Trump, Zelensky, Vance, Putin

President Zelenskyy was always going to be inextricably linked to Donald Trump in one way or another. Their astrological charts are tightly intertwined with many jaw-dropping connections. Their synastry is powerful but not necessarily harmonious all of the time. Add J.D. Vance into the equation and as we saw at the White House on 28th February, the relationship can become very fraught and irritable.

One thing stood out from their charts - they are all extremely stubborn. Zelenskyy's Aquarian Sun, Trump's Leo Ascendant and Vance's Leo Sun and Ascendant came together and triggered a clash of egos with none of them willing to back down. The hubris in the Oval Office that day was off the scale. It should never have happened. 

There is a lot of potential for Zelenskyy and Trump to work well together. Trump's natal Sun is conjunct Zelenskyy's natal Ascendant, trine his Midheaven and trine his Jupiter. They both have Air Sun signs and both have Fire sign Moons. Trump's Moon is conjunct Zelenskyy's Descendant. 

So, what do we know from the astrology right now? Well, as I've mentioned before in previous posts, Russia is on its way down. The current structure will collapse by 2027 - probably in 2026. Ideally, the Russia-Ukraine war must end by 18th April 2025 otherwise there won't be another astrological window of opportunity until 6th August - 23rd September 2025. This is from my extensive research into the beginnings and endings of wars in Europe. 

J.D. VANCE

This chart is a real eye-opener and on 28th February there was a New Moon at 9° Pisces. This formed a quincunx aspect to his natal Sun, an opposition to his Mercury, a trine to his Saturn, a square to Uranus and a square to Chiron. Not exactly in the right frame of mind for open-minded discourse.

Right now, transiting Uranus is conjunct his natal Midheaven and opposite his natal Mars. It's also square his natal Venus. As a result, his energy levels are extremely high and potentially explosive. He will definitely be spoiling for a fight. Uranus will be square his natal Ascendant from mid-April to mid-July and again during November thereafter continuing until the end of April 2026, bringing sudden and disruptive events which will throw him off balance. It will conjunct his natal North Node from mid-May 2026 onwards until the beginning of June 2027. With all of this Uranus activity, he will have more than a few shocks and surprises coming his way. The planet of chaos will rip through his chart like a tornado during the next two years.

PUTIN

If his birthdate is accurate, then right now he has transiting Mars conjunct his natal Uranus and heading towards a,square to his natal Mercury and Neptune..Interesting that both Vance and Putin have hard Mars-Uranus aspects influencing their charts at the moment. Very volatile energy. He is definitely not in a good mood right now.

The Presidents' Curse

The alleged curse known as 'The 20 Year USA Presidential Curse' (also the 'Curse of Tippecanoe', 'Tecumseh's Curse' or the '20 Year Presidential Curse') is a pattern of death in office of Presidents of the United States elected in years that end in a zero, from William Henry Harrison (elected in 1840) through to John F. Kennedy (1960). There have been no deaths in office since JFK, but then again, only two presidents have been elected in a year ending in zero since that fateful date: Ronald Reagan in 1980 and George W Bush in 2000 but crucially, both of them survived assassination attempts. 

William Henry Harrison was elected president in 1840, but he died in 1841, just a month after being sworn in. This became known as the 'Curse of Tippecanoe', derived from the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, when Harrison negotiated the 1809 Treaty of Fort Wayne, in which the Indigenous people ceded large tracts of land to the government. This angered Shawnee leader Tecumseh and brought government soldiers and Indigenous tribes to the brink of war. After Tecumseh was killed, his brother Tenskwatawa allegedly set a curse against Harrison in 1811. He was elected president 29 years later and died from natural causes on 4th April 1891, just over a month into his presidency. The cause of death was Typhoid.

Of all the US presidents elected in a 'zero' year since 1840, three died of natural causes, four were assassinated, and two survived attempted assassination. So, in all cases, death was near and only two escaped alive. Whether or not the curse is real, there is an astrological cycle which occurs every 20 years and has a strong influence over these presidents - the Jupiter Saturn conjunction. There has always been a Jupiter-Saturn conjunction within a year or so of the ‘zero’ Presidents being elected. The next one is due in December 2020.....

The big question is: Why does this only affect American Presidents? There are many intriguing connections to the USA national chart. The other big question is - why did the last two 'zero' year presidents not die as the result of the curse? Some astrologers claim that the previous Jupiter Saturn conjunctions have taken place in Earth signs and that since 1980, this major conjunction has occurred in Air signs. However, my research has proved this to be inaccurate, as the Jupiter Saturn conjunction in 2000 was in an Earth sign. The mystery remains as to why the previous presidents, Reagan and G.W. Bush survived the curse. Has its power weakened and what will happen to the president who is about to be elected on 3rd November 2020? Only time will tell....
