This election year ended with a zero, such as 2020.

---------------------------------


The name Curse of Tippecanoe (also known as Tecumseh's Curse, the Presidential Curse, Zero-Year Curse, the Twenty-Year Curse, or the Twenty-Year Presidential Jinx) is used to describe the death of Presidents of the United States in office while elected or re-elected in a year ending in "0".

---------------------------------

The following Presidents were part of the "curse":

Abraham Lincoln was the first President to be assassinated in office
William Henry Harrison (1841) (Pneumonia)
Abraham Lincoln (1861-1865, second term) (Assassinated)
James A. Garfield (1881) (Assassinated)
William McKinley (1897-1901, second term) (Assassinated)
Warren G. Harding (1921-1923) (Pneumonia)
Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933-1945, fourth term) (Brain hemorrhage)
John F. Kennedy (1961-1963) (Assassinated)

The only president who died in office without being elected in a "cursed" year was Zachary Taylor, who was elected in 1848 and died in 1850.

-------------------------------

The most recent two Presidents elected in a "zero" year survived the "curse":

Ronald Reagan is thought to have broken the curse after he survived an assassination attempt

Ronald Reagan (1981-1989) (Assassination attempt)
George W. Bush (2001-2009) (Assassination attempt and on a separate occasion choked to the point of passing out)

I remember that.

Not only a year that ends with 0, but astrologically, when Saturn and Jupiter are transiting in an earth sign, or something like that...

It was something about the elected president dying or not being able to finish his term...

Might be the Great Conjunction.

I was born close to an exact one.

With my Jupiter conjunct Saturn (Cap), it's like having Saturn on steroids.

The last one was May 31, 2000.

November 7th was the election date in 2000.

So the last one was my sister's birthday (Gemini) and this coming one is my ex-wife's birthday (Sag).

Jupiter and Saturn are getting closer, as they near their once-in-20-years conjunction on December 21, 2020. At their closest, they’ll be only 0.1 degrees apart. That’s just 1/5 of a full moon diameter. Start watching them now, and you’ll see them draw close together.

------------------------------------------

A great conjunction is a conjunction of the planets Jupiter and Saturn. Great conjunctions occur regularly (every 19.6 years, on average) due to the combined effect of Jupiter's approximately 11.86-year orbital period and Saturn's 29.5-year orbital period. The next great conjunction will occur on 21 December 2020.
