There are lawsuits pending against Donald Trump for his now defunct Trump University (after early complaints renamed hastily as Trump Entrepreneur Initiative). See url: http://goo.gl/Wa2ARv

His Solar Return for June 2015 does have Pluto in the 9^th which can be legal wrangles as well making him more opinionated than usual. What might upset his applecart is tr Uranus square his Saturn in Cancer in late May/June and September which will be a considerable jolt for his future plans and his place out in the wider society.

Plus all the success/confidence and over-confidence influences focus around his 2^nd house Jupiter with tr Pluto square and Solar Arc Pluto conjunct Jupiter. Pluto Jupiter can certainly bring a tremendous boost but it can prompt individuals to think laws don’t apply to them and backfire badly.

He’s got a fair run of high anxiety/insecure and enfuriating influences which could push him into over-reacting, from early May consistently right through till the election as tr Uranus bounces off several Mars midpoints.

Trump University as it was launched on May 23 2005 has Venus in Gemini opposition Pluto square Mars (conjunct Uranus) – which is seductively persuasive and ruthless. There’s high anxiety on that chart from mid this month onwards; with a major jolt as tr Uranus squares the Saturn in Cancer (exactly same degree as Trump’s) late May into June this year.

Just as a footnote: What Chris Christie was doing supporting Trump is anyone’s guess since they are hardly well matched. CC’s Sun Pluto in Virgo squares Trump’s 10^th house Uranus; CC’s Mars in Cancer is conjunct DT’s Mercury; and CC’s Uranus is conjunct DT’s Mars Ascendant. So really at cross purposes. That translates in the relationship chart to an argumentative composite Sun Mars conjunction in an aggravated-dislike square to Saturn

The Republican Party grandees are gradually coming to realise that they may be saddled with Donald Trump as a candidate, a prospect they’d have keeled over laughing cynically about a few months back.

There are two charts for the GOP – 6 July 1854 and 28 February 1854.  On both, The GOP Neptune in Pisces sits in Trump’s 7^th house square his 10^th house maverick Uranus, so a highly-strung connection with little trust on either side.  The GOP’s Saturn in both charts sits in Trump’s 10^th so the Party will try to discipline him and curtail his wilder excesses.

The relationship charts between Trump and both GOP charts has very visible Saturn Pluto markers which tends to indicate a relationship chained together by circumstances which causes resentment. Which sounds about right. And the composite Neptune opposes Pluto Saturn – so doubt, suspicion, paranoia. With the composite Mars highlighted – so angry.

Over the 2017 Inauguration the tr Saturn in Sagittarius square Mars in Pisces will hard aspect the composite (Saturn) Pluto opposition Neptune which suggests deep gloom. Though that could be argued either way. They are appalled at the prospect of four years of the Donald; or they blame him for losing the election. Whichever – it looks a very unhappy partnership.

George Nichopoulos, the doctor known by some fans as the man who killed Elvis Presley, has died. In the final seven months of Presley’s life, he prescribed more than 10,000 pills in the singer’s name, including sedatives, amphetamines and narcotics. He was later acquitted of being criminally responsible for Presley’s 1977 death. He had been a brother and father figure to Presley and a central figure in his inner circle, trying with little success to get the singer to exercise and to adopt a sensible diet.

Born 29 October 1927 in Ridgway, Pennsylvania, he was an ultra-determined Sun Mars in Scorpio which was trine Elvis’s Pisces Moon (conjunct Saturn).  GN’s Sagittarius Moon fell just below Elvis’s Ascendant, making him seem like a nurturing figure.  Though GN’s Pluto also fell in Elvis’s 8^th so he would also be controlling.

That would certainly fit Elvis’s pattern since he natally had an 8^th house Pluto opposition Sun. So he’d attract himself to dominating figures, like his manager, Colonel Tom Parker and GN.

The Elvis/GN relationship chart was tumultuous with hints of ruthlessness – Pluto opposition Jupiter Saturn (Moon) square Mars – so there would quite a tussle between them as to who had the upper hand.

Stray thoughts on Saturn and Pluto which come together as a conjunction in 2019. But also dominate the US Presidential Election 2016 chart, with each planet sitting on the point of a T Square.

* Two tough, essentially masculine energies.

* Saturn’s great strength in stability and structure is also a weakness when faced with situations demanding flexibility and compromise. Pluto in a slightly different way is also incapable of giving way gracefully. A world view based solely on power sees only the victorious or the oppressed. There can be no quarter given when compromise is seen as a sign of weakness, a lowering of defences as potentially life-threatening.

* Freedom of choice is not a Saturn–Pluto concept, so beliefs that do not fall in line with the established order, come under pressure.

The result of the Ireland election, still to be finalised, looks like being almost a dead heat between the two main parties with Sinn Fein getting their best ever result in fourth place. Counting won’t finish until tomorrow at the earliest.

Despite acknowledging that the recent coalition will not continue, Enda Kenny, the present leader, 24 April 1951, looks fairly upbeat once the dust settles into March.  He has a catastrophe-ridden tr Uranus square Mars/Pluto now but that disappears by March 14^th, by which time (from March 6th) tr Pluto will be in a pushily confident square to his Sun/Jupiter midpoint; with tr Uranus conjunct his Mars/Jupiter from April 2^nd which will bring him luck and relief from tension. After mid March also he loses the undermining tr Neptune square Jupiter/Pluto. So there may be extended wrangling.

Micheal Martin, the Opposition leader, has an upbeat tr Pluto square Sun/Jupiter but that disappears after March 5^th; by which time he picks up the highly frustrating and enraging tr Pluto opposition Mars/Pluto.

Gerry Adams, the Sinn Fein leader, 6 Oct 1948, looks to be making progress this year with tr Uranus opposition his Jupiter/Pluto from mid March onwards. He has a few downers; but by 2017 he looks quietly confident and will be gaining ground.

Charles de Gaulle, leader of the Free French resistance in World War 11 and a dominant President in the years following, dialogues with Philippe Petain, Nazi-collaborator and head of the Vichy Government, later tried for treason, in a new London play. The Patriotic Traitor.

What is fascinating is De Gaulle’s chart, 22 Nov 1890 4am Lille, France since he had, like Hitler, the emblematic Neptune Pluto conjunction in Gemini of their generation in the 8^th. Winston Churchill also had Neptune and Pluto in the 8^th though not conjunct. The 8^th house does have a mysterious quality of being able to project an aura and have a profound unseen influence on the masses, especially Pluto. All three war leaders in different ways were able to rouse the citizenry to fight for their country.

De Gaulle also had Mars Jupiter in Aquarius which has a crusading streak in trine to his Neptune Pluto.  Winston Churchill had Mars Jupiter in Libra with Jupiter opposition his Neptune – so equally good at rousing enthusiasm.

De Gaulle’s Scorpio Sun fell in the France 10^th conjunct the Fr Mars MC and his Mars Jupiter fell in the France 1^st house. Similarly Winston Churchill’s  Air sign Mars Jupiter fell in the UK’s 1^st house – so both were crucial to keeping national morale high.

When war broke out De Gaulle’s Solar Arc Pluto Neptune were about to cross his MC into his 10^th, with tr Pluto already there – so a time of increasing influence. Tr Uranus was just into his 8^th with tr Saturn following behind so the war years were intense, upsetting and life-changing.

Neptune Pluto has a megalomaniac streak which is probably a necessity in war leaders. All three were difficult personalities and De Gaulle was certainly arrogant.

The other with Neptune Pluto in the 8^th was King George VI, who although a self-effacing personality, stood rock solid throughout the 1940s.

Petain is less interesting, 24 April 1856 10.30pm Cauchy a La Tour, France, though he had a control/be controlled Sun Pluto in Taurus in his 5^th; and a wobbly Saturn in Gemini square Jupiter Neptune in Pisces. He became Head of the Vichy Government on his Uranus Return when he was 84. He was convicted of treason, saved from the death penalty and died in prison aged 95.

The marriage everyone said would never work but lasted over forty happy years and produced three children was between a seemingly mismatched couple. Freda Bernstein, orphaned at 5, met and fell in love with composer Lennox Berkeley, 20 years her senior, who was a lover of Benjamin Britten amongst others. Her influence over him led to him breaking away from Britten emotionally and culturally and he produced more cheerful and optimistic music as a result; and she ran a successful salon which encouraged many young musicians and artists.

Born 25 May 1923, she was an airy Sun Mercury in Gemini trine Saturn in Libra, sextile musical Neptune in Leo; with her steadfast and charming Venus in Taurus sextile Pluto and opposition Jupiter. She also had a wide Yod of Saturn sextile Neptune inconjunct Uranus – so would need an unconventional setting before she’d feel she fitted in – and possibly also thrived on the sense of adventure it brought. She said she was the only one who thought it would work. And it did.

Lennox Berkeley, 12 May 1903, was a Sun Taurus with his Venus in Gemini conjunct her Mars; and his Jupiter in Pisces conjunct her Uranus – so there was a spark of passion and a sense of adventure between them. His Jupiter was exactly opposition her Virgo North Node; and her Saturn was conjunct his Libra North Node – so quite a karmic connection with her providing the self-discipline to ensure he brought out the full relationship potential of his North Node.

Their relationship chart had an affectionate composite Sun Venus conjunction; with a wide Mystic Rectangle of Venus opposition Saturn trine/sextile Mars opposition Uranus – so some stability and some rough edges.

Melania Trump, the Slovenian third wife of Donald, a jewellery designer and former model, is being pulled out of obscurity to platform as a possible First Lady.

Born 26 April 1970, she’s a downbeat, tightly controlled Sun Saturn in Taurus trine a Capricorn Moon with her Sun opposition Jupiter; with Venus in late Taurus conjunct Mars in Gemini and Venus trine Pluto and Mars trine Uranus. So she will wobble between optimism and pessimism; can be charming, though also headstrong.

Her chart has several inconjuncts – a Yod of Uranus sextile Neptune inconjunct her Sun; and Mars inconjunct Jupiter – so she will experience a fair amount of strain, the sense of not quite fitting in.

She’s the polar opposite of her husband with his Sun Uranus in Gemini trine Jupiter and a Sagittarius Moon.

2016 looks very edgy for her and roller coaster with one high and several jolting lows.

Her relationship chart with Donald is under serious strain with tr Pluto opposing the composite Mars now and right through till late 2017.

Gaza will explode in Israel’s direction if nothing is done to improve the deteriorating economic situation, said the Israeli head of Military Intelligence. He made it clear that economic improvement will be the most important restraining factor. The United Nations has already forecast a catastrophe.

Gaza, 9 Nov 1917 9am looks undermined this year with tr Neptune square Jupiter; and the tail end of Solar Arc Neptune conjunct Sun. Nothing looks like picking up anytime soon. Tr Neptune moves to oppose the Gaza Virgo Moon in 2017/2018 which is more of the same. Followed by a high-wire Solar Arc Neptune square Uranus in 2019; and a volatile, explosive Solar Arc Uranus square Mars by 2020.  2020 is the point at which tr Pluto will be conjunct the Solar Arc MC – so four years to implosion tragically looks about right.

Actor William Shatner has written about his fifty year friendship with Leonard Nimoy, which started on Star Trek and extended on through their divergent careers and tumultuous personal lives. But mysteriously ended a few years before Nimoy’s recent death.

What is fascinating is that they were born within four days of each other. Shatner, 22 March 1931 4am Montreal, Canada; and Nimoy, 26 March 1931 8.30pm Boston, Massachusetts. So they both had the powerfully confident Jupiter Pluto in Cancer opposition Saturn square Uranus – tough, enduring, innovative, rebels in their way. Shatner has a Cancer Moon and Nimoy had a Taurus Moon.

Nimoy was the more cerebral of the pair with Moon, Jupiter, Pluto Mars in the 9^th; but they were very similar.  Although neither was an easy personality. Tr Uranus has just moved into Uranus when they drifted apart and about to conjunct their composite Sun, which tr Pluto had been hammering at in the previous two years.

Just a pity that Nimoy didn’t live long enough to allow them to come back together again after a sticky patch.
