the October Astrology of Trump, Covid and the United States | a major transformation to restore balance, part III - extremely dangerous time for Trump


 

I will link to the previous posts in this series at the end.


This will be short and sweet and wrap this series up (not another dangler, Cat - you are not making jewelry here!). We'll look at Trump/Biden and Election Day and Inauguration Day in another post. I suspect it is not going to go smoothly and that there are more twists and turns ahead. And we don't need astrology to see that!


OK, back to Trump, October and covid. 

 

So, exactly as Pluto stationed direct, Trump came home from the hospital 


(which we said in the last post about Trump and covid could help him pull a rabbit out of his hat and we'd kind of know where we stand with his health after Pluto's change of direction)


claiming to feel 10 years younger and certainly he appears/sounds to be back to his old self. He had a couple beneficial transits, but it's still quite an amazing turnaround/rather mind-boggling (if totally true) - although nothing about Trump should boggle our minds by this point -  this rise from the sweaty sheets of his death bed almost as fast as a bed's sheets can be changed.

 

Astrologically this might be a good lesson in the importance of rulerships and not to discount them, because the ruler of Trump's 6th house (of health) is Uranus, located in his 10th house (of his career/public life), so having the ruler of his 6th in his 10th - the ramifications of covid/disease can show up there, too.  

 

And they have, with recent polls showing him sinking.

 

But, if we keep in mind this whole "rising from his sweaty death bed sheets" thing - I would not count out his re-election no matter what the polls are showing. Especially with his buddy change-maker Uranus so active. Now that he has survived/bounced back from his immediate 6th house challenges (the illness - although there could be something lingering with this), maybe his 10th house career can bounce, too. 

 

I imagine his bed is made pretty well by the White House staff (tight sheets=extra bounce).

 

On the other hand Biden is far from out either (and he has some of the same virus transits Trump has) - we will look at the election and inauguration charts in another post.


For Trump's supporters, who love that he is shaking the country up, it might be good to know his re-election (if it happens) appears central to the 'United' States literally being shaken apart. We talked about the country splitting apart as a worse case scenario in the Gemini North Node posts and by the time we get to the U.S. Pluto return's exact first pass on February 20, 2022 (with the transiting North Node exactly on the U.S. chart's natal Wuhan/Pandora conjunction and malefic fixed star Algol and conjunct Trump's mid-heaven - another totally unbelievable chart) we will really be in the thick of whatever a potential second Trump term (or a Biden/Harris term) will bring us. 

 

Whoever wins will have his/her work cut out for them. Maybe the split has already happened in bigger ways than we can see right now. Time is showing itself as rather non-linear and stretchy these days.


For now, let's look a little sooner ahead to the Taurus Full Moon on October 31, 2020 that will close out the month conjunct "anything-can-happen" Uranus. Full Moon on Uranus sounds about as Full Moon "ready to howl" as Full Moon's come.


I have said since Trump was elected, he kind of is Uranus - born with Uranus conjunct his North Node and Sun and displaying a very chaos-producing/liberating Uranian nature. The Sun (ruler of his Leo rising chart) opposing Uranus at the time of this Taurus Full Moon will impact him in similar spaces again since Taurus rules his 10th house and Uranus rules his 6th house of health and is located in his 10th house of career/public life.

 

The Scorpio Sun (conjunct Trump's natal Chariklo - the asteroid named for Chiron's wife, whose orbit takes us from Saturn to Uranus/from Cappy's stability to Aquarius chaos just as Trump himself has) transiting Trump's 3rd house (4th by rulership, so his home, foundation) of news/information is opposing - things culminate, peak, come into the light. That conjunction to unpredictable and chaotic Uranus can indicate another twist. 

 

Trump was born on a Full Moon, so they are VERY powerful for him. I would think this one speaks of the closing out of his career, but his gazillion connections to the United States natal chart makes me wonder if we will ever be truly free of him/his impact.


This is the last lunation before the election, although keep in mind it is a closing lunation. 

 

During the last New Moon (final opening lunation before the election and in play on November 4th, although of course impacted by the Full Moon by that time), Trump had that Grand Cardinal Cross - which he still has some access to, but needs to initiate something new and he seems determinedly on the path of the "same old thing", maybe unaware the world that got him elected the first time has ended.


That last New Moon (again the last New Moon before the U.S. election) - in the chart we drew for Washington DC has 3 degrees Sagittarius exactly on the mid-heaven which is Biden's ascendant/rising degree. Biden's natal North Node (fate) is 0 degrees Virgo which is currently the home of fixed star Regulus

 

(the king maker star that promises riches and glory but downfall if vengeance is not avoided - had been at 29 degrees Leo for the last 72 years which is Trump's ascendant/rising degree and closely conjunct Biden's natal Chiron and was in play at the Great American Eclipse of August 2017 when Trump had fired Comey and vengeance wasn't). 


0 degrees Virgo, Biden's natal North Node, is also home of Trump's natal Hera (Juno to the Romans and we know his natal Juno is conjunct his natal Chiron). 0 degrees Virgo is the degree of 'the common woman'. 

 

It is also conjunct Kamala Harris's natal IC (base of her chart/herself), so do we move from the king to the common woman in both a literal and symbolic sense or can Trump/Uranus pull another rabbit out of his hat at the Full Moon - we'll talk about that in the election post!


And then we are getting out of politics again because whoever wins this thing - the energies/the new storylines are much bigger than politics and happening in our personal lives, too, we really don't need to turn on the news to see/feel it. 

 

The 'common woman' is actually US after all, all of us. Every man. Every woman. All the asteroids/dwarf planets, mostly feminine energies and truly, truly pregnant with new possibilities - these fragments of culture/our personal stories woven into the strands of our DNA to be activated as they are discovered and synchronistically named. 

 

Is it any wonder life is more complex than ever?! 

 

We either bust every telescope on the planet - would this work? probably not - or we learn to flow with the changes of universal consciousness/sometimes chaos. 

 

For the United States one important question is - how do we move into a more equal and humane culture with this myth/dark cloud of American exceptionalism hanging over our heads. Probably we can't, so along comes our Pluto return just in the nick of time. Kaboom. Trump, the virus/our responses and their ramifications disrupting our Capricorn second house perception of who we are, what is valuable/what matters, what goals are important, how we maintain and support ourselves and others. 

 

It's surely time to pivot, personally and collectively, but still tangled in the dead cords of the old world we are unsure what that would look like and what that even means, but if we don't do something different we are going to feel more and more empty.


We'll look at the election charts next week.


xo all
