Trump and Harry Truman's Glamorous Prison

Donald Trump with a tenth house Sun/Uranus conjunction in Gemini opposing his Moon in Sagittarius, in a lucky trine to Jupiter in the second house of money was born to shake things up.  Mars in Leo conjunct his Ascendant gives him the drive and incentive to do that. That prominent Mars also gives him a combative nature and the love of being first.  Restless and easily bored he requires intellectual stimulation and needs to take action. He’s impulsive and often does not think things through.  With Mercury, his talker, in Cancer, he says what he is feeling at the moment. 

For the past few years Trump has been riding the benevolent wave of Jupiter passing over his Leo Ascendant, moving through Virgo and his first house and now, into Libra and his second house of money and values.  Here it will connect with his natal Jupiter kicking off that lovely trine between his Jupiter and Sun/Uranus/Moon combination. This is a Jupiter return which occurs every 12 years.  Due to the retrograde motion of Jupiter, Trump will get three exact hits from transiting Jupiter to his natal Jupiter.  The dates are December 4, 2016, April 13, 2017 and August 4, 2017.  Jupiter brings all the goodies to the party. It is a period of expansion and brings new people, ideas and philosophies into your life.

The day before his first Jupiter return, mean old Saturn moves into play opposing his Gemini Uranus. Opposition is a perfect word for the combination of these two energies.  Saturn speaks to restriction, conformity, tradition whereas Uranus will have no truck with tradition, refuses to conform and will struggle against any restriction imposed upon it.  This will be a harsh dose of reality for Trump as he begins to realize how confined and restricted his life will be for the next four years.  On December 30, 2016 Saturn will make the first of three conjunctions with his natal Moon and on January 14, 2017 the first of three oppositions to his natal Sun.  Throughout 2017 Trump will be dealing with these opposing energies.  Jupiter wants expansion, Saturn wants restriction.  Uranus wants to kick down the walls and start something new and completely different. 

Trump is a money maker and risk taker.  He pushes the envelope and will not easily adjust to any restrictions placed upon him.  He may find that tweeting in the small hours will be the only outlet to vent his frustrations.  Much has been made of the first one hundred days of his presidency. Expect something explosive and shocking by the end of January.  We don’t need a crystal ball to know that health care insurance is on the agenda but by his very nature Trump will deliver an unexpected monkey wrench into the Republican agenda.  He is not going to conform. He will surprise his supporters as well as his enemies.  The planet Uranus is involved in his chart and in the sky. Uranus delivers the unthinkable.  Hang onto your hat as this roller coaster President begins his ride.
