Re. Trump appointees, not surprisingly, there are now voices of Peter Hegseth nomination to Secretary of Defense has met enough opposition among Republicans for the team to look at options. It has transpired that they are viewing for Ron DeSantis for this role, and Lara Trump for the Senator role left open by Marco Rubio, who I think will be the easiest confirmation as Secretary of State.
It also seems Lara Trump is one of the few Trump World characters whose chart isn’t under major stress in the near future, and Ron DeSantis, despite not being successful running against DJT in 2024, has had good passages that carry to 2025. So however risible this sounds, this might actually happen.
Also, humbling to go to a post from March 2022 and see how much I got wrong about 2024 Elections. I obviously underestimated both Trump’s and Biden’s will to stick to the power. There’s only hoping DeSantis’s good passages in 2029 will be similar to those in 2024, in other words, amounting to little.
Not easy making political predictions. Trump’s trajectory was not at all clear from the astrology apart from Jupiter through his 10th, which can have other meanings than success.
I have never ever liked Joe Biden’s chart – at any level and recent events have confirmed my worst suspicions.
Well, I don’t necessarily dislike Biden’s chart, and actually think there were successful parts to his presidency. I also think that he started with at least half sincere intentions of being an one term president.
But then, things both personal and political happened that derailed that. First midterms tend to be difficult for incumbents, but the 2022 ones were down right disastrous to Democratic Party. Many things that happened were beyond their control, but quite honestly, there were messaging issues completely down to them. And I blame Nancy Pelosi here – she should have retired when winning. I don’t have solid astrology here, but I also think that personal dislike between Nancy and Joe, and especially Jill, was toxic. Imagine Pelosi, who is two and half years older than Biden, and still in it, telling party connections she thinks Joe should retire. I have enough Scorpio (and overload of Cardinal Pluto connections) to know how I would have reacted to that – and it would have been sticking my heels. đ
As for Trump, I read an opinion piece by a generally speaking provocative but insightful columnist about a Finnish popular historian turned MP who shocked people by announcing he’d participate to an extreme right (including bona fide Nazis) march rather than Presidential Reception on Independence Day December 6th, a move condemned by the PM. The sentence that stuck with me was: “He can do this because he doesn’t have any urge to be a politician.” I think it was brilliant and also very telling on why DJT does or doesn’t do things. Smart politicos and even hobbyist like me have spent 10 years on thinking about why DJT does or doesn’t do things in political sense, but it’s obvious he does not think in that way. His re-election campaign wasn’t driven by any policy issue, fear of bankruptcy, or even fear of prosecution in case he didn’t win. It was purely done because he can. In that sense, it’s futile to search for any deeper sense in him nominating who ever he saw the last on Fox News or Mar-a-Lago into an office.
Marjorie, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have moved to england seeking a fesh start amidst reported marriage woes. Any insight into their future?
Iâd be interested in that too.
Astrocartography as well.
No definite birth times for either I am afraid.
I would also vote for a post on the fascinating Donatella Versace, who just debuted an âunrecognizableâ new look.
Just went to check out the photos. She looks more like she did when she was young now. I think she had a brow lift as well as a nose job. I think she looks much better. If you have not seen them you should look at her young photos.
I was really surprised, and I don’t think I like it.
Can we get a portrait of Apple Martin?
Maybe some lighter fare wouldnât go amiss, amidst political gloom.
Wow, wasnât expecting this – itâs all kicking off in South Korea as martial law declared. Is the world edging towards more authoritarianism under Pluto in Aqua?
@Virgoflake, seems like a corrupt, unpopular politician making a last ditch attempt to cling to power, but just got a word from Seoul of tanks being deployed.
Yes, rather foolhardy attempt. Canât Parliament overturn martial law? Apologies, my knowledge of S Korean system is limited.
just been overturned. Martial law ended.
Basic article off BBC.com
“https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0lgw1pw5zpo”
@Virgoflake, I learnt by following Bluesky feed, too, but so proud how how they handled this. Assembled majority of the Parliament within an hour or so, and then unanimously voted to end it right there.
That said, gives more credence of something REALLY being amiss in Russia, with some relatively obscure oligarch being assigned as the person voicing “Putin’s” thoughts on Trump’s peace proposal in Ukraine.
The ruble is now worth less than a penny since the most recent US sanctions were implemented. What will it take for the people there to be compelled to have a change? Yeesh. One of Bidenâs most impressive achievements (not including lowering inflation from 9% to 2%) was the passage of the CHIPS Act. I hope we donât lose it.
Pluto in Aqua is definitely beginning to look interesting!
I recall another astrologer some years ago doing the charts of North and South Korea – they’re about two weeks apart. If I recall correctly, one is relatively nice, the other is harsh; and I think that relates to South and North respectively. Possibly Aug-Sep 1949, maybe 1948 as Saturn moved from Leo to Virgo.
That the Mars Pluto opposition happens to ramble on until April next year is somewhat sobering, makes these events more intriguing and interesting astrology-wise and no doubt we will see more of Mars/Pluto in Leo/Aqua going forward.
With its dual rulership by Saturn and Uranus, Pluto in Aquarius swings between authoritarianism and people power. Glad to see that on this occasion the S Korean democratic system triumphed along with the will of the people. Just watching the footage – what brave people.
Oddly not much showing on SK or even Yoon Suk Yeol’s charts. He’s overly impulsive Sun Moon in Sagittarius with Mars on the focal point of a yod – and evidently lacking in political experience. His relationship with SKorea is v highly strung. I think he may just have flipped.
Thanks Marjorie. Given he is Sun/Moon in Sag and prone to impulsivity, I expect the currently retrograde Mercury/Jupiter opposition in Sagittarius Gemini didnât help.
Marjorie, what do you see for Fauci ahead? I notice transit Saturn is opposite his ascendant and square his midheaven now.
The House COVID Committee has released its final report after a 2-year investigation. My husband stayed up late to read the 200 page report but these are initial findings. Iâll know more later.
– The NIH funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab.
– The Constitution can’t be suspended in times of crisis.
– COVID emerging from a lab leak is “not a conspiracy theory.”
– EcoHealth and Dr. Peter Daszak should “never again” receive taxpayer funds.
– Public health officials have lost the trust of the people.
– The COVID response was “rampant” with fraud, waste and abuse.
– “The prescription cannot be worse than the disease,” lockdowns had horrific consequences.
Thanks Larry, there is so much more to the report. I do believe vaccines have a good use but this one failed in multiple areas and people need to be held accountable.
We’ll have to wait for the outcome of this vote:
“French Prime Minister Michel Barnier faces a vote of no confidence in his minority government after using special powers to push through a social security budget bill without a vote by MPs.
The government is unlikely to survive the vote, which was triggered this afternoon by the radical left France Unbowed (LFI) opposition party and Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally (RN).
It is likely to take place on Wednesday.” BBC website 2/12
As Marjorie has previously noted, France is all over the place. Of interest is the Treaty of Rome, 25 March, 1957. The lunar eclipses in Pisces and Virgo sensitise its Jupiter, 23 Virgo, while the Aries/Libra solar eclipses are close to the Asc/Desc in Libra/Aries, plus Mercury 9 Aries. Pluto approaches the Moon at 2 Aquarius opposing Uranus 2 Leo. There are also Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus transits brewing. Along with problems elsewhere (Germany, for example) I can’t help wondering whether we’re looking at an off the wall black swan event, or simply the “events, dear boy, events” scenario unravelling in the coming months. It does all feel increasingly fragile.
Micron quack quack⊠what is the astrology for being a cooked duck
Marjorie, could you please take a look at Kash Patel, Trump’s retribution and vengeance-minded nominee for FBI director? I found a birthdate of 25 February 1980, Garden City, NY, but don’t know where to look for a birth time. He’s extremely controversial and of course unqualified for the job except for his extremism.
Will he actually become FBI director, which would require Chris Wray (17 December 1966, New York City, NY) to resign from his 10-year term or Trump to fire him.
Thanks!
If you do look at Patel, could you also please look at the likelihood of the success of Trump’s campaign of vengeance and retribution and the potential ramifications? Are there astrological markers of such efforts?
Thanks!
I was just looking at Patel’s planets. Won’t tell what I saw now, other than that he seems bit of an odd fish (pun intended) at the Trump World. Very interested on Marjorie’s opinion on him, too.
So – the theme of Starmer’s govt seems to be Death.
Remove the Winter Fuel Allowance so the old die of cold. Inheritance tax on farms, so dead people’s farms can be bought by Blackrock, instead of going to the children. Now Assisted Suicide with the legislation explicitly banning Coronor Inquests in these cases, so the NHS can off people without being sued.
I looked at Starmer’s chart; he has Saturn at 6 Aquarius quincunx Mars at 7 Cancer. Transiting Pluto is approaching a conjunction with his Saturn.
If you draw an orb of 4 degrees, Starmer has a yod/finger of God with Mars sextile Sun (& Pluto) both inconjunct Saturn.
And Tr Pluto being in conjunction with the planet in focus (Saturn), it likely activates the whole yod.
Starmer also has quite a few planets at the early degrees of many signs and many of them will be getting impacted by Pluto’s entry in Aquarius.
Having said that, I would point out that the assisted dying bill is not a government bill, but a private members bill, brought forward by a backbencher and debated and passed on a Friday, when the government does not control the time. Members of both the government and opposition voted on both sides in the vote.
Hi Marjorie,
I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind taking another astrological look at Nicaragua.
It’s been reported by Jurist News that the legislature in Nicaragua has unanimously approved of constitutional reforms to allow Daniel Ortega and his wife, Rosario Murillo, more power and for them to rule as a “co-presidency.”
Ortega and Murillo will now have more authority over the police and the military.
According to The Guardian, Ortega and Murillo now have “absolute power” in Nicaragua and arbitrarily arrests and banishment for dissenters has been approved.
Any insight into Australia’s recent ban on under 16 year olds banned from social media? Interested as a we are in Pluto in Aquarius and Saturn in Pisces (the internet’s saturn return).
Interesting and I like it although I can bet many parents not going to uphold that.
Your question coincides with a preview I just saw in the UK for a programme to be aired on Channel 4 from Dec 11, which is an experiment to ban under 16s’ smart phones at a school for 21 days. It showed when the announcement is made to them, got their first comments, followed them and keep getting feedback so it looks/sounds very interesting. Not sure of the age range for it. I do think something like this needs to happen and when I hear about parents buying 5-6 year old phones with access to social media etc … I think ……. brain and its cognitive processes not even developed yet and they are being exposed ….. hmmm!
Marjorie,
The assisted dying bill passed today under mercury retrograde. Will it go all the way through to become law?
It is would be interesting to see the chart of the exact time is passed.
I think it was around 2:22-2:24PM?
A comment I found on YouTube:
ââš Astrological Fact: Mars is about to go retrograde. Mars is our speed conquering things in life. So itâs perfect how Spirit guided you to do this reading because a lot of people is going to feel like “nothing worksâ or âeverythingâs slowâ for the next months and until April (this happens every 2 years). So letâs receive this beautiful guidance and beware that itâll be with us for 5 months aprox. Thank you Reem âïžâ
Worth having in mind.
And Venus will go retrograde too, and thatâs money. Worth to save for a rainy day.
And of course Mercury is going retrograde as well.
It has been forecast that on 20th January, America will be go retrograde, back to the time when heads of state were above the law.
Greg Wallace the latest BBC TV celebrity to be called out for unpleasant behaviour. What’s his chart look like?
GD: can you elaborate on the “behavior”?
GD: never mind. Marjorie has responded.
Musk and Drompf – a bro’mance better than w/Putin?
CNN posted a brief political assessment today (“https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/27/politics/video/trump-elon-musk-haberman-ac360-digvid”) claiming that all may be well in Camelot. This t-bones into the Musk astrology assessment –
“He also has tr Uranus moving to hard aspect his Jupiter Neptune opposition Saturn from spring 2023 on into 2026 which will be an exceptionally rocky ride and dent a few of his high hopes. Running into a dead-halt meltdown by 2026/27 from SA Pluto square his Mars.
His relationship chart with Trump looks extremely uncertain and undermined now right through till early 2026 with tr Neptune square the composite Sun Saturn conjunction. Late December to mid March 2025 looks especially jangled.”
May be splitting hairs or looking too closely, and it all falls apart as you’ve mentioned in the past. Essentially: wait and see?
@larryc, Haberman is the worst example of brainless access journalism I can think of, but she did offer one way people loose favor in the Trump World: By getting bad press. Elon’s Cybertrucks combusting or rockets exploding at launch, that being shown on Fox News and affecting Elon’s companies’ stock would reflect poorly to his standing at WH.
There’s also a tidpit in her longer co-authored story that sheds some light on Trump’s decline: There now is an aide who has been with Trump campaign since 2022 who writes ALL his Truth Social posts. During his first presidency, it was made clear he wrote big part of them. And when he didn’t, it was him dictating to Dan Scavino Jr. Now, it may be that they’ve dropped some pretence of this since Madeleine Westerhout’s sworn testimony that she typed the tweets after Trump edits, but it also could be a sign of Trump’s continuing decline (person I observe was an avid Whatsapp user until early 2023, now they’ve all but stopped, because after a life time typing, they can’t find letters on QWERTY).
Hi. Maggieâs mother, Nancy Haberman, works for Rubenstein PR, which has represented Fred Trump, Donald Trump and Jared Kushner.
Wow. Now I consider that news.
I also think some of Elon’s voes come from Europe and China. The EU leaders, in general, are not amused with his attics. China, I would presume neither. A death by 1000 little papercuts is also a thing in the Old World.
Thank you, both!
@Solaia
So true, old countries have refined over many centuries the “art” of the death by tiny cuts, it must the wisdom and endurance of Saturn.
@Virginia, it’s reported Elon Musk gets along well with Italy’s Giorgia Meloni. However, when Italy was forced to take back asylum seekers they’d sent to Albania due to judges ruling that unconstitutional, Elon’s tweet on how those judges “should go” didn’t go down well with Italian public.
Another thing Musk doesn’t seem to understand about Europe is that people here don’t vote for politicians, they vote for policies. Politics isn’t a popularity contest, as in seems to be in the US. He is sticking with likes of Meloni and Salvini, not understanding that they could be voted out by their own party, something that’s never going to happen in the US with a candidate able to overperform the party base. Even people who’ve founded their own parties have been ousted here. Trying to be The First Buddy of any elected official in Europe isn’t a winning strategy.
Hi Marjorie,
Please could you look at Nigel Farage’s chart/transits for the next few years?
Thanks
From us in the USA. Happy Thanksgiving and wishing you all a peaceful and fruitful year ahead.
Despite the politicians.
Thank you Carson, what a lovely message.
Hello again. Seems like we are in a âcoldâ Civil War in the US. So many news articles and social media posts about families literally splitting (and in some cases, severing ties) over the election. I know of one family whereby the mother her twenty something daughter voted for KH whereas the two twenty something sons both voted for 45. Itâs like these brothers voted against their sister, IMO. Maybe parallels to the 1860âs with one brother on Confederate side and one on the Union side.
Hi. What will the shift into Nep in Aries mean for the generation of us with Chiron in Aries natally? Warrior energy? Chiron is in my 12th house. I am still not sure which system works for me—natural vs. whole, so this placement could be in my 5th instead. Thank you.
Can you check check Israel&Huzballa crease fire agreement?
I remember back in 2006 looking at the Israel Lebanon ceasefire chart, thinking it could not possibly hold – and it did at least for some years. Not sure this one will be anymore illuminating. Nothing too settled for Israel ahead- tr Uranus conjunct the Sun late December to mid March and tr Uranus square the Mars before mid 2025 and on. Looks v unsettled.
March is looking like a very confused, dissolving Pisces pileup with Mercury and Venus in Pisces retrograde and Mars retro in Cancer robbing energy. Then a Solar eclipse⊠all followed by sign changes for most planets, and consolidated as Saturn travels over the last degrees of Neptune in May.
What are your thoughts on this Marjorie?
Thankfully Mars will be travelling forward in March, even though it remains fallen until mid-April. Admit that this looks a sticky time, though.
France-crunch vote. Markets very rattled. Will the government fall (again…)
If you put France into search there are fairly recent posts indicating a swampy path ahead.
Thanks…spookily accurate….
What will the government response be to that petition for general election. I am looking at it now. It is up to nearly 3 million. It has now got a 4 day response time which is longer. The numbers keep going up and will look worse the longer they wait. I would have thought a quick response at a lower number would have been sensible. How many millions of votes will be on it by May 2025! Eeek!
Given Starmer/Reeves’s current popularity dive, how are things looking for other members of the Labour front bench? Could one of them be in the mood for taking over? I know you’ve said Angela Rayner is looking surprisingly upbeat a year or so hence, but what about Wes Streeting, say? Or someone like the previous long term favourite Manchester mayor Andy Burnham? If Starmer WAS to be ousted, is there anyone who might most likely want to be in the frame?

So – the theme of Starmer’s govt seems to be Death.
Remove the Winter Fuel Allowance so the old die of cold. Inheritance tax on farms, so dead people’s farms can be bought by Blackrock, instead of going to the children. Now Assisted Suicide with the legislation explicitly banning Coronor Inquests in these cases, so the NHS can off people without being sued.
I looked at Starmer’s chart; he has Saturn at 6 Aquarius quincunx Mars at 7 Cancer. Transiting Pluto is approaching a conjunction with his Saturn.

CNN posted a brief political assessment today (“https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/27/politics/video/trump-elon-musk-haberman-ac360-digvid”) claiming that all may be well in Camelot. This t-bones into the Musk astrology assessment –
“He also has tr Uranus moving to hard aspect his Jupiter Neptune opposition Saturn from spring 2023 on into 2026 which will be an exceptionally rocky ride and dent a few of his high hopes. Running into a dead-halt meltdown by 2026/27 from SA Pluto square his Mars.
His relationship chart with Trump looks extremely uncertain and undermined now right through till early 2026 with tr Neptune square the composite Sun Saturn conjunction. Late December to mid March 2025 looks especially jangled.”
May be splitting hairs or looking too closely, and it all falls apart as you’ve mentioned in the past. Essentially: wait and see?
@larryc, Haberman is the worst example of brainless access journalism I can think of, but she did offer one way people loose favor in the Trump World: By getting bad press. Elon’s Cybertrucks combusting or rockets exploding at launch, that being shown on Fox News and affecting Elon’s companies’ stock would reflect poorly to his standing at WH.
There’s also a tidpit in her longer co-authored story that sheds some light on Trump’s decline: There now is an aide who has been with Trump campaign since 2022 who writes ALL his Truth Social posts. During his first presidency, it was made clear he wrote big part of them. And when he didn’t, it was him dictating to Dan Scavino Jr. Now, it may be that they’ve dropped some pretence of this since Madeleine Westerhout’s sworn testimony that she typed the tweets after Trump edits, but it also could be a sign of Trump’s continuing decline (person I observe was an avid Whatsapp user until early 2023, now they’ve all but stopped, because after a life time typing, they can’t find letters on QWERTY).
Hi. Maggieâs mother, Nancy Haberman, works for Rubenstein PR, which has represented Fred Trump, Donald Trump and Jared Kushner.
Wow. Now I consider that news.
I also think some of Elon’s voes come from Europe and China. The EU leaders, in general, are not amused with his attics. China, I would presume neither. A death by 1000 little papercuts is also a thing in the Old World.
Thank you, both!
@Solaia
So true, old countries have refined over many centuries the “art” of the death by tiny cuts, it must the wisdom and endurance of Saturn.
@Virginia, it’s reported Elon Musk gets along well with Italy’s Giorgia Meloni. However, when Italy was forced to take back asylum seekers they’d sent to Albania due to judges ruling that unconstitutional, Elon’s tweet on how those judges “should go” didn’t go down well with Italian public.
Another thing Musk doesn’t seem to understand about Europe is that people here don’t vote for politicians, they vote for policies. Politics isn’t a popularity contest, as in seems to be in the US. He is sticking with likes of Meloni and Salvini, not understanding that they could be voted out by their own party, something that’s never going to happen in the US with a candidate able to overperform the party base. Even people who’ve founded their own parties have been ousted here. Trying to be The First Buddy of any elected official in Europe isn’t a winning strategy.
Hi Marjorie,
Please could you look at Nigel Farage’s chart/transits for the next few years?
Thanks
From us in the USA. Happy Thanksgiving and wishing you all a peaceful and fruitful year ahead.
Despite the politicians.
Thank you Carson, what a lovely message.
Hello again. Seems like we are in a âcoldâ Civil War in the US. So many news articles and social media posts about families literally splitting (and in some cases, severing ties) over the election. I know of one family whereby the mother her twenty something daughter voted for KH whereas the two twenty something sons both voted for 45. Itâs like these brothers voted against their sister, IMO. Maybe parallels to the 1860âs with one brother on Confederate side and one on the Union side.
Hi. What will the shift into Nep in Aries mean for the generation of us with Chiron in Aries natally? Warrior energy? Chiron is in my 12th house. I am still not sure which system works for me—natural vs. whole, so this placement could be in my 5th instead. Thank you.
Can you check check Israel&Huzballa crease fire agreement?
I remember back in 2006 looking at the Israel Lebanon ceasefire chart, thinking it could not possibly hold – and it did at least for some years. Not sure this one will be anymore illuminating. Nothing too settled for Israel ahead- tr Uranus conjunct the Sun late December to mid March and tr Uranus square the Mars before mid 2025 and on. Looks v unsettled.
JonBenĂ©t Ramsey is back in the news. Reading thru the article off CNN doesn’t provide much new.
“https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/27/us/jonbenet-ramsey-killing-netflix-documentary/index.html”
March is looking like a very confused, dissolving Pisces pileup with Mercury and Venus in Pisces retrograde and Mars retro in Cancer robbing energy. Then a Solar eclipse⊠all followed by sign changes for most planets, and consolidated as Saturn travels over the last degrees of Neptune in May.
What are your thoughts on this Marjorie?
Thankfully Mars will be travelling forward in March, even though it remains fallen until mid-April. Admit that this looks a sticky time, though.
France-crunch vote. Markets very rattled. Will the government fall (again…)
If you put France into search there are fairly recent posts indicating a swampy path ahead.
Thanks…spookily accurate….
What will the government response be to that petition for general election. I am looking at it now. It is up to nearly 3 million. It has now got a 4 day response time which is longer. The numbers keep going up and will look worse the longer they wait. I would have thought a quick response at a lower number would have been sensible. How many millions of votes will be on it by May 2025! Eeek!
Any insight into the Irish general election which will take place tomorrow? The current Taoiseach, Simon Harris has faced a lot of backlash for a badly handled interaction with a member of the public and there has been a corresponding fall in his and his party (Fine Gael) ratings. While Sinn FĂ©in were losing ground a while ago, there has been a bounce in the last opinion polls. The three main parties, Fine Gael, Fianna FĂĄil, and Sinn FĂ©in, are now neck and neck.
Thank you!
Given Starmer/Reeves’s current popularity dive, how are things looking for other members of the Labour front bench? Could one of them be in the mood for taking over? I know you’ve said Angela Rayner is looking surprisingly upbeat a year or so hence, but what about Wes Streeting, say? Or someone like the previous long term favourite Manchester mayor Andy Burnham? If Starmer WAS to be ousted, is there anyone who might most likely want to be in the frame?
