Donald Trump....

There's a lot of Uranus activity in Donald Trump's chart right now so it's no surprise that he's more rebellious and controversial than usual: Solar Arc Uranus is conjunct his natal Ascendant. This combination tends to bring a reaction against change as well as a rebellious attitude towards established patterns and traditions. It triggers upset and the possibility of separation or divorce. Obviously this could refer to the end of his presidency, but could it also be more personal?

Natal Uranus is being opposed by Solar Arc Neptune. With this influence there is often a fear of the unknown. He'd never admit to it, but donald Trump is probably scared of what his own future holds for him now that he no longer has the power and status of being POTUS. When you have held the highest position in the land, there is only one way to go.... Down. But this need not represent failure. Other former US presidents have embraced the end of their tenure with maturity and gratitude at having been given the opportunity and the honour of leading their nation. If Trump can adopt a more rational and reasonable perspective, he will be able to appreciate the success he's had.

Natal Uranus is being conjuncted by the Progressed North Node. This brings unexpected events which will have repercussions upon Trump's public reputation, leading to negative criticism. This planetary connection often occurs around the time of unexpected loss of a job or scandalous attacks. 

Donald Trump's Progressed Uranus has moved to oppose his natal Moon and conjunct his natal Sun. When Uranus hits the natal Moon by hard aspect in whatever chart - transit, progression, solar arc, etc, - it always indicates a change of residence. So the fact that he lost the election and has had to vacate the White House came as no surprise to most of us astrologers. Uranus conjunct his natal Sun showed sudden reversals and estrangements, as well as increasingly erratic behaviour.

Donald Trump's natal chart has his Sun and Moon in hard aspect to Mars in the USA chart so he was destined to be a provocative influence for his country. This planetary configuration was exactly triggered by the December Solar Eclipse and brought trouble on 6th January with the assault on Capitol Hill. The influence of this eclipse will last until June 2021. Donald Trump won't just disappear. Watch out for the consequences during the next six months - and beyond.....
