Astrological Research Findings

  What is the meaning of the USA Pluto return? The USA was "born" under Pluto in Capricorn in 1776. Capricorn is the sign of the father or patriarch. People with strong Capricorn influences tend to believe in order, especially as devised by society and state.  The patriarchs of 1776 were in fact our "founding fathers". The structure they set up for the country is outlined in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. As much as the founding fathers spoke of equality and justice, the society in which they lived was a far cry from that for the poor and the enslaved. Only men who owned property could vote and women had to wait until 1920. What the founding fathers set up was functionally an oligarchy of White wealthy men. These men controlled everything of consequence. White men felt entitled to positions of honor and privilege. That was never questioned. What the age of Trump is about is the defense of White male supremacy. It is the power structure of 1776...

 Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have many astrological energies in common. They share the effervescence and sociability of Gemini, but they also share the deep penetrating qualities of Scorpio. They have the agreeableness of Libra, but the Leo energies give them the desire to stand out and shine. They both have high voltage smiles. Taurus gives them durability and toughness to persist through tough times. The similarity in their energies is summarized below:                                               JOE:                                             KAMALA: SCORPIO:             Mars, Mercury, Sun, Venus                Mercury, Neptune TAURUS:            ...

  A significant astrological exact transit of Mars conjunction dwarf planet Eris is coming on August 15-17, 2020. These two planets will be square Trump's natal Venus conjunction Saturn, his sensitive spot. The conjunction of Venus and Saturn means that Trump never feels he gets enough of love and approval. It is an insatiable need and a deep existential wound. The transiting Mars conjunction Eris hitting this spot means that Trump's ego is likely to be bruised by some outside action. Previously, when Mars and Eris met on February 6, 2019 Trump had to contend with the newly elected Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. It was the day of his SOTU speech in Congress when Democratic women protested by wearing white, the color of women suffrage. And then there was the famous clapback by Nancy Pelosi behind him. Trump got outplayed by women.  Mars Conjunction Eris seems a fitting archetypal energy for this event. Trump ignored Pelosi and did not wait for her to introduce him, which i...

Trump's "I alone can fix it" failed miserably and at the expense of nearly 160,000 lives and a wrecked economy. Trump's ignorance and arrogance has proven deadly. He did not bother to get informed on the Coronavirus from the scientists. His pathetic attempts to tackle it with disinfectants in the human body showed utter ignorance. Trump ignorantly proclaimed that it will "magically disappear". He was promoting magic over science. To Trump it was just another lie, no big deal, among the thousands of lies he told. Politically he got away with lies. But a virus can not be lied or bullied out of existence. It is a deadly enemy. You play with it at your own risk. Trump's "virus hoax" was proven painfully wrong. What we are learning from the Vanity Fair expose of July 31 was that a federal plan for testing headed by Jarred Kushner was intentionally scuttled. The reason for the scuttling was political: "The political folks believed that because i...

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...

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...

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 ...
