US Presidents – beware final degrees

Assassination attempts on the president of the United States have been numerous, ranging from the early 19th century to the present day

Four sitting U.S. presidents have been killed: Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield, William McKinley, and John F. Kennedy. Ronald Reagan was wounded and survived. Theodore Roosevelt was wounded as a former president. Donald Trump was wounded in an assassination attempt in between his two terms and escaped another attempt unscathed three days ago, but there have been several other security scares involving him as well.

  What is curious is how often Uranus or another planet was in a final degree. This latest it was at 29 Taurus. For Reagan it was at 29 Scorpio. J.F.K Sun at 29 Scorpio. Abraham Lincoln Jupiter 29 Sagittarius. Theodor Roosevelt Uranus 29 Capricorn. Gerald Ford, 1st assassination attempt, Uranus 29 Libra. William McKinley, Chiron at 29 Sagittarius. James Garfield, Pluto at 28 Taurus. Trump’s first assassination attempt Neptune at 29 Pisces.

The anaretic degree (29°) tends to bring a sense of urgency, a now or never leap which may be misjudged. A dither-and-dash approach in an individual chart. Some link it to fame or recognition. In transits I tend to regard the final degree as the swansong of an old era, often having an impulsive push to have an effect before fading into the past, and on occasion marginally vengeful as well.

 Planets in first decan Cardinal signs also proliferate. This recent Trump attempt has Mars, Saturn, Neptune in Aries, while Reagan’s had Venus, Sun, Mars in Aries opposition Saturn Jupiter in Libra. Abraham Lincoln’s had Neptune in early Aries square Mars in early Cancer. William McKinley’s had Saturn Jupiter conjunct in early Capricorn opposition Neptune in Cancer. J.F.K’s had Jupiter in Aries conjunct Eris.  James Garfield had a Cancer Sun. Theodor Roosevelt’s had North Node, Sedna, Chariklo in first decan Aries and Pluto at zero Cancer. Gerald Ford’s 2 attempts had Pluto in early Libra.

 The similarities are striking.

  The early Cardinal placings of the above will have been in hard aspect to the USA chart’s Venus, Jupiter, Sun in Cancer.  At the moment tr Neptune Saturn in Aries is squaring those planets – tr Saturn till early 2027 and tr Neptune into the early 2030s. The USA Eris, planet of discord, at 8 Capricorn will also have been rattled up at the assassination attempts.

The fates spin in mysterious ways.

  1. It’s really amazing how similar the assassination attempts look on former US presidents.. But with Trump anything is possible, you never know if he staged some of these assassination attempts on him, since he likes to play victim. Maybe because the midterms are around the corner and he is aware that his ratings are low, he thinks the voters will sympathise again and vote for him, I don’t think the trick will work this time around.

    But looking at his birth chart, he is still in a dangerous zone and not out of the woods yet. Lucky for him he has survived April month as per astrology, but the August eclipse is the one which he must watch his back. That one looks more potent than the February one on his chart.

  2. His Pluto, in the 9th House of long trips…he went from Los Angeles to Washington.
    His Pluto was “At the Bends”..i.e square his natal Nodal axis….key words for
    “bendings” include crisis, and unwelcome and unexpected change which may be
    stressful for the indivdual to cope with.
    I have found that repeatedly that the occurrence of the True Lunar Nodes
    stationing in a Solar Return correlates with a major and memorable life event
    often of a stressful nature and not uncommonly involving bodily injury or illness.
    The nodes are eclips points and can kill.
