A ‘binding’ curse was laid on Donald Trump by witchcraft followers in the USA, to rein him in and prevent him from harming any living soul. It will be practiced monthly, with the first at midnight on Feb 24th. There is a tradition of such white magic rituals; and Gerald Gardner writes of a Cone of Power ceremony at the outbreak of the Battle of Britain (Hitler’s attempt to invade England) towards midnight on Lammas Eve 31 July 1940 to hex him into failing, which he duly did. Gardner also mentions similar ceremonies to cause the Spanish Armada (setting out to invade England) to fail in 1588, which was indeed devastated and largely destroyed by a major storm. How much of this is urban legend and retrospective pleading is moot, but intriguing all the same.
The Trump curse has an afflicted/focal point Pluto in the 3rd which is definitely a heavy word being uttered; and Mercury is sextile Saturn and widely sextile Mars Uranus so even more excitable utterances; and two days before the Neptunian Pisces Eclipse with the North Node conjunct the MC located to Washington, DC.
It is – coincidentally or otherwise – just two days before tr Uranus moves to 22 degrees, starting a series of disruptive transits to Trump’s midpoints and Saturn Venus lasting several months.
The 1940 binding curse on Hitler also had a heavily aspected Mercury on the midpoint of Uranus trine Neptune; plus an approaching Sun Pluto conjunction. These were challenging times with the Jupiter Saturn conjunct in Taurus and Uranus also in Taurus. Tr Pluto was just past the conjunction to the UK’s 10th house Jupiter in Leo by less than a degree, so Hitler’s hopes of dashing UK morale were never going to work. And tr Pluto was also moving to conjunct Hitler’s Leo Midheaven starting to chip away at his dominance; with the tr Jupiter Saturn about to conjunct his Venus Mars in Taurus.
There’s no date for any curse on the Spanish Armada but it set out on 8 August 1588 JC when there was again a heavily aspected Mercury trine Saturn, sextiling onto Mars. Neptune oddly enough was at 2 Leo, the same degree as tr Pluto for the Battle of Britain.
Often the ‘power’ of curses lies as much in the susceptibility of the recipient to believe in supernatural powers. So kind of depends on how superstitious Trump is. With Pluto in his 12th he may well be.
A spell-caster does a grounding after a ritual, to bring them out of the mystical world and back into reality. This can involve stomping the feet, singing, talking loudly, dancing. In the case of the Trump spell, it’s advised they laugh. Big hearty laughs, because Trump hates being laughed at!
Wish I were proficient enough to share an astrological insight, Marjorie, but thought you might be amused in any event by a bit of local color. This year, we took a leisurely tour of New England historical sites along the seacoast, and wound up in Salem on October 31. What a scene it was! Our innkeeper said that over a million visitors come to Salem during the Halloween season. The day we were there, we just happened into a solemn procession of the Salem covens, of which there seemed to be many. One of the best-known, the Coven of the Tower of the Nine Bells, appeared to consist of very grounded and civilized New Englanders, many of them in their fifties, sixties, and beyond, looking for all the world like the “excellent women” (and men) in a Barbara Pym novel. I’m delighted they are on Mr. Trump’s case with a binding curse. Thank you, as always, for helping us through these dark days in the U.S. with your astrological insights and explanations.
Mercury is a trickster planet which is often overlooked since it always seems minor. Tr Uranus will square the USA Mercury in Cancer from early April, on and off into 2018.
Very interesting, Marjorie. Although I am curious to know why Mercury seems to be a driving force for disruptions in events and individuals? I thought that was mainly a Uranian quality?
Trump’s binding: Pluto in the 3rd (Mercury’s native home), Mercury sextile Saturn widely sextile Mars & Uranus.
Hitler: Had a heavily aspected Mercury (in it’s native 3rd house) on the midpoint of Uranus trine Neptune.
Spanish Armada: Had a heavily aspected Mercury trine Saturn, sextiling onto Mars (in Mercury’s 3rd house).
Also, didn’t you mention in a previous post that the angry unrest in the USA right now or about to come up is due to Mercury aspecting another planet? If it’s Uranus, I can understand the instability. But, how interesting, Hermes’ influence is right there in all of it. I always thought of his influence as flighty, questioning, hard to pin down, obviously mercurial where his name sake originates, but not exactly known for his devastating impact in the way Pluto, Saturn, and Uranus can be. Or am I seeing something that really isn’t there?
Thanks 🙂
