Donald Trump’s Chart

 [First an announcement:  I’ve changed my year-long offer to focus on signs instead of months. In other words, right now, if you’re a Scorpio, any service you want from my website, whether for yourself or a gift for someone else born in this time frame, is half price. This will last until next summer for each sign in succession.]

The birth chart is a very flexible thing. Every time we make a choice, we change our future possibilities. For instance, if one is born with a tendency toward lying (as Donald Trump is), and you keep on doing it, then there are consequences. But, if at some time, you decided not to do it anymore, your life changes and so do the results of future possibilities in your birth chart. That is why forecasting with a chart is so difficult. An astrologer does not know what character choices anyone has made in the past (and often neither do the clients themselves, it is so subjective), so it is impossible to say what choices they’ll make in any circumstances. But the chart CAN show what the dilemma is really all about which can be very helpful in making choices.

In other words, just because your chart shows a tendency toward something, it doesn’t mean you are fated to always have that habit in your character. My teacher used to say, “Change your character, and you change your life.”  No one is “destined” to be a murderer or a thief (or anything else negative).  Otherwise, why have the Ten Commandments? Or any moral code at all?

Donald Trump has the south node of the Moon conjunct the Moon in Sagittarius and in the fourth house in the Koch house system.  Both the south node of the Moon and the Moon, itself, show past life habits that have been developed. Not only that, but the fourth house is where we find information about the subconscious, habit patterns, and family, which is where we acquire our habits, etc. Sagittarius has often been called the “hoof in mouth disease” sign…and Donald has a “habit” (fourth house and lunar emphasis) of blurting out the “truth” as he sees it at the moment. After all, he has Mercury square Neptune (undisciplined imagination), which is the signature of one who has a loose acquaintance with honesty. It is further exacerbated by the Moon being opposite Uranus and the Sun (which are only five degrees apart).  Uranus is indicative of independence in the extreme and strong individuality. Since all of this is aligning with the lunar nodes, these attributes have been there in past lives and are habitual. In other words, he does as he pleases. The Sun and Uranus are in the tenth house…career…and that would indicate independence in career. Most with that signature are self-employed.

In addition, he has Mars rising in Leo, which is aggressive, quick to anger and impulsive. Leo rising—especially with Mars rising in Leo, as well, is proud and defensive—seldom apologizing, if ever.

So far, we see extreme independence, and we’d assume confidence. HOWEVER, he also has Venus in sensitive, emotional Cancer conjunct Saturn, the planet of conflict, pain and doubt. They square Jupiter in Libra in the second house. When someone has such a conjunction, we look for the way they will compensate by finding out if the conjunction aspects anything. The square to Jupiter shows he NEEDS to compensate in order to feel he fits into society (Jupiter in Libra—the sign that needs others’ approval). Since Jupiter is in the second house, he sees the answer in being rich, and Jupiter there usually indicates wealth to some degree. But, as an aside here, he also has Neptune in the second house which is indicative of losses, poor financial judgement, and one who has a difficult time *keeping* money. Since Neptune rules the 8^th house (other peoples’ money), that is where he gets it. As an aside, Jupiter also trines Uranus tightly, which indicates a great sense of humor and enormous *luck.*

All in all, his natal chart does show a short attention span, blunt speech and spontaneity, but it is not nearly as dangerous as Hillary’s. He can change on a dime; she is rigid and will not deviate from a plan, and her chart is SO strong in that direction—no matter what time she was born, she’d almost have to become a different person to change it; I see no evidence of that.

Donald’s Forecast

I am not going to predict a winner in this contest because the chart shows how a person feels at a given time, and if Trump wins, he may not be the happiest of people when he finds out how his hands are tied by law and the “shadow government” that I believe is really running things.

His chart shows that he is not all that unhappy at the time of the election. In fact, on November 19^th, transiting Uranus is trine his Moon which would indicate exciting plans he may envision for the public as well as things going very well in his marriage. It is around December 2^nd, that he hits a brick wall, so to speak. At that time, Saturn will be opposing Uranus (“I have to do what I have to do and there is no ‘freedom’ to do as I please.”), and the progressed Moon conjoins natal Saturn= depression. Of course, since these things unfold over time, it could be manifesting right after the election.

Additionally, later in December, around the New Year, Saturn transits the Moon.  He is not a happy person at that time.  It appears it might be a private family matter, but that can be the result of a thwarting of plans (Moon rules the 11^th—goals).

The progressed MC will conjoin progressed Saturn in a little over a year, which is a disappointment in one’s public image and can be a major professional loss.

Recently, two things have happened. One, his progressed Sun changed signs and entered the low self-esteem sign of Virgo. That was about three months ago. This only happens every thirty years (a sign change, not necessarily Virgo, of course). It is a major shift. Around the same time progressed Mercury conjoined progressed Pluto, which is a deep, intense shift in thought. These really rocked his core. He is learning a lot from this campaign.

In summation, this has been a difficult race to predict because Hillary is secretive about her birth time, we don’t have a clue about Jill’s time of birth, Bernie’s was also “iffy” and the only one we have definitely is Donald’s. Usually, though, the prevailing wisdom is that Saturn is usually near the MC (which absolutely depends on the time of birth) when one becomes president because that indicates culmination of career—one’s highest attainment. Trump’s is opposite that point, and that is usually the low point of a career when one questions their basic security. After all, Trump has lost his TV show and has probably done a lot of damage to his “brand” since many hotels are removing his name. That would indicate a loss. We shall see.
