Astrology and Politics: How Millennials and Gen Z Voters Are Turning to the Stars for Hope in the 2024 Election

As the 2024 presidential election draws near, a growing number of millennials and Gen Z voters are finding solace in astrology. According to a Harris Poll released in February, a majority of Americans find comfort and relief in astrology, with nearly all Americans knowing their astrological sign.

Rebecca Rivera, a 24-year-old Leo Sun, is one of many young voters who have turned to astrology to better understand themselves and the world around them. After stumbling upon an astrologer reading presidential candidates’ charts on TikTok, Rivera found hope in the stars for the outcome of the upcoming election.

Astrologers like Renée Watt in Portland, Oregon, believe that astrology provides voters with an alternative way to prepare themselves and find hope amidst a tense political climate. With the divisive 2016 election, the isolating COVID-19 pandemic, and the current political turmoil, astrology offers a sense of guidance and understanding for many young voters.

While astrology has a long history of being intertwined with politics, its current role is more focused on helping voters cope with and understand the complexities of the political landscape. Leading astrologers like Sarah Potter in New York see the 2024 election as a powerful moment for people to seek knowledge and guidance wherever they can find it.

Astrologers are also looking to the stars to predict the outcome of the election. Catherine Urban, a professional astrologer in Cleveland, Ohio, has been forecasting Vice President Kamala Harris’ rise in politics for years. Harris, with her Gemini sun, is facing off against former President Donald Trump, who also has Gemini in his chart. Both candidates have lucky energy surrounding them this year, according to astrologers.

As the election approaches, voters like Rivera are finding hope and inspiration in the candidates themselves. While astrology may not definitively predict the outcome of the election, for many young voters, it provides a sense of comfort and guidance in uncertain times.

In a year marked by unprecedented challenges and divisions, astrology offers a unique perspective for voters seeking meaning and direction in the political landscape. Whether it’s written in the stars or not, for many young voters, astrology provides a sense of hope and clarity as they navigate the complexities of the 2024 election.
