~Some of the Symbolic Readings from DJT's Horoscope~

Of course I see Donald Trump's flaws. But as an astrologer I am supposed to be dispassionate about all that.

Shall I also write about Kamala Harris? Maybe, but that would be harder because (a) I am very suspicious of her, especially on war and abortion, and (b) I have been familiar with Trump's chart since he ran in 2016 and have had time to ponder its peculiarities.

A few preliminaries: 1. I do not predict election winners. It's tempting, of course, to speculate and I allow myself to do that. I may say things like "If Trump controls this tendency, he would have a better shot at winning" or "If Harris could emphasize this quality in her personality it would help" and so on. 2. I do not believe there are "good" or "bad" horoscopes; everything depends on the way the native (of the horoscope) uses the astrological setup he was given at birth. 

And so what good is astrology in politics? It shows the personality and character traits of the candidates. It does not absolutely show which of two candidates would do a better job in the given office, but shows a lot about the way they operate, and what might be their particular strengths and weaknesses. It's astute, brilliant psychology.

Following in this report shall be some of the symbols in Donald J Trump's chart I already posted here some days ago. First, perhaps the worst symbol in his chart. I don't want to heighten the Trump Derangement Syndrome in anyone, but here it is:

His birth Mars at 26-27 Leo: "A dagger. This is an ominous sign! It may mean danger to the native at the hands of an enemy, or, yet more unhappily, the reverse of this. The native will certainly be of a quarrelsome, argumentative nature; given over to impulsive actions. A restless and destructive mind, always on the alert to attack, to oppose, to argue. Very executive, but by no means constructive in disposition, and hence liable to go through life like a tornado, remarked but not esteemed." 

There it is, the worries of the Trump Derangement people in one paragraph written by a seer in the 1890s. 

Yet I support Trump's candidacy, because that is not all there is in his horoscope. There is also this:

(His Mercury at Cancer 9:) "A little village lying in a fertile valley. This indicates one whose heart is full of native goodness, and whose patience, thrift, and true humility will bring his work to perfection. There is very little aggression in this native; like the valley it is fruitful in good things because of its lowliness, while surrounding high peaks of the mountains are barren. [Trump's champions keep pointing out how despite his wealth he has a natural touch with the common man, as in his stint working in a McDonald's. Rural people generally like him.] He will be always successful, even beyond his ambitions, which are modest but steadfast. It is a degree of Contentment." 

I admit that these two readings appear to contradict each other. But in fact they show two sides of the same Donald Trump. Astrology does not deny that people are complex, but adumbrates their complexity.

Here is more, from other planets in the DJT chart, posted here a few weeks ago:

}The Interesting DJT{

Continuing with a few symbols from Donald Trump's birth-chart (the Borelli-Sepharial symbols): 

Moon, Sagittarius 21-22: "Two arrows crossed: An aggressive spirit, a mind given over to contention and strife, a soul set against the current of public feeling and opinion. Such an one will be continually engaged in the pursuit of his own eccentricities. There is danger of litigation and a volant end." [Two assassination attempts so far.]

Venus, Cancer 25-26: "A meteor or falling star. His position in life will be always subject to reversals and changes and his success will not be lasting. If he should attain to eminence he will be in danger of a fall. It is a degree of Uncertainty." 

These two symbols have played out already with the endless litigation to which DJT has been subject. The last two symbols for today are from a formula I devised over the years to choose the two most prominent symbols in any individual's chart:

Moon's south node (south because the moon is gibbous), 20-21 Sagittarius: "Two triangles interlaced, with a third superposed. The index of a mind of more than average ability. The conquest of things mental and spiritual will be a chief object. A balance of physical and mental forces, holding the power to utilize them to considerable extent. It gives aptitude for the study of the social sciences, and confers ability for self-government and rulership."

Saturn, Cancer 23-24: "A strong castle on a high rock, and upon the battlements of the castle a flag with a crown upon it is extended in the wind. A strong, masterly character of great endurance, ability and daring; ambitious of honor and capable of withstanding his enemies while achieving greatness and fame for himself. It is a degree of Mastery." 

No prediction about the election! It does appear that Trump is on a roll 

at the time of this writing.
