Donald Trump was born June 14, 1946. The birth time is recorded as 10:54 AM in Queens NY. That time seems to work rather well as we will see.
Trump has a Leo ascendant with Mars near the rising sign. The birth time I have gives him a 29 degree rising with Mars at almost 27 degrees. When any planet or point is in the last degree of a sign it gives that person a feeling that they must complete something in this lifetime. It is very much a hangover from a previous incarnation, although we are not usually aware of such things. The first 2 ½ degrees of any sign is the most like that sign. We divide each sign into 12 parts of 2 ½ degrees, so the first part is ruled by that sign. For example, the first part of Aries is controlled by Aries. The next 2 ½ degrees is sub-ruled by Taurus, the next by Gemini, and so on. But when we reach the last degree of a sign there is a sense of criticalness and the person plays out the most subconscious part of that sign, in this case Leo. It has a 12th house feel to it and that brings up the Pisces type of energy associated with the 12th house. With Mars so close to the ascendant applying from the 12th house his ego is very much in play all the time. His decisions aren’t really motivated by his intellect as much as by his need to express that restricted 12th house Mars. That’s the equivalent of a Mars – Neptune aspect, and those two planets do not do well together. There is a dissipation of the Martian energy that can leave the person feeling unsure of him or herself. While Trump appears to be forceful and direct, in actuality he is anything but, and his actions show just the opposite. If his ego were strong and secure he would not react to every little slight with the meanness and dismissiveness he projects. He is in reality very thin-skinned and easy offended. His ego is quite fragile and it irks him to be corrected or challenged.
He also has Mercury in Cancer, an overly emotional placement that will often respond from the unconscious. It is in square to Neptune creating a very confused way of thinking and speaking. His facts are often wrong, and he doesn’t care because his mind does not work in a direct or clear fashion. He has a great deal of 12th house issues in his chart. This square of Mercury to Neptune is also quite prominent in people who develop dementia, and I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point that were the case. Uranus conjunct the Sun is often found in stroke patients, and with the Full Moon present as well I believe he will succumb at some point to a major circulatory problem.
He also has Saturn inconjunct his Moon which can be a very difficult aspect for emotional issues and for his immune system and digestion. The inconjunct is a distraction that will pull the person’s attention away with little notice. This configuration also shows that his relationship with his mother and women in general is strained and difficult for him. Because he felt that he must choose between the father (Sun) and the mother (Moon) from an early age he did just that, picking the father’s side.
The fact that his North Node is right between the Sun and Uranus in the 10th house of career shows that his drive for success is relentless and unrealistic, and directly related to his relationship with the father. I don’t believe he’s worth nearly what he says, and if that were to come out in public the embarrassment he would feel would wound his already shaky ego. This is the main reason he doesn’t reveal his tax returns. There may be some shady business as well with Mercury in square to Neptune, but I think it’s got more to do with his self-image than anything.
All in all this is a very difficult chart with so many harsh aspects, and it would be impossible for him to do the job. With the Full Moon and Uranus so prominent his temperament is too erratic and uncontrollable and his presidency would be a catastrophe.
Now, before my readers who support Trump get too angry, let’s take a look at Hillary’s chart. I try to be as open minded and objective as I can.
Hillary was born October 26, 1947, in Chicago. We do not know the time, despite many attempts to uncover it. Most astrologers use an 8:00 AM, or an 8:00 PM chart.
She is a Scorpio, with the Sun, Chiron, Venus, Mercury and the South Node in that sign. All the signs have potentially positive and negative traits, and while Scorpio sometimes gets a bad rap in astrology it is one of the deepest feeling signs. I know many wonderful Scorpios and find their depth of feeling and understanding can be extremely useful. Scorpio rules the 8th house of rejuvenation and that house has a great deal of influence in all our lives. But they do tend towards secretiveness and can withhold information and hide their true feelings. With so much energy in that fixed water sign it can be quite difficult for her to open up and let us see what’s going on inside. That can be a problem when running the country.
But the main issue with Hillary is that Mars is exactly conjunct Pluto in Leo. Saturn is also close by, but it is 7 degrees away and has less influence. This conjunction of Mars and Pluto makes her controlling and quite powerful. It also adds more fuel to that Scorpio side. Mars rules our energy, and the ego. Pluto the ruler of Scorpio being so prominently placed in her chart increases her secretiveness and with the conjunction to Mars makes it difficult for her to open up and show the world who she really is. It’s interesting that neither candidate seems able or willing to apologize or accept responsibility for their mistakes.
In the 8:00 PM chart Hillary’s Moon is 29 degrees Pisces. Interestingly we see that 29 - degree aspect in each candidate. This placement makes it very difficult for her to show her emotions, and she comes across somewhat cold and distant. This is one of the biggest reasons some people are turned off by her. We want our leaders to be parental figures all cuddly and soft. She does not come across that way.
There are issues with each of the two candidates. But while I do try to be objective, I cannot say that they are equal in their talents, personalities or experiences. I just don’t believe there is even remotely a comparison between the two. Hillary is a flawed human being who has made some mistakes in her long career. But Donald Trump has the chart of a sociopath who could easily lead us down a road we could not come back from. I believe it would be in America’s best interests at this point in history and with these choices, to elect Hillary. Donald Trump is the most volatile dangerous person to ever seek the office of President of the United States.
