The Canadian election of 2025 is underway, with Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre as the two main contenders. Unfortunately, we don't have a birth time for either of them. We therefore have to exclude the orientation of the sky chart and the position of the moons.

It's important to remember that destiny is not inscribed in a sky that inclines but doesn't oblige. However, it's a fact that the "personal astrological climates" of each individual, the individual cycles, do seem to color everyone's life. It's one of the unsolvable mysteries before which I bow.

Take, for example, the recent resignation, in a very different context, of Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois as head of Québec Solidaire. I remember this phrase: "I'm exhausted". What do we observe in his natal chart? A major transit: Neptune conjunct Mars... Neptune = dissolution. Mars = energy.

But traditional transits don't always "speak for themselves". The passage of a planet over a mipoint is sometimes much more striking, or adds nuance to a particular event. Just like our Canadian politicians in the spotlight today, we don't know GND's birth time. Excluding angles and the Moon. Nevertheless, at the time of his announcement, Saturn was transiting the midpoint (contraction of individuality), Venus was flying over (separation), and so on.

What about Poilievre and Carney? What can we expect on election day, scheduled for April 28?

Incidentally, Carney seems to be "favored" by the "climate" in his chart. First of all, in traditional transits, Uranus is sextile to the Sun () and the Sun is sextile to Saturn (). The grand conjunction of Venus, Saturn and the North Node covers the Sun, foreshadowing a rise to power.

But more than anything else, it's Jupiter's passage over the Mars/Sun, Mars/Pluto mipoint ( ) that catches the eye. The only "shadow", if there is one, is Neptune's passage over the Mercury/Venus mipoint (). However, for Carney, this last mipoint may represent a profound realization of his aspirations, his desire to elevate his ideals in the service of society.

Carney's birth stellium in Virgo undoubtedly represents his desire to put his sense of service to good use. Mars and Pluto, coupled with Uranus while the Moon is not far away, make him a willful man, direct and pure in his intentions. His Jupiter in Taurus, a worthy symbol of the financial power of which he is capable, is already in a good sextile position with the natal Sun and thus in a very wide trine with the aforementioned stellium.

What about Poilievre? The transits don't "speak as much", which may mean nothing... It's as if the elections should have taken place... in February or March. At that time, Jupiter would have been over the Sun/Mercury conjunction (oratorical skills). On election day, Mars was over the Venus/Pluto mipoint (), just as it was in the orb of a conjunction with Jupiter. Venus is exalted in Taurus, conjunct a combative Mars. The Moon will pass over this conjunction on election night.

It's interesting to compare the protagonists' themes in relation to the Canadian sky chart. Both candidates "resonate" with the country, but in very different ways. To shorten the text, I'll use mc (for Marc Carney), pp (for Pierre Poilievre) and ca (for Canada).

Carney/Canada

mc ca : dissolution, elevation of structures

mc ca : ambivalent communication or natural transmission of canadian aspirations

mc ca : shared values of balance and elegance?

mc ca and mc ca : the ability to change destiny

Poilievre/Canada

pp ca : upheaval, rapid structural change

pp ca and pp sur : magnetism, dynamic transformation thrust

pp ca : restrictions, restructuring, conservatism

pp ca : volcano, depth, combat, major transformation.

pp ca : in tune with the people?

We can guess that the "Poilievre effect" seems "harder", more warlike. It's the image he presents of taking the country in a firmer direction. The "Carney effect" seems more inclined towards continuity, perhaps also softness and or the eternal vagueness that perhaps characterizes the country...

In short, my analysis is surely superficial. In any case, there seems to be more going on in Carney's skies than in Poilievre's. In any case, the very short time these elections represent is certainly a good opportunity to test the "mipoint theory".
