken the time to be better informed and listen to those with different backgrounds and views than mine.

In no way does your birth chart set your politics in cement. Period. Politics is a function of learning and democratic interaction.

While I can speculate on the how and why my chart INDIRECTLY contributes to that (upbringing and life experiences have far more to do with this directly than astrology), I just don't feel like it. But interesting enough, no matter how my ideology changes, the reasons I give for it continue to be what my Libra Saturn would say.

But I'll do it, because I'm bored.

Far left Social Libertarian.

Left: 7.62
Libertarian: 4.16

Please excuse my tone. Tr Sun is hitting my Pluto/Saturn square, and I'm kind of itchy.

It's probably Uranus that lends itself to my leftist ways, and my tendency to not feel the need to butt into the affairs of other countries unless it appears absolutely necessary.

Edit.
Probably both Neptune and Uranus at play here.

I rarely vote. If I do, it's because a candidate impressed me with their character and integrity. I do extensive research before deciding that...personality isn't enough (which is why I didn't vote for Obama.)

Also there has to be a spiritual dimension in order for me to be impressed.

Basically I don't like politics, it's usually more depressing than interesting, and altogether so corrupt it makes me kinda sick.

I guess my air aspects what to go left, but my earth aspects want to go right.

I'm really in the middle. I try to see the big picture on things....but its a complicated world in the end.

I try to refrain from talking about politics or religion in public places. Only around people I know or already know what there political opinions are.

Say anything regarding religion or politics and your bound to get a reaction. Don't add fuel to the fire unless you have to.

Lol, I dare anyone who comments on the Global Unity forum to take this quiz.

My result is "left social moderate". I should be pretty conservative with my Cancer Sun-Mercury, 4th house Moon and my Taurus Mars, but no I'm actually pretty liberal. I would think most liberal lefties have airy charts, especially strong Aqua, but then again, I don't have any air in my chart...
I think it's my Mars trine Uranus that makes me rebel against traditional conventions. Draco Lilith on my MC may contribute to this as well.

Ok you can have very conservative values and be very rebellious; rebelliousness is not unique to liberals definitely . Like a liberal oppressing the right to bear arms and a conservative rebelling against that oppression so that we dont end up in a world were only criminals or men in uniform with power that can be abused are the only ones carrying. Its a fact that parts of the world were everyone carries and have citizens taught to carry have extremely low crime rate, there is good reason for that. Not to mention that when you make things illegal all it does is create a black market.

Adam Kokesh is an activist and anarcho capitalist who is very conservative who envisions a world with no government but a different type of system in place. He is an aquarius, my husband has similar views to Adam Kokesh and he has Uranus conjunct his Mars and DC angle all extremely tightly. He also has venus in the 4th squaring Mars-Uranus-DC. Both quite the non conformists and there is nothing mainstream about them and both want to live off grid; to me that is rebellious but in a 'right' type of way.

An example of this would be a boy I knew raised by a right wing extremist who thought he'd live to see when the Antichrist tried chipping people with 666 which is why he lived in the sticks with some other survivalists, and off the grid (and homeschooled his son, ordering homeschool lesson plans from an extremist fringe group that included notions that the entire universe was only a few thousand years old).

He joined our group (homeschooled and unschooled kids), at least until his father realized we (and the two primary adults who were helping us) didn't subscribe to his extreme religious and political beliefs. In that time the boy made use of the library (which is where our group met, but we became friends and met elsewhere as well) and came up with arguments against his father's beliefs that represented much more moderate views, and came to accept the theory of evolution as making a lot more sense than Creationism. Ironically, I offered him theories in which humans could still be created (featuring extraterrestrials, though more for fun to play with the idea) but he said he'd need strong evidence to believe something like that.

Eventually, he'd join the US Army (more to get away from his father, but his father thought the government was evil, including its military). So I'd say he was moderate...and rebellious, if only from his perspective where the majority he was exposed to growing up was like his father (as opposed to going to public school, to the mall with kids, etc), and then his making a conscious decision to make use of the library to question everything he'd been taught and come to different conclusions.

Most of the time, I don't talk politics, but I got caught up in something tonight. I was reminded of why I don't talk about it: people, even those who are supposedly on the same side, dismiss each other and don't listen to their concerns.

Oh, I keep forgetting to add astrology.
I don't know: Uranus all over the place, maybe. 6th house Sun in Aries, is probably part of me that likes Bernie so much.

Moon conjunct Venus, wants people to be nice, which is never going to happen in politics.

you`re pointing out something important, as the social/ cultural/ familial background really will determine if you are considered rebellious or not.

In a society where people living together without getting married is the norm, someone who gets married will be considered rebellious (and possibly showing some Uranus-signatures ).
While in societies where marriages are the norm, anyone living with someone without being married will fall out of the norm.

I think that, in the US, people are generally becoming less one thing or the other, and seem to be consistently leaning towards a more healthy mix of interests and beliefs.

Astrologically it's my mutable T-square with Uranus Virgo/10th (freedom) opposing Saturn sR Picses/4th (authority, but stationed retrograde, so waining) square Mercury Gemini/8th (thought, communication) conjunct vertex (makes it a subject I think/care about) Pluto in the 11th, widely aspecting all three gives it all a punch.

That's where I was when I took the test a few years ago. I may have changed and don't want to take the test again.

But I have the same t-square:
Mercury-Saturn-Uranus

Pluto in the 3H on the Mercury/Mars midpoint for punch

He's pretty cute, too

It's been so long since I followed anything he was doing. Didn't he run for some kind of office years ago? I might've given to his campaign. But then he protested at the Lincoln Memorial and got arrested for dancing ("What? I can't dance here??") and I lost respect for him over that.

I still like investigative journalist Ben Swann, who looks like a politician and would make a great one, I think. But I don't know.
