Donald Trump : Enfant Terrible

Image
Mary L. Trump told Donald Trump that he has never been loved. The circumstances of his childhood were such that he missed out on the attention and love most children receive. What approval he got was from meeting his father's expectations. Fred Trump Sr. wanted his sons to be ruthless "killers" like he was. Donald seemed successful on the surface, but under the thin veneer there was a wounded child. Donald's basic nature is sensitive and vengeful. His tactic became to strike back, to hide his weakness. His early signature reveals his sensitivity. Later he replaced it with an aggressive signature. The two signatures are shown below. Astrologically, Trump's sensitivity is based on the conjunction of Venus and Saturn in Cancer in his natal chart. Saturn is the planet of limitations. Trump feels that he is not getting enough from relationships (Venus). Cancer is the sign of emotions, protectiveness and reliance on family. The lack of emotional support i...

The Saga of the Trumps: Fred Sr., Donald, and Fred Jr.

Image
We are all living with the saga of the Trump family. Our fate is directly linked to their dysfunction, now playing on a life and death level. Mary L.Trump felt a duty to warn us. She described many strange events that went into shaping Donald J. Trump. There is also the tragic life of her father, Fred Jr. which was shaped by that family. I will analyze three men in this family: Fred Sr., Donald, and Fred Jr. through their astrological charts. In Astrology the planet Mars describes how we express ourselves in the world. It reveals our level of assertion, aggression, and which values we fight for. The differences in Mars energies in these three men are particularly telling. Both Donald and Fred Jr. were exposed to the same pressures from Fred Sr., yet they responded in very different ways. Fred Sr. can be seen as the ultimate patriarch. He created a real estate empire he wanted his sons to enlarge. Fred Sr.'s Mars is in the sign of Capricorn, the sign of the father and patria...

Trump is weak

Image
Weak people don't like to acknowledge their weaknesses because they are not strong enough to withstand the truth. But if they don't acknowledge where they are weak, they can't improve. Their self-worth needs to be reinforced by other people.  We are seeing these character flaws play out catastrophically with Donald Trump. He is vain, shallow, uninformed and endlessly preoccupied with how he appears: not how most people actually see him, but how he thinks they see him. Whenever he is criticized it is "fake news". This weekend, July 4th, he again risked the lives of his followers who attended his events with no social distancing. His need for adoration leads him to appeal to the most fringe elements which are still with him. The idea of putting his face next to the great American presidents at Mt. Rushmore is beyond deluded. Trump will continue to inflame his base because they make him feel powerful. He totally depends on their love and adoration. It is a ...

Trump: Bluster and Truth

Image
Trump rolled into the White House with very inflated expectations, bouyed by his large ego, and hypersensitive to any criticism. He managed to consolidate power, especially through the aid of A.G. Barr. But, time has revealed that he is not up to the task. If we just look at the Astrological signs in his chart, we can get a pretty good idea of his limitations. His Natal Chart with transiting planets is shown below. The breakdown of signs and planets is as follows: Gemini (Sun, Uranus, North Node) - scattered attention, duplicitous, superficial, rebellious Cancer (Mercury, Venus, Saturn) - deeply immersed and protected by family, clannish Leo (Mars, Ascendant, Pluto) - aggressive, sensitive to image, inflated, "I alone can fix it." Libra (Neptune, Chiron, Jupiter) - socially astute Sagittarius (Moon) - tries various ventures but does not follow through, mythologizing Aries (Eris) - chaos and discord, prolific liar and instigator This is it folks! Ther...

Putin wins - sad for Russia

Image
Vladimir Putin just extended his rule over Russia until 2036, apparently by a wide margin. While modern Russia started with the social idealism of Lenin it quickly descended into a series of brutal dictatorships with cruel and cynical people in power. This brutal power is what Russians think of as real power and that is why Putin is so antagonistic to the liberal democracies in the West. If we look at Putin's Astrological Natal Chart we are not surprised at his position. He has all the markings of a politician, a dictator and a spy. His Chart with current transits on the outer circle is shown below. His Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Neptune are in the secretive 12th House, which means that he operates through stealth. With four planets in Libra he is socially astute and he knows how to manipulate the public. The quincunx of these four planets to Jupiter enhances their power.  Pluto in Leo on the MC and opposite North Node means that he will appear in a position of power in the...
