Marjorie, would you consider the future of Trump-serving Fox News? Michael Cohen on his video site features clips of how Fox commentators are defending Trump against allegations of pedophilia — including Jesse Watters saying that if Ghislaine Maxwell says that Trump did nothing wrong, everyone is to believe this convicted sex offender, case closed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XkxxLHkJNA. Even the most diehard, Fox News-fueled Trump supporters must be catching the whiff of sulfur, swampy rot, sheer evil coming from the Epstein emails, let alone the files. Cognitive dissonance is hard to deal with, but I would be grateful if you would check out whether this is growing among Fox viewer/Trump supporters AND whether this will cost Fox News viewers and advertisers. And even the implications for the enabling Murdochs?
The Fox incorporation chart (7 October 1996) is due a Saturn return in March next year.
Oh Chris, you do like giving difficult ones.
The Moon in Virgo at 23 to 29 completes a Grand Octagon tonight (uk time). A star of David 2 Grand Trines, 6 Mystic Rectangles, 4 (almost) kite formations. An approaching Sun/BML conjunction in Scorpio on the 19th. I wonder – if anything – what a Grand Octagon signifies in astrology?
Apparently it’s called a Grand Octile.
I’m so stupid, sorry. It’s a hexagon formation which is made up of six sextiles so a star of David formation. It is called a Grand Sextile and is an extremely rare occurrence. It is supposed to signify harmony and spiritual potential. Well, we need some of that right now.
I very much hope it does signify harmony, or at least spiritual awareness on some level VF. The Scorpio New Moon looks interesting – trine Saturn and Neptune, also Jupiter, and opposing Uranus, which is sextile Neptune. So perhaps surprises, but also some emotional and imaginative energy around?
I’ve met up with some very longstanding friends this week – we’re all scattered so making a plan isn’t that simple. Our emotions were really surfacing, joyful and easy even after a long gap. It felt like some sort of release of our childhood selves. So, point being, something’s in the air.
I was just looking through Marjorie’s previous posts about Trump and the USA and found this quote:
” Looking across the country relationship charts of other politicians who eventually gave into gravity – Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher, General Franco, Richard Nixon, Pinochet, Videla of Argentina – there was a mix of Uranus influences (= freedom) and South Node aspects when they departed. Apart from tr Uranus rattling up the composite Saturn for Trump in 2026/27, what is notable is that the Lunar Eclipse of autumn 2028 will catch Trump’s composite South Node with the USA which may well be significant.”
Looking ahead to the 2028 election (if it happens as normal), it is interesting to note that Uranus in Gemini will be conjunct the Uranus/MC conjunction in the Trump/USA natal chart. Make of that what you will.
I mean the Trump/USA composite chart, apologies.
It is also worth noting in relation to the above observations that Pluto will be conjunct the USA’s South Node at the time of the 2028 election.
Neptune will be square the Sun of the Trump/USA composite chart, but it is interesting to note that this aspect is also in the composite chart as well. There seem to be a few features of the Trump/USA composite chart that are repeating by transit around the 2028 elections. Not sure if that might mean the doubling down of such energies or the end of a cycle. Given the South Node activity maybe the latter?
Also if I am reading the asteroid symbols right then Trump’s natal Jupiter is conjunct the Trump/USA composite chart’s Juno (the asteroid of marriage and partnership). No wonder MAGA are so devoted to him if that is the case.
An observation I made recently on Keir Starmer’s chart. He has Mars in Cancer. As someone who has this placement myself, this explains why he seems to lack decisiveness and fight at times. Cancer being the sign of the crab – a creature known for sideways movement – means that Mars placed there will often try evasive manoeuvres instead of facing down and taking on a problem. (It also can – at least in my case – express itself as passive aggressiveness). The flipside is that Mars in Cancer does genuinely care about and want to fight for the home environment. But in politics and leadership one really does need to be decisive, and having Mars in this sign perhaps isn’t the best placement for that. Compare with the UK’s greatest ever PM, Clement Attlee, who had his Mars in Capricorn and achieved huge things with his no-nonsense getting on with the job approach.
PS Suggestions that Wes Streeting or Andy Burnham would be improvements on Starmer may be misguided I feel, as both of them have Mars in Pisces, which can be equally indecisive for different reasons. Both Gordon Brown and Theresa May had this placement, and while they seemed quite assured in their previous roles being top dog was not an easy place for either of them.
It wouldn’t be Streeting, as he has a very small majority. His Muslim constituents want him gone. And they form the vast amount of Labour supporters. Unfortunately if anybody is likely to succeed Starmer, it will be someone of the hard left.
Hi Marjorie, I just read an article that said that Hitler’s DNA was recently tested and that he apparently had Kallman Syndrome which “often results in low testosterone levels, undescended testicles and can result in a micropenis”. Furthermore, his blood also came back with high markers for a predisposition to autism, schizophrenia and biopolar disorder: https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/article/hitler-likely-had-genetic-condition-limiting-sexual-development-research/
Is there anything in his astrology that points to this?
There are rumours that Jennifer Aniston will tie the knot with her new beau Jim Curtis next year.
An aquarius / scorpio pairing. Any astro insights?
No offence, but there are always rumours about JA tying the knot with someone. And I am not being nasty, but these rumours tend to come about in order to keep the actor relevant and therefore they maintain a certain amount of popularity. And therefore remain employable. And they sell tabloid newspapers.
True Linda. My request was less about wedding bells and more about astro insights from Marjorie. I am always intrigued by the scorp/aqua pairing.
So, not only is Adelita Grijalva to be sworn in, but the US House Judiciary Committee Democrats have released Jeffrey Epstein e-mails, prompting a reaction from Republicans. White House seems to be in a full panic mode, with Signal messages where they discuss convincing House Republicans to detract signatures leaking and Karoline Leavitt telling she won’t disclose discussion in THE SITUATION ROOM.
I’ve seen some of the mails, with some names popping out, most importantly Thiel, and I can’t wait all of these people to be eternally disgraced.
Hello Solaia – Marjorie’s April 1st, 2025 post on Thiel is interesting.
“What will be interesting to watch in terms of the Trump/Thiel relationship is what will happen when tr Uranus squares the composite Pluto this July and then opposes the composite Saturn from August onwards, both repeating in 2026. They may appear locked together (composite Saturn square Pluto) by ideology and circumstances but there will be a high-tension eruption and a significant pulling apart. Essentially they are at odds on the ego front anyway with a composite Mars Neptune conjunction hinting that a win for one is a loss for the other.”- Marjorie
The Trump/Thiel composite Sun is 20 Leo. There’s a Solar Eclipse there in August, 2026. It is Saros Series 10 South. Brady writes: “Any news will have a sense of destiny or fatedness about it.”
I hope more names emerge finally, and people are held to account in this dark, festering scandal. So far it has been the former Prince Andrew, Ghislaine Maxwell, and – on the edge of the storm – Peter Mandelson. None of them are American, or indeed any other nationality except British.
There’s also a Mars in Cancer, Saturn in Aries square forming at the end of August, into early September which activates the USA Cancer Sun. Might be a bit crunchy?
Is there any significance to the fact that Nigel Farage’s Sun is exactly conjunct the UK’s North Node? Does this mean that he would always play a key role in the UK’s future direction one day or another?
I found an interesting quote from an astrologer I sometimes read (but don’t always agree with) which I think underlines this point:
“SOME EVENTS ARE MEANT TO HAPPEN….
With astrology you can sometimes see in advance that certain events are going to happen because they are ‘meant’ to, whether or not you agree with them. The purposes of the universe are beyond mere human understanding. And they are certainly beyond party politics. At its crudest, the universe is not ‘evolutionary’ and therefore ‘left wing’! In the case of Brexit, the astrology was telling me that the UK was going to vote leave, because we were at the end of a long series of major Pluto transits (we had joined under Pluto in an earlier cycle) and only leaving would give the kind of seismic change congruent with such astrology.
Neptune, entering Aries, is just starting its own journey around the UK chart. In the coming years, as we approach the next election, it will near the UK North Node at 13.55 Aries. Nigel Farage has Sun at 13.54 Aries. The astrology is saying very clearly that he will be the next PM, with the new vision that Aries suggests. He also has Uranus Rising from the 12th, like the UK, so he gets the national awkward-squad quality. I am not saying that I agree or disagree with his policies. Same with Trump: his chart is a close fit with the US Sibly chart, so he was always going to win.”
Some interesting ideas there SD. I’m really not sure that just the Sun on UK’s North Node says Prime Minster in waiting. The general election has to be called before mid August 2029, when Neptune will be 11 Aries. There’s a Solar Eclipse in Cancer conjunct the UK Moon, the public, in July, with, oddly enough tr Mars just passed the Libran S Node. Mars in Libra also turns retrograde on Valentine’s Day, 2029, at 13.55 degrees! So I agree something potentially ‘fateful’ is lining up that year which may or may not be the general election.
My intuitive feeling is that Farage is there as a ‘Uranian’ disruptor, rather than a leader. He worked tirelessly to bring about Brexit, for instance, when he wasn’t an MP. He continues to be somehow in tune with the prevailing mood. But does he have the stamina and patience to be PM? If elected, I suspect he’d find a way out early on.
Neptune transiting the Sun suggests more an “ego wipeout” for the native, less the sort of moment of personal success like a Jupiter or friendly 10th house one. In Farage’s case this happens in his 8th, so make of that what you will.
I can attest to this point after Neptune passed over my Sun nearly 30 years ago. It passes again in square in a decade or so.
Yes I agree JB, although when I experienced a Neptune opposition it coincided with several other major transits, so quite hard to unravel the patterns.
Re Farage’s Sun and the UK Aries/Libra Nodes, there seems to be some sensitivity to those points lurking in his history.
UKIP was founded 3 September, 1993. No Farage yet, but Mars was 14 Libra conjunct Jupiter 15 Libra on the UK Nodes, opposing F’s Sun.
Farage’s first go and being UKIP’s leader – 27 September 2006, has Mars 12 Libra inconjunct Uranus 12 Pisces. Mars is also trine Neptune, 17 Aquarius. UK 2nd house Neptune 18 Scorpio was being triggered then. The degrees of the 2006 September eclipses match this September’s – Lunar 15 Pisces, Solar 29 Virgo.
Farage’s second time as UKIP leader, 5 November 2010, had Saturn at 11 Libra.
Maybe the South Node activation suggests the creation of fantasies around an imagined British past? And/or perhaps some kind of weird karma unfolding?
So, Keir Starmer and the plots to remove him…
I’ve said before that I think his time of birth is 22:45 on 2nd Sept 1962 (working backwards from events in his life).
That would give an ascendant of 9 Gem 46, Moon at 21 Libra 4, Midheaven at 5 Aquarius 21 conjunct Saturn at 5 Aquarius 49. I think his grim public persona is due to Saturn on the MC.
When he became PM on 5th Jul 2024, tr Jupiter was at 9 Gem 10, conjunct his ascendant. Tr Pluto was at 1 Aq 16, approaching conj of his MC and Saturn – so taking power and responsibility.
When the Southport riots happened on 30 Jul 2024 to 5th Aug 2024, tr Mars moved from 6 Gem 57 to 10 Gem 19. So it crossed his ascendant.
Currently Mars is at 5 Sag 29 and will shortly cross his descendant and enter his house of enemies. His Saturn is being activated too.
Tr Mars going through the 7th house can be rough. When it happened to Princess Catherine, there was that frenzy of “where is kate” while she was ill, and the world’s media attacked her for daring to post a picture of her own children.
Tr Mars will conjunct tr Pluto on Starmer’s midheaven at the end of Jan 2026. That will be close to his Saturn too.
Hi. Just discovered comedian, Leanne Morgan. She found success late in life even though she started standup at around age 32. She’s 60 now and has her own Netflix show, simply titled Leanne. Wonder if there’s parallels with Roseanne Barr. Same type of career trajectory/fame and Roseanne also had her own show, also titled with only her first name. Thanks.
Hello Marjorie. Jupiter turns retrograde tomorrow. I believe I read something you recently wrote about a planet (on first hit backwards during retro motion) is the time of biggest impact. I’d be interested in reading info on the 3 retrograde phases and how their motion impact events. I enjoy reading your insights.
I’m strongly and suddenly feeling the effects of Jupiter retrograde, Mercury retrograde and Urranus backing into Taurus.
Hi Marjorie,
You were right; the Democrats have caved and at least 8 Democratic U.S. Senators are going to vote with the Republicans to re-open the government.
The Democrats didn’t get the Obamacare enhanced subsidies extension they had hoped for. This means 24 million people will be unable to afford health insurance next year.
It looks like Trump and the Republicans have lucked out once again.
Perhaps this is Democrats’ plan. Republicans have sworn over and over they would only vote for health credits after the government is re-opened. Now it is being re-opened.
Imagine the government being reopened and Republicans still refusing to fund health care credits. That is on them. Entirely on them. And they will pay for it at midterms.
As for Democrats, yes, they caved. But they did several things with this shutdown.
First, they brought attention to the health care credits.
Two, they demonstrated to the Republicans that the health care credits are popular and Republicans will be blamed of they are suspended (look at the polls where Republicans were blamed more for the shutdown than Democrats).
Third, they made red states feel actual pain (I live in a red state). So far, Trump has punished blue states by sending troops and withholding aid. Seeing lines at food donation centers in red states has demonstrated that red states can also suffer under Trump, and because many red state voters are deliberately ignorant and believe Trump would bring about a golden age of prosperity are shocked that their lives are much worse than they ever were under Biden.
Four, by opening the government, the Epstein files are now back before the House for a vote. So Trump is running out of options to keep the files secret. (There are reports they are much, much worse than people think they are).
Democrats are not fools, and are playing the public just as Trump has done. With the economy getting bleaker, the mood of the country souring, and the probability of a new scandal coming out (I suspect evidence to come out around March 2026, just in time for the midterms to start in force). And if it is true that Trump is a child predator during his time with Epstein, then we will see whether the Republican party has any redeeming qualities left or if it is time to throw them to the scrap pile of history.
@Allyn, well said. I would have preferred that the Dems hold out longer. But the cruelty of the Trump administration in denying food aid to 42 million low income Americans and withholding pay from government employees had reached the intolerable level.
Dems have a low tolerance for deliberate cruelty.
Marjorie, could you look at the significance of November 9th in German history?
On that day, the German monarchies cane to an end (1918), the Nazis carried out Kristallnacht-Night of the Broken Glass (1938) and the Berlin Wall came down (1989).
Given that it’s the same day, I presume it will be the position of the Sun that’s relevant. But on what chart?
On November 9th, the Sun exacts an opposition to the Pluto on the Germany 1871 chart.
Looking at the Uranus/Pluto conjunction which had its peak in 1965/1966 – it is possible to review these two planets with how they are working in 2026 in the U.K. 1891 Chart – as it 60 years – secondary progression – an astrological sextile to that conjunction ? This was the time when Britain appeared to throw out its past – completely – a revolution (Uranus) , destroying everything(Pluto)? Yet we appear to be imploding now?
1891 Chart.
My fingers in the small keypad – 1801!
The 1965 conjunction (18 Virgo) squared the UK Mercury and sextiled the Neptune.
Perhaps of interest as well – the 1066 chart has Saturn, ruling the MC, at 16 Virgo, and Nodes 20 Virgo. So the 18 Virgo conjunction sits at the midpoint. The U/P conjunction was part of the many changes happening in society then, and affected the nation’s direction at the Sun, and Capricorn MC from the 6th house of work, health, everyday life?
BBC general director resigned today – the UK Mercury in Sagittarius is squaring the transiting nodes in Virgo/Pisces.
I thought the use of the word ‘have’ in Tims resignation statement about taking responsibility, was revealing. Distancing himself somewhat about the ‘unfairness’ of it all. I assumed he was a Libran, then I saw his Mars placed there:
“Overall the BBC is delivering well, but there have been some mistakes made and as Director-General I have to take ultimate responsibility.”
Hi Marjorie,
And astrological insights regarding Kazakhstan joining the Abraham Accords?
Marjorie, would you consider the future of Trump-serving Fox News? Michael Cohen on his video site features clips of how Fox commentators are defending Trump against allegations of pedophilia — including Jesse Watters saying that if Ghislaine Maxwell says that Trump did nothing wrong, everyone is to believe this convicted sex offender, case closed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XkxxLHkJNA. Even the most diehard, Fox News-fueled Trump supporters must be catching the whiff of sulfur, swampy rot, sheer evil coming from the Epstein emails, let alone the files. Cognitive dissonance is hard to deal with, but I would be grateful if you would check out whether this is growing among Fox viewer/Trump supporters AND whether this will cost Fox News viewers and advertisers. And even the implications for the enabling Murdochs?
The Fox incorporation chart (7 October 1996) is due a Saturn return in March next year.
Oh Chris, you do like giving difficult ones.
The Moon in Virgo at 23 to 29 completes a Grand Octagon tonight (uk time). A star of David 2 Grand Trines, 6 Mystic Rectangles, 4 (almost) kite formations. An approaching Sun/BML conjunction in Scorpio on the 19th. I wonder – if anything – what a Grand Octagon signifies in astrology?
Apparently it’s called a Grand Octile.
I’m so stupid, sorry. It’s a hexagon formation which is made up of six sextiles so a star of David formation. It is called a Grand Sextile and is an extremely rare occurrence. It is supposed to signify harmony and spiritual potential. Well, we need some of that right now.
I very much hope it does signify harmony, or at least spiritual awareness on some level VF. The Scorpio New Moon looks interesting – trine Saturn and Neptune, also Jupiter, and opposing Uranus, which is sextile Neptune. So perhaps surprises, but also some emotional and imaginative energy around?
I’ve met up with some very longstanding friends this week – we’re all scattered so making a plan isn’t that simple. Our emotions were really surfacing, joyful and easy even after a long gap. It felt like some sort of release of our childhood selves. So, point being, something’s in the air.
I was just looking through Marjorie’s previous posts about Trump and the USA and found this quote:
” Looking across the country relationship charts of other politicians who eventually gave into gravity – Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher, General Franco, Richard Nixon, Pinochet, Videla of Argentina – there was a mix of Uranus influences (= freedom) and South Node aspects when they departed. Apart from tr Uranus rattling up the composite Saturn for Trump in 2026/27, what is notable is that the Lunar Eclipse of autumn 2028 will catch Trump’s composite South Node with the USA which may well be significant.”

Not sure if that might mean the doubling down of such energies or the end of a cycle. Given the South Node activity maybe the latter?
Also if I am reading the asteroid symbols right then Trump’s natal Jupiter is conjunct the Trump/USA composite chart’s Juno (the asteroid of marriage and partnership). No wonder MAGA are so devoted to him if that is the case.
An observation I made recently on Keir Starmer’s chart. He has Mars in Cancer. As someone who has this placement myself, this explains why he seems to lack decisiveness and fight at times. Cancer being the sign of the crab – a creature known for sideways movement – means that Mars placed there will often try evasive manoeuvres instead of facing down and taking on a problem. (It also can – at least in my case – express itself as passive aggressiveness). The flipside is that Mars in Cancer does genuinely care about and want to fight for the home environment. But in politics and leadership one really does need to be decisive, and having Mars in this sign perhaps isn’t the best placement for that. Compare with the UK’s greatest ever PM, Clement Attlee, who had his Mars in Capricorn and achieved huge things with his no-nonsense getting on with the job approach.
PS Suggestions that Wes Streeting or Andy Burnham would be improvements on Starmer may be misguided I feel, as both of them have Mars in Pisces, which can be equally indecisive for different reasons. Both Gordon Brown and Theresa May had this placement, and while they seemed quite assured in their previous roles being top dog was not an easy place for either of them.
It wouldn’t be Streeting, as he has a very small majority. His Muslim constituents want him gone. And they form the vast amount of Labour supporters. Unfortunately if anybody is likely to succeed Starmer, it will be someone of the hard left.
Hi Marjorie, I just read an article that said that Hitler’s DNA was recently tested and that he apparently had Kallman Syndrome which “often results in low testosterone levels, undescended testicles and can result in a micropenis”.

Hello Marjorie. Jupiter turns retrograde tomorrow. I believe I read something you recently wrote about a planet (on first hit backwards during retro motion) is the time of biggest impact. I’d be interested in reading info on the 3 retrograde phases and how their motion impact events. I enjoy reading your insights.

Seeing lines at food donation centers in red states has demonstrated that red states can also suffer under Trump, and because many red state voters are deliberately ignorant and believe Trump would bring about a golden age of prosperity are shocked that their lives are much worse than they ever were under Biden.
Four, by opening the government, the Epstein files are now back before the House for a vote. So Trump is running out of options to keep the files secret. (There are reports they are much, much worse than people think they are).
Democrats are not fools, and are playing the public just as Trump has done. With the economy getting bleaker, the mood of the country souring, and the probability of a new scandal coming out (I suspect evidence to come out around March 2026, just in time for the midterms to start in force). And if it is true that Trump is a child predator during his time with Epstein, then we will see whether the Republican party has any redeeming qualities left or if it is time to throw them to the scrap pile of history.
@Allyn, well said. I would have preferred that the Dems hold out longer. But the cruelty of the Trump administration in denying food aid to 42 million low income Americans and withholding pay from government employees had reached the intolerable level.
Dems have a low tolerance for deliberate cruelty.
Marjorie, could you look at the significance of November 9th in German history?
On that day, the German monarchies cane to an end (1918), the Nazis carried out Kristallnacht-Night of the Broken Glass (1938) and the Berlin Wall came down (1989).
Given that it’s the same day, I presume it will be the position of the Sun that’s relevant. But on what chart?
On November 9th, the Sun exacts an opposition to the Pluto on the Germany 1871 chart.
Looking at the Uranus/Pluto conjunction which had its peak in 1965/1966 – it is possible to review these two planets with how they are working in 2026 in the U.K. 1891 Chart – as it 60 years – secondary progression – an astrological sextile to that conjunction ? This was the time when Britain appeared to throw out its past – completely – a revolution (Uranus) , destroying everything(Pluto)? Yet we appear to be imploding now?
1891 Chart.
My fingers in the small keypad – 1801!
The 1965 conjunction (18 Virgo) squared the UK Mercury and sextiled the Neptune.
Perhaps of interest as well – the 1066 chart has Saturn, ruling the MC, at 16 Virgo, and Nodes 20 Virgo. So the 18 Virgo conjunction sits at the midpoint. The U/P conjunction was part of the many changes happening in society then, and affected the nation’s direction at the Sun, and Capricorn MC from the 6th house of work, health, everyday life?
BBC general director resigned today – the UK Mercury in Sagittarius is squaring the transiting nodes in Virgo/Pisces.
I thought the use of the word ‘have’ in Tims resignation statement about taking responsibility, was revealing. Distancing himself somewhat about the ‘unfairness’ of it all. I assumed he was a Libran, then I saw his Mars placed there:
“Overall the BBC is delivering well, but there have been some mistakes made and as Director-General I have to take ultimate responsibility.”
Hi Marjorie,
And astrological insights regarding Kazakhstan joining the Abraham Accords?
