The Saga of the Trumps: Fred Sr., Donald, and Fred Jr.
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 patriarchy.
The natal chart of Fred Sr. is shown below. The Ascendant is not known because we do not know the exact birth time. There is a little uncertainty about the position of the Moon, but the rest is correct.
Mars is conjunct Uranus and opposite Pluto. This indicates a great deal of ruthlessness (Mars-Pluto) and of doing whatever it takes (Mars-Uranus) to achieve goals. Capricorn is about your status in the world and how you fit into the social structures. It is an Earth sign, which means that it deals with everyday realities, in this case real estate. The energy of these three planets is directed toward the Moon by a T-square, which relates to the family. The pressures of these three planets would be felt by the family. Fred Sr. wanted his sons to be "killers", to do whatever it took to amass more wealth and prestige for the family. The Grand Trine in Air signs indicates that Fred Sr. found it easy to plan and conceptualize his moves.
With Donald J. Trump Fred Sr.'s ambitions fell on fertile ground. Donald with his Mars conjunct Ascendant in Leo was someone who wanted to be noticed, to be admired and envied.
Donald's chart is shown below. We know the exact birth time.
Leo is the sign of the king, someone who wants to lord over others. Donald's Sun, Uranus and North Node in the Tenth House and reinforced by a trine to Jupiter, indicate someone who wanted to be prominent in the world. Donald's brand of narcissism mashed with Fred Sr.'s patriarchal ambitions. Donald was making the family famous. But unlike Fred Sr.'s dream of fortune which was grounded in reality, Donald's dreams were clouded by Mercury-Neptune, which in the end resulted in numerous bankruptcies and failures. Donald could not keep his dreams grounded, and his presidency is experiencing the same fate. The physical, emotional and financial pain he is causing is staggering, yet he is allowed to skate away free, taking no responsibility for his failures. It will only get worse.
Fred Trump Jr.'s Mars could not be more different from those of his father and brother. Fred Jr.'s chart is shown below. The Ascendant is not known.
Mars in Virgo is about duty, diligence and service to others. This is totally alien to Fred Sr. and Donald's drives for family wealth and personal glory. Fred Jr.'s Mars is conjunct Neptune, a planet which is other worldly and not into worldly ambitions. This effect is increased by the quincunx to Jupiter. At its best its concerns are those of the spirit. Unfortunately, this can also manifest as escapism and addiction. If Fred Jr.'s Moon was actually in Cancer (because we do not know the exact birth time) he would have been even more emotionally sensitive, especially when it came to being accepted by his family. Mary L. Trump tells us that he was tormented by Donald who targeted his sensitivity. A man like Fred Jr. could not find understanding, respect or acceptance in his family. He was not a "killer" who could exploit others' weaknesses. He could not fit into the family's ambitions and he was made to suffer for it. Luckily he had a daughter, Mary, who has the sensitivity and empathy to appreciate who he was.
We as a country (USA) are faced with a choice to be for the cruelty of Donald J. Trump or to take a more compassionate direction.
