The Astrology & Human Design of Bernie Sanders in March 2025
Not the projector I expected to lead the resistance
As many are, I’ve been stewing politically for the past two months as I watch dumpster fire after dumpster fire be lit all over the federal government, vital public servants and veterans be laid off, protestors be arrested, and every ism under the sun bubble up and spill out from the stanky, stunted bowels of society.
In my most disturbed moments, I find solace in certain dissenting voices, one of which has re-emerged from my nearly distant memory. The echos of collective past hopes are finding massive current comfort and invigoration in the voice of Bernie Sanders at his most recent impromptu speaking engagements. If you’re privy, allow me to catch you up…
Many have felt the bern resurgence over the past several weeks as 83 year old Vermont Senator, Bernie Sanders, has gone rouge in red swing-states to take up a grassroots resistance effort against the current administration.
From the podium reading “RESIST OLIGARCHY,” Bernie, has been attracting crowds of nearly 5,000 a pop or more to heed the calls of resistance. His campaign message is what it’s always been. The top 1% should not hoard wealth from the 99%. Swollen gymnasiums are booming with voices of dissent from the working class American feeling the call to uprising and are disgusted about the gutting necessary social programs.
I’ve been watching this carefully as a bleeding heart liberal, myself, especially from a human design and astrological lens.
Since November, I’ve been telling everyone that there will have to be a Manifestor Type in human design to start a massive grassroots uprising. It turns out I was wrong. It’s our favorite, friendly, neighborhood democratic socialist PROJECTOR, Bernie Sanders.
I could not be more thrilled to learn that Bernie was a Projector when I initially looked at his chart a while back. Projectors are the absolute epitome of democratic energy, needing recognition and invitation to truly be of service to others. It’s quite literally impossible for them to be authoritarian. It just doesn’t work.
If you need a negative example of this, look no further at the fucking dumpster fire that is Kanye West. Each attempt to push or force his opinion backfires miserably. If you need positive one, reflect on the Obama era, a projector president favorite in recent times. We’re a pretty safe option for elected leadership.
For Bernie, his human design chart is quite simple— He is primarily open, making him exceptionally adept at feeling into the collective energies around him. However, his G Center and Will Center are defined.
This is a big deal as a projector.
The G Center gives the native a sense of love, identity, and direction in the world that is fixed throughout their life. He won’t waver. Who he was in 1960 fighting for civil rights is who he was in 2016 running for president is who is is now in 2025 leading the resistance.
Furthermore, the defined Will Center gives a projector the consistent drive for working energy that most of us don’t naturally possess. Only 12.5% of people have this definition, making a powerful placement for a politician who has an absolutely proven track record for generator-level consistency and effort.
Due to his defined centers, he has ego projected authority.
This means that when the right recognition and invitation presents itself, all he needs is the will to move in a certain direction to create a massive uprising—Early 2025 was exactly that vacuum.
According to Amy Doyle, these are the traits of the one and only channel Bernie has in his chart…
“In it’s highest expression the 51/25 Channel of Initiation shows up as:
A deep compassion for life
Empowering groups of people in gutsy ways
Artfully applying pressure for humanity to move forward and evolve
Having courage to walk your own path and leap into the unknown”
This designation is highly competitive, wants to stretch the limits of what’s possible, and empower people to go places they never gone.
As a 5/1 profile line, it’s doubly obvious that Bernie would possess the type of save the day universalist qualities of the 5-line, while he leans on the life long education and expertise of his 1-line. 5/1s have a way of becoming champions of the people given the right circumstances. He is exactly what us bleeding heart liberals have been lamenting the absence of for the past decade since his disappointing campaign dissolution prior to the 2016/2020 elections.
If you go back and look at the comment sections of old Bernie speeches, like the one where the bird landed on his podium and the whole crowd lost their shit, the sentiments are the same.
It should’ve been you, Bernie. We need you now. *to be read in Princess Leia’s voice*
And in 2025, it’s louder than ever.
This is exactly what someone with a defined Will Center needs to hear to get themselves mobilized. A worthy competitor— OLIGARCHY. A true Robinhood, nothing grinds this man’s gears like the rich amassing millions more daily through federal government contracts while the public school teacher, single mom down the road gets laid off. This is the true cost of “efficiency” under authoritarian oligarchy, and he’s on a comeback tour to shout it loudly in the swing states.
Competitiveness as a projector is sort of like having an insane, long-haul defensive strategy. It takes zen-master level patience. The problem we have with the world is we see all the shit that the rest of the types don’t. We know when something will fail miserably, and we try to tell you. Then we get bitter as fuck when nobody listens. Well, I think Bernie knew what was coming. And I think he’s been patiently waiting for the right time to strike. Instead of getting bitter, he got focused and heeded the call.
And while Bernie was taking on politics quietly in his home state of Vermont and exercise projector patience, the politics of the federal government became more and more fringy and cringey.
The Democratic Party, as a whole, (not AOC/Crockett 😘) have capitulated to centrism and their republican counterparts’ agendas over the past decade, shimmying everyone on the elected stage more and more to the right despite grown dissent for this shift amongst progressive people. And yet, the further this scoot to the right, the more our boy Bernie sat back, masked up, grumpy-faced, and ready to continue to dig his socialist heels into the oppressive establishment and support the working class.
As I’ve listened to Bernie’s speeches in various states across the mid-west, I’ve been curious how this resurgence plays out in the astrological soup of March 2025. Astrologer all over the internet have noted the intensity of both eclipses for the US and it’s leadership, as well for pressures indicating uprising and revolution.
So I got curious. I found Bernies birth chart, which unfortunately didn’t feature his houses due to a missing birth time. I set the transits to March 14, the day of the first of two eclipses this month. And there it was, my Easter Egg.
On March 14, a full moon eclipse will occur as the firsts of several in the two new signs of Pisces/Virgo. The eclipse will be exact at 23 degrees of these signs, just 1 degree away from Bernies North Node at 22 degrees of Virgo, and South node at 22 degrees of Pisces.
Having an eclipse occur 1 degree of your North Node is extremely karmic and significant. The North Node represents your dharma in this lifetime. The true work your soul aimed to accomplish and the lessons you signed up to learn, even if they’re uncomfortable. People grow into their North Nodes and it’s clear that Bernie’s soul understood the assignment.
The full moon combining energies with his North Node is like a blending of the collective unconscious emotional energy with his personal fate. No shit. We’re all feeling like we need a populist revolutionary and he re-entered the conversation no later than exactly and cosmically on time.
His North Nodes being in Virgo is also note-worthy, even though the transiting nodes are flipped from that at the moment. A Virgo North Node is a duty to bring order to chaos in this lifetime. Being a scatter-fuck was over done in past lives for these folks. They likely even carry generational patterns regarding chaos and disorder in early life.
From his sharing, we know that Bernie was raised in abject poverty and understands deeply the struggles of the working class. He made it his life’s mission to organize civically and politically to be of service to all people. So very Virgo.
Saturn is in close conjunction to the eclipse itself, but is in exact conjunction to Bernie’s South Node— another very karmic aspect. According to Authority Astrology,
“This transit often brings forth situations and circumstances that test one's sense of responsibility, discipline, and willingness to confront past patterns and limitations.
During this transit, you may experience the following:
A heightened sense of responsibility and duty
Encounters with authority figures or institutions
A need to reassess your structures and boundaries
A focus on past patterns and behaviors that need to be released
Challenges that test your discipline and commitment
Sometimes astrology is so literal it gives me pause.
At 83, he’s in his dharmic capstone project. His soul is beckoning him to rise and fulfill a contract that his higher guides orchestrated pre-birth. To help people bring organization to the chaos that surround them. To show us how it’s a civic duty to resist this chaos systematically. It’s not the time to spill out all over the floor in panic, it’s time to mobilize wisely. To remember how to be in devotion to a higher guiding principle.
Aside from what I see currently unfolding, it’s hard to say how this will unfold for Bernie or the left. But I’ll make a prediction the best I can as your friendly neighborhood astrologer.
Eclipses denote 6 months cycles and cycles that are connected to the past. This set of eclipses connects us back to late 2016, not long after his first presidential campaign ended during his North Node return. It wasn’t his time then, but perhaps it is now?
It’s like he’s on a comeback tour for the people, not for himself. And that’s why this eclipse feels so powerful for him. Saturn is imbuing him with the responsibility of a true patriarch of our times. Not one that squandered his way to the top as a con man, but one who rose in influence out of being truly of service to the very working class he came from.
I could see these rallies growing in capacity and mobilizing an authentic, democratic, peaceful resistance. Not a violent flash in the pan, leaderless uprising. It sounds a bit absurd to frame it this way, but I think the left needed an elder. We’re all so fucking disgusted and disheartened. We need someone who has quite literally incarnated to help bring order to chaos and organize the people into the direction of positive change for all.
