The US Treasury manages government revenue, collects federal taxes through the IRS and manages U.S. government debt. It is headed by a secretary of the treasury, who is a member of the Cabinet, presently Scott Bessent, an investor and hedge fund manager, a major donor, fundraiser, and economic advisor for Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.
The US Treasury chart, 2 September 1789, has a Sun Mercury in Virgo widely opposition Saturn in Pisces for practicality and detail. But it also has an expansive, confident/overly confident Jupiter opposition Pluto square a Scorpio North Node which makes sense of a financial body with considerable power.
There is also a yod of Saturn inconjunct Neptune sextile Jupiter which requires self-discipline and maturity to operate well. That critically aspected Saturn is moving by Solar Arc to square the Jupiter opposition Pluto by mid to late 2026 suggesting a life-changing/history-changing crisis of enormous proportions – which will damp enthusiasm and confidence. The Solar Arc Sun will also be in a disruptive square to the Uranus in 2026 with tr Pluto square the Uranus in 2027/28 – again pointing to turbulence, upheaval and turmoil.
Scott Bessent has his Leo Sun conjunct Uranus sextile Mars in late Gemini – keen on money and speculation, volatile, innovative, not overly respectful of rules and regulations especially as his Uranus is conjunct Pluto and his Pluto is in a rules-don’t-apply-to-me opposition to Jupiter.
He looks exceptionally uneasy moving ahead with a jolting tr Uranus square his Sun on and off till early 2026. Plus a panicky-failure tr Neptune square his Mars again on and off into early 2026. Plus an explosive SA Mars conjunct his Uranus this year; and worse his Solar Arc Jupiter opposition Pluto colliding in hard aspect to his Neptune this year – that latter suggests over confidence leading to a scandal/or or a calamitous disappointment. Tr Uranus will square his Uranus and then Uranus/Pluto midpoints until it reaches his Pluto in 2028 – so a turbulent passage ahead. 2027/28 look discouraging and deprived with tr Pluto conjunct his Saturn.
His relationship chart with Trump is essentially unstable and then some, riddled with suspicion and rumbling with suppressed anger, with a composite Saturn opposition Neptune square Uranus, Sun, Mars; with an admittedly confident Pluto trine Jupiter. There’ll be an upheaval or two between them mid March to early April 2025 and some disappointed hopes through this year into early 2026. But nothing too dramatic (without his birth time).
What is obscure but interesting is that the Bessent/Trump relationship chart, like the Trump/USA relationship chart has composite planets hovering around Procyon, the Fixed star, indicating a rise and then a fall.
Trump’s financial track record hardly inspires confidence in his ability to manage the country’s coffers competently or honestly.
