Trump Term revisited as it sidles towards its first ‘victory’ – a tax bill the FT describes as ‘the most bogus and politically cynical tax plan in recent memory. This is Reaganomics with all the downside and none of the upside.’ If it ultimately passes, it will create a fiscal mess and deficit that America will be digging itself out of for the next 30 years.
The Term chart does have Saturn in the 8th, often found in bankers’ and financiers’ charts. The 8th house rules business finances and taxes and Saturn always favours the establishment. The control-freak focal point Pluto in a pushy square to Jupiter also doesn’t help to make this an equal opportunities administration. The Term Pluto being 9th house also points to a deluge of legal tangles creating hostility.
The Mueller Investigation is circling closer to the family with Jared Kushner’s name cropping up and Trump seemingly distancing himself from his son-in-law. Kushner, 10 January 1981 will be feeling precarious and unloved at the moment with tr Uranus in a disruptive opposition to his Pluto now and January and tr Saturn conjunct his Venus. Then tr Pluto is conjunct his Capricorn Sun from early February till late 2019, which will be a punishingly challenging time of great pressure. With major hiccups in May; and on a catastrophic downhill slide from mid 2018 onwards for 18 months with tr Neptune square his Mars/Pluto midpoint.
Ivanka looks confidence-dented this month but with more glimmerings of light than Jared, from tr Uranus opposition her Jupiter/Pluto till early February; though when he’s under most pressure she has tr Pluto square her Jupiter/Saturn midpoint, which usually means career and status changes, losses, restrictions – and that’s from Feb 2018 to late 2019, on and off.
Mike Pence may also be caught in the Mueller trap. He’s feeling the pressure of unsettling change this month and January with tr Uranus square his Sun/Pluto; worsening in January with tr Pluto in a disastrous square to his Mars/Saturn, on and off till the year end. March has career losses. And from May onwards his prospects look even dimmer with tr Neptune starting to square his Gemini Sun for 18 months; and tr Uranus squaring his Venus for an emotional shock, repeating in 2019. Plus a ‘shocking collision’ from Solar Arc Sun conjunct his Uranus from later in 2018 to early 2019.
I would have my doubts if Trump falls off his perch whether Pence would be in a position to step up.
Agree that Trump isn’t going anywhere soon. The nightmare continues….maybe even for two terms. Wouldn’t surprise me. The man was coated with Teflon at birth.
Slight worry is tr Pluto trine his MC in 2020/21 – but he’s got a few major mountains to climb before he gets there, if he does.
Solaia, no, the leak saying Special Counsel Robert Mueller did not subpoena President Trump’s bank records from Deutsche Bank. Never happened. Another leak that never happened is Paul Manafort did not ghostwrite an op-ed with a “Russian-Intel-Connected Official”. Again, never happened. Real leaks with false info. Why? The apparatus behind the top tiers of the affected intelligence groups are flushing out leakers and “black hats”. At least they are trying to. Seeding false information into the blood stream of a closed unit within the organization; then waiting to see if/where/when it turns up is a specific way to identify leakers and black hats. Trump isn’t going down anytime soon. He has a progressed mid heaven to Saturn conjunction coming soon so he should be recognized for his achievements. At same time his progressed Venus which rules his midheaven will conjunct Jupiter, which if anything is quite lucky and can show a favorable response towards him. Please, no cheering like Joyless Behar did the other day as she read more false news about Trump. He’s not done yet, it’s going to be a long wait if anyone is expecting news that he’s soon be gone.
Deb, sources that say the leak was false; no subpoena: FOX, Trump’s lawyer
Sources that say Deutsche Bank was subpoena’d: BBC, ABC< NBC< CBS, Washington Post, Newsweek, Wall Street Journal, and on and on.
Guess we will have to wait and see who has it right.
Deutsche Bank turned over Trump’s records to Mueller. Can we cheer like “Joyless Behar” now?
Shirley, next in line is Paul Ryan, speaker of the House, who was widely respected until he became another Trump toady.
Who, I’ve been saying for some time, will be POTUS before loosing his Congressional Seat his transits for November 2018 seem to indicate (his seat is on Rust Belt, and he has a local Union Ironworker running against him). Some say he too is in jeopardy with GOP financing, but I don’t think so. Mueller just subpoenaed Deutsche Bank, meaning he is now looking at Trump’s finances, possibly a reason for collaborating with Russians.
One wonders how long this can go on for and if Pence is going down with the sinking ship, who’ll take over next? It’s a real worry because one politician seems to be worse than the other.
That applies to this side of the Atlantic too with Arlene Foster holding Theresa May to ransom. It just beggar’s belief that the DUP with the ”baggage” that they carry seems to be calling the shots.
Theresa May sitting have lunch with Juncker, grinning amicably across the table at each other, when Arlene calls. May rushes off. ”Frantic calls take place between Brussels and Belfast – STV news” and then the Prime Minister of the UK returns with her tail between her legs and tells Juncker ”the deals off, because Arlene says so.” Arlene and the DUP that used ‘dark money’ in an attempt to influence hundreds of thousands of people to vote for Brexit on the mainland.
I reckon that the United Kingdom is finished now thanks to the cabal of corrupt, inept, narcissistic politicians at Westminster / NIreland. I wonder what the Queen makes of it all? Seeing the Empire that she inherited reduced to this?
If you get the time Marjorie could you take a look at her chart? Arlene Foster’s.
Fake News ! Trump’s lawyer announced Trump is not only above the law, HE IS THE LAW.
It’s circling the drain faster and faster…
Another point of interest: the Mars cycle. The most recent Sun-Mars conjunction was late July, before the Great American Eclipse, at four Leo: the very place of Pence’s natal Mars. The previous Sun-Mars conjunction, in June 2015, coincided with Trump’s declaration of candidacy — coincident with his solar return; that conjunction, a week after Pence’s solar return, was also conjunct Pence’s Mercury. It must be highly unusual, even unique, for prez and vice-prez to have birthdays so close together. With both their connections to USA Mars, their potential / readiness to facilitate yet another round of incessant warfare has to be considered ominous.
What seems to me astrologically interesting about Pence’s situation and prospects is that at age 58 and a half, he’s nearly in the midst of simultaneous Jupiter and Saturn returns. I’ve seen a supposedly rectified time (Astrodatabank) of 5:00 p.m., yielding Scorpio rising with Jupiter and Neptune in whole-sign first house: which feels right. If correct, though, that puts both natal and transit Jupiter and Saturn in the first quadrant of his chart: the most personal and private zone. That likely wouldn’t indicate a period of elevation of status to front and center in the public eye. (Though natal Uranus in tenth would support an unusual situation changing his position, and Neptune in first can be someone who serves as a stand-in.)
Oh bless you Marjorie Orr.
You have made my day,my week,my month,my year!
And oh, many experts are still reluctant to say “this is it” for Trump, even when he incriminates himself with his tweets. But the consensus outside Fox News seems to be Pence will face charges, there was so much more for Mueller to work with Flynn than charges he pled quilty to that he must have given Mueller a legal access to at least one of the two people who were his senior in the Campaign and Transition.
So, this seems to be unfolding exactly as I thought. The common opinion among legal commentators seems to be that Pence will go down before Trump. Flynn is bound to have “direct goods” on him, and indicting a VP isn’t as controversial legally as indicting a President, as demostrated by Spiro Agnew. Pence has been terribly quiet in all this, too, he isn’t new to politics and may have a hint of decency.
