The USA is due for a dose of reality as tr Saturn in Capricorn starts to opposes the USA Venus and Jupiter in Cancer in Jan/Feb, July/Aug and Oct/Nov 2018. They’ll feel unloved or at a loss, with their enthusiasm and confidence dented. Both Venus and Jupiter have financial implications though the economy and employment rates are holding up, partly because of strategies put in place pre-Trump. Economic plans usually having a two year lag.
The fanatical, hostilely-argumentative tr Uranus square the USA Mercury opposition Pluto will have cleared by mid April, though it won’t totally disappear. Previous occurrences oversaw Watergate and McCarthyism.
The Jan/Feb and July/Aug Solar and Lunar Eclipses will jolt the USA Aquarius Moon (no matter which chart start time is used) which usually brings emotional and domestic shocks, as did last August’s. More pointedly the mid July Solar Eclipse in Cancer will conjunct the USA Mercury pulling on the Pluto opposition, so sparking up that bitterly dogmatic energy again for several months, with mis-communications rife. The Eclipse opposition Pluto will offer an opportunity for a clean-out of stagnating situations, though it’s likely to be ignored, leading to further decay.
Neptune is also at its favourite ploy of dissolving, undermining and spreading smokescreens around – conjunct the Solar Arc Sun in January; and more worrisome, squaring the Mars/Uranus midpoint from April onwards, which also has the Solar Arc Saturn conjunct around mid year. When Mars/Uranus is triggered it brings a test of nerve, is associated with violence or operations. Neptune in the mix will add a layer of cunning and deceit, as well as mental instability.
On a more cheerful note the Jupiter/Node midpoint will be activated by tr Pluto in opposition from late March, on and off till late 2019. And tr Jupiter in Scorpio will be trine the USA Sun and then Mercury and sextile Pluto till the fall which will both bring morale boosts.
The USA leadership-ability North Node in Leo will meet a nodal return mid 2018, which is (should be) a time of striving to develop the country’s soul destiny.
The Trump term chart indicates a marked change of direction when tr Uranus squares the MC in March; more so as Uranus moves into Taurus to square the Sun from mid-May onwards, which will be a considerable jolt – that latter returns in Oct/Nov and early 2019. There will be moments of triumph and luck from late March and also several sinking phases through the year. The real problems may hold off until 2019, especially late in the year as the Solar Arc Pluto closes the square to Uranus to exact, which is highly unstable. The Jupiter on his Term chart does give him more luck than he deserves, but it could also tempt him to push past across one line too far as tr Pluto starts to square the Jupiter in 2019/2020. That can often result in clashes with authorities.

Heard a wise commentator say today that the U.S. has weathered many struggles against fierce external adversaries, but never before have we had to fight for survival against an internal adversary…in the White House.
Good chance he’s gone in mid-April—how else does the “fanatical hostillely-argumentative” phase subside?
I just want to know if we even have a fighting chance to pray this country out of the hands of Putin and the billionaires who seem to be dividing every resource up amongst themselves.
Don’t bet on it, Ava. Things are too far gone, too polarized, to impose a corrective action.
