Astrological Research Findings

Well, I wondered what Trump would attack when the transiting Mars was in exact conjunction to his natal Mars (August 12-13, 2019)? It turns out that he attacked immigrants and bold eagles. I was afraid he might do something drastic in foreign policy, but no, he'd rather attack those who can fight back the least. Meanwhile, he is exchanging love letters with Kim Jong un. What other nasty things have happened as Trump's planets are activated? I have previously talked about El Paso when several points on Trump's chart were activated (see previous blog: "El Paso: Echoes of Trump"). On July 17, 2019 the transiting Mars hit Trump's Pluto at 10 degrees Leo. Pluto is associated with elimination, destruction and transformation. This was the day of the MAGA rally when they started chanting :"Send her back!" This came as a response to Trump's attacks on the four congresswomen of color. Trump targeted them for elimination. The chant reverberated thro...

With Donald Trump in office the US is each day descending deeper into his insanity. His influence is getting stronger with his control over the Senate, DOJ, possibly intelligence agencies, DOD, cabinet loyalists, right wing media, etc. His base is becoming more unhinged with each rally. When horrible things happen in the world like El Paso, they do not happen by logic or reason. Their source are primitive emotions that break through civilized defenses. Trump is appealing to the unconscious. He is stoking fear and hatred of the other to incite his base. He appeals to the basest emotions. It is what inspires him. It so happens that the collective unconscious reflects the energies of the planetary bodies in our Solar System. We are primitively attuned to the energies of the planets, fixed for each of us at our time of birth. We express these energies unconsciously throughout our life, unless we take the trouble to become conscious of them. They express mostly in our attitudes toward o...

Trump has now succeeded in literally becoming what his father groomed him to be, a "killer". Trump did not pull the trigger, but he triggered a hate-filled racist man to do it for him. In the wake of the El Paso massacre we need to better understand the mind of Trump and what he is capable of doing. How far is he willing to go to save himself from going to jail? When I watched the video of Trump "condemning" violence, it was a disembodied voice delivering the speech. The message is that he does not believe what he is saying. His eyes were squinting and his face was stretched into a weird sort of grin, as if internally he was pleased. People still give him the benefit of the doubt, that he will do the morally right thing. But that will not happen. He will take them for fools again. Since we can not get Trump on a psychiatrist's couch we need to resort to more indirect techniques to understand his psyche. First, I will examine Trump's main weakness th...

It is still a mystery how Jeffrey Epstein accumulated such a large fortune and real estate holdings. Apparently, the wealthy businessman Leslie Wexner was his only client. Why did Leslie Wexner trust Epstein with his assets? What could make Wexner think that Epstein was at all like himself? Perhaps if we look at astrological charts of Epstein and Wexner we could find some clues. Epstein's noon chart is shown in the inner circle with Wexner's planets (in red) shown on the outer circle.     There are several close planetary conjunctions between these charts. I will summarize:                 Epstein                             Wexner                 Jupiter                            Uranus               Moon-Eris...

When our ancestors observed the night skies they noticed that certain points of light moved over time. These were the travelers, or the planets. Since they moved, our ancestors imagined them to be living entities. They were a constant presence over the ages, thought to be immortal and very powerful. Myths and stories about the sky wanderers emerged. They were modeled partly on human characteristics and with connections to lives on Earth. Our ancestors believed that the course of their lives were at least in part directed by these entities. In time it was noted that the positions of the planets seem to relate to certain events here on Earth. People born at the same time shared many of the same characteristics. These observations got passed on to us through Astrology. In Christianity the Star of Bethlehem is associated with the birth of Jesus. With our modern education and sensibilities it is much harder to relate to objects in the sky. We know enough Physics and Biology to not see...

Kellyanne Conway, Counselor to Donald Trump, has drawn her share of controversy. The latest was her defense of racism for Trump. She defends Trump, brushes off his outrageous behavior, and then goes further to incite more controversy. What's going on with Kellyanne's psyche? Why can't she leave Trump? Her husband's pleas do not work. Can Astrology shed some light? Her natal chart is shown below. At first glance this chart seems bewilderingly complex. There is a Water grand trine, a mystic rectangle, 2 T-squares, and 3 structures with trines and sextiles. The chart exhibits a splay pattern, which astrologer Stephanie Clement describes as follows: "They seem to be able to wiggle out of difficult situations, much to the irritation of their less agile peers." With Trump there seems to be no end of difficult situations that need wiggling out of. Is there some simpler explanation for her choices and behavior? Her chart has a very heavy emphasis on Mars...

Alan Dershowitz, a well known celebrity lawyer, inhabits the strange boundary between law and absolute freedom. He seems to push the legal system in name of freedom, often taking on very controversial cases. He was on Jeffrey Epstein's legal team which successfully helped him evade federal charges. In Epstein's defense Dershowitz went after victims' behavior in order to discredit them. He deemed the  freedom of a pedophile to be a worthy cause. Dershowitz admitted to getting a massage at Epstein's mansion, which is suspicious. Dershowitz was also involved in the defense of O.J. Simpson and Harvey Weinstein. For these men Dershowitz spared no effort, left no stone unturned. Why does Dershowitz want to help such men? Is it money or just ego: that he can pull off such legal stunts? Or is it something even more basic about his nature? Dershowitz's exact time of birth is known and an accurate astrological chart can be drawn. Let's see what clues it can give:  ...
