An unprecedented second state visit for Trump kicks off tomorrow. For him a vanity trip with photo ops galore amongst the Royals at Windsor. For the UK it is realpolitik with the hope of lower tariffs and a better bilateral relationship with the US than other countries.
Though Epstein managing to send tremors from beyond the grave (or wherever) with the Mandelson scandale may put a minor damper on the forced jollity.
Trump’s chart relocated to London puts his ‘influential’ Pluto and flamboyant Mars in Leo in the 10th, though Pluto close to the MC can have its downside. Perhaps his natal keeping-secrets 12th house Pluto is exposed when it relocates to the 10th with possible career damage.
Transiting Mars is exactly conjunct the relocated Ascendant hinting at a combative, pro-active approach though there should be less risk since almost all of the events will be out of the public view.
Trump’s relationship with King Charles has a friendly composite Sun Venus conjunction and a chained-together Saturn Pluto with ripples of disagreement from Mars trine Uranus – but will almost certainly glide by without incident.
Prince William has a superficially amiable composite Sun Venus trine Jupiter in his relationship chart with Trump but that hides a deep-dislike composite Mars Pluto conjunction beside Uranus Saturn.
The UK regards Trump with a degree of irritation and the composite UK/DT Sun opposition Moon square Mars is being undermined at the moment and through 2026/27 by tr Saturn Neptune in hard aspect.
More pointedly, Trump’s relationship with Keir Starmer is not in great shape despite all the greasing and grovelling. Their composite Sun Mars is being ground down by tr Pluto in opposition exactly now until early December this year.
Trump’s personal chart looks a touch downbeat over this week with tr Saturn square the Mercury/Uranus midpoint; and pushing against headwinds until early December with tr Pluto opposition his Saturn/Pluto midpoint. In part one assumes due to Charlie Kirk being shot.
On the Epstein front, DT’s relationship with his posthumous chart is nerve stretched now and through 2026; worse in 2027. For some reason (which fascinates me) Trump’s entangled relationship chart with Ghislaine Maxwell is facing a crucial turning point exactly now and again till early 2026. There is a ‘fated’ composite yod tying their destinies together onto an apex composite Sun at 28 degrees Pisces. That Sun is catching the separating tr Saturn conjunct exactly now, with the approaching Virgo Solar Eclipse adding its contribution of a crisis – and that effect runs on for several months.
Just to mop up the Royals – with King Charles having had a meeting with Prince Harry for the first time since 2022, there is much excitable talk about a reconciliation and prodigal son return. Though Charles’ relationship chart with Harry has a sagging confidence tr Saturn Neptune square the composite Jupiter extending through 2026 – so not all moving ahead smoothly.
More significantly Charles’ relationship with Meghan looks upset this month with the Solar Eclipse conjunct their composite Venus and an emotionally-dampening tr Saturn Neptune in opposition throughout the winter; with more disappointment through 2026 as tr Neptune Saturn oppose the composite Mars Sun. From which one might assume she is not delirious about a Harry UK return.
Meghan’s relationship with Harry with its final degree composite Mars in Virgo is also catching the Virgo Solar Eclipse and tr Neptune Saturn in opposition throughout the winter pointing the arguments and aggravations in Montecito. With hints of a major reset or rift come 2026 as tr Uranus squares their composite Sun and opposes the Uranus.
Apologies for going off-piste but there isn’t a comments/request section at the moment.
A minor obsession of mine is the royal finances, currently growing exponentially and secretive. Triggered by Trump’s visit and AndyB’s history of saturn/neptune conjunctions (Joseph McCarthy), it occurred to me that it might be interesting to look at the astrology of George 111’s (1760) exchange of net income from Crown Estates to parliament for a fixed annual income, ie the Civil List.
The royals are riding high, even Kevin Maguire was impressed, after their performance with the Donald and I wondered how the coming eclipse would affect the ongoing subterranean tensions and manoeuvres over their money. Charles is a money magnet, who as far as we know, spends it on charitable works, however dubious the donors.
As a non sequiteur add-on, it’s amusing to see all conjecture re Harry, King Charles etc exclude their wives. I can’t see Catherine, Camilla, Anne or even Sophie being thrilled at Harry’s return, especially with Meghan in tow. And I definitely can’t see Meghan agreeing to anything which prizes her out of her Montecito perch, let alone allowing her children out of her sight to be educated in the UK.
Royal finances will get a do-over when Norman Baker’s new book comes out – mid October. The Duchys finances are going to be a problem for Charles and Will – not a good look.
Catherine certainly does not get on with Meghan but I suspect none of them want her back.
Thank you Marjorie. It was Norman Baker’s book ‘And What Do You Do’ that set me off. Btw found comment section. A bit doolally these days.
“Saw headlines on paper saying Harry wants to spend more time in the UK. ”
@GD, it could well be that his children are at that age where they’re curious about their grandparents, and Prince Harry wants to facilitate a relationship.
It could also be that Meghans career is taking off (independent of him), and his options are somewhat limited in the USA.
I imagine there are a whole multitude of factors as to why he might want to spend more time here. Not least that his dad has cancer and maybe Harry realises the fragility of the situation.
In the article I read, he mentioned how having been in the army had provided him with a sense of purpose. He has a bunch of Sag planets which are always looking for purpose (what is the target of the archer’s arrow?) and moving to California was probably exciting to go see what opportunities it presented but now maybe he’s realising the answers aren’t there.
Despite the Sag planets, the central axis of Harry’s chart has Saturn on Scorpio MC opposite Taurus Moon – so he is always being drawn back to the UK by his past and a sense of duty.
Right – and I think Harry and Charles have a warm bond. Yes, that Sagitarius wanderlust…
I’d like to see them back, with his kids and wife appearing on the Buckingham Palace balcony some day soon. It’s their birthright.
I’ve only seen King Charles for a flash over the Trump visit – but he looks quite healthy.
Scorpio regenerative powers (and some excellent medical coverage)
Agree. But then Cappy Catherine looked well too. The royals and PM seemed to really enjoy Trumps visit, and vice versa.
I must say, Trump has a lot of personality.
I expect Harry will return to the UK without Meghan and will be a shuttle dad to California. I also expect the final act of his conflict with his brother will take place when William becomes king. That will be a showdown for the ages, and I do not believe the monarchy will survive it.
Some astrologers are predicting major health issues for Trump this fall, with the emphasis on late October or early November. These are very good astrologers I generally enjoy reading, but they have a liberal bias. They also predicted Trump would lose last fall. So far, I think this is again wishful thinking. I’ll believe Trump is gone when I see it.
Vedic astrologer, Gurmeet Singh, states T’s health issues aren’t a valid concern until July of 2026. Agree with you, believe it when I see it.
So much to think about here, Marjorie!
I notice that DJT’s partnership asteroid Juno, and the catalyst Chiron, both link with the UK 1801’s Nodes – 14 Aries/Libra. Jupiter in Libra is very close too. A strong connection with the UK’s history, or fantasies about the UK’s history, or even some mysterious ‘karma’? The idea of partnerships (and the law) seems to be underlined by the sign Libra too.
Trump’s own ‘fateful’ natal South Node is conjunct the House of Commons Pluto in Sagittarius, and the NN is with the 54 BC Pluto at 18 Gemini for the initial Roman Invasion is close to his NN. That’s as far as I’ve got, but these connections suggest the UK links with the current US President may have quite an impact at many levels, not all of them immediately apparent. His own personal links come through his Scottish mother, as far as I know. However, she was reportedly a big fan of the British Royal Family.
Saw headlines on paper saying Harry wants to spend more time in the UK. The 7-year itch for the marriage is coming up – which I take to be Saturn square Saturn in the wedding chart. That’ll occur in April when Saturn goes over 8Aries and then again through November / December 2026.
Apart from being here when The Queen died, Meghan has never set foot back in the UK since flouncing off. I personally know of three other Libra moon women who’ve run away from relationships then stayed away. Fragile egos however they may dress it up.
So how any of it works out for Harry, I’m not sure. He’s between a rock and a hard place. Sadly reading the quotes he still doesn’t really get how relationships and life work. But he still has more of his midlife crisis transits to work through as only the Pluto square Pluto is done so far – maybe he’ll make progress there.
GD
How many more mid life crisis transits does Harry have??
He seemed to be doing so well initially back in UK with the charity work he seems to need and find rewarding, then he totally blows it with the interview he gives to the Guardian..
He has a lot more work to do on himself?
Is there light at the end of the tunnel in later middle age?
His paranoia seems marked and he really seems to believe his ‘truth’ which I’d assumed were mainly lies?
