Astrological Research Findings

Donald J. Trump's dream for America could not be more different from that of Martin Luther King. Trump's dream is one of separation, exclusion, intolerance and pain and persecution of those who do not fit the mold. Trump's dream is that of white supremacy. He screams "Law and order" while peaceful protesters are gassed and mauled so he can pose with a Bible. In 2016 Trump promised his base a "beautiful wall" and other "beautiful" visions. The reality is children in cages, persecution of immigrants, police brutality and now over 120,000 dead of Covid-19. Astrologically, Trump's dream rises from the tight square of his Mercury to Neptune. He is good at articulating (Mercury) his vision (Neptune). His vision is that of exclusion. With his natal Mercury, Venus, and Saturn in Cancer Trump is very clannish. Cancer is the sign of family and exclusion of those who are not considered family. Trump is driven by these personal unconscious forces...

When Trump confronts a formidable enemy he folds. He folded to Putin and to Kim Jong un. He folded to Coronavirus and the virus is advancing fast. Now it broke into the White House fortress and Trump is panicking. People should realize that he is a self-absorbed coward and far from a "stable genius". Who would contemplate using bleach and UV light on humans? The ignorance is staggering. Yet, he has the full-throated support of the Republican Party. What gives? Can we explain the madness? Astrologically, the US is undergoing a Pluto return. When the US declared independence in 1776 it had to contend with Mad King George III. Now we have to contend with the madness of Donald Trump. The country has to emerge on a different path to survive. The state, as we have it with Donald Trump, is failing miserably. The Pluto in Capricorn in conjunction to Saturn means that the reactionary forces in power are constricting (Saturn) the state to the breaking point (Pluto). Trump...

Astrologically, the transiting Mars, currently at 22 degrees Aquarius (May 1, 2020), is fast approaching the exact opposition to Trump's natal Mars at 26 degrees Leo and to his Ascendant at 29 degrees Leo. The trigger-happy Trump is very likely to attack, find a scapegoat, possibly China. The exact for Mars will be on May 8, 2020 and for the Ascendant on May 11, 2020. The chart for Trump natal planets and transits for May 8, 2020 are shown below: Previously, when transiting Mars was in conjunction to Trump's natal Mars he attacked immigrants, bold eagles and fired Peter Strzok, all rather easy targets. When transiting Mars touched Trump's Pluto in 2019 he targeted Democratic congresswomen at a MAGA rally with his supporters threatening to "Send her back". With transiting Mars in opposition to Trump's natal Mars and Ascendant, and with transiting Jupiter in quincunx to the same planets, Trump is likely to attack someone he can label as an enemy. With hi...

We are disappointed daily by Donald J. Trump. There is no evidence of humanity or reason. We are left with the stark realization that Trump is just an animal in human form. There is no great strategy to his behavior, as some strive to find. He is living for what feels good in the moment. He lashes out when he is questioned and challenged. He says what makes him look good in the moment. Truth does not matter. Trump's appeal is to people's baser instincts: selfishness, racism, greed. We should remember that he ran for presidency as a vanity project. He let it all hang out, which some people thought was genuine and just what the country needed. But, he never ran to help other people. It was all about attention getting and parading in front of cameras. Now we are living with the appalling realization that he will let tens of thousands die because he sees no benefit to himself in helping them. He gets perverse pleasure out of the pain people who dislike him are suffering. Covid-19...

Yes, we are living in strange times. Perhaps the strangest of all are the leaders we "elected". Is it all a cruel joke? And perpetrated by whom or for whom? These are perplexing questions. The tragedy is that many more lives will be lost because of these misguided leaders. Trump is attempting to weaponize the Coronavirus pandemic to deflect from his ineptness. He is throwing the blame on Democratic governors, WHO, Obama administration, scientists, health care workers stealing supplies, the Chinese, and whoever else he can find. He is extracting praise for his performance from the desperate governors. He is seeing to it that shortages are not in red states and that his base is not too disturbed by mitigation measures. Trump's news conferences are hardly more than self-promotions. They must be music to the ears of those who love what he stands for. In this age of Trump America is being confronted with a question of its identity. More than just stirring ...

It was recently reported that Trump averaged 18 non-true statements a day in 2018. It would be very hard to find a public figure who lied more. Trump is washing us with a giant tsunami of lies. What, then, makes him such a prolific liar?   Trump's natal chart is shown below. Note the aspects of Mercury, Neptune and Eris.                                                  I have come to believe that aspects with the dwarf planet Eris show which energies will manifest most in people's lives. Eris is in the energetic and active Fire sign of Aries. In Donald Trump's chart Eris is touching his Neptune and Mercury, as 1 degree opposition and 2 degree square respectively. Trump's Mercury is square his Neptune, which probably indicates that his thinking is foggy at best, and deceptive at worst. Truth and lies are one and the same to him. He does not se...
