President Trump - The First Year

Donald Trump’s first year as president will be erratic. With his Solar Arc Pluto conjunct his natal Jupiter (exact in December 2016) and tr Pluto square his natal Jupiter in January 2017, then again from July to early September, and finally during November 2017, his confidence will soar. He'll make several more outlandish promises which will possibly create a significant backlash, legal problems and conflict with authority.

However, with transiting Saturn in opposition to his natal Uranus at the end of November 2016, and then conjunct his natal Moon and in opposition his natal Sun from the end of December 2016 until late January 2017, a severe reality check could shake him up when the responsibilities he’s acquired will suddenly dawn on him. These negative planetary influences will return from July to October 2017 when his public image will take a nosedive. In turn, this will impact unfavourably upon his personal life.

There's a very interesting planetary influence coming up for President Trump when his Progressed Moon enters the 12th sector of his natal chart in April 2017. This planetary influence will last until June 2019 and will bring a period of endings, emotional confusion, escapist tendencies, and a longing for solitude. Being in the spotlight continually will begin to be a problem for him. I experienced this personally when my own Progressed Moon entered sector 12 in February 2013. I actually wrote an article about it for the blog last year just as it was coming to an end. Here's the link:

For everyone who goes through this, it is a very tough time, and for me, it began with two very personal and stressful events. After that, I was plunged into a state of depression. I would definitely not have wanted to be in the spotlight or in a position of great responsibility during that period in my life. It will be interesting to see what happens to Mr Trump. Having said that, he is very adept at putting on a positive face, so, in public, it may seem like business as usual.

Starting in 2017, and continuing for two years, President Trump's Solar Arc Moon will be in an opposition aspect to his natal Ascendant. This planetary influence may bring adverse publicity and a possible loss of popularity. He could experience an increased need for security during this period, and there will strong links with women. There will also be a powerful feeling of deja vu - maybe another encounter with Hillary?

In May and October 2017 and then again in March 2018 transiting Uranus will be in a trine aspect to Mr Trump's natal Mars. This planetary influence will bring the inclination to make snap decisions, and he will have to try to channel his impulsive urges.  However, this is a positive aspect which could bring favourable results.  He will be more courageous when facing new challenges and have great confidence in his abilities.

In January, February and March 2018 Mr Trump's Progressed Moon will be conjunct his natal Pluto - and at the same time his Solar Arc Uranus will be conjunct his natal Mars. Intense but buried feelings could emerge under this planetary influence which could result in extreme reactions. A few secrets may be revealed. This will be a very feisty and potentially explosive period. Certain people or events may trigger fundamental changes in his life and he will either become much more - or much less - popular.

  1. Very interesting what you say about Trump wanting to escape or hide away. Do you think there's a possibility that he may resign?

    1. I really don't know if he'll resign or not, but I don't think he'll do more than one term in office.

  2. During his campaign, he was making speeches to his supporters, a case of preaching to the converted. But now he'll be in front of the entire population. I guess it will be too much pressure.

  3. What really worried me was your last line, that he could become "much more popular", I mean yes, there is also a chance that he could becomes less popular but after this election, I am worried about leaving anything to chances anymore. He is selecting awful cabinet members and is on pace to set the country for years, I am honestly terrified. But the fact that you say that his presidency will be tumultuous and he has plenty of negative aspects gives me some hope that he's gonna be ruined by the next two years.

    1. From what I can see so far, he is going to find it hard in his new job as president.

      Speaking personally, I think his supporters will become disillusioned and disappointed because he has promised them much more than he can realistically, or legally, deliver.

      I think the people will cause trouble for him rather than him causing trouble for the population. That could be the reason his will feel like hiding away.

  4. If Trump wants to hide away does that mean VP Mike Pence could take over in some way? That might be a good thing.

    1. I guess it's possible, and it could be a good thing.

    2. NO IT WOULD NOT, I'd rather have an idiot like trump running the show as supposed to Mike Pence he's even crazier I mean he talked about electrocuting gay people until they become straight

    3. Thanks. I didn't know that about Pence. I assumed that it might be a good thing because, unlike Trump, Mike Pence at least has some political experience.

    4. I'm actually surprised at how many crazy right wing politicians there are , our own prime minister is racist and homophobic. With the far right conservatives becoming more popular, trump, ukip ect I feel like things are going to get worse

    5. When you say "our own Prime Minister" are you referring to the UK PM?

      I haven't had time to study the charts of various nations or their leaders, so I can't really comment from an astrological point of view, but the whole world is in chaos right now.
