If the Moon's transit does not act in connection with appropriate progressions, then we have a fail in this case of the transiting Moon correlating with this significant incident.
There is no connection between the transiting Moon and anything having to do with Biden's announcement of his decision to drop out of the race.
I disagree. The transiting Moon/Pluto was tightly squaring his natal Moon. That represents an emotional conflict, a looming decision that must be made to lessen that tension.
The square to his natal Moon in the 5th house, ruling his 8th, has no connection to what must be considered a very significant moment in his career and public life (10th house).
The Moon's Placement of a PRESIDENT's natal does not have same house descriptions that you or I have. For him, the 5th/8th house meanings are much bigger, and can indicate things like the Stability of Stock Exchange, Ambassadors from Foreign countries, Other people's money, including Foreign Debt, Capacity to meet public financial obligations, the Presidential cabinet, the Public's money and financial health, etc.
So the President's 5th House Moon is automatically connected to the 10th of public life because EVERYTHING in his life is public and interconnected with the public responsibilities that he has.
At the time of this transit he was actively campaigning for re-election. A lunar square involving his natal Taurus Moon impacts his emotional state.
Neither does it have anything to do with his 9th house (politics) or 1st house (expression, putting himself forward, asserting himself).
EVERYTHING he does involves politics when he is the sitting President and is in the middle of a heated election on the world stage. IMO
That QUESTION about re-election was an ongoing issue, even before the Lunar transit. It was beginning to hit the press and social media and the talk shows---SHOULD he stand down. I'm sure his handlers were discussing it with him passionately. It's been said he was stubbornly resisting the suggestion.
So when he had the Pluto transit exactly squaring his Moon in Taurus, he probably began to question it himself. That would indicate a possibility of self doubt and uncertainty. Pluto square Moon in fixed signs and succedent houses= doubt, uncertainty, insecurities leaking through the wall of self confidence.
The Moon came through and triggered that insecurity, that self doubt, concerning his 2nd House of security and self worth challenging his 5th House of leadership, strength and energy. Did he really have enough energy, strength left to pull it off anymore?
Those are all 2nd/5th/8th houses issues. Strength of reserves, Self worth battling with one's true desires and heart, and one's wishes. Did he really want to be the President again? That square triggered his uncertainty, imo. Did he have doubts whether he could win again?
That is a 5th house concern, imo. It was a gamble, a big risk. And his 2nd and 8th described his insecurities concerning support/both financial and public. IMO
So if the Lunar transit can't be linked to some progression that does have to do with this significant career decision (which effectively ended Biden's public life) then that transit has failed to demonstrate the assertion.
I disagree. I think that Lunar square from his 2nd, with Capricorn on the cusp,[The second house is where you tend to your physical body and all that it needs to endure. ]
----- to his natal Taurus Moon, in 5th/8th, which denotes his hopes, wishes, desires need for security and love/respect, and financial comfort, and fears about the unknown future, compelled him to drop out.
