Michelle Obama was conspicuous by her absence from Jimmy Carter’s funeral and evidently does not intend to attend Trump’s Inauguration. Reasons proffered in the media are that she does not do hypocrisy and refuses to put on a false smile to applaud a man who has directly insulted them and she thinks is a danger to democracy. Barack is reckoned to be a supporter of ‘unity’. [LBJ’s “Better inside the tent p***ing out than outside pi**ing in.”]
Michelle certainly harbours a strong hostility to Trump with an aggravated composite Saturn Venus opposition Mars in their relationship chart – with the composite Sun at 9 Aries catching the Solar Eclipses right through late 2024 and most of 2025 for rolling jolts plus another from tr Uranus square the composite Pluto before mid year.
Her Saturn (Moon) in Aquarius opposes DT’s bombastic Mars in Leo and her Capricorn Sun opposes DT’s Saturn – aggravating and chilly.
Barack and Trump’s relationship chart has a forced acceptance composite Saturn trine Pluto; and a suspicious, doubt-ridden, chilly composite Sun Uranus squaring a Saturn opposition Neptune. Not exactly cosy but the dislike is more battened down.
Michelle is looking horror struck at the moment with tr Uranus opposition her Mars/Pluto midpoint till mid March; and has a frustratingly stuck trapped, fearful tr Pluto conjunct her Mars from this March on and off till late 2026. Plus a confused, devastating SA Pluto conjunct her Neptune in 2027.
Barack has his Solar Arc Midheaven conjunct his Jupiter in coming months so looks less stressed; though tr Uranus moving into his 4th house before mid 2025 will be unsettled domestically and where the family is concerned. He does look emotionally on edge with tr Uranus moving to conjunct his 4th house Gemini Moon in 2026/27; and even before then tr Neptune Saturn square his 5th house Venus in Cancer from mid 2025 into 2026. Plus a considerably jolt where partnerships are concerned in 2026 from SA Mars square his 7th house Uranus.
He has tr Saturn heading for the nadir of his First Quadrant so he won’t be as motivated or ambitious as in the past and will be keen to step back and give personal matters more attention.
There’s no verified birthtime for Michelle though Starkman puts it at 1.56am which puts her at a different phase of life career-wise to Barack. But she also has a few emotional ups and downs coming with tr Uranus square her Moon (?) soon and then square her 4th house Venus after mid 2025.
There could be strains on their relationship through this year and the next several, with their composite Venus opposition Sun square Saturn feeling the full weight of tr Pluto hard aspects through till late 2029. Plus aggravations this year with tr Uranus opposition the Mars and tr Uranus square the composite Pluto in 2026/27. So very rock n’ roll and not in tune.
Following Melania’s template?
Hi. There are murmurs that they are divorcing and announcing soon.
Transiting Pluto in Aquarius will transit their Composite Chart’s South Node next year and square their Sun in Scorpio . A doubly whammy, with deep emotions surfscing. Which may indicate a divorce from a past union . An end of a physical union. Pluto comes close to a complete transit this year, a split first than a divorce next year?
Living in that goldfish bowl isn’t made for most folk.
In her natal she has Uranus, r4th, square Trump, in 4th…..”A desire to
be free of Trump in any home setting.”
How was attending Carter’s funeral applauding Trump? I can understand inauguration, but not really this.
Perhaps because she knew the seating arrangements at the funeral and realised her close proximity to Trump!
@Ken, yes, she would have been seated by Trump’s side. Definitely not something she would have been capable of doing in a respectable way. I also am fairly certain she approached them privately. I remember she talked directly with both Carters and Amy Carter about her experience at WH, since her daughters were the same age going there as Amy. This is also likely the reason she always liked George W., it’s well known how gracious they were helping her to navigate this part of her public life.
