him. Years later, in Harrison’s campaign
for the presidency, to capitalize on his
famous military exploit, the battle was
popularized in the song turned slogan
“Tippecanoe and Tyler Too”. Although
Harrison was elected in 1840, he died in
1841 shortly after his inaugural speech
in March. From that time on, over
the next 120 years, the Jupiter/Saturn
conjunctions always occurred in Earth
signs, and all of the presidents elected
during those years died in office. To
summarize: 1840 (Capricorn conjunction)
William H. Harrison died in office of
pneumonia; 1860 (Virgo conjunction)
Abraham Lincoln elected, assassinated
while in office; 1880 (Taurus conjunction)
James Garfield assassinated while in
office; 1900 (Capricorn conjunction)
McKinley assassinated while in office;
1920 (Virgo conjunction) Warren
Harding elected, died in office of
heart attack and/or possibly ptomaine
poisoning; 1940 (Taurus conjunction)
Franklin D. Roosevelt died in office of a
cerebral hemorrhage; 1960 (Capricorn
conjunction) John F. Kennedy was
assassinated while in office.
In 1980, the conjunction occurred in
an air sign (at 9 Libra) for the first time
in over 120 years. Reagan survived and
it appeared to many that the “curse”
was finally broken. However, some
argue that the Curse continued, albeit
in a different form. In 1980 (Libra
conjunction) Ronald Reagan was elected.
He survived an attempted assassination
