In a previous post on this site we had a look at Donald Trump\u2019s adventure with the coronavirus and resulting COVID-19 illness. We have all probably seen doubts as to his ever really having had the illness. But his astrology clearly showed it, and his subsequently being healed of the disease. In this post we want to look a little bit ahead, because there was more to Trump\u2019s story than was covered at the time. As well, we will look at the course of his illness and why, as so many people had hoped, Trump was not finished off by COVID, either by death or in leaving office. Trump\u2019s troubles are not over, however, and there remain other possibilities for health matters to crop up. This is not a post on wishful thinking or warning, but instead a look at his situation in the light of cold analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n

We won\u2019t cover the course of Trump\u2019s brush with the virus here. That was covered in the previous post<\/a><\/span>. In that post it was mentioned that there were no immediate factors that indicated the course of the illness except for the transiting Moon. That turned out to be the<\/em> key indicator for the outcome of his experience. At the time of his diagnosis the Moon was transiting between his 7th<\/sup> and 10th<\/sup> houses, showing rising fortunes, as transits through that sector of the chart generally do, as a trend. However, if the 8th<\/sup> house is strongly implicated, death can occur when the Moon transits there, barring other helpful factors. Trump had some of those helpful factors present.<\/span><\/p>\n

The transits at the time of his diagnosis showed the Saturn\/Pluto conjunction trine his MC, Mars trine his Mars, and transiting Jupiter and Neptune in sextile, the latter ruling his 8th<\/sup> house. The transits showed he would surpass the illness and receive good treatment. I left the outcome of the situation as an open question at the time. However, it was clear he would not be leaving office, as shown by the Saturn\/Pluto trine to his MC.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the concluding remarks to the previous post on this, the following was put forward:<\/span><\/p>\n

In all, this week will tell if Trump\u2019s condition is to worsen or if he will be on the mend. But since he is this far along with the illness already, the chances of his being able to fully function any time soon look slim. Right now we are seeing the dexamethasone bolstering him, so we cannot be certain if this is the true Donald Trump right now. Boris Johnson\u2019s case of it in the UK should serve as an example. He is still not well from it, and his stint in hospital was several months ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump was released from hospital on the 5th<\/sup> of October<\/a><\/span>. The Moon was then on his MC, trining the Saturn\/Pluto conjunction. He was humming on dexamethasone<\/a> <\/span>at the time, a powerful steroid usually given to late-stage patients with the disease. On the day of his release he made his speech from the balcony of the White House, in what many comments in the Twitter-sphere called his \u2018Mussolini moment\u2019. The question then arose in people\u2019s minds, was he really sick or was this a pre-election stunt? It\u2019s a valid question, knowing Trump\u2019s penchant for grandstanding and making bold statements, consistent with his natal Mars\/Ascendant conjunction in Leo.<\/span><\/p>\n

The illness is clearly shown in his chart, again from the previous article. So, why didn\u2019t it \u2018take him out\u2019, as his detractors hoped? We just described the transits, showing the astrology of why. But there is another reason which cannot be ignored: He had the best, most aggressive treatment money could buy<\/a><\/span> in the US, plus the fact he was hopped up on the steroid. Had he not had that treatment, it is very likely he would have had a very rough time of it. His behaviour over the next few days gave dramatic testimony to the effects of that steroid. People are not generally given that powerful drug if they are not ill.<\/span><\/p>\n

Watching his performance on the balcony, it is clear that Trump was still having trouble breathing<\/a><\/span>. But given the election was upon him, and given his Leo\/Mars Ascendant, he had to show strength to his voting base, plus send the message that he was still on top of things and that a \u2018little \u2018ol virus\u2019 was not going to stop him or the country. It was also a dig at the Democrat base, who have urged proper health measures all along and who have chided him for what health professionals have called the poor handling of the virus in the United States. We won\u2019t go into opinions on the latter here.<\/span><\/p>\n

Given the preceding and the fact he is now clear of the virus, there is nothing more to say, right? He\u2019s out of the woods and there is no further cause for concern, is there? Not so fast.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is a particular direction in Trump\u2019s chart that is still in effect and has not reached exactitude, and the transits have changed since his hospital stay. The chart is below (bigger<\/a><\/span>):<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The main direction to which we refer here is that of Uranus conjunct his Sat\/Nep midpoint \u2013 the \u2018health axis\u2019. That axis lies at 59\u00b049\u2019 natally, and his directed Uranus is currently, as of Election Day, at 50\u00b003\u2019. Thus, it will not be exact until mid-August next year. That direction is also conjunct his Ascendant, to be exact in late September 2021. That setup \u2013 Asc=Sat\/Nep \u2013 bears a closer examination, because with Uranus affecting it now, it shows the increasing changes in Trump\u2019s fortunes, and not in the best way.<\/span><\/p>\n

From Ebertin, the natal midpoint reads as follows: \u201cAn emotionally depressing environment<\/strong>, oppressive family circumstances<\/strong>, emotional suffering caused by other persons<\/strong>, limitation of freedom.\u201d This shows his early upbringing, which we won\u2019t get into, except to say he did not have a happy childhood<\/a><\/span>. Biologically, the reading of that midpoint is, \u201cThe chronic and unhampered progress of malady.\u201d Sociologically, it reads, \u201cPoor, sick or depressed persons.\u201d And as to probable manifestations, we have:<\/span><\/p>\n

+ The methodical execution of plans, the slow attainment of success through intense activity and great painstaking effort.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Painful or tormenting emotional inhibitions, undermining circumstances also leading to a state of illness,<\/strong> neuroses or diseases with causes difficult to ascertain.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bolded text will be important directly. The other natal midpoint to Trump\u2019s Ascendant by the 90\u00b0 modulus is Venus\/Neptune. Venus and Neptune are quintile in his chart, and the reading is as follows: \u201cA peculiar disposition with regard to love-life, impressionability, a lack of good taste. – A union with persons of a peculiar disposition<\/strong>, disappointment in love.\u201d We won\u2019t get into his love-life here, either, but the bolded text in the midpoint reading is quite descriptive of his malleability and his associations with \u2018people of peculiar disposition\u2019. Roy Cohn and Steve Bannon come immediately to mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the 45\u00b0 modulus (\u2018hidden midpoints\u2019) the outlook is much extended. The most notable midpoint there is our \u2018revolution midpoint\u2019 \u2013 Uranus\/Pluto, the reading of which is: \u201cBeing placed in an unusual or restless environment. – Applications of force, an accident.\u201d All of these midpoints to his Ascendant natally describe his early life and the forces and environment that shaped Donald Trump. And now, with Uranus there by direction we see very strong activations of them, as well as great changes taking place in his life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Any planet or midpoint conjunct the Ascendant \u2018speaks\u2019 through a person. The rising sign and degree rules one\u2019s self-expression and appearance. With Mars conjunct Trump\u2019s Ascendant, we see the bombast, the fearless attitude, the need to be and appear strong, the combative attitude and so on, all qualities we would expect from Mars. Add to that combination the Leo Ascendant and Mars in Leo and you have the typical image of Trump. It is small wonder he acted the way he did when he found out he had the virus.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, although Mars is conjunct Trump\u2019s Ascendant, it is not contained in any of the aforementioned midpoints and thus is not being activated by the Uranus direction. We saw that almost four years ago, instead, when directed Uranus was on his Mars, starting within orb in June 2017 and showing his more reckless decisions in foreign policy. Prior to that, his progressed\/directed Sun was on his Ascendant, showing his victory in the 2016 election. Directed Uranus was also squaring his Meridian axis then, showing his unexpected victory over Clinton.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, coming to the present day, a rather interesting scenario has arisen. From the preliminary analysis of the election<\/a><\/span>, we see that Trump\u2019s lead is weakening in the key swing states that would give him the election. And as of this writing, Biden only needs to win Nevada to give him the Presidency. The day after the election (4 Nov), Mars entered within a degree of the sesquisquare of the Saturn\/Neptune midpoint, where it will stay for the most of this month.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time (4 Nov), transiting Jupiter came within orb of his Vertex, which is ordinarily very helpful. The latter is keeping his mood up and giving him vision for a victory. With other factors, that might be true, but the Mars sesquisquare will outlast it, and the factors that won him the last election are missing this time. He will still have help in his present battle, though, and he is contesting the vote. The Jupiter conjunction will be exact on the 11th<\/sup>, after which that influence will rapidly pass.<\/span><\/p>\n

That combination \u2013 Mars=Saturn\/Neptune \u2013 forming a hidden midpoint (45\u00b0 modulus), has the following reading: \u201cLack of energy, listlessness, lack of creative energy<\/strong>. – Weak procreative powers. – Inactivity through emotional depression or sickness<\/strong>.\u201d No sooner had Mars entered into orb with that midpoint, within a degree, Trump\u2019s fortunes in the election began to change for the worse. That doesn\u2019t mean he would go down without a fight. He will fight and fight hard for every vote. But the astrology that supported him at the last election simply is not there now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump is also not out of the woods with the COVID, either. Sometimes it takes months to get past all the symptoms of the disease, even with no signs of the virus showing, and he is showing obvious signs of fatigue that have not been there in past whirlwind campaigning. There is nothing to say he cannot contract another illness. Mars will square that midpoint at the end of February next year and Saturn, Uranus and Neptune will all be aspecting his luminaries. The man needs to watch his health.<\/span><\/p>\n

If Trump does manage to pull off this election he will not be having an easy time of it going into and immediately after the inauguration. The nervous strain on him will be enormous, and is actually so now. Looking back at the natal Sat\/Nep midpoint, one of the indicators for that is \u2018neuroses or diseases of uncertain origins\u2019. Then, in April transiting Uranus makes its final pass square his Pluto, which was in effect when his brother, Robert, passed on<\/a><\/span>. Pluto is at the midpoint of Trump\u2019s Mars\/Saturn axis, a very powerful combination for deaths and upsets.<\/span><\/p>\n

In closing, Trump\u2019s health will need to be watched in the months ahead. He needs rest instead of more stress. He may just get that rest. Then he can play golf to his heart\u2019s content and get on with his business matters. It is looking like he is going to lose the Presidency, though we cannot be certain yet. The nation will be divided regardless. But time, age and fate are finally catching up with Donald Trump. These next months ahead will not be kind or easy for him. A big change of pace is on the cards for Donald J. Trump, and America is in for a bumpy ride.<\/span><\/p>\n
