Given that health is a key issue on Trump’s 2nd term Administration chart with a ramped-up focal point Moon in the 6th house of health square Mars opposition Mercury it is no surprise that the slash-and-burn policies cutting back federal health budgets and staff are hitting the headlines.
Appointing Robert F Kennedy Jnr, an anti-vaxxer, as head of the Department of Health, has provoked understandable anguish from insiders. One said: “RFK Jr is a disaster. He is completely dismantling things to the point where the damage is going to become irreparable.”
Decades-old research centres dedicated to preventing chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease are being shuttered. CDC, the Center for Disease Control’s childhood lead-poisoning prevention programme was shuttered. One in two American toddlers showing detectable levels of lead, a neurotoxin that can cause cognitive impairments and developmental issues. The Prevention Research Centres (PRC) programme dedicated to chronic disease prevention in poorer communities in the United States — is to be closed. Established in 1984 the programme is likely to have prevented thousands of premature deaths from obesity, addiction, diabetes and cancer.
Similarly the FDA (food and Drug Administration), experts responsible for inspecting factories to ensure food products are safe, have been hamstrung by the mass firing of staff.
The Trump administration’s demand that federal agencies radically downsize is driven by a key figure in the conservative movement. Russell Vought, the principal author of Project 2025, argues that the federal bureaucracy is an existential threat to the country itself and should dramatically downsize. He is thought to be the one behind the Health departments decisions, more so than RFK Jnr.
The Inauguration Moon will get a sharp wake-up call when the Progressed Moon closes the square to Mars by this time next month. There may be other global issues involved, but in the background health is looming as a crucial problem.
The USA 4 July 1776 11am Philadelphia chart has Solar Arc Sun moving through the 6th house moving to square Mars and oppose Neptune in 2026/27. The USA Sibly chart, 4 July 1776 5.10pm has tr Uranus conjunct the Solar Arc Neptune both in the 6th house – and both being rattled by tr Uranus in final degree Taurus on and off into mid 2026. Plus the Solar Arc Midheaven being conjunct Uranus in the 6th. Both charts and the Inauguration home in strongly on 6th house issues.
Russell Vought, 26 March 1976, is a ruthless Sun Aries opposition Pluto square Mars in Cancer; with his Sun trine Neptune plus Pluto makes him mega ambitious; and an opportunistic Jupiter opposition Uranus.
He looks to be on a downward slide from 2026 onwards in a major way as tr Neptune Saturn square his Mars and continue on in hard aspect round his Cardinal T square until 2028. He will battle on against the odds in 2026 but his elastic will be pretty much gone thereafter.
RFK Jnr, 17 January 1954 5.32pm (unverified) Washington, DC, looks stuck and agitated now with his SA Saturn opposition his Uranus; rattled by arguments in 2026 and completely stuck by 2027 with his SA Pluto conjunct his Saturn.
The CDC, 1 July 1946, is showing the strain and pain most in 2027 to 2029 – so the attritional damage will peak perhaps as a public health crisis emerges.
The FDA, 30 June 1906, in a spiral of uncertainty at the moment with SA Saturn conjunct Neptune; equally shows 2027 onwards as the real catastrophe.
The Dept of Health, 11 April 1953, has a yod of Jupiter sextile Mercury (Moon) inconjunct Saturn Neptune in Libra opposition Sun Venus in Aries. The yod has moved by Solar Arc putting the SA Neptune Saturn opposition SA Sun Venus on cue to be challenged by tr Neptune Saturn in square – hinting at it being pushed onto a different trajectory.
Trump with tr Pluto just entering his 6th may alter his outlook on health services – not that he will go short of a doctor but it might (!?!) knock some sense into his head.
Things will come to a head next month with the adoption of Trump’s mega-bill with deep cuts to Medicare and other health services. Trump has a pathological need to hurt others, and RFK Jr is worse. The poor and the uninformed who voted for the GOP will suffer the most. The question will be if enough democracy remains in the US to allow the people to overwhelminglly reject this in the mid-terms. That is doubtful. Some kind of inevitable pulbic health disaster may be more effective than elections.
Marjorie, is there any hope in the astrology for any improvements or turnaround?
This is utterly depressing for anyone who cares about the future of the US. These ideologues are showing how fragile US institutions are and how easily and quickly these wrecking balls can destroy them with little opposition.
Thanks.
What’s been amazing about all of these chart analyses that have been published about the Trump administration is that, consistently, they show most (if not all) of the members of it are going to have a challenging 2026. And this one is no different. It begs the question: what is going to happen? Time will tell.
But in terms of 2026 —across the board, it just might mean personal challenges (relationships) and no challenges to their daily activities as part of their careers. In other words, it might not mean “push back” or public opposition. Like you wrote, time will tell but I’m not optimistic. The MAGA I know are still very happy and relived with how things are progressing. They are no longer upset and stressed about grocery prices. They are getting what they wanted across the board.
