As if America couldn’t get enough of Russia-gate or Donald Trump, Trump finds himself in hot water yet again. We covered the most likely reasons for it in the previous article, but in this one we want to focus solely on the man himself, since it is he who is being singled out for investigation. Is this the big one that will bring Trump’s presidency to a close? At this late stage of his presidency, there is reason to doubt that it will. But there is quite a lot at play in the background. So, what was going on in Trump’s astrology in these past days that would show another such attempt to remove him from office?
There are two charts for Trump, the main one being for 10:54 am, that are circulating around the web now, with some astrologers saying the other chart (9:51 am) fits him better. I have my own considered opinion and insight, but I won’t say here. I would be giving away a talk I am due to give in the first of next year, of which I will post a transcript after the fact. But we can definitively say the following about Trump’s chart here, no matter which one is used, because it involves planets and not angles. Trump’s most-used chart (10:54) with transits is below (bigger):
When this story broke, transiting Saturn was square Trump’s Chiron. That is a so-called ‘heartbreak transit’. His Chiron is at 14 Lib 54. Saturn was also transiting over his Uranus/Pluto midpoint (13°58´ of cardinals). Uranus/Pluto as the basis of a midpoint is one that points to revolution and sudden upsets. Put together with Chiron, it spells trouble for Trump, and a painful situation for him. The midpoint structure with Saturn is telling:
“One-sidedness, self-will, egoism, stubbornness, hatred. – Exposure to extremely great pressure by others, separation caused through force majeure.”
That being said, unless the base midpoint is activated by a direction or eclipse, the effect will be ‘transitory’ – only momentary. The question then arises: Are there any directions to that midpoint? Not really, that is, none that will produce any large effect, and not from either chart. There is the Uranus/Node midpoint directed with a 45° modulus, which shows sudden changes of relationships and, “a political association advocating reforms”. However, there was a recent eclipse to that midpoint: 6 Jan 2019. Did anything transpire for him then?
The first two weeks of this year were during the period when we had the government shutdown in the US. Three days after the eclipse Trump abruptly walked out of a meeting with Democratic leaders in the Oval Office regarding the shutdown. On 22 Jan 16 Saturn made its first pass over the midpoint and square Chiron. This was when the Trump administration recognized Juan Guaidó as the ‘legitimate’ leader of Venezuela. The same day, Nancy Pelosi uninvited Trump for his State of the Union address to Congress, making him the only President to be so denied. Opposition features in this setup for him. But, Jupiter is also conjunct his Chiron natally, which is normally a lucky placement. However, when Saturn comes calling there by hard aspect it gives a chill wind and clips the wings.
When Saturn was activating the eclipse for the first time Trump withdrew the US from the INF Treaty, probably under John Bolton’s prompting. More breaks with relationships. When Saturn made its retrograde pass over the eclipse point there were the two big mass shootings in the US – El Paso and Dayton, which was more pain for the nation.
Exact to the day when Saturn was conjunct the Uranus/Pluto midpoint on its retrograde pass, Trump fired John Bolton, speaking of broken relationships and upsets. It was one of his better actions, but it did represent a separation and was due to Bolton opposing his actions. The retrograde pass over Chiron was on August 12, when he limited the number of green card recipients. But that was also the day the whistleblower document was lodged, without his knowing. The direct station of Saturn on 18 September was on the Uranus/Pluto midpoint.
At the time of the phone call that led to the present situation, Mars had just transited over his natal full moon axis, showing his rush to release the transcript of the Zelensky phone call, which may turn out to have been a miscalculation on his part, for reasons outlined shortly. Aside from the previous transits, this represents the extent of the difficulties on the day. Otherwise, transiting Jupiter was sextile transiting Mercury, the latter on his natal Jupiter. He has a natal Jupiter/Uranus trine, giving his success with the media, and the Mercury and Jupiter transits in the day were activating that trine. He will be able to make political capital on this incident, at least for now. Then, there are the directions, below (bigger):
Two in particular stand out – the direction of Venus exact on his Neptune, and the direction of Ceres square his Saturn, exact in about five months. The Venus direction can signify many things, but it is primarily a romantic/dreamer’s direction. It also has the tendency to increase nervous sensitivity and can weaken glandular function. It in turn tends to cloud one’s sense of reality, as romantic notions often do.
The Ceres direction shows a turning point in his destiny, a karmic one. The direction is from the 9th house (foreign affairs and long range travels), showing the Ukrainian influence in this matter. His natal Saturn is in the 11th house (friends and alliances), and the thing he desires most right now is to be re-elected.
One of the more telling directions may possibly be that of the Ascendant of the 10:54 chart to his Pluto, the latter in the 12th house and the former from the 3rd house. Pluto in the 12th house can be a significant indicator of self-sabotage. In Trump’s case Pluto is not well aspected and is at the Mars/Saturn midpoint, which describes, “Brutality, the rage or fury of destruction. – The intervening of Higher Power, bodily injury or harm (murder, the death of a great many people).” With the directed Ascendant of the 10:54 chart there it tells of difficult circumstances and people being placed in one’s way and great difficulty in advancement. In the 9:51 chart there are no such indicators.
In the 10:54 chart there is a trine to the Midheaven on the day the impeachment proceedings were announced. In the 9:51 chart there was a trine of Jupiter to the Ascendant. Both charts show a benefit by transit, but only one shows difficulties by transits and directions to and by angles.
Regardless, there are some other factors to consider in this. Trump can make political capital on this if he chooses to do so, all the while facing difficulties. To parse this we need a little bit of background.
The whistleblower complaint, dated August 12, is based on information received from ‘multiple US government officials’ who allegedly expressed great concern that Trump was seeking aid from a foreign government in order to influence the outcome of the 2020 US presidential election. The information it was alleged he was seeking was in relation to the ‘Russia-gate’ investigation headed by Mueller. The phone call to Zelensky in question took place the day after the Mueller investigation was wrapped up and Trump was cleared of wrongdoing.
The mainstream media has seized on the timing, trying to cast this as Trump going after Biden in an effort to sway the upcoming presidential election. However, there was nothing illegal in the phone call, and he was pursuing matters that would be in the public interest. In fact, there is a treaty between the US and the Ukraine that relates to the exchange of information between the two nations when it comes to pursuing legal matters. In Art. 1 of the treaty, it states:
“[t]he Contracting States shall provide mutual assistance, in accordance with the provisions of this Treaty, in connection with the investigation, prosecution, and prevention of offenses, and in proceedings related to criminal matters.”
There is plenty to suggest that Biden and his son, Hunter, were involved in at least quite unethical if not illegal, activity in the Ukraine surrounding the 2014 coup there, by Biden’s own admission, and amidst an ongoing Ukrainian investigation into the matters, which were suppressed as a result of Biden’s actions. That coup of 2014 has placed European security at risk, and is indeed a matter of public interest to be investigated and resolved. But that was not Trump’s interest in the call. With the phone call, Trump has been within the law.
The phone call took place the day after the Mueller investigations were closed, with the purpose of investigating Ukrainian involvement in the Russia-gate affair:
“Trump wanted Zelensky to look into the Ukrainian influence on the whole Russiagate campaign. There certainly was a lot of it. The three Ukrainian-American Chalupa sisters, Alexandra, Irena and Andrea, worked with the DNC and Ukrainian officials in Washington and Kiev to sabotage the Trump campaign. They are, together with other Ukraine affiliated persons like the Dimitry Alperovich, the CEO of the hacks at Crowd Strike, at the core of Russiagate.
The Mueller investigation closed a day before the phone call. It found that Trump had not colluded with Russia or the alleged Russian influence on the 2016 election. That Trump wants the new Ukrainian leader to investigate what Ukrainian officials did in support of a debunked campaign against him may be a wrong thing to do but it is certainly not criminal.”
It is also in the public interest, especially for the American and Ukrainian publics. This current move by the DNC against Trump has hurt Zelensky, who was already in negotiations with the Russians to end the war in the Donbass – all in the interest of domestic politics on the part of the DNC. But it was also in the interest of preventing peace in the Ukraine, a result of CIA actions.
And regarding the CIA, the whistleblower complaint was improper and improperly filed. From a previous link:
“Under the statute [for whistleblowers] the whistle blowing must concern either a person or activity that is under the authority of the Director of National Intelligence. One cannot use this statute to whistle blow to the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, a subordinate official of the DNI, on anything that the DNI has no authority over. In other words, nothing in the statute allows an “intelligence activity whistleblower” complaint to be made concerning the president or his phone calls. Such matters are not supervised by the DNI and are outside the jurisdiction of this statute.”
So in other words, this complaint was both politically motivated and aimed at scuttling negotiations between Russia and the Ukraine. From the previous article, as an action it has been successful. But it will result in blowback for the DNC. It was mentioned earlier that trump’s lodging of the phone call may have been rash. The blowback from this may also include reticence on the part of many world leaders to hold phone conversations with any sitting president. There were also probably factions within Ukraine who were active in forming the complaint. That will come out in time, if true. The nationalist factions in the Ukraine do not want peace with Russia.
As to the question of whether this will derail Trump, the short answer is no. It may even help him with his re-election. If dirt turns up on Biden as a result of this it will hurt Biden’s chances at the White House. The impeachment investigations will also galvanize Trump’s voter base and probably also sour the public further on the DNC. There will be some temporary pain for Trump, but this will blow over. His troubles into the future (mid-year) come from other causes, regardless of which chart for him one uses.
There is so much wrong here on both sides of US politics that is begs the question as to how this is going to help anything. Will it result in Trump being removed from office, as Trump’s opponents hope? Highly unlikely. Will it result in indictments and possible convictions of high-level officials in the Democratic Party? Also highly unlikely. The resulting cans of worms such actions would open would result in too much exposure to too many high-profile people on both sides of the aisle. Why? Because, Presidents come and go, but policy remains the same. The behemoth of the US establishment ensures that the same policies get passed on from one president to the next. Trump is no exception.
Do such things as Ukraine-gate and Russia-gate need to be investigated? Speaking as an American and concerned citizen, absolutely! And across administrations, not simply this one. Trump will likely survive this. Zelensky may not, and that would be a crime for the Ukraine. The Saturn/Pluto conjunction at the first of the year will not affect Trump so much as it will the psyche of Americans. That is the phenomenon we should be watching, instead of all this political theater.
Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends.
